Featured Formula: Bright Eye Rehmannia (Ming Mu Di Huang Wan):

Featured Formula: Bright Eye Rehmannia (Ming Mu Di Huang Wan):

Bright Eyes Rehmmania is the Chinese medicine go-to formula for a wide range of eye conditions. We use it for red, itchy, allergy eyes, eye strain and fatigue, floaters, night blindness, blurry vision, glaucoma… in other words almost all things eye related!
The eyes are the sense organ connected to the Liver. If the Liver has Heat, the eyes will be red, painful or burning. If it is Wind Heat, there will also be itching. If the Liver is Yin deficient, it can not moisten and nourish the eyes, vision can decline, floaters can appear and the eyes may feel dry or gritty.

Derived from one of Chinese medicine’s most important Yin tonics, Bright Eye Rehmmania supplements the Yin of the Kidneys and Liver, nourishes the eyes, supports healthy vision and provides a grounding force for Liver Yang. It is an elegant formula that combines the six ingredients of Liu Wei Di Huang Wan with six ingredients that focus the action on the Liver and eyes.
Because it is such a powerful Yin tonic, we can use it whenever foundational Yin becomes depleted, showing up as occasional low back discomfort, sore legs, frequent urination, dizziness or light-headedness. When any part of a person becomes dry, withered, brittle, rough, shaky or unstable, Yin has the power to moisten, soften and stabilize. We need Yin in order to be graceful, still and quiet, and we need Liver Yin in particular to maintain our capacity to turn inward, to envision our path and to organize our actions to follow that path. Yin deficient patterns often arise when we participate in a hectic, pressured lifestyle that drains us. Bright Eye Rehmannia is used to restore inner calm and resilience when one is under pressure, agitated, unsettled or nervous and uneasy.

Key words: Yin tonic, Liver, Kidneys, eyes, vision, moisten and nourish
