Thanks for the explanations. I think I do understand what you are saying. I don't see Chinese Medicine as a science because it doesn't seek rigorous proofs like science does. But as you have said before just because it is not 'scientific' does not mean that it isn't rational and logical. It seems to me that the emphasis with Chinese med is in the practical results, not in proving why something works.

In each prescription, I select about 12 herbs from over 1000 available in the dictionary. Do you see the rich combinations I can have? I can turn around and give you 50 different prescriptions that achieve the same result. My herbs change in each prescription. However, my reasoning should not if I want to deliver the same result. If you rely on your memory, it does not get you anywhere. Use your reasoning!

To ytcrittical,
I used to assign 10 grams for each herb. Some people use way too much. They will find out that more does not mean better and faster (if you understand the concept).

Hi John, I notice in this formula you are using most of the herbs from the Four Treasures formula you discussed in another video. But in this formula you are not using the fourth herb Bai(Chi) Shao, why is that?

Let me use an analogy: You get get to your destination (result) by driving on the same road (reasoning) on a hundred different car models (prescriptions). Got it?

I think I know what you mean. When a herbalist is making a formula, he is doing it to achieve a particular goal. In this case for better sexual potency :). By applying the correct rationale he will then be able to choose the best method to achieve the goal. Here the method is nourish Blood, strengthen Kidneys, Qi and Yang. Then with the correct method adopted he can pick the herbs to make the formula. So you could make this formula with many different herbs but always same method.

The 4 treasures is just a convenient simple formula for blood nourishment. People can remember them easily. It's not something sacred. You can break it up, use it partially, use it as a platform to add other herbs, and any other way you like. It's the result that counts, not which component you miss.
