Water Seeker modulates the dynamic of the Water Triangle. This means harmonizing the interaction between both Water and Fire (Kidney and Heart) and Earth and Water (Spleen and Kidney). This is the key formula for the Water Child.
In Water Seeker, the Kidney Network is the focus of the formula and the herbal ingredients emphasize nurturing and consolidating the Kidney Qi, root of Yin and Yang. The Yang Qi of the Kidney is the active manifestation of the Genuine Yang (Yuan Yang), also known as Life Fire (Ming Huo). It is this Vital Heat that animates the movement of the Mind and Blood (the Heart Qi) and kindles the processes of digestion and assimilation (the Spleen Qi).
The Kidney Yin engenders the Blood that nourishes the body and becomes the medium of the mind (Shen), while the Kidney Yang engenders the transformations within the body and the movement of thoughts through the Mind.
The integrated functions of the Kidney, Heart and Spleen are fundamental to the growth and maturation of the child. Preserving and protecting their integrity is crucial for the optimal processes of learning, adapting, reproducing, creating, imagining, acquiring wisdom and fulfilling destiny (Ming).
RATIONALE
White atractylodes rhizome, Codonopsis root, Job’s tears seed, Tangerine dried rind of mature fruit and honey fried Chinese licorice root and rhizome orient this formula around the Middle Burner. The Kidney is the focus of this formula; and because the Kidney is the source and foundation of bodily life, its Qi should always be conserved and never unwittingly dispersed or excessively discharged. This formula emphasizes supporting and protecting Qi, Yang and Essence rather than regulating Qi and Blood.
Reishi fruiting body, Schisandra fruit and Lotus seed support the Heart and quiet the mind. Chinese yam rhizome, Lotus seed, Tangerine dried rind of mature fruit and Chinese amomum fruit bolster the Spleen and aid the transformation of food and fluid into Ying and Wei.
Lotus seed, Schisandra fruit, prepared Rehmannia root, Chinese yam rhizome and Eleutherococcus root bark supplement and consolidate the Qi and Essence of the Kidney. Sharp-leaf galangal fruit safeguards the Yang of the Kidney, the source of the Genuine Yang (Zhen Yang) or True Fire (Zhen Huo). Kidney Yang is the origin of the life impulse that gives rise to the illumination of the Mind under the guardianship of the Heart and enables the capacity for thought, supervised by the Spleen.
With a predominance of Qi, Blood, Essence and Yang augmenting agents, Knotweed herb is at hand to discharge any accumulation of Dampness and Heat via the urinary bladder.
