All of the herbs for Six Rehmannia Pill are found in\u003cstrong\u003e Bright Eye Rehmannia\u003c\/strong\u003e. With Kidney and Liver Yin deficiency, the Essence (Kidneys) and Blood (Liver) are not abundant and are unable to nourish the upper part of the body, especially the orifices. The base formula focuses on tonifying Kidney and Liver Yin, draining Fire and supporting the Spleen. There are basically two groups of ingredients found in the base formula: tonifying herbs and herbs that predominantly drain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe first group is comprised of Prepared Rehmannia root, Asiatic cornelian cherry and Chinese yam rhizome. Prepared Rehmannia root, known as a “Blood of the Blood” herb, nourishes the deepest aspect of the Blood, as well as tonifies the Kidneys and Liver and boosting the Essence (Jing). Chinese yam rhizome stabilizes and binds, and Asiatic cornelian cherry retains the Essence, protecting Yin and body fluids. Prepared Rehmannia root, Asiatic cornelian cherry, Chinese yam rhizome tonify Liver and Kidney Yin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe second group of herbs is comprised of Asian water plantain rhizome, Tree peony root bark and Poria. Tree peony root bark cools deficiency Heat, gently invigorates Blood without injuring the Blood or Yin, dispels Liver Blood stasis and clears ascending Liver Fire. Asian water plantain rhizome supports healthy urination and leaches out Dampness. It is often used with herbs that tonify the Kidneys to prevent Kidney Fire. Thus Tree Peony root bark is used in this formula to mitigate ascending Liver Fire, and Asian water plantain rhizome to prevent ascending Kidney Fire. Poria tonifies the Spleen, eliminates Dampness by supporting healthy urination, calms the Spirit and harmonizes the Middle Burner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMore specifically addressing nourishment of the eye, Lycium fruit and Chrysanthemum flower nourish and benefit the eyes. Lycium fruit brightens the eyes, nourishes and supplements the Liver and Kidneys, benefits the Essence and enriches the Yin. It supports good vision for eyes that have that have failed to be nourished by adequate Essence, Blood and Yin. Chrysanthemum flower, cooling and aromatic, can ascend or descend, drain or tonify, making it particularly useful in supporting the aim of the formula. It is particularly effective at dispersing Wind Heat, cooling and tonifying the Liver and brightening the eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDong quai root tonifies and invigorates Blood, especially for patterns of deficiency affecting Heart and Blood. It is an important herb to address Blood stasis, especially accompanied by Cold due to deficiency. It is suitable for all Blood patterns involving stasis, deficiency and dryness. It helps in this formula by tonifying Blood, but also by moving it and balancing some of the cold herbs found in this formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBupleurum root, a rising and dispersing herb, dispels Heat generated from deficiency and spreads Liver Qi to relieve constraint.

This activity is concerned with the polarity of gentle reflectiveness and dynamic responsiveness; it embraces both the Yin power to gracefully unfold – while being content, quiet and present – and the Yang power to activate, move and transform. The Chinese refer to these functions when they speak of the Kidneys as the “Mansion of Fire and Water” and the “Root of Life.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile \u003cstrong\u003eQuiet Contemplative\u003c\/strong\u003e gives Water its responsiveness and reflective quality, \u003cstrong\u003eDynamic Warrior\u003c\/strong\u003e restores the quality of movement – the Fire within Water. It is used for Water that has become soggy, congested, inactive and frozen. When its quiescent qualities have become excessive, \u003cstrong\u003eDynamic Warrior\u003c\/strong\u003e can bring a crucial balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDynamic Warrior\u003c\/strong\u003e, like\u003cstrong\u003e Quiet Contemplative\u003c\/strong\u003e, is for the “root of life.” While Quiet Contemplative is designed for dry and brittle roots that cause instability, \u003cstrong\u003eDynamic Warrior\u003c\/strong\u003e is for the person who lacks the quickening power to move at all. Dynamic Warrior propels the root energy forward, giving it firmness, vigor and movement. Whenever activating and assertive energy is required, this formula can make an important contribution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe earliest writings in China speak of Yang as being the basic animating and invigorating quality of life. \u003cstrong\u003eDynamic Warrior\u003c\/strong\u003e stimulates the Fire to break through the restriction and immobility that non-assertive Will, paralyzing fear or numbing cold can create. It is one of the most potent tonifying formulas in Chinese Herbology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePHYSICAL INDICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDynamic Warrior\u003c\/strong\u003e is used for a wide variety of situations where Kidney Yang energy is insufficient. Sometimes the pattern resembles one which indicates \u003cstrong\u003eQuiet Contemplative\u003c\/strong\u003e, but they will also have a passive or inactive aspect. Because the Chinese say that Kidney Fire controls Kidney Water, this formula is used whenever fluids don’t move properly. Because Kidney Fire is responsible for the body’s warmth, \u003cstrong\u003eDynamic Warrior\u003c\/strong\u003e is indicated whenever a person is inordinately cold. \u003cstrong\u003eDynamic Warrio\u003c\/strong\u003er is formulated to root the Qi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePSYCHOLOGICAL AND TRANSFORMATIONAL INDICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen fear overcomes the activities of life on a psychological level, \u003cstrong\u003eDynamic Warrior\u003c\/strong\u003e is called for. It is especially for fear that causes a paralysis of movement, confusion and indecision. It is indicated when fear makes it difficult to know or express what one wants. It is also for occasional tiredness. When a weak Will (Zhi) cannot activate, \u003cstrong\u003eDynamic Warrior\u003c\/strong\u003e makes room for movement. It is the formula for the inability to stand on one’s own feet, assert oneself and be firm. This formula can also be used by someone unable to discover faith, or for the (sometimes excessive) desire to surrender while unable to find a focus. When a paralysis of Will (Zhi) causes hesitation, indecisiveness and hopelessness, \u003cstrong\u003eDynamic Warrior’s\u003c\/strong\u003e dynamic properties contribute positively. Again, like any Chinese herbal preparation, the primary mode of \u003cstrong\u003eDynamic Warrior\u003c\/strong\u003e is to reharmonize a pattern of being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs we have stated in the description of \u003cstrong\u003eQuiet Contemplative\u003c\/strong\u003e, the point of departure for our \u003cstrong\u003eDynamic Warrior\u003c\/strong\u003e (Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan) is the famous “Golden Chest Kidney Qi Pill” of Essential Formulas of the Golden Chest (220 A.D.). This formula found an important place in Chinese Herbology and inspired much testing, discussion and revision. Great scholars have been continually creating new versions by adding and subtracting from it, and changing the dosage. In formulating our own version of\u003cstrong\u003e Dynamic Warrior\u003c\/strong\u003e, we have paid careful attention to these historical precedents and have also reflected on our experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith much appreciation, we incorporated Yan Yong-Huo’s addition of Schisandra fruit and Achyranthes root, which he describes in Formulas Beneficial to Life (1253 A.D.). We also carefully studied the changes proposed by Zhang Jie-Bin in his Complete Works of Jing-Yue (1624 A.D.), which forms the contemporary Chinese basis for usage of this formula. Following Dr. Zhang’s reworking of his “Right Returning Drink” (You Gui Yin) and “Great Original Primary Decoction” (Da Bu Yuan Jian), we have eliminated what he termed “the three draining components” of the original Golden Chest formula – Alisma, Poria and Peony bark – and added Eucommia bark, Lycium fruit, Chinese red ginseng root and rhizome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn adopting these revisions, we expect that experienced herbalists will see that we’ve carefully sifted through the experience of the Chinese, as well as our own, and have developed a formula able to meet their needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eABOUT THE HERBS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEucommia bark \u003c\/strong\u003eis an important herb to strengthen the Kidney’s activating power.

Any loss of equilibrium between the Heart and Kidney will lead to emotional disturbances, especially of the most intimate of human relationships, that of sexuality and love.

To address this common pattern, Wu Kun (1551-1620 A.D.), in the Ming Dynasty, crafted a famous herbal formula which we have named \u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTemper Fire\u003c\/strong\u003e. Dr. Wu designed it “to nourish and replenish the Yin and conquer the dragon and thunder of unrelieved Fire that arises when the Yin is scorched.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePHYSICAL INDICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemper Fire \u003c\/strong\u003eis suited for signs of Heat, redness, swelling and stagnation. 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.

Other scholars chose slightly different names, but Dr. Qin’s name was adopted in the \u003cem\u003eGolden Mirror \u003c\/em\u003ein 1742 A.D. and is the most commonly used name in China today.

When the spermatic fluid reaches the region of the prostate, it is mixed with nutrient rich secretions from the seminal vesical and the prostate gland itself.

Kidneys are the foundation for all Yin and store the Essence for the body, and when the Kidney Yin becomes depleted, the Yin of the Liver, Heart and Lungs are decreased as well. Especially significant is the mutually supportive relationship between the Kidney Essence, which is stored in the Kidney and nourishes the Liver Blood, and the Liver Blood, which nourishes and replenishes Kidney Essence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKidney Yin deficiency may manifest in the low back or legs with occasional weakness due to the location of Kidney Qi. As the Kidneys open to the ears and the “sea of marrow”, occasional lightheadedness or dizziness may exist within this pattern. Kidney Yin deficiency may also present with occasional blurry vision or floaters. Persistent Kidney Yin deficiency will generate deficiency Heat which may contribute to the Yin being unable to retain substance, especially at the time of night associated with Yin, giving rise to occasional heat sensations in the palms and soles, or occasional night sweats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBalance between the Heart and Kidneys is reflective of the Yang and Yin, or Fire and Water relationship, which is mutually assisting. Kidney Yin deficiency often results in a lack of control over the Yang; Fire from deficiency blazes upward to the Heart channel, manifesting as occasional dry throat or mouth, thirst, lack of sleep and night sweats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen the Kidney and Liver Yin are deficient, Essence and Blood are not flourishing and are unable to nourish the upper part of the body. By tonifying the Kidneys, water is reinforced in order to control Fire. Both the Fire from deficiency and Phlegm can be present with a pattern of Kidney Yin and Spleen deficiency, justifying and explaining the inclusion of herbs that drain fluids and Liver Fire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith age, the Kidney energy and Essence slowly gets depleted, and Yin is more likely to become deficient. \u003cstrong\u003eRehmannia Six\u003c\/strong\u003e addresses Kidney and Liver Yin deficiency, replenishes and restores the foundational Yin to support a healthy aging process and helps to replenish Yin after monthly blood loss.

The first group contains the tonifying herbs. The chief herb, prepared Rehmannia root, strongly nourishes Kidney Yin and Jing or Essence, and in conjunction with Asiatic cornelian cherry and Chinese yam rhizome, astringe the Essence. Asiatic cornelian cherry nourishes the Liver and restrains the leakage of Essence by inhibiting the improper dispersion and drainage through the Liver, and helping the Essence to build up in the Kidneys. Chinese yam rhizome strengthens the Spleen, which is the source of postnatal Essence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second group of herbs mainly sedate and drain. Asian water plantain rhizome drains Dampness accumulation, clears Kidney Yin deficiency Heat, and helps to move the cloying nature of the prepared Rehmannia root. Tree peony root bark sedates Fire due to a deficiency\\ of Liver Yin. Poria drains Dampness, strengthens the Spleen and calms the Spirit. It is paired with Chinese yam rhizome to strengthen the transportative function of the Spleen. Asian water plantain rhizome in conjunction with Poria improve the metabolism of fluids and support healthy urination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTo better address the prevalence of Spleen Qi deficiency in Western culture, and to mitigate the potentially cloying action of the formula, two herbs, both classical modifications are added.

It derives its name from the Chinese physiological view that Kidney Yang is stored in the right Kidney, while Yin resides in the left. Seventeenth century scholar Zhang Jing-Yue described this pattern in Collected Treatises (Jing Yue Quan Shu) as Source Yang deficiency and decline of the prenatal endowment such that the Fire at the Gate of Vitality wanes, Spleen and Stomach become Cold and deficient.

This reflects the Chinese view of the interdependence of Yin and Yang; that neither can exist or thrive without the other. As Yin and Yang share the same root, the Kidney, they are best tonified together. Though Replenish the Right addresses disharmonies of both the Middle and Lower Burner, its source deficiency is of the Yang of the Kidney. \u003cstrong\u003eReplenish the Right\u003c\/strong\u003e augments Essence and is an excellent tonic for anyone experiencing occasional fatigue.

Chinese cinnamon bark fortifies the Kidney and Spleen Yang, and warms the Heart Yang. It also disperses Cold, warms the channels, alleviates stagnation and leads upward floating Yang back to its source.
