The most fundamental Qi in human life is the Original Qi (Yuan Qi). Li Dong-Yuan (also known as Li Guo, 1180-1252 A.D.), in the discussion that introduces the original version of Arouse Vigor, points out that a person’s capacity and desire to engage in activity, to transform to a new state of being, to adapt in relationship to the environment and to be imbued with feelings are all dependent on this Original Qi (Discussion of the Spleen and Stomach, section 2, 1249 A.D.). The Original Qi activates, maintains and gives intention to the entire personality. To nourish this generative source of so many dimensions of human life, Li Dong-Yuan created “Benefit the Middle and Boost the Qi” (Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original name for Arouse Vigor, “Benefit the Middle and Boost the Qi,” refers to the “Middle” and the “Qi.” The famous Ming Dynasty scholar, Wu Kun, commenting on this name said, “The Middle is the Spleen, the feminine, the mother of the ten thousand phenomena. Qi is the Yang, the masculine, the father of the ten thousand phenomena...” (Verified Medical Prescriptions, section 20, 1584 A.D.).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLi Dong-Yuan is renowned for emphasizing the central role of Spleen-Stomach Qi. In his dramatic style he states: “All five solid organs (Wu Zang) belong to the Stomach and all disharmony comes from its deficiency.” This Spleen-Stomach Qi, he says, is identical to the “Original Qi” and “is the pivot of the ascent and descent of the Yang and Yin.” The Original Qi facilitates “the clear Yang Qi’s ascent . . . the turbid Qi’s descent and regulates the nine orifices” (the two eyes, two ears, two nasal passages, mouth, anus and urethra). No human activity, behavior, sensation or thought is separate from Qi’s vigor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePHYSICAL INDICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the Original Qi is so central to life, its disruption can generate a myriad of patterns.

Designed to restore equilibrium between the Liver and Spleen, the Constructive (Ying) and Defensive (Wei) Qi, its mastery lies in the elegant combination of antagonistic yet harmonious ingredients: warm and cool, sour and sweet, bitter, pungent and supplementing.

Chinese licorice root and rhizome tonifies Spleen Qi. White peony root nourishes the Blood and preserves Yin while soothing the Liver by calming rising Liver Yang.

Qi and Blood circulate and distribute within the body through small pathways called the collaterals. These collaterals are the branches of the larger channels and form a network system that strengthens the links between paired channels. When the flow of Blood and Qi stagnate within the collaterals, blockage is created that further impedes the circulation of Blood, giving rise to\u003cbr\u003estagnation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInvigorate the Collaterals\u003c\/strong\u003e is designed for these blockage patterns (Bi Zheng) with accompanying Blood stasis leading to accumulations.

With Chinese salvia root and rhizome and Myrrh resin, it addresses stagnation due to Blood stasis in the extremities. Chinese salvia root and rhizome invigorates and tonifies the Blood, clears Heat, cools the Blood and reduces stagnation. Frankincense resin and Myrrh resin are commonly paired to break up Blood stasis, moving stagnation due to sudden events or congealed Blood and removing obstructions from the channels. Two herbs have been added to enhance the Blood moving properties of the formula. Achyranthes root, a classical modification, further invigorates the channels and dispels Blood stasis.

The Kidney is a manifestation of the Water element and ultimate Yin; the Heart of the Fire element and Yang: they each nurture and check each other. Water and Fire are opposite in nature, but necessary for the promotion and manifestation of life and consciousness. 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. Loss of equilibrium of these polarities leads to loss of peace and a squandering of vital essences. The Kidney stores the \u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eZhi\u003c\/em\u003e, or life-will, the force that propels us through our existence without wavering from our unique path.

This Nutritive Qi travels as refined Essence upward to the Lungs, combining with air to form Gathering Qi, and also to the Heart to form Blood. When the production of Qi and Blood is healthy, it supports good digestion and appetite, sustained energy and normal bowel movements. When this process is impaired, the Spleen fails to distribute Nutritive Qi to the body and turbid Yin accumulates without being eliminated. Dampness ensues, leading to digestive disharmonies, including occasional abdominal distention, occasional loss of appetite and occasional nausea and vomiting. This Dampness can also congeal into Phlegm and collect in the Lungs, causing stagnation in the chest. \u003cstrong\u003eSix Gentlemen\u003c\/strong\u003e strengthens the Spleen, Stomach and Lungs and transforms Phlegm Dampness so that it cannot obstruct the Middle Burner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCodonopsis root, the chief herb in this formula, tonifies the Spleen, strengthens the Middle Burner, augments the Qi and tonifies Lungs.

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 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.
