in the recipe, Di  Huang  is the principal herb with the effect of tonifying the kidney yin, and Shan Yu Rou and Shan Yao
are used to replenish the liver and invigorate the spleen. Zhi Fu Zi (Prepared aconite root) is pungent and sweet in flavor
and hot in property, has the effects of restoring yang, dispelling cold and removing dampness, while Gui Zhi (cinnamon
twig) warms the meridians and activates the vessels. These two small dosed herbs are used to slightly engender the fire,
which means to promote growth of the kidney qi. Fu Ling (Poria) excretes dampness and strengthens the spleen. Ze Xie
(Oriental water plantain) clears and regulates the water passage. Mu Dan Pi (Moutan bark) clears the liver fire. The
combination of all herbs results in getting yang from yin, avoiding dryness from warm herbs and greasiness from
tonification.

can be treated with the modified recipe.
