Description:
A classic blend of traditional Chinese medicine, said to have been revealed to the author (in the 16th century) by the Heavenly Emperor once in a dream... It is formulated to address the lack of nourishment of the Heart and Kidneys when Yin and Blood are deficient. A deficiency of Yin substances can lead to increased activity of Yang, which loses its root in Yin and rises upward in the form of empty heat, where it harasses the Shen soul and leads to symptoms such as irritability or, conversely, regret, Heart palpitations with anxiety, night sweats on the chest, possibly hot flashes, insomnia and memory problems. On the other hand, lack of nutrition, which is the responsibility of the Yin substances, can lead to fatigue, both mental and consequently physical. These are often conditions associated with menopause in women and andropause in men, when Yin levels in the body naturally decline.
In men, Yin instability can also lead to premature ejaculation or nocturnal seminal discharges.
The body lacks that which cools and moistens, so the resulting empty heat to fire can also manifest as dry mouth or ulcerations on the tongue (the tongue is an organ that belongs to the heart). Patients also suffer from constipation with dry stools.
After the yin substances are replenished and the heat cools down, Shen's soul calms down, concentration, memory and mood improve, and the patient has restful sleep and plenty of energy again.
