Differences from Classical Antecedent
Stronger action in nourishing Yin, stronger action in calming the Spirit.
Explanation
Nourish the Soul™ is a variation of Suan Zao Ren Tang with a greater emphasis on nourishing Yin and clearing Empty Heat. It nourishes Yin of Liver, Kidneys and Heart. When Liver-Yin is deficient, the Hun is not anchored in the Liver and it therefore “moves” too much.
Gou Teng and Ye Jiao Teng are included to subdue the Liver so as to “absorb” the Hun back into the Liver.
When to take
It is preferable to take this formula in the afternoon/evening.
