Er Zhi Wan is a 2-ingredient Chinese Medicine formula with Glossy Privet Fruits (Nu Zhen Zi) and Eclipta Herbs (Mo han lian) as principal ingredients.
Invented in 1534 AD, it belongs to the category of formulas that nourish Yin and tonify. Its main actions are: 1) nourishes Liver Yin and 2) nourishes Kidney Yin.
In Chinese Medicine health conditions are thought to arise due to "disharmonies" in the body as a system. These disharmonies are called "patterns" and the very purpose of herbal formulas is to fight them in order to restore the body's harmony.
In this case Er Zhi Wan is used by TCM practitioners to fight patterns like Kidney Yin Deficiency, Kidney-Deficiency or Kidney and Liver Yin Deficiency causing Heat in the Blood. From a Western Medicine standpoint, such patterns can give rise to a range of conditions such as prolonged periods, abnormal uterine bleeding or intermenstrual bleeding for instance.
