Xian Mao, Hb. Epimedii Yin Yang Huo, and Rx. Morindae Ba Ji Tian each tonify Kidney Yang, strengthen the sinews and bones, and expel Wind-Dampness. Of the three, Xian Mao is the hottest and most acrid, with the strongest action on Cold-Dampness, but its mild toxicity limits it to short-term use. Ba Ji Tian, acrid, sweet and only mildly warming, has a soft, moistening quality that tonifies Yang without excessive dryness and also augments Jing. Yin Yang Huo is warmer still, more strongly builds Ming Men Fire, and is especially strong at dispersing Wind-Dampness and unblocking Bi.
Wine-fried Curculigo, Jiu Chao Xian Mao, is gentler and has an enhanced ability to tonify Kidney Yang and strengthen the sinews and bones.
