For example, Tao Hong-Jing’s \u003cem\u003eCollection of Commentaries on the Classic of the Materia Medica \u003c\/em\u003e(\u003cem\u003eBen-cao Jing Ji-zhu\u003c\/em\u003e, 500 A.D.) says Cinnamon twig can “warm the meridians, penetrate the vessels and benefit the joints.” It is acrid, sweet and warm, and, in this formula, enters the Liver, Heart and Lung meridians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlack jujube fruit \u003c\/strong\u003eis said to adjust Qi, especially Nutritive \u003cem\u003eYing \u003c\/em\u003eQi and Protective \u003cem\u003eWei \u003c\/em\u003eQi.

These organs work in concert: the Spleen goes upwards and retains, and the Stomach descends and eliminates. When this shifting and transforming process loses its sense of proportion and balance, it is said to lose its harmony. When this shifting and transforming process becomes dramatically chaotic, confused or paralyzed, the Earth loses any ability to provide nourishment and clarity and instead becomes a source of radical turbulence and unrest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne Mind \u003c\/strong\u003eis not for a simple Earth disharmony, but rather addresses a radical disorientation of Yin and Yang where extreme disharmony exists in more than one direction: the person is both too Hot and too Cold, excessive and deficient. The formula addresses the knots, blockages, obtunded sensations and chaotic processes that occur when the Spleen and Stomach become contorted and are pulled in seemingly multiple different directions. On the physical level, this chaotic ascending\/descending process is intimately linked to the process of digestion and means that food becomes a burden and a source of discomfort rather than the basis for nourishment. On the psychological level, this chaotic disruption of the Spleen-Stomach’s balance of retention and letting go affects the Spirit dimension of the Spleen, which is known as the “Consciousness of Potentials” (\u003cem\u003eYi \u003c\/em\u003eor “Heart Mind”). In this situation, the Spleen-Stomach is unable to undergo a normal process of consideration, deliberation and decision on what is likely, possible or conceivable. Instead of creative potential and clear intentions, a person feels split and cannot make up their mind. He or she is confused or literally feels torn between options: absolutely opposing ideas or possibilities are both attractive and revolting. \u003cstrong\u003eOne Mind \u003c\/strong\u003eis our version of a Han Dynasty formula that combines contradictory herbs to “shake-up” and re-organize a tangled and befuddled Spleen-Stomach.

The Spleen-Stomach has Damp-Heat and Deficiency-Cold at the same time. Digestion is disrupted. Is it because of Heat or Cold? Is it because the Spleen-Stomach is too weak to receive? Too Cold to transform? Too Damp to let go, or just too Hot and overactive? \u003cstrong\u003eOne Mind \u003c\/strong\u003eis for the situation when all or almost all of these disharmonies are happening simultaneously and the Yin-Yang valence of the Earth reaches pandemonium. The original pattern complex of the formula describes feeling distention, fullness, knottedness or tightness in the center of the chest (what the original formula calls the ‘Heart’ or ‘Epigastrium’). There is a “clumping” sensation and a sense of no room in the digestive system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePSYCHOLOGICAL AND TRANSFORMATIONAL INDICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne Mind \u003c\/strong\u003eis an ideal formula for a person who is caught in contradictory options that are both appealing and loathsome at the same time. The formula addresses a person who is unable to distinguish the Clear Yang from the Turbid Yin in their life. Mutually contrary options both allure and repel. The process of shifting – what should be held on to and what should be disavowed – becomes chaotic. Any single path, option or decision is both appealing and repulsive. A person feels a clump in their chest and cleavage in their Consciousness of Potentials \u003cem\u003e(Yi) \u003c\/em\u003e– or alternatively translated Heart Mind. Instead of a clear Consciousness of Potentials a person becomes a bundle of knotted and impossible preferences that only cause discomfort and confusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe psychological understanding of \u003cstrong\u003eOne Mind \u003c\/strong\u003ebegins with Sun Si-miao’s commentaries in \u003cem\u003eSupplemental Wings to the Thousand Ducat Formulas \u003c\/em\u003e(\u003cem\u003eQian-jin Yi-fang\u003c\/em\u003e, 682 A.D.). In this book, the greatest scholar of the Tang Dynasty claims that the ingredients of this formula are ideally suited to help a person “overcome their own self.” \u003cstrong\u003eOne Mind \u003c\/strong\u003eis for a person that can no longer creatively transmute life’s options and is deeply stuck or torn between options. For example, the conflict generated within a person when they are deciding whether to remain with or leave either a partner, a work situation or a stable life environment for a new situation or opportunity often gives rise to such a pattern. Both directions can seem absolutely valuable and attractive, and at the same time, awful and impossible. This formula opens and clears the “Heart Mind” so that a person can separate the valuable supportive, nourishing Yang elements in their life from the turbid obstructive Yin aspects, or at least decide and then live comfortably with whatever option is chosen. \u003cstrong\u003eOne Mind \u003c\/strong\u003eallows for focus and a meditative center of gravity, fosters decisive and warm movement, transforms cloudy Dampness and cools chaotic and exaggerated activity. It gives a person space to clarify and begin to unify their consciousness. It allows options to be considered deliberately and not reacted to as if each were both necessary and impossible. This formula lets a person contemplate and then deliberately absorb their choice comfortably. It does not short circuit any process – it makes the Earth’s and Spleen-Stomach’s process of absorbing and discarding more comfortable, orderly and deliberate. \u003cstrong\u003eOne Mind \u003c\/strong\u003eultimately allows a person to move forward towards a healthy give-and-take exchange with themselves, their close relationships, their community and their work situation. Ultimately, \u003cstrong\u003eOne Mind \u003c\/strong\u003eallows for a unified self-awareness and self-relationship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of the complex mixture of Hot-Cold and Excess-Deficiency that \u003cstrong\u003eOne Mind \u003c\/strong\u003eaddresses, the signs and patterns of the person can vary tremendously. Not being able to see the exact pattern can be a sign for the use of this formula. Not infrequently, this formula is valuable when a person has had a previous tendency towards one type of disharmony and another entirely different disharmony is superimposed. For psychological or actual emotional conflict – being caught between possibilities that are equally attractive and repulsive – is itself enough of an indication. Practitioners should note that it is not necessary for the physical and psychological patterns to both exist in a person before this formula is suitable. In fact, it is not common for both dimensions to exist simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne Mind \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e(Ban Xia Xie Xin Tang) \u003c\/em\u003eis based on Zhang Zhong-Jing’s “Pinellia Decoction to Drain the Epigastrium (Heart),” which was first recorded in \u003cem\u003eDiscussion of Cold-induced Disharmonies \u003c\/em\u003e(\u003cem\u003eShang-han lun\u003c\/em\u003e, 220 A.D.).

Taking this ancient and this modern version together as bookends we have created our own \u003cstrong\u003eSteady Centeredness \u003c\/strong\u003eapproach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABOUT THE HERBS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGastrodia rhizome \u003c\/strong\u003eis the central herb for this formula and traditionally astringes turbulence in the Liver meridian. It is a critical herb for all types of stagnation, and especially for disturbances that are focused in the head. Since at least the \u003cem\u003eMateria Medica of Ri Hua-zi (Ri Hua Zi Ben Cao\u003c\/em\u003e, 713 A.D.), Gastrodia rhizome has been considered both a calming herb and a mild tonic, and therefore is considered suitable in both excess and deficient patterns. Because Gastrodia rhizome’s Hot- Cold valence may be neutral to warm, it is also suitable for both Hot and Cold patterns of the Liver. Classical texts, including the \u003cem\u003eDivine Husbandman’s Materia Medica\u003c\/em\u003e, state that Gastrodia is a warm herb. Because more modern texts cannot understand how a warm-astringing herb is so effective for Liver meridian disharmonies, there is a drifting editorial tendency to say that Gastrodia is neutral or cool. Despite these modern distortions, Gastrodia has generally been considered a warm and astringent herb. All texts, both classical and modern, describe it as entering the Liver meridian.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEucommia bark \u003c\/strong\u003eis the second critical herb in the formula. While Gastrodia rhizome astringes the upward and expansive aspect of the Liver, Eucommia bark astringes the root of the Kidney and guides the Liver excess back to its original root. While often described as a tonifying Yang herb, Eucommia bark is actually a non-moving and stabilizing herb that astringes, holds and anchors a person into the Kidney’s stillness. It strengthens the Kidney not so much by nourishing the Yin or Yang, but by providing a container or “pillar” (as its name means in English) to increase steadiness, patience and natural flexibility. The \u003cem\u003eDivine Husbandman’s Materia Medica \u003c\/em\u003espeaks of Eucommia as “strengthening the Will.” Eucommia bark is also an important herb for the Liver meridian, and Li Shi-zhen’s \u003cem\u003eGreat Pharmacopoeia \u003c\/em\u003e(\u003cem\u003eBen Cao Gang Mu\u003c\/em\u003e, 1578 A.D.) says that Eucommia moistens the Liver’s Dryness and restlessness.

A moistening herb, it has versatility that many drying and expelling Wind herbs lack and is useful for Hot and Cold patterns and dispels internal Wind. Some modern texts indicate that Siler root is contraindicated in deficient Yin or Blood. Historically, this contraindication does not apply to the type of formulation we are using here. It is slightly warm, and enters the Liver and Gallbladder meridians.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChinese skullcap root \u003c\/strong\u003eclears Heat and quells Fire in the Upper Burner and gives \u003cstrong\u003eSteady \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCenteredness \u003c\/strong\u003ethe flexibility to address both warm patterns and patterns that clearly have both Hot and Cold aspects.

End Discharge Decoction (Wan Dai Tang) is beneficial for tonifying the Middle Burner, strengthening the Spleen and transforming Dampness. Decoction to Separate the Clear (Bei Xie Fen Qing) clears Heat, resolves Dampness and separates the “clear from the turbid”.  By combining these two classical formulas, Clear the Lower Palace dispels and transforms Dampness lodged in the Lower Burner while strengthening the Spleen, and addresses both deficiency and excess patterns simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Girdle Vessel is a unique Extraordinary channel, in that it is the only channel that courses horizontally through the body, running through the abdomen and traversing all major and Extraordinary meridians, which are all oriented vertically. The Girdle Vessel also has a close relationship with the Spleen, Kidney and Liver meridians, and various patterns may develop when it becomes excessive or deficient, such as Spleen Qi deficiency or Liver Qi stagnation. If Spleen is weakened, stagnant fluids develop and become turbid and heavy.

External or internal Cold can accumulate near these vessels in the lower abdomen, causing contraction and blockage of the vessels, leading to Qi and Blood stagnation, a common contribution to menstrual irregularities, such as early or late menstruation, extended flow length or occasional spotting between menstruation, and may be accompanied with occasional sensations of cold in the lower abdomen or menstrual discomfort that is improved with warmth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeeping feet and legs warm, avoiding sitting on cold surfaces, avoiding wearing shorts in cold weather, especially while exercising, and avoiding submerging the lower abdomen in cold bodies of water are important practices that help decrease the potential for Cold to become lodged in the vessels.

Eating, feeding, being fed and all of the concomitant sensations of sound, touch, smell, warmth and closeness quickly merge with the internal urges of appetite, the enjoyment of satiety and the innately pleasurable process of ingestion, digestion, assimilation and elimination. The earliest gustatory encounters are deeply imprinted not only as patterns within the neuronal networks of the central nervous system, but as rhythmic, sequential habits of the entire digestive tract. Recent research has revealed that the gut has incorporated, within itself, a distinct nervous system linked with, but also functioning independently of, the brain. “Gut feelings”, while difficult to disregard due to their intensity and intimacy, have now been authenticated by neurophysiologists: a person is endowed with multiple faculties for perceiving, interpreting and heeding the innate intelligence of the body.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWithin the Chinese traditional view, the gut, under the governance of the Stomach and Spleen, is the center − the organizational nexus − of bodily life and social relations. The traditional Chinese greeting, “Ni hao ma? (pronounced nee how maah),” translates literally as “Have you eaten yet today?” The partaking of food, the rituals and procedures surrounding all aspects of its cultivation, preparation and consumption have, until the invention of “fast food”, commanded major attention and effort. The industrialization of food production, along with the mechanization and acceleration of cooking and eating, have profoundly altered our way of eating. An authentic center − the identifiable and distinct locus of orientation and poise − is embodied in the Organ Network of the Spleen, which inhabits the anatomical and functional center of the body. As is commonly assumed, but rarely acknowledged, good feeling toward oneself and others, as well as a sense of optimism, lucidity and exuberance, are largely dependent upon \u003c\/span\u003egood digestion, with its consequent feelings of hardiness, contentment and conviviality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv title=\"Page 73\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe source of occasional poor digestion lies in the disruption of the Spleen Network: not only is it responsible for the processing of food and nutrients that form the basis of Qi, Moisture and Blood, but it is also the conductor and distributor of these constituents, upward and downward through the abdominal region, and outwardly to the four limbs. When these essential activities are sometimes impeded by over-consumption of food or weakened by under-nutrition, the vigorous, rhythmic, contractile waves of the gut may become temporarily irregular, leading to occasional gas and retention of undigested food.

Stagnation of Blood and Moisture (body fluids) can produce occasional tenderness and swelling of the breasts and abdomen, low back and sacrum and other discomforts that are commonly and occasionally experienced during the middle of a normal cycle and\/or before menstruation begins.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf the resources of the Kidney are overtaxed, it will not have enough “juice” to support all of the body’s needs, including those of regular menstruation and fertility: when adaptive reserves are overwhelmed or \u003c\/span\u003edepleted, the organism gives precedence to survival over sexuality and reproduction.

Both are creations of the physician Zhang Zhong Jing from the third century. This combination promotes elimination of retained digestate, Heat and Phlegm, while strengthening the Qi and Yang of the Kidney and Spleen. Polyporus sclerotium, Asian water plantain rhizome, Winter melon peel and Ginger rhizome peel mobilize fluids and eliminate Dampness by activating and coordinating the fluid-management function of the Triple Burner with that of the Kidney and Bladder. Poria, dry fried Bitter orange immature fruit, Quisqualis fruit and Gardenia fruit dissipate Phlegm, purge accumulated matter, disperse congested Qi and eliminate Damp Heat. Chinese quince fruit and Job’s tears seed also dispel Dampness and, in alliance with White atractylodes rhizome and Chinese licorice root and rhizome, protect the Spleen and tonify Qi. Evodia fruit invigorates the Yang of both Kidney and Spleen, assisting the Spleen in transforming fluids and the Kidney in eliminating them.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"05-SS-weigh","offers":[{"title":"8 ounces \/ Extract","offer_id":44843263131966,"sku":"WM8","price":89.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/4365\/5742\/products\/Sage_Solutions_Weight_Manager_Extract.png?v=1678147654"},{"product_id":"dong-quai-and-six-yellows-decoction","title":"Dong Quai and Six Yellows Decoction","description":"\u003cdiv title=\"Page 46\" class=\"page\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"layoutArea\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"column\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSubdues Yin deficiency Fire.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"10-KZ-dong","offers":[{"title":"1 ounce \/ Extract","offer_id":44843203723582,"sku":"DYD1","price":14.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"2 ounces \/ Extract","offer_id":61482967597426,"sku":"DYD2","price":27.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 ounces \/ Extract","offer_id":44843203789118,"sku":"DYD4","price":49.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"8 ounces \/ Extract","offer_id":61482967630194,"sku":"DYD8","price":91.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/4365\/5742\/products\/Alembic_Herbals_Dong_Quai_and_Six_Yellows_Decoction_Extract.png?v=1677823970"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0703\/4365\/5742\/collections\/discontinued.png?v=1759265858","url":"https:\/\/kanherb.myshopify.com\/collections\/x-priority-d-products.oembed","provider":"Kan Herb Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
