  • It is used for a range of allergic and immune-complex conditions.
  • It treats pulmonary or lymphatic tuberculosis in patients showing Yin Deficiency signs.

  • Nu Zhen Zi and Hb. Ecliptae (Mo Han Lian) both tonify Liver and Kidney Yin, treating dizziness, tinnitus, vertigo, premature graying, and sore, weak low back and knees. Nu Zhen Zi additionally addresses hot flashes and steaming-bone sensation from Deficiency Heat, while Mo Han Lian more strongly cools the Blood to stop various forms of bleeding.
