This lack of strength and cohesiveness is recognized by weakness and disintegration affecting all aspects of a person’s life. In classical Chinese literature the formula is rarely described (at least until modern times) on a purely physical level. Dr. Xue Ji, in his \u003cem\u003eAnnotations on Good Formulas for Women \u003c\/em\u003e(volume 24, section 4, 1509 A.D.), lists some of the patterns that \u003cstrong\u003eGather Vitality \u003c\/strong\u003eis used for: occasional insomnia (due to the Heart Blood’s inability to embrace the Spirit), occasional weariness, lethargy or apathy (the Spleen Qi’s inability to arouse), occasional mild heart palpitations (the Heart Blood’s inability to nourish the Heart), limbs that are occasionally tired or achy, occasional general fatigue (the Spleen’s inability to properly rule the muscles), irregular stools (the Spleen’s inability to regulate food), occasional menstrual disharmony (the Blood and Qi’s inability to regulate the menses), occasional “reckless Blood” (the Spleen Qi’s inability to govern the Blood), and occasional digestive disharmonies (Spleen Qi deficiency).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSleep imbalances are probably most frequently mentioned in subsequent literature and include occasional insomnia, interrupted sleep and constant drowsiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGather Vitality \u003c\/strong\u003eis also mentioned as being helpful for occasional speech difficulty that involve nervousness, hesitancy, stammering (Blood deficiency) or when there is lack of power behind words (Qi deficiency).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePSYCHOLOGICAL AND TRANSFORMATIONAL INDICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe instability and psychic unravelling for which this formula is designed is easily recognizable on the mental-cognitive, emotional, behavioral and spiritual levels.

A person is distracted, ruminates and has difficulty in concentration. Excessive thought can occasionally produce mental stagnation, worry, cautiousness or confusion. When the Heart Blood is depleted, thought can be self-deprecating, absent-minded, devoid of self-worth, apprehensive and frequently equating possibility with probability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn an emotional level, one can find this formula useful for feelings of depersonalization, fear of being out of control and fear of committing embarrassing or humiliating actions. \u003cstrong\u003eGather \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVitality \u003c\/strong\u003ecan also be very helpful for a person who feels powerless, hopeless, and has low self-esteem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause \u003cstrong\u003eGather Vitality \u003c\/strong\u003eaddresses both Qi and Blood, helpless behavior on the one hand and restless behavior on the other are addressed and healthy states of mind are supported.

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.

People develop patterns of disharmony that reflect their constitutional dynamic. When conflicts ensue, Warmth may turn to Heat, leading to Dryness and deficiency in the Upper Burner, and Moisture may accumulate, leading to Dampness and obstruction in the Lower Burner. Harmonizing Formulas reconcile such primary conflicts arising along the Ke sequence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kidney and Heart represent the Yin-Yang axis of the organism: the polarity between Water and Fire, lower and upper, Essence (\u003cem\u003eJing\u003c\/em\u003e or soma) and Mind (\u003cem\u003eShen\u003c\/em\u003e or psyche).

The Heart maintains the integrity of our embodied consciousness: the Heart governs the Blood, and the Blood is the material substrate of the mind, so when the Blood flows unimpeded, we are vibrant and alive, composed and present in the world.
