{"product_id":"wise-judge","title":"Wise Judge","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Metal element rules the Lung. The Lung receives heavenly energy and sends it downward and throughout the body. For this, it is important that the Lungs have a moist, strong texture and that the breath be even and regular. \u003cstrong\u003eWise Judge \u003c\/strong\u003ehelps the breath flow from the heavens, to infuse us with life from moment to moment. The classics say that the Metal element both obeys and changes, and our \u003cstrong\u003eWise Judge \u003c\/strong\u003eallows for both this constancy and softness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chinese say a “sea of Qi” gathers in the chest. This energy reservoir regulates rhythmic movement, especially the constant life motions of respiration and heartbeat. \u003cstrong\u003eWise Judge \u003c\/strong\u003eis an important preparation commonly used by Chinese people when they want to “kick back,” taking it as a mild, replenishing tonic to counter the wear and tear of a busy life. It is especially designed for the Yin and Qi of the Lungs. 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. In China this is a popular tonic, reflecting their cultural belief that when one expends energy with an intense self- directed pace, a mild tonic is needed to let the cool, refreshing, gentle movements of heaven recharge one’s being.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePHYSICAL INDICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWise Judge \u003c\/strong\u003eprimarily moistens the Lungs, and is very thirst-quenching.

It also relieves the burn-out that comes from the hassles of ordinary activity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a deeper level, this formula is used for the sense of grief that makes one withdraw from the world and experience existence as weary, pointless and too difficult. Such bereavement can apply to many areas of life, and Wise Judge can help the Metal element become remolded into a new shape, allowing for a healing transformation. Accumulated grief that has hardened and needs to be released can also be facilitated by this herbal combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a spiritual level, \u003cstrong\u003eWise Judge \u003c\/strong\u003ecan help one confront the give-and-take that underlies the cosmos, and thereby move more easily in the world.
