All the possibilities of birth, development and maturation are contained within its domain. They “enable the ten thousand things to accomplish their beginning and end in a perfect way” (Chen Chun, 1159-1223 A.D.). In their root, “all form and phenomena are hidden and stored” (Chu Xi, 1130-1200 A.D.). The Kidneys rule “hibernation” (\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSu Wen\u003c\/em\u003e, chapter 9), “store the Essence \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e(Jing)\u003c\/em\u003e” (chapter 4) and “rule Water” (chapter 1).

According to China’s earliest dictionary, \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShuo wen jiezi \u003c\/em\u003e(c. 100 A.D.), the original character for Will \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e(Zhi) \u003c\/em\u003ereferred to an unfolding sprout containing all the potential for future activities and events. The basis for this potential is the Kidney’s primordial Essence \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e(Jing)\u003c\/em\u003e, wherein lies the “prenatal Yin and Yang” (Li Zhong-Zi, 1637 A.D.). One of the most common patterns of disharmony is for the Yin aspect of this polarity to be diminished and weakened, thereby causing the Yang aspect to lose its grounding and become an ungovernable Fire (deficient Fire – \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eXu huo\u003c\/em\u003e). The quietude, responsiveness, gentle unfoldment and reflective potential of life (its Yin qualities) then become shaken, agitated and unsettled. 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.

When the Kidney Essence declines, menstrual fluids and Kidney Qi also decline. The Penetrating (Chong Mai) and Conception (Ren Mai) vessels lose their substance, causing the menses to become erratic and to finally cease. Due to a combination of deficiency of both the Kidney Yin and Yang and the flaring up of Fire from deficiency, a complicated pattern of disharmony can result. There may be hot and cold sweats, flushing, emotional instability and an alternating mix of deficiency and excess as part of the overall pattern. This thermo-regulation dysfunction, whereby sweating and the sensation of heat is intermixed with periods of cold intolerance, stems from the decline of both Yin and Yang simultaneously. Waning of Kidney Yin can cause a flaring-up of Empty Fire, leading to a broad range of mental-emotional states, including occasional anxiety, insomnia and depression.
