Sorry, I try to give as little information about me on these forums as possible. But they're like every kind of deficiencies, for example I have to use glasses to see well.HPS Shannon said:TopoftheAbyss said:For example, Augustus was far from being healthy and I have lots of them too, in fact too many.

If you dont mind me asking, what kind of deficiencies or can you give examples of other things if too personal? What kind of deficiencies do you mean? There's genetic, chronic, etc, etc.

Centralforce666 said:Everyone is born with a pre-natal essence.
Roughly equivalent to DNA, this pre natal essence or Jing is given to you at conception and nourished by your mother's state of health either for good or bad during gestation.
Following birth and the activation of the spleen and stomach, they provide an opportunity to give post natal Jing.
This post natal essence transformation relies on the pre natal jing however this can be supplemented with certain herbs and treatment methods dependent on whether the Jing is leading to yin or yang Deficiency.
As all organs develop according to the jing, the sensory organs which are connected to those organs may also suffer as is the case with poor eyesight stemming from insufficient liver blood or yin. Nourishment of kidney yin via the food you eat can help to generate the wood element of the liver and improve your bodily condition over time.

Can you give any suggestions on replenishing kidney yin? I'm to the point of imbalance the yang energy is making blockages in my upper channels. Congestion and thick yellowish-green phlegm, night-sweats, extreme fatigue, and an inability to fall into deep sleep. I had a very fast paced life style for about 6 years working 60-70 hours a week between construction and restaurant work. I abused my body so bad drinking coffee, energy drinks, energy shots, and abusing drugs and alcohol. I've learned to manage symptoms but not the root cause of it all.

These symptoms have a small overlap with Kidney Yin but seem to be predominantly phlegm fire symptoms.
Do you get a sensation of heaviness in the arms and legs or a feeling of a foggy head?
Do you experience headaches particularly in the frontal and temporal areas or one sided headaches?
Do you suffer from psychological disturbance such as delusions or disordered/chaotic thought patterns?
Centralforce666 said:What colour is your tongue?
Can you describe the body of the tongue, its shape and width and colour?
How about the tongue coating (if present)?
Centralforce666 said:A swollen tongue indicates excessive body water and in the absence of a thick tongue coating more than likely phlegm over dampness.
This needs to be addressed before more tonics are taken.
Tonics for yin and blood and qi to a lesser extent will increase the phlegm which will make this more complex and difficult to manage.
Of the formulas you are taking, Bi Yan Pian is the only one which is suitable to your condition, and even so not 100% on the mark. Wen Dan Tang is a better formula for now, to be taken for 1-2 weeks and then revisit the symptoms before taking anything else.
This formula resolves hot phlegm, particularly in the Heart which isn't strictly the issue here but excess skin on the tongue indicates a constitutional underlying heart issue and the excess indicates dead water there, probably as a result of prenatal essence problems.
The heat is evident in the colour of your sputum and the midline crack on your tongue can either show a heart Deficiency (if it reaches the tip of the tongue) or a stomach weakness which phlegm will further impair.
The rounded tip of the tongue may suggest a lack of heart acuity, due to the phlegm trapped therein.
