It is a down-to-earth energy: stable, honest, with a willingness to embrace self and others. When this transforming ability is obstructed, the Spleen can easily become stuck in a receiving mode, without the capacity to transmute; this over-accumulation is often described as “Dampness.” One then tends to become overly self-conscious and unable to make a move that risks exposure. One may ruminate over endless possibilities or obsess over ideas, often developing a mental flabbiness or dullness that inhibits the possibility of constructive movement. Numerous options, rather than serving as possibilities for growth, become a cause of indecision and lack of clarity, nurturing capacities become an excuse for being a victim, dependability becomes an inability to discern or think critically and stability becomes stagnation.

The Kidney is a manifestation of the Water element and ultimate Yin; the Heart of the Fire element and Yang: they each nurture and check each other.

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. The Heart and Kidney each contain Yin and Yang, Fire and Water, so this relationship of opposites exists not only between the sexes, but inside of ourselves as well.

Defensive (Wei) Qi is responsible for protecting the body from external invasion. It circulates in the outer layers of the body, between the skin and the muscles and its function is to prevent exterior influences such as Wind, Heat and Cold from penetrating to deeper levels of the body. When an exterior Wind Heat condition is not addressed properly, the exterior influence can penetrate to the Lesser (Shao Yang) level, midway between the Interior and the Exterior, where it might remain entrenched. This usually will manifest as an internal Heat or Damp Heat condition. The resulting Heat or Damp Heat can further damage the Qi and Yin of the body, leading to deficiency states that can leave one open to further invasions.

The formula was published in the Shang Han Lun (Treatise on Cold Febrile Disease) by Zhang Zhong-Jing as early as 200 A.D., and was originally developed to expel deeply penetrated invasions lodged in the Shao Yang (Lesser Yang), which is the innermost layer of Yang right next to the body’s Yin core. While the indication may seem obscure, it is the most important formula to ensure the smooth flow of Qi along the longitudinal axis of the body (i.e. the Triple Burner) as well as from the body core to the limbs (i.e. the Gallbladder channel). Large-leaf gentian root is specifically added to guide the formula to enter the Gallbladder channel and to expel Wind Damp from the channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe herbs in the foundational formula are as follows: Cool and pungent Bupleurum root expels invasion of the Shao Yang by expanding forcefully upwards and outwards, clearing the Gallbladder channel in the process. Bitter cold Chinese skullcap root descends Yang from the Upper Burner, to where it can reintegrate with the Lower Burner to generate Qi. Chinese red ginseng root and rhizome, Red jujube fruit and Chinese licorice root and rhizome address any Qi deficiency that has occurred following the failure of Yang and Yin to merge. Licorice cured Pinellia rhizome transforms any Phlegm obstructions of the Gallbladder channel and the Triple Burner.
