Ease the Journey – Yang® Formulae
The “journey” refers to a woman’s life journey during the menopause, a transition period in her life. “Easing” means addressing the patterns that may accompany such journey. This formula addresses menopausal patterns in women with an underlying Kidney-Yang deficiency. Note that such menopausal patterns may derive from Kidney-Yang deficiency. Usually most menopausal women will have a deficiency of both Kidney-Yin and Kidney-Yang. This formula is for women in whom the Kidney-Yang deficiency is predominant.

Explanation
Ease the Journey – Yang® is a variation of the classical prescription You Gui Wan (Restoring the Right [Kidney] Pill). Ease the Journey – Yang® was formulated to address the common clinical situation when there is a deficiency of both Yin and Yang but with a predominance of Kidney-Yang deficiency. Although Kidney-Yang is predominantly deficient, the deficient Kidney-Yin portion gives rise to some Empty-Heat.
- Zhi Mu, Di Gu Pi and Qin Jiao were added in small doses to clear Empty-Heat
- Wu Wei Zi nourishes Yin and sinks rising Yang
However, it should be stressed that this formula should be used only when the deficiency of Kidney-Yang predominate over that of Kidney-Yin and the tongue is therefore definitely pale.
