The menopausal syndrome is more commonly attacked in the one who suffered liver and kidney essence and blood deficiency. In the case of chronic disease, yin damage involves insufficient yang qi metaplasia, which can lead to an imbalance of low levels of yin and yang in the body. Zhang Jingyue said: "If you are good at replenishing yin, you must seek yin in yang, and yin will regenerate from yang, the fountain is inexhaustible." The temperate and mild cistanche was added to nourish Yin's medicine, and essence to make Yang grow Yin and replenish Yin, also make a balance between Yin and Yang, the viscera will naturally self-harmonize.

Cistanche, sweet, salty, warm, tonifying kidney and Yang, moistening intestines and relieving constipation, with the effect of Yin and Yang. The Compendium of Materia Medica said:" raise life door, zi kidney qi, tonic blood medicine ...... This agent is warm but not hot, filling but not steep, warm but not dry, slippery but not leak, so it has the name of calm.
