Explanation
Ease the Journey – Yin® is a variation of the classical prescription Zuo Gui Wan (Restoring the Left [Kidney] Pill). Ease the Journey – Yin® 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

Suan Zao Ren pacifies the Liver, calms the Mind and settles the Ethereal Soul.
