Commentary

Taking yellow croaker swim bladder (Yu-biao) as the leading herb, the formula draws on its sweet, salty flavor and neutral property: its action follows the Kidney meridians and works to tonify the kidney and stop bleeding. Finally, sesame oil (Zhi-ma-you) acts as the coordinating (envoy) herb; its role is to moisten the intestines and harmonize the formula and coordinate the herbs. The overall effect is to warm and tonify kidney yang, restoring balance within the male infertility framework.
