Thank you for understanding!

The Heart is the abode of the Mind (Shen, psyche, spirit), perfusing the organism with Blood (enriched with Food Qi from the Spleen and Air Qi from the Lung). Blood being the vehicle of the mind, the active role of the Heart in circulation imbues the individual with animation, warmth and presence. Because of its Yang character (propelling Blood and Qi through vessels and channels) and its Yin concerns (harboring and protecting the Shen), the Heart is subject to overheating and dissipation of Yin Moisture and Blood that leads to occasional mental uneasiness, anxiety and confusion.

RATIONALE

Lophatherum herb, Ophiopogon tuber and Lotus plumule replenish Moisture, clear Heat and calm occasional agitation. White Asian ginseng root and rhizome and Honey fried Chinese licorice root and rhizome supplement Qi and Moisture. Dry fried Sour jujube seed, Polygala root and Poria nurture Blood and soothe Shen. Schisandra fruit and Lotus seed consolidate Moisture and harmonize the relationship between Water and Fire (Kidney and Heart). Chinese salvia root and rhizome mobilizes Blood and aids in dispelling Heat and calming Shen. All together, these herbs sustain the Heart’s ability to perfuse the organism with Blood while preserving its capacity to enfold the Shen.

Strengthen Fire supports and protects the Heart by supplementing Qi, Moisture and Blood, activating Blood and distributing Moisture, consolidating Essence, dispelling Heat and fostering a tranquil mind.
