Earth Maker modulates the dynamics of the Earth Triangle. This means harmonizing both the interaction between Earth and Water (Spleen and Kidney) and Wood and Earth (Liver and Spleen). This formula underscores the functions of the Spleen and the authority of Earth. It is the key formula for the Earth Child.
The role of the Spleen is predominant in growth and development until the adolescent changes begin to emerge between fourteen and sixteen years of age. Earth Maker boosts the vital relationship between the Spleen and Kidney, the sources of postnatal (Hou Tian) and prenatal (Xian Tian) Qi, respectively.
As in Wood Builder, the relationship between the Spleen and Liver is what organizes the transformation, assimilation and distribution of Blood and Qi, Ying and Wei that is derived from food and fluid. However, in this context, the digestive functions of the Spleen are emphasized, while the role of the Liver is a supportive one – to prevent Qi stagnation in the Middle Burner.
In their dominion over inborn and acquired Essence (Xian Tian and Hou Tian Jing), the Spleen and Kidney govern the allocation and consolidation of Yin Moisture and Yin Essence. The Spleen generates and distributes, and the Kidney discharges, concentrates and stores. These are crucial functions in maintaining the vigor, tempo and continuity of development from infancy to adulthood. Moreover, the Kidney and Spleen, respectively, initiate and steer the personal and social aspects of development.
Of the five Peacemakers, Earth Maker is a principal formula for supporting overall wellbeing.
RATIONALE
White atractylodes rhizome, Codonopsis root, Poria, dry fried Millet or Rice sprout, Tangerine dried rind of mature fruit and honey fried Chinese licorice root and rhizome focus this formula on the Middle Burner, bolstering the function of the Spleen, the hub of the Earth Triangle.
Tangerine dried rind of mature fruit, Tangerine dried rind of green fruit, prepared Cyperus rhizome and dry fried Millet or Rice sprout assist the Liver and Spleen in coordinating the movement of Qi within and through the Middle Burner. Poria, Plantain seed and Euryale seed assist the Spleen and Kidney in coordinating the distribution and storage of Moisture and Essence.
Liver Qi and Blood are nourished by White peony root and Lycium fruit. The Qi and Yin Essence of the Kidney are supplemented by prepared Rehmannia root, Chinese yam rhizome and Euryale seed. Loranthus herb supplements the Qi, Yin and Blood of the Liver as well as the Qi and Essence of the Kidney. Together, Chinese yam rhizome and Poria tonify the Qi and regulate the Yin Moisture of the Spleen and Kidney, thus harmonizing their relationship. White peony root, prepared Cyperus rhizome and honey fried Chinese licorice root and rhizome can relieve tension and relax occasional spasm in the Stomach and Intestines, thus harmonizing the relationship between Liver and Spleen.
