Do you often feel downcast and disinterested in things? Even after sleeping enough hours, do you still wake up fatigued and lacking energy? Are you more afraid of cold than others, with icy hands and feet, soreness and weakness in the waist and knees, and experiencing diarrhea after eating cold foods? Don't ignore these signals. Traditional Chinese Medicine believes these are often due to "insufficient Yang Qi." Today, I'll share a classic Chinese patent medicine—Guifu Dihuang Wan. By supplementing the three Yangs of the Heart, Spleen, and Kidneys, it can help you eat well, sleep well, and revitalize your essence and spirit.

Humans resonate with nature, and Yang Qi is the body's "little sun": Heart Yang nourishes the spirit and mind, keeping emotions full and vibrant; Spleen Yang transports and transforms food and water, supplying the body with energy; Kidney Yang serves as the foundation of Yang Qi, warming and nourishing all organs throughout the body. Once Yang Qi becomes deficient, this "little sun" dims, leading to listlessness, gloomy emotions, and various physical discomforts. The key to replenishing Yang Qi lies in activating Kidney Yang, and Guifu Dihuang Wan was created precisely for this purpose.

Gui Fu Di Huang Pills are based on Liu Wei Di Huang Pills, with the addition of two warming herbs: cinnamon and aconite. Liu Wei Di Huang Pills nourish kidney yin, akin to "adding gasoline," while cinnamon and aconite supplement fire and assist yang, like "igniting the flame." Through the wisdom of traditional Chinese medicine's concept of "seeking yang within yin," this formulation helps to quickly invigorate weak yang energy, achieving the effect of "nourishing both yin and yang, with a focus on boosting yang." It is suitable for individuals with yang deficiency symptoms such as aversion to cold, cold limbs, pale complexion, and a pale tongue with a white coating.

For targeted supplementation of the three yang systems, pairing with meridian-guiding herbs is more effective. To nourish heart yang, use red sage root, processed polygala root, and grassleaf sweetflag rhizome (add fried spiny jujube seed for insomnia) decocted in water to take with the pills, which can improve palpitations and insomnia. To nourish spleen yang, use dried ginger, fried atractylodes rhizome, and dried tangerine peel decocted in water to take with the pills, alleviating cold abdomen and susceptibility to diarrhea. For nourishing kidney yang, the pills can be taken alone or with eucommia bark, epimedium, and morinda root decocted in water to enhance warming effects on the waist and knees.

Special attention must be paid, as Gui Fu Di Huang Pills are not suitable for everyone. Those with excess fire symptoms such as cold-induced fever and mouth ulcers, individuals with damp-heat conditions like bodily heat and a bitter taste in the mouth, and those with yin deficiency and fire hyperactivity characterized by tidal fever and night sweats should avoid taking them. Yang energy is the body and mind's "warm sun," and only appropriate regulation can reignite this "little sun" and revitalize health and vitality.
