The Spleen’s Earth allows presence and power, while the Heart’s Fire provides focus, refinement and communication.

This lack of strength and cohesiveness is recognized by weakness and disintegration affecting all aspects of a person’s life. In classical Chinese literature the formula is rarely described (at least until modern times) on a purely physical level. Dr. Xue Ji, in his \u003cem\u003eAnnotations on Good Formulas for Women \u003c\/em\u003e(volume 24, section 4, 1509 A.D.), lists some of the patterns that \u003cstrong\u003eGather Vitality \u003c\/strong\u003eis used for: occasional insomnia (due to the Heart Blood’s inability to embrace the Spirit), occasional weariness, lethargy or apathy (the Spleen Qi’s inability to arouse), occasional mild heart palpitations (the Heart Blood’s inability to nourish the Heart), limbs that are occasionally tired or achy, occasional general fatigue (the Spleen’s inability to properly rule the muscles), irregular stools (the Spleen’s inability to regulate food), occasional menstrual disharmony (the Blood and Qi’s inability to regulate the menses), occasional “reckless Blood” (the Spleen Qi’s inability to govern the Blood), and occasional digestive disharmonies (Spleen Qi deficiency).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSleep imbalances are probably most frequently mentioned in subsequent literature and include occasional insomnia, interrupted sleep and constant drowsiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGather Vitality \u003c\/strong\u003eis also mentioned as being helpful for occasional speech difficulty that involve nervousness, hesitancy, stammering (Blood deficiency) or when there is lack of power behind words (Qi deficiency).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePSYCHOLOGICAL AND TRANSFORMATIONAL INDICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe instability and psychic unravelling for which this formula is designed is easily recognizable on the mental-cognitive, emotional, behavioral and spiritual levels.

A person is distracted, ruminates and has difficulty in concentration. Excessive thought can occasionally produce mental stagnation, worry, cautiousness or confusion. When the Heart Blood is depleted, thought can be self-deprecating, absent-minded, devoid of self-worth, apprehensive and frequently equating possibility with probability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn an emotional level, one can find this formula useful for feelings of depersonalization, fear of being out of control and fear of committing embarrassing or humiliating actions. \u003cstrong\u003eGather \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVitality \u003c\/strong\u003ecan also be very helpful for a person who feels powerless, hopeless, and has low self-esteem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause \u003cstrong\u003eGather Vitality \u003c\/strong\u003eaddresses both Qi and Blood, helpless behavior on the one hand and restless behavior on the other are addressed and healthy states of mind are supported.

Memory, in Chinese Herbology, is a substantial part of the non-physical dimension of personality that enables concrete and specific acknowledgment. \u003cstrong\u003eGather Vitality \u003c\/strong\u003eis useful for those who cannot report or bring to consciousness all that was (or is) known, felt or perceived; it is for those who are unable to embrace or be comfortable and at one with significant parts of their own selves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGather Vitality \u003c\/strong\u003etonifies the Qi and fortifies a person’s ability to transform, maintain, be firm and encounter, while simultaneously nourishing the blood and enabling acknowledgement, embracing and being comfortable.
