To warm and tonify the Yang of kidneys, to prevent premature aging.  

Indications  

Lumbago with weakness of legs, sensation of cold in the lower body, spasm of hypogastrium, frequency or difficult urination, dizziness with blurred vision, impotence, premature ejaculation, Yi-Jing (escape of sperm; spermatorrhea which may or may not be associated with dreams), shortness of breath (Duan Qi), deafness, spontaneous perspiration, weakening of the Xin-Shen (heart-spirit), premature aging.  

Clinical Notes  

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Yang corresponds symbolically to fire. In the body, Yang refers to the bodyís heat source, which is responsible for the intensity of internal fluctuations. When the body temperature diminishes, the vital functions slow down. The Chinese call this "vital heat" or "the fire of life". The western notion of "basic metabolic rate" that is, the quantity of heat produced per hour and per square meter of body surface, while resting and on an empty stomach is essentially comparable to the effect of Yang as described by the Chinese.  

In the body, Yang is represented by the actions of heating, transforming, transporting, retaining, and protecting. In the case of Yang Xu these actions will be compromised depending on the severity of the condition.  

In general, Yang deficiency reduces the vigor of vital energy (Qi), leading to a loss of strength and a feeling of fatigue.  

Ingredients  

Chuan Bei Mu:Dang Shen, Bu Gu Zhi, Tu Si Zi, Wu Wei Zi.  

Jie Geng:Gou Qi Zi, Huang Qi, Xu Duan, Rou Cong Rong.  

Analysis of the Formula  

The formula contains over 10 herbs which are extremely complicated in their interactions. It is beyond the scope of this information sheet to detail the exact interaction of these ingredients. The main ingredients, however, are listed above. Chuan Bei Mu is classified under herbs that cool and transform hot phlegm. It has the properties of being bitter and cold, and it is noted for entering the Lung, Triple Burner, Stomach, and Liver channels. Jie Geng is listed in the category of warm herbs that transform cold phlegm. It is bitter, acrid, and neutral, and it enters the Lung and Stomach channels. In combination, Bei Mu and Jie Geng have a distinct effect different from their traditional use. In combination they have a direct effect on the states of extreme depletion called "Xu Xun" and "Xu Lao". Together, Bei Mu and Jie Geng are noted for decreasing any build-up of phlegm due to a Yang Xu condition and their ability to assist the lungs, decrease blood sugar, and lipids.  

In total, the combination of the ingredients results in the conservation of the "fire of life" which is the Yang part of our stock of vitality.  

Use  

In most Yang Xu conditions, there should be noticeable effect in two weeks. If no changes have occurred in two weeks and the case is definitely one of Yang Xu, the number of bags should be increased to two per day and in extreme cases up to three per day.
