Mentioned in these formula finders:
body aches, cholesterol regulating, bone health, urinary disorders, women’s health

This extraordinary formula does it all. Three herbs to urinate out edema, three herbs to prevent frequent urination, and two herbs to warm the underlying deficiency, three herbs to prevent frequent urination, and two herbs to warm the underlying deficiency.

This formula’s original name translates to the “Kidney qi pill” which is to say that it normalizes the functions of the Kidneys and their many functions. Whether you’re peeing too much or not enough, the Kidney qi pill will get you going in the right direction and more importantly in the right amount.

Of course, in Chinese medicine, “Kidney qi” or functions are not limited solely to regulating urination. Kidney qi is what tends to become deficient as we age (according to Chinese medical knowledge). As such, this formula can help to regulate the quality of your hearing, low back pain that is aggravated by fatigue, knee weakness or pain, bone density, and libido. These are all reliant on the health of the Kidneys, and the Kidney qi pill is the core herbal approach to these issues.

Ingredients:

Fu Zi :附子 Prepared daughter root of Sichuan aconite Radix Lateralis Aconiti Carmichaeli Praeparata [Pregnancy Note]
Gui Zhi :桂枝 (Saigon) cinnamon twig, cassia twig Ramulus Cinnamomi Cassiae

• These two herbs are warming and spicy. They’re the fire that burns, like the spark in your car’s engine that ignites the fuel, giving rise to the qi power of this formula. Plus gui zhi (cinnamon twig) tastes good. So there’s that too. :)

Sheng Di Huang :生地黃 Chinese foxglove root, rehmannia (fresh),Rehmannia root Radix Rehmanniae Glutinosae
Shan Yao :山藥 dioscorea rhizome, Chinese yam Dioscoreae Rhizoma
Shan Zhu Yu :山茱萸 Asiatic cornelian cherry fruit, cornus Corni Fructus

• These three herbs all help the body produce more fluids. This fluid is the fuel that is burned by the two warming herbs above. Sheng Di Huang is a very deep root that nourishes the body fluids deeply (picture above). Shan yao (a yam) and shan zhu yu (a sour cherry) round out the moistening and nourishing herbs in this formula. Because of shan zhu yu’s sour nature, it helps suck in excessive urination to address frequent urination or dribbling after you’re done.

Mu Dan Pi :牡丹皮 moutan root bark, tree peony root bark Cortex Moutan Radicis
Fu Ling :茯苓 sclerotium of tuckahoe, China root, hoelen, Indian bread Poria Cocos
Ze Xie :澤瀉 alisma rhizome, water plantain Rhizoma Alismatis Orientalis [Pregnancy Note]

• Mu dan pi is teamed up with the two diuretics fu ling and ze xie in order to stimulate blood flow in the urogenital system. This regulates one of the key Kidney functions, which is water metabolism. Folks who seek out the benefits from this formula often do so in order to regulate their urinary output.

This formula can be used to support health with or without symptoms. If symptoms are present, take 1 level teaspoon of the powder (8 capsules) three times daily. When symptoms are not present, take 1/2 level teaspoon (4 capsules), two times daily. Empty stomach is best for efficient absorption, but not essential. [More...]
