This formula addresses a deficiency of Yin, primarily of the Stomach, Spleen and Kidney, a deficiency of Qi with dryness, deficiency Heat, and declining Kidney Yang and Essence. Overconsumption of alcohol, a high intake of sweet and fatty foods, emotional stress and a constitutional tendency toward deficiency of Yin are all causes and contributing factors. Obesity and sedentary lifestyles are also causative factors for the increasing prevalence of this pattern which, over time, leads to a depletion of the essential Yang fluids, deficient Yin, deficient Heat, fullness in the Middle Burner and rising Qi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJade Spring Nourishing Formula\u003c\/strong\u003e also addresses a general pattern of fluid depletion due to Yin deficiency by effectively replenishing body fluids, augmenting Qi, cooling Heat and nourishing the Yin.

American ginseng root benefits the Qi, generates fluids, nourishes the Yin, nurtures Lung Yin and cools Fire from Yin deficiency.

The classics say that the Metal element both obeys and changes, and our \u003cstrong\u003eWise Judge \u003c\/strong\u003eallows for both this constancy and softness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chinese say a “sea of Qi” gathers in the chest. This energy reservoir regulates rhythmic movement, especially the constant life motions of respiration and heartbeat. \u003cstrong\u003eWise Judge \u003c\/strong\u003eis an important preparation commonly used by Chinese people when they want to “kick back,” taking it as a mild, replenishing tonic to counter the wear and tear of a busy life. It is especially designed for the Yin and Qi of the Lungs. The Lungs govern the upper limits of Qi, keeping the bodily energy intact by condensing, consolidating and regrouping the Qi when it becomes scattered or its boundaries ill-defined. As they are concerned with moment-to-moment inhalation and exhalation, the Lungs relate to the give and take of ordinary human activity. In China this is a popular tonic, reflecting their cultural belief that when one expends energy with an intense self- directed pace, a mild tonic is needed to let the cool, refreshing, gentle movements of heaven recharge one’s being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePHYSICAL INDICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWise Judge \u003c\/strong\u003eprimarily moistens the Lungs, and is very thirst-quenching.

Such bereavement can apply to many areas of life, and Wise Judge can help the Metal element become remolded into a new shape, allowing for a healing transformation.
