Signe E Beebe DVM

Abstract

Qi Ju Di Huang Wan (Lycium Fruit, Chrysanthemum and Rehmannia Pill) nourishes Liver and Kidney Yin. This formula has similar actions as Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia) to tonify Yin, however, it has a stronger ability to nourish Liver Yin and treat visual disorders. The original source of Qi Ju Di Huang Wan is from the Yi Ji (Levels of Medicine). Qi Ju Di Huang Wan is composed of the same six herbs as Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia). Shu Di Huang (Rehmannia), the chief herb, tonifies Kidney Yin and Jing (Essence) and fills the marrow. Shan Zhu Yu (Cornus) nourishes the Liver and Kidney and astringes Jing. Shan Yao (Dioscorea) tonifies the Spleen, Kidney and consolidates Jing. Together, these three tonic herbs address deficiencies in the Kidney, Liver and Spleen. Ze Xie (Alisma) sedates the Kidney, causes turbidity to descend, and controls the stagnating effect of Shu Di Huang (Rehmannia). Mu Dan Pi (Cortex Moutan) sedates Deficiency Fire of the Liver, as well as balances the astringent property of Shan Zhu Yu (Cornus). Fu Ling (Poria) strengthens the Spleen, resolves Dampness and balances Shan Yao (Dioscorea). In addition, it contains two herbs Gou Qi Zi (Fructus Lycii) and Ju Hua (Flos Chrysanthemi), that function to improve vision and treat various ocular disorders.
