Strengthening Bone and Waist Formula 11
Job's tears 200g, dried rehmannia 250g, coix seed 200g, ash-free wine 4000ml. Roast Job's tears until fragrant; wrap coix seed and dried rehmannia in gauze bags, place in wine, seal tightly to prevent air leakage. After one week, open and take 10ml each time, once or twice daily.
The original formula states: "For elderly people suffering from wind-damp arthralgia, weakness in limbs, and waist-knee pain." Elderly individuals often have insufficient qi and blood, making them susceptible to wind invasion, leading to dizziness due to deficiency-wind; liver and kidney yin deficiency, poor distribution of spleen essence, results in limb weakness and paralysis. Treatment should focus on tonifying liver and kidney, expelling wind, and unblocking meridians.
In this formula, Job's tears tonifies liver and kidney, nourishes tendons and bones, removes wind-damp obstruction; coix seed strengthens spleen and eliminates dampness, relaxes tendons and meridians, pharmacological studies show analgesic and antipyretic effects; dried rehmannia nourishes kidney yin and blood, promotes menstruation; ash-free wine refers to wine brewed directly from rice without adding lime or furnace ash—highly pungent and hot substances. This type of wine preserves natural aroma, does not impair spirit, and has pure, delicate taste. Wine is pungent and warm, promoting blood circulation and enhancing drug efficacy. The entire formula tonifies liver and kidney, strengthens spleen and stomach, expels wind-damp, and benefits tendons and bones.
