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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Internal Dampness is often caused by Spleen Qi deficiency and, if more pronounced, Kidney Qi deficiency. If deficient Spleen is unable to properly transform and transport body fluids, they will stagnate and develop into Dampness. The accumulated water will flow into collateral channels causing occasional water retention and a feeling of heaviness. \u003cstrong\u003eWater’s Way\u003c\/strong\u003e strengthens the Spleen, drains Dampness and promotes the transforming functions of Qi, enabling the regulation of water metabolism in all three Burners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpleen Qi deficiency leading to accumulation of Dampness is perhaps the most common disharmony addressed by \u003cstrong\u003eWater’s Way\u003c\/strong\u003e. This causes internal accumulation of water and Dampness that overflows into the muscles and skin to produce occasional water retention and a sensation of heaviness.

Disruption of Bladder Qi leads to occasional water retention, which interferes with the upward transportation and downward elimination of fluids. This is known as “water rebellion” pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThirdly, \u003cstrong\u003eWater’s Way\u003c\/strong\u003e addresses the accumulation of Water in the Lower Burner that is preventing the clear Yang Qi from ascending. When the ascent of clear Yang is obstructed, turbid Yin cannot move downward, which can cause occasional dizziness.

The primary considerations in choosing this formula should be occasional urinary difficulty, occasional water retention and a generalized sensation of heaviness. \u003cstrong\u003eWater’s Way\u003c\/strong\u003e supports healthy urination to decrease this water buildup. It combines herbs to support healthy water metabolism and resolve excess Dampness, with herbs that promote the Qi dynamic to resolve the Exterior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAsian water plantain rhizome, the chief herb in this formula, leaches out Dampness and supports healthy urination.
