"Jin Suo Gu Jing Wan," which translates to "Golden Lock Consolidating the Essence Pill."
The combination of Nelumbo nucifera seed, Euryale ferox seed (bran-fried*), Nelumbo nucifera stamen, Astragalus complanatus seed (salt-fried), Ostrea gigas shell (toasted), and Os draconis mineral (toasted) suggests a traditional Chinese herbal formula. Each ingredient has its own therapeutic properties according to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles:
-
Nelumbo nucifera seed: Known as lotus seed, it's often used in TCM to tonify the spleen and kidneys, nourish the heart, and calm the mind. It's believed to have astringent properties and is used to address symptoms such as diarrhea, excessive sweating, and insomnia.
-
*Euryale ferox seed (bran-fried)**: Commonly known as fox nut, it's used in TCM to tonify the kidneys and spleen, stabilize Jing (vital essence), and promote fertility. Bran-frying is a preparation method that enhances its tonifying properties.
-
Nelumbo nucifera stamen: Also from the lotus plant, the stamen is believed to have astringent and hemostatic properties. It's used to stop bleeding, particularly in cases of excessive menstruation or uterine bleeding.
-
Astragalus complanatus seed (salt-fried): Salt-fried Astragalus seeds are used in TCM to tonify the spleen and stomach, promote digestion, and enhance the immune system. This preparation method enhances its tonifying properties.
-
Ostrea gigas shell (toasted): Toasted oyster shell, known as Mu Li in TCM, is used to anchor the Qi, calm the spirit, and stop sweating. It's commonly used for symptoms such as palpitations, sweating, and insomnia.
-
Os draconis mineral (toasted): Also known as Long Gu, toasted dragon bone is used in TCM to calm the spirit, extinguish wind, and relieve spasms. It's often used for symptoms such as restlessness, palpitations, and convulsions.
Based on the properties of these ingredients, the formula may be beneficial for addressing symptoms related to kidney and spleen deficiency, such as fatigue, weakness, insomnia, and reproductive issues. However, it's important to note that the efficacy and safety of the formula depend on various factors, including the specific proportions of the ingredients and individual health conditions. Consulting with a qualified TCM practitioner is recommended for personalized advice and treatment.
