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 appropriate for patterns where the Qi and Yang fluids are deficient or when the Yin fluid deficiency is due to the inability of the Spleen and Lungs to transport and\u003cbr\u003etransform fluids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe percentage of Ginseng specified in the base formula has been distributed between White ginseng root and rhizome and American ginseng root, to moderately reduce the Qi nourishing aspect of the formula and moderately increase the Yin nourishing and Heat clearing aspects of the formula, more appropriate for modern time.

White Asian ginseng root and rhizome strongly tonifies the primal Qi, strengthens the Spleen, tonifies the Stomach, tonifies the Lungs, and generates fluids. American ginseng root benefits the Qi, generates fluids, nourishes the Yin, nurtures Lung Yin and cools Fire from Yin deficiency. Poria tonifies the Spleen, harmonizes the Middle Burner, leaches out Dampness, supports healthy urination and quiets the Heart. Schisandra fruit grasps the Qi, tonifies the Kidneys, generates fluids, nourishes the Liver and quiets the Spirit (Shen).

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.

When the gentle tendrils of a person’s being have become withered, their movement and sensations tend to be brittle, rough, shaky or unstable. When the quiescent powers of life are impaired, there can be a loss of control over the dynamic manifestations of heat and activity.

The feeling of rootlessness, a special indication for \u003cstrong\u003eQuiet Contemplative\u003c\/strong\u003e, is one of being surrounded by earth without the inner calm or residual strength to connect to these surroundings and become firm. The inability to sit still and be content, or feeling shaky or jumpy within oneself in various situations, also suggests its use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a spiritual level, this formula is indicated when one cannot find constancy in faith, or is unable to surrender because of uneasiness or changing beliefs. “Searching, but never arriving” can be a common dilemma for this pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough there are many situations that indicate \u003cstrong\u003eQuiet Contemplative\u003c\/strong\u003e, the criteria for its use, as with any preparation, is never isolated from the overall configuration of the person.

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.

Other scholars chose slightly different names, but Dr. Qin’s name was adopted in the \u003cem\u003eGolden Mirror \u003c\/em\u003ein 1742 A.D. and is the most commonly used name in China today.

The  “Six Flavor Rehmannia” formula, which is the basis of the pill, was developed by Qian Yi in his \u003cem\u003eFormulary of Patterns\u003c\/em\u003e, in 1114 A.D. This formula is actually a modification of Zhang Zhong-Jing’s famous Han Dynasty “Golden Chest Kidney Qi Pill,” which is described in the \u003cstrong\u003eQuiet \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContemplative \u003c\/strong\u003eformula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemper Fire \u003c\/strong\u003ehas another historical antecedent.

The Lungs govern the upper limits of Qi, keeping the bodily energy intact by condensing, consolidating and regrouping the Qi when it becomes scattered or its boundaries ill-defined. As they are concerned with moment-to-moment inhalation and exhalation, the Lungs relate to the give and take of ordinary human activity.
