Water Sedate "Remove Dampness" Systemic Formulas
Water Sedate "Remove Dampness" Systemic Formulas
The Water Element is correlated to our inner reserves, strength, and confidence. The energy to rest and support the healing processes is part of this element. The grit or will power stems from Water, as does the ability to go with the flow. The Chinese believe that the genetic traits of our parents are inherited via the Water element. Excesses or deficiencies result in imbalances characterized by inability to accomplish goals and be restricted in life by fears.
This formula works with the concept that the kidney works closely with the spleen regarding the transformation and transport of nutritive elements throughout the body, so this formula supports the kidneys, spleen and digestion. In Chinese Medicine it is said that the Water
Element warms the kidneys; restores yang; empowers and dries damp. Dampness occurs when there is stagnation of Qi in the Water Element. In this person it is as if the transport system has broken down. The kidneys and spleen can no longer transform and transport food. The person becomes over worked, digestion breaks down, gums shrink, there is a stagnation of water resources, the body becomes swamp-like. Sedating ‘Water’ dispels dampness and water accumulation. It does not affect the Kidney Qi or essence adversely. The kidney and spleen
are responsible for maintaining proper transportation and transformation of fluids. Kidney yang is the source of spleen yang and both are necessary to prevent damp accumulation. Dampness is thick, tenacious, difficult to eliminate, and generally of long duration.
