Description |
For Weariness and weakness due to overwork, mental or emotional strain, and lack of sleep, this formula renews bodily strength, mental determination, and enthusiasm by fortifying the Three Sources of Qi.* Together astragalus, ginseng and eleutherococcus strengthen the Sleen and Lung, tonfiying the Qi of the exterior and the interior. Eleutherococcus augments the potent, invigorating ability of ginseng to increase strength, endurance, and accelerate recovery from fatigue. Atractylodes and licorice assist in strengthening the Spleen, consolidating the Qi at the surface (the wei or Defensive Qi), and reinforcing the Qi of the interior (the ying or Nutritive Qi). Long pepper, aurantium, and platycodon warms the Spleen, Lung, and Kidney, and enhance the circulation of Qi throughout the body, activating respiration and digestion while alleviating stagnation and accumulation. Schisandra strengthens the Lung and Kidney by anchoring that which is received by the Lung and gathered by the Kidney. Forsythia, in partnership with licorice, counters and dissipates Heat produced by hyperactivity - the response to fatigue - as well as the warmth generated by the other ingredients.*
