Bai Zi Ren and Suan Zao Ren are similar and often used in conjunction to nourish the heart and calm the spirit. Bai Zi Ren is noticibly moister. Both go to the heart, but Suan Zao Ren travels to the LV/GB and the Spleen, whereas Suan Zao Ren travels to the Kidney and Large Intestine.
Bai Zi Ren is also gentle and harmonious, enriching, and moistening.
