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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Therefore, Wei Zhi-wei created “Linking Decoction” which is the basis of \u003cstrong\u003eGracious Power \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e(Yi Guan Jian)\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGracious Power \u003c\/strong\u003ehas made a few modifications in “Linking Decoction.” Most importantly, we have borrowed three ingredients – dry fried Sour jujube seed, Anemarrhena rhizome and Sichuan lovage rhizome from “Sour Jujube Decoction” \u003cem\u003e(Suan Zao Ren Tang)\u003c\/em\u003e, which is derived from the \u003cem\u003eEssential Formulas of the Golden Chest \u003c\/em\u003e(\u003cem\u003eJing-gui Yao-lue\u003c\/em\u003e, 220 A.D.). This formula was designed by Zhang Zhong-Jing as a Liver-Heart meridian formula for occasional irritability, anxiety and insomnia. The addition of dry fried Sour jujube seed helps nourish the Liver and Heart Blood. The combination of Anemarrhena rhizome and Sichuan lovage rhizome dynamically combines an astringent, Fire-cooling herb with a Liver Qi-opening herb.

This is why it is so important to preserve and protect the fragile integrity of a child’s stomach and intestines during the first year of life and until age seven or eight, at which time the permanent teeth appear, marking, according to the \u003cem\u003eNei Jing\u003c\/em\u003e, the completion of the first stage of the life cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Chinese Herbology, the early life of the child is dominated by the activity of the Middle Burner: the Qi of the Spleen and Stomach.

Both the Penetrating and Conception vessels originate in the lower abdomen, near the uterus. The Penetrating vessel is called the “sea of Blood” and the Conception vessel is said to “Dominate the uterus”. External or internal Cold can accumulate near these vessels in the lower abdomen, causing contraction and blockage of the vessels, leading to Qi and Blood stagnation, a common contribution to menstrual irregularities, such as early or late menstruation, extended flow length or occasional spotting between menstruation, and may be accompanied with occasional sensations of cold in the lower abdomen or menstrual discomfort that is improved with warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeeping feet and legs warm, avoiding sitting on cold surfaces, avoiding wearing shorts in cold weather, especially while exercising, and avoiding submerging the lower abdomen in cold bodies of water are important practices that help decrease the potential for Cold to become lodged in the vessels. The chance of Cold stagnating in the vessels greatly increases if the previously mentioned circumstances occur while menstruating. Cold lodging in the Lower Jiao is not limited to women, but is a more typical pattern for women due to regular monthly blood loss. Although this is primarily a Cold-based pattern, it is possible to have Heat in the palms and soles of the feet, a feeling of heat in the evening and occasional flushing upward of Heat.
