Commentary
Cordyceps occupies the sovereign position; neutral in nature and sweet in flavor, with Lung, Kidney tropism, it tonifies the kidneys and lung, stops bleeding, and resolves phlegm and becomes the guiding principle of the whole formula. The ministerial layer, hen (of warm nature and sweet flavor, entering the Spleen, Stomach, tonifies qi and blood and warms the middle), lends support that reinforces the sovereign’s main effect. Viewed as a whole, the formula addresses the kidney deficiency presentation, treating both root and branch.
