This formula treats the syndrome of Kidney Yin deficiency with Fire flaring, which is a complication of Kidney Yin deficiency, in which the clinical features of deficiency Heat or deficiency Fire predominate. The causes of this syndrome are the same as for Kidney Yin deficiency – see comments on Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Rehmannia Six Formula BP015). It should be noted that there is always some degree of deficiency Heat that accompanies Kidney Yin deficiency.
