Guest guest Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Hello All; I have a question regarding these two. It is my understanding that both " tonifies " the kidneys, however, my text has noted that Yin Yang Huo fortifies both the Yin and Yang, and that the Ba Ji Tian only fortifies the Yang. In regards to its use, which do most prefer to use, as from what I have read they are similar in fashion? Thanks for the help.

I always find it helpful to understand the herbs based on their physiological effect on my body. The one time I took Yin Yang Huo I was a bull in heat and slept very little. A blast of yang, to hell with Viagra. Can't same the same for Ba Ji Tian, as perhaps more of a core 'strengthening' feeling. --george Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Both herbs can be used for kd yang xu and wind-cold bi. BaJiTian gets used in formulas also for specifically mending bones and sinews, which is one way to differentiate it from yin yang huo. Yin yang huo & ba ji tian are both a part of er xian tang which is for menopausal symptoms with kd yin and yang xu, but yin yang huo provides the kd yin supplement. Yin yang huo also can anchor the yang fire from empty fire or lr yang rising.
