[Formula Rationale]

The “Six-Flavor Rehmannia Pill” nourishes the liver and kidneys, treating symptoms of liver and kidney Yin deficiency such as sore and weak lower back, dizziness, blurred vision, deafness, and tinnitus. Goji berries are bitter and slightly sweet in taste, and mildly cold in nature, entering the liver and kidney meridians. They can nourish the liver and kidneys, and also nourish the liver and improve vision. Chrysanthemum clears the liver and improves vision, and disperses wind-heat. When these herbs are combined, they are highly effective for symptoms arising from liver and kidney deficiency and insufficient Yin and blood, such as dizziness, blurred vision, and cloudy vision.
