[ANALYSIS OF FORMULA]: It is a common formula to warm the kidney and replenish the essence. In the recipe, prepared rhizome of rehmannia with sweet fla­vor and warm property, nourishes the kidney-yin, and is the principal herb. Dow­good fruit and wolfberry fruit replenish the liver and nourish the blood. Chinese yam and roasted licorice root benefit qi and invigorate the spleen. Cinnamon bark and prepared aconite root warm yang to dispel cold. Eucommia bark has effects of replenishing the liver and kidney and strengthening the tendons and bones. All of them are the assistant and adjuvant herbs. The combination of all herbs in the rec­ipe results in warming the kidney and replenishing the essence.

This formula is derived from Gold Chamber Kidney-Qi Pills in which pre­pared rhizome of rehmannia is used in place of dried rehmannia root and poria, ori­ental water plantain and moutain are omitted, and wolfberry fruit, eucommon bark and roasted licorice root are added, so it is stronger than Kidney-Qi Pills.
