Recipe use according to traditional Chinese medicine:
-supplements Yin Kidney and Liver
-relieves Liver stagnation and clears heat
-harmonizes the Liver and Spleen and/or Stomach
-clears heat from emptiness
-strengthens the Heart and soothes its soul Shen
-wei syndromes (atrophy) from Liver and Kidney insufficiency
Description:
The basic motive of the classic blend is to replenish and nourish the Yin of the Liver and Kidneys, which occurs after the age of 40, especially in women who have their blood and Yin depleted by menstruation and childbirth, as well as being under prolonged psychological pressure, however it may also be useful for some men. It is the long-term psychological pressure and stress, along with the reduced amount of Kidney Essence and Liver Blood, that causes insufficient nourishment and cooling of the tissues and organs - symptoms of empty heat to fire arise in the body.
A blockage of the Liver can also result in a flare-up of the full one. The resulting heat harasses the spirit of Shen and irritability, outbursts of anger, insomnia or headaches occur. Even the Spleen-Digestion complex does not work effectively and more dampness is produced, but it may not be apparent. But along with the heat, it causes us to feel tension and slight swelling in the limbs and face.
In addition to replenishing the Yin (the entire basic Yin replenishing blend - Liu Wei Di Huang Wan - is incorporated), the blend also clears the Liver, harmonizes it with the Spleen (which addresses symptoms such as burning pain in the epigastrium, acid regurgitation, wolf hunger attacks, and dry mouth or constipation), and calms the spirit of Shen by clearing the heat and replenishing nourishment.
It is for people whose stress produces physical symptoms (we talk about its somatization) while being tired, exhausted, and deficient in Kidney (essence and Yin) and Liver blood.
