Q

For a Yang Tonifying formula, Shen Qi Wan is puzzling. What are the puzzling attributes and why do they make this the best tonify yang formula (according to Dr Pi)?

A

There are only two tonify yang herbs: Fu Zi and Gui Zhi, and these are dosed very low (9g) vs all of the Yin Tonifying herbs some of which are dosed very high (Di Huang, 24g). According to Dr Pi, when tonifying Yang the danger is it will dry up the yin - so nourishing the yin to protect it while feeding the yang is essential to an effective tonify yang formula.
