yi zhi ren
益知仁 fructus alpiniae oxyphyllae
yi = benefit
zhi = knowledge
ren = benevolence (according to the dictionary); nut (according to Bensky)
Funny the name of this herb makes it sound like it will make you smarter, but the indications are all about not pooping or peeing your pants!
To remember the function I will just picture Yi Zhi Ren, which looks like little nuts, in a diaper.
or a big nut in a diaper
Yi Zhi Ren warms the Kidney and retains the ESSENCE to hold in urineYi Zhi Ren warms the spleen and stops diarrhea
Yi Zhi Ren is warm and acrid, and is contraindicated for lower burner problems due to heat.
IMPORTANT COMPARISION Bu Gu Zhi VS Yi Zhi Ren Like Bu Gu Zhi, it goes to the Spleen and Kidneys. Yi Zhi Ren and Bu Gu Zhi are similar in function, but Yi Zhi Ren more directly and strongly warms the Spleen yang, while Bu Gu Zhi more directly warms the Kidney yang. Yi Zhi Ren is more appropriate for diarrhea due to cold Spleen /Stomach, and Bu Gu Zhi more appropriate for cock's crow diarrhea due to Kidney yang deficiency.
