Stagnation of Cold in the Uterus, stasis of Blood, Blood deficiency, Kidney-Yang deficiency.

Expel Cold, warm the Uterus, invigorate Blood, eliminate stasis, nourish Blood, tonify and warm Kidney-Yang.

Tongue: Pale, wet.
Pulse: Deep, tight, slow.

Wen Jing Tang

Tonify Kidney-Yang, invigorate Blood.

This formula is a variation of the prescription Wen ling Tang (Warming the Menses Decoction). It is important to understand although Weng ling Tang is for Full-Cold in the Uterus, the modification to Warm the Menses™ means that it can also be used for Empty-Cold in the Uterus. In both cases, Cold obstructs the Uterus which stores Blood, and leads to stasis of Blood. As the Uterus stores Blood, when Cold obstructs the Uterus, Blood also stagnates in the vessels and newly generated Blood cannot enter its storage place; this leads to Blood deficiency. When Blood is deficient for a long time it may lead to slight Empty-Heat.

• Wu Zhu Yu, Gui Zhi and Rou Gui expel Cold and warm the Uterus
• Dang Gui, Chuan Xiong and Bai Shao nourish and invigorate Blood. This is necessary because, as explained above, the obstruction of Cold and stasis of Blood in the Uterus prevent newly generated Blood from being stored
• Dang Shen and Zhi Gan Cao tonify Qi to help to nourish Blood
• Kai Men Dong helps to nourish Blood and Yin
• Shu Di Huang nourishes Blood and tonifies the Kidneys
• Mu Dan Pi clears any Empty-Heat that might derive from deficient Blood
• Fa Ban Xia harmonizes the Stomach channel and makes Stomach-Qi descend. The role of Fa Ban Xia in this formula is comparable to using ST-30 Qichong to affect the Penetrating Vessel™ which actually emerges to the surface at this point. Harmonizing the Stomach channel will also harmonize the Penetrating Vessel™ and subdue its rebellious Qi; this is the role of Fa Ban Xia in the formula
• Yan Hu Suo and Yi Mu Cao were added to invigorate Blood, eliminate stasis
• Du Zhong was added to tonify and warm Kidney-Yang and eliminate stasis (because this herb is pungent)
• Wu Yao moves Qi and warms the Lower Burner

Ease the Journey – Yin® is a variation of the classical prescription Zuo Gui Wan (Restoring the Left [Kidney] Pill). It was formulated to respond to the very common clinical situation in women when there is a deficiency of both Kidney-Yin and Kidney-Yang.

Kidney-Yin is the substance, the Essence, and Kidney-Yang is the function: the two are interdependent and inseparable and it is for this reason that they are usually both deficient. However, there will always be a predominance of either Yin or Yang deficiency and this is easily observed on the tongue: if it is red there is a predominance of Kidney-Yin deficiency, if it is pale there is a predominance of Kidney-Yang deficiency.

Ease the Journey – Yin® is aimed at addressing a deficiency of both Yin and Yang but with a predominance of Kidney-Yin deficiency.

• Ze Xie, Qin Jiao and Di Gu Pi were added to clear Empty-Heat
• Tian Men Dong was added to nourish Lung-Yin and Kidney-Yin and moisten dryness
• Mu Dan Pi clears Heat, cools Blood and enters the Liver
• Suan Zao Ren pacifies the Liver, calms the Mind and settles the Ethereal Soul
