Warm yang, promote circulation, and assist transformation: A small amount of cinnamon is added to warm the middle, dispel cold, and facilitate blood vessel flow. Release muscle tension and generate fluids: Kudzu root combined with Dwarf Lilyturf Tuber and Rehmannia Root works to nourish yin, promote fluid production, and alleviate thirst. Clear deficiency heat: Wolfberry Root Bark paired with Rehmannia Root helps clear deficiency heat and cool the blood. Corresponding Patterns (Reference) Yin deficiency with internal heat, or dual deficiency of qi and yin, accompanied by signs of "heat" Common symptoms: Thirst with desire to drink, irritability, dry mouth, dry stools; or postprandial thirst and fatigue Tongue and pulse indicators (reference): Red tongue with scanty moisture / thin yellow coating; thin and rapid or slippery and rapid pulse Modern Pharmacological Research Coptis: Its primary active component, berberine, has been shown in multiple studies to be associated with regulating glucose metabolism, improving insulin sensitivity, and affecting inflammatory pathways. Cinnamon: Randomized controlled trials and meta-analyses suggest it may help improve fasting blood glucose and lipid profiles in certain populations, though current findings remain inconsistent. Kudzu Root: Contains compounds such as puerarin, which are associated with vasodilation and antioxidant effects. Dwarf Lilyturf Tuber & Rehmannia Root: Modern research focuses mainly on their pharmacological mechanisms and clinical applications in nourishing yin and promoting fluid production.
