Explanation

This is a formula containing Lung-Qi and Spleen-Qi tonics such as Huang Qi to strengthen the Defensive-Qi and consolidate the Exterior.

  • There are Lung-Yin and Stomach-Yin nourishing herbs such as Wu Wei Zi, Mai Men Dong, Bei Sha Shen, Bai He, Yu Zhu.
  • Zhi Mu was added to clear any Empty-Heat that there might be; it also nourishes Yin.
  • Fu Ling is added to counteract any Dampness generated by the Yin-nourishing herbs.

Like the Herbal Sentinel – Yang™, this formula is designed to tonify Zheng Qi and strengthen the immune system. The present formula is for people with a deficiency of Yin and Qi of the Lungs, Spleen and Kidneys.

However, the formula is meant to be used as a preventive against invasion of external Wind. Thus it can also be used for those who do not have pronounced patterns of Yin deficiency of the above organs but simply a tendency or a constitutional propensity towards such deficiency. Provided the tongue lack a coating or has a rootless coating and the person has some slight symptoms of Yin deficiency, the formula is applicable.

Herbal Sentinel – Yin™ can also be used as a general protector of the immune system. In this case, its dosage should be increased during autumn and winter and decreased during spring and summer.

When to take
Take a higher dose in the evening.
