The entity known as Cold may arise, for example, from external climatic conditions (exposure to cold or windy weather), dietary excesses (ingestion of cold food and liquid) or internal insufficiency of Qi and Vital Heat (Genuine Yang). Whether associated with excess or deficiency, Cold inhibits the body’s Life Fire (Ming Huo). Without adequate Life Fire, Qi, Moisture and Blood cannot be properly stored and distributed, or transformed by the Spleen and Lung Networks from inhaled air and ingested food and fluid. As a result, Qi stagnates, Moisture and Blood congeal and the function of the Five Organ Networks is disrupted.
Purge Cold supports Life Fire and eliminates Cold by invigorating Yang, supplementing Qi and activating Blood.
RATIONALE
Evodia fruit, Long pepper fruit and Ginger rhizome warm the Yang of the Liver, Spleen and Lung and transform the Dampness (condensation) engendered by Cold. Chinese cinnamon bark and honey fried Chinese licorice root revive the Yang and supplement the Qi of the Heart, Spleen and Kidney. Psoralea fruit and Fenugreek seed invigorate the Yang of the Kidney, consolidate the Essence and protect the Original Fire of the Gate of Life (Ming Men). Chinese cinnamon twig opens the channels and enables the Yang to activate the Qi and Blood and dispel Cold.
All together, these ingredients support the body’s Life Fire, dispel Internal Cold and invigorate the function of the Five Organ Networks.
