Heavenly Empress® Formulae

heavenly_empressHeavenly Empress LiquidThe name of this formula is derived from the name of the formula Tian Wang Bu Xin Dan Heavenly Emperor Tonifying the Heart Pill (of which it is a variation). As this formula is for menopausal patterns, I changed “Heavenly Emperor” to “Heavenly Empress®”.

Explanation
This formula addresses Heart-Yin and Kidney-Yin deficiency with Heart Empty-Heat harassing the Mind.

  • Sheng Di Huang, Xuan Shen, Mai Men Dong, Tian Men Dong, Huang Jing, Mu Li and Gou Qi Zi nourish Kidney-Yin and Heart-Yin
  • Xi Yang Shen and Fu Ling tonify Qi and Yin and resolve Dampness
  • Wu Wei Zi nourishes Heart-Yin and the Essence and calms the Mind
  • Dang Gui Dong nourishes Heart-Blood
  • Dan Shen en¬ters the Heart channel and calms the Mind
  • Bai Zi Ren, Suan Zao Ren and Yuan Zhi calm the Mind and settle the Ethereal Soul
  • Jie Geng directs the formula to the Upper Burner and the Heart
  • Qin Jiao, Di Gu Pi and Mu Dan Pi clear Empty-Heat

Heavenly Empress® should be compared and contrasted with Ease the Journey – Yin® and Female Treasure™. Ease the Journey – Yin® nourishes Kidney-Yin and clears Empty-Heat; Female Treasure™ nourishes Liver-Yin and Kidney-Yin and subdues Liver-Yang; Heavenly Empress® nourishes Kidney¬-Yin and Heart-Yin, clears Heart Empty-Heat and calms the Mind. Thus, Heavenly Empress® has the strongest Mind-calming action of the three formulae.

A simultaneous deficiency of Kidney-Yin and Kidney-Yang is more the norm than the exception. Just as Ease the Journey – Yin® can be combined with Ease the Journey – Yang®, the latter can also be combined with Female Treasure™ or Heavenly Empress® in a complex condition of deficiency of both Kidney-Yin and Kidney-Yang, but with predominance of Kidney-Yin deficiency. The table on the following page compares and contrasts the formulae Ease the Journey – Yin®, Female Treasure™ and Heavenly Empress®.

It should be noted that the formula Heavenly Empress® can be used for any patterns of Heart-Yin and Kidney-Yin deficiency and Heart Empty-Heat.
