Long-term Yin deficiency will eventually lead to Liver Heat, at which point the Yang will rise, at times quite vividly, with sensations of heat or excess energy rushing upward. An individual with this pattern will manifest a high concentration of physical indications in the upper body and head; descriptive drawings of this pattern often show a person who is literally “blowing their top”. Compounding the situation, when the Liver Yang rises upward, it is unable to store its resources in the form of Blood. This leads to symptoms of Blood deficiency and deeper Yin deficiency, creating a cycle which further exacerbates the Yang rising. Pent-up emotions, Qi constraint, constitutional Yang excess, aging, overwork, extreme stress, anger or poor diet all can cause the Liver Yang to ascend uncontrolled, transforming into Liver Internal Wind.

As the name implies, the primary goal of the formula is to calm the Shen. It accomplishes this by transforming Phlegm that is misting the Heart, tonifying Blood and Yin, and regulating the Qi. When Blood is deficient, it is unable to nourish the Heart, and therefore cannot properly house the Shen, causing restlessness. When Yin is deficient, it can engender upward flaring Fire, disturbing the Shen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Shen houses the Heart Mind and the Spirit, and a healthy Shen supports clear mental faculties and focus.

When Spirit becomes disturbed, agitated or restless, sleep is easily disrupted, resulting in a racing mind that cannot settle, occasional insomnia and dream-disturbed sleep.

It gently nourishes the Qi to support the Spleen’s ability to augment the Blood and transform Phlegm.

Polygonum multiflorum stem nourishes the Heart and Blood and is especially relevant for patterns of Yin or Blood deficiency accompanied with occasional insomnia and irritability. It also dispels Wind and unblocks the channels. Red jujube fruit tonifies the Spleen Qi, reducing irritability and emotional liability, and nourishes the Blood. Biota seed tonifies Heart Yin and Blood. Schisandra fruit helps to astringe leakage of Essence, calms and contains Heart Qi, and tonifies Kidneys.
