Formula Rationale

Harmovex (Tian Wang Bu Xin Wan or Emperor of Heaven's Heart Tonifying Pills) is designed to treat Heart and Kidney deficiencies with yin and blood insufficiencies.

Di Huang is the chief herb in this formula; its main actions are tonifying yin and blood to help control hyperactivity of yang and moisten dryness. Di Huang also nourishes Kidney water and helps to control Heart fire.

Xuan Shen, Tian Men Dong, and Mai Men Dong are assistant herbs to further strengthen yin to clear fire. Dan Shen and Dang Gui both act to tonify and activate blood circulation.

Dang Shen and Fu Ling tonify qi to calm the shen (mind). Suan Zao Ren and Wu Wei Zi astringe the Heart qi to calm the shen (mind). Bai Zi Ren and Yuan Zhi nourish the Heart to calm the shen (mind). Jie Geng leads all the herb actions to the Upper Jiao (burner).
