Earlier formulas emphasized the Liver Qi being blocked, tense and obstructed and failed to sufficiently address the fact that in many people the root problem was primarily the Liver’s moisture.

Dr. Wu summarizes, the physical indications for this formula are as follows: the “Kidneys are overworked, with occasional back stiffness and difficulty in bending, occasional urinary difficulty, dripping urine, genital Dampness and occasional dark yellow urine.” Commonly, this formula is used for occasional urinary discomfort that arises from deficiency, having Heat manifesting as occasional ulcerations or pimples. Zhang Jie-Bin says that the formula is especially suitable in these cases when there is a combination of deficient Yin and Lower Burner Damp Heat (\u003cem\u003eComplete Works of \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eJing-Yue\u003c\/em\u003e, chapter 51, 1624 A.D.).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of the connection between the Kidneys and sexual intercourse (\u003cem\u003eLing Shu\u003c\/em\u003e, chapter 66), the formula is also used for sexual energy that is awkward, abrupt or parched (e.g. premature or ejaculation, dry vagina or discomfort during intercourse).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePSYCHOLOGICAL AND TRANSFORMATIONAL INDICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA deficient Kidney Yin pattern with Fire signs is usually noticeable when life’s movement is erratic. Activity develops easily (even too easily), but it does not sustain or stay focused by the Yin. Assertion is not balanced by stability and firmness. Because the Kidneys are sometimes thought to be especially related to fear (\u003cem\u003eSu Wen\u003c\/em\u003e, chapter 23), this pattern can be characterized by easily generated desires, thoughts or activities that, on reflection or confrontation, generate fear which causes retreat or collapse. Structure topples in the face of the unknown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Will \u003cem\u003e(Zhi) \u003c\/em\u003eis stored in the Kidney and needs to be controlled, according to the classics. China’s oldest book says that a “bound Will” is one aspect of life that “allows grace and compliance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e. . . and harmony in the Tao” (\u003cem\u003eSu Wen\u003c\/em\u003e, chapter 1). When the Yin aspect of the Will does not root its Yang complement, this potential grace is lost. \u003cstrong\u003eTemper Fire \u003c\/strong\u003ecan be a first step, at least on an herbal level, to soothe a chafing and impatient Will.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChen Chun (1159-1223 A.D.) said that “Wisdom is firmness in Heaven and winter in time. When it manifests, all things return to their roots and their destiny, well settled in their collection and preservation. When, in Wisdom, the right and wrong of the ten thousand things can be seen with absolutely no possibility of alteration, that is the principle of firmness” (\u003cem\u003eMaster of Bei-Xi’s \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eExplanation of Terms\u003c\/em\u003e, volume 8). Whenever the Kidney’s Yin is exhausted and its reflective quality destabilized, its Yang decisive quality can become uncontrolled, producing self-consuming inwardness, self-deprecation, fault-finding, frequent emotional changes, rapid intellectual changes, erratic behavior and an unsettled sense of self. Only when the Wisdom and Will’s Yin and Yang are in harmony can a person, to use the words of Liu Zi-Hui (1101-1147 A.D.): “. . . dig into the darkness of his self to bring forth the pure light of mature wisdom.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenerally speaking, \u003cstrong\u003eTemper Fire \u003c\/strong\u003eis appropriate if the Yin of the Kidneys is insufficient and the person has Fire signs affecting any Kidney function.
