Functions: Warms the kidneys and fosters essence

Formula explanation:

Within this formula, Shu Di is the sovereign medicinal which supplements the kidneys, enriches yin, and fosters essence. Its ministers are Shan Yao, Shan Zhu Yu, and Gou Qi Zi which also supplement the kidneys and enrich yin. Shan Yao also supplements the spleen qi, while Shan Zhu Yu also supplements the liver and kidney yang. Du Zhong, Rou Gui, and Zhi Fu Zi are the assistants which supplement the kidneys and invigorate and warm yang. Mix-fried Gan Cao regulates and harmonizes all the other medicinals in the formula as well as assists Shan Yao in supplementing the spleen. Therefore, the ingredients in this formula take into account the interdependence of former and latter heavens and also “seek yang within the midst of yin.” Unlike Jin Gui Shen Qi Wan, this formula does not include any draining medicinals. All its ingredients are supplementing and warming.

Dosage: According to Him-che Yeung in Handbook of Chinese Herbs and Formulas, Vol. 2, the standard daily dose in decoction for this formula is 105 grams. Because of the 10:1 concentration ratio and the efficiency of our manufacturing process it would take only 15 capsules per day of Blue Poppy's version of this formula to equal the standard daily dose. The actual prescribed dose should be determined by the practitioner on a case by case basis.
