When deep energy runs low

Fatigue that settles in deep, a lower back that tires quickly at the end of the day, feeling the cold on some days and a light warmth on other evenings, rest that is less restorative, a mind that scatters… In TCM, these signs may be associated with a combined deficiency of Kidney Yin and Yang. The Kidney stores the Essence, the body’s deep reserve: Yin is the part that nourishes and cools, Yang the part that warms and sets things in motion. When both weaken together, you lack both resources and drive.

Formule Yang Eau is a Calebasse formula, composed from classic herbs of the Chinese pharmacopoeia. It rests on a central idea of the tradition: the Kidney belongs to Water, the Heart to Fire, and the body’s balance depends on good communication between them. Three of its herbs nourish the Kidney, two connect it to the Heart. Two of them, dodder and goji, are also found in You Gui Wan, the great formula of Kidney Yang.

Yin and Yang together, Kidney and Heart connected

Morinda, dodder and goji, in equal parts, form the foundation of the formula: morinda warms Yang, goji nourishes Yin, and dodder, between the two, supports both without warming or cooling. Polygala and schisandra, at half the dose, complete the whole by creating the link with the Heart.

Tonifies Kidney Yin and Yang: Morinda, warm, supports Kidney Yang; goji, sweet and neutral, nourishes its Yin and the Blood; dodder keeps the balance between the two.

Helps preserve the Essence: Dodder and schisandra, which tradition describes as able to “hold in”, help preserve what the formula replenishes.

Harmonises the Heart and Kidney: According to tradition, polygala makes the Heart and Kidney communicate; schisandra, sour, calms the Heart and joins the Kidney. Water and Fire respond to each other once again.

Supports you through periods of fatigue: By nourishing the deep reserve rather than stimulating, the formula supports the gradual return of a steadier energy.
