Source: Jǐng Yuè Quán Shū 景岳全书

Ingredients:

Action: Warms kidney yáng; supplements essence blood.

Indication: Indications as for youguiwan.

Category: Supplementing formulas / Yáng-supplementing formula

Method: ???

Rationale: Shú dì huáng, Shān zhū yú, and Shān yào supplement the three yīn, while Fù zǐ and Ròu guì supplement kidney yáng. This formula is similar therefore similar to Shèn qì wán (肾气丸 Kidney Qì Pill). However, while the latter address kidney yáng vacuity with turbid yīn, using Zé xiè and Fú líng to disinhibit turbid water, the present formula treats yáng vacuity without water turbidity. For this reason, the water-disinhibiting agents are not needed, and instead Dù zhòng and Gǒu qǐ zǐ are used to strengthen the sinew and bone and nourish liver blood. Zhì gān cǎo helps the Shān yào to supplement the center and nourish the spleen.

Similar: Yòu guī wán (右归丸 Right-Restoring [Life Gate] Pill)
