Product Description
Profound Essence
Profound Essence is a powerful primal essence formulation. It is suitable for those who require maximum restoration of essence after extreme or prolonged stress, illness or old age. It is particularly suitable for those women who have been pregnant and for those who have just given birth to a child. Essence Restorative tonifies Kidney essence (Yin and Yang), builds blood, tonifies Qi and purges false fire.
The formula is significantly strengthened by combining with Deer Placenta, which is the most potent Jing restorative known to Chinese tonic herbalism. To further enhance the functions of this formula, drink one or two packets of Healer's Tea every day.
The Herbs in Profound Essence
Yin Jing is easily depleted by excessive stress, over work, and by excessive sexual activity (beyond the body’s actual capacity) and drug abuse. As the Yin Jing becomes depleted, Yang is left uncontrolled and false fire conditions can easily develop, resulting in hyperactive Yang. If the condition is left untreated, severe damage will result. Yin Jing is synonymous with life itself. It protects our youthfulness. When a person runs low on Yin Jing, they age very quickly. When a person runs out of Yin Jing, they die. Therefore, Yin Jing deficiency is very serious and must be avoided at all cost. But if Yin Jing deficiency does occur, it must be treated as quickly and effectively as possible. That is where Tortoise Shell comes in. It is powerful, effective, and quick. If the symptoms of exhaustion do include hyperactive symptoms, such as afternoon fevers, inflammation, sore throat, swollen lymph glands, etc., the Tortoise Plastron is blended with cold herbs like raw Rehmannia, Phellodendron and Anemmarhena. This combination will replenish fluids (Yin) and Kidney Yin (Yin essence). Furthermore, to protect the Jing, “astringent” herbs are important to prevent “leaking” of Jing during the process of restoration.
Plastrum Testudinus (Tortoise Plastrum)
Plastrum Testudinus (Tortoise plastrum) is an important tonic, used routinely in “restorative” formulas for people who are experiencing exhaustion. It replenishes bodily fluids, and settles unruly wind, which manifests in Yin-deficiency cases as inflammation, pain, cramps, fever, dehydration, insomnia, etc. Due to its Yin nourishing ability and to the fact that it is a cold herb, it is capable of extinguishing false fire conditions anywhere in the body. If some one is thoroughly exhausted but is not yet showing such hot symptoms, or if the hot symptoms have already been overcome but more restorative therapy is required, then Tortoise Plastron and a variety of cooling Yin herbs may be blended with Atractylodes and Poria to create a restorative formula.
White Atractylodes Rhizome and Poria
White Atractylodes and Poria are excellent Qi tonics that provide strength, boost the immune system and eliminate toxic fluids from the body. Dang Gui is the premier blood tonic of Chinese herbalism. White Peony Root builds blood, cleans blood and beautifies the skin. It has a relaxing effect on the muscles when combined with Licorice Root, as it is in this formula.
Eucommia Bark
Eucommia is a superb Yang Jing tonic, used to strengthen the back (especially the lower back), skeleton, and joints (especially the knees and ankles). Eucommia is widely used in China as a safe and effective Yang tonic for men and women. It is very well tolerated so it may be used by those in a very weak condition. Eucommia is believed to confer strength and flexibility to the ligaments and tendons. It is used to strengthen the back, knees, and the entire body. Dipasacus and Cuscuta are also excellent Yang tonics that restore the primal power of the body. They are also astringent and help retain Jing so that it is not easily lost. Dragon Bone is a mineral that is both calming to the nerves and an excellent astringent that controls Yang energy.
Raw Rehmannia Root
Raw Rehmannia confers strength to the Kidney system and relieves false fire.
Profound Essence is thus a blend of Yin and Yang tonics designed to build the entire system up from the roots. Again, Jing Formulation is significantly strengthened by combining with Deer Placenta, which is the most potent Jing restorative known to Chinese tonic herbalism. To further enhance the functions of this formula, drink one or two packets of Healer's Tea every day.
