Luminescence is a faithful rendition of the classical formula, Dong Quai Decoction (Dang Gui Yin Zi), addressing Blood deficiency, particularly as it fails to nourish the skin and hair. Luminescence nourishes Blood while strengthening the Exterior, moistens Dryness, strengthens the body, dispels Wind and stops occasional itching. When Blood is deficient and unable to moisten and nourish the skin, it leads to brittle and dry hair and nails, dry skin and eyes and a pale, dull complexion. The skin, in turn, is unable to protect itself against a Wind invasion that has lodged internally, causing occasionally itchy skin and eyes. Luminescence addresses occasionally dry and itchy skin from two angles: by addressing the root, which is Blood deficiency, and by addressing the manifestation, which is irritation and itching due to a Wind invasion. Luminescence contains the herbs of Four Substance Decoction (Si Wu Tang), the classical formula to address Blood deficiency. It uses raw Rehmannia root instead of the prepared form to better cool the Blood while also tonifying it. Dong quai root tonifies and invigorates Blood. Raw Rehmannia root clears Heat, cools the Blood, nourishes Yin and generates fluids. White peony root nourishes Blood, calms and curbs Liver Yang and subdues Wind. Sichuan lovage rhizome invigorates Blood, promotes the movement of Qi, and expels Wind. Astragalus root tonifies the Protective (Wei) Qi, stabilizing the Exterior. Polygonum multiflorum root tonifies Blood and dispels the Fire which has lodged in the skin. Chinese licorice root and rhizome tonifies the Spleen Qi, moistens the Lungs, drains Fire and harmonizes the actions of the other herbs in the formula. Siler root releases the Exterior, expels Wind from the superficial layers of the body, and alleviates stagnation. Tribulus fruit expels Wind, calms ascendant Liver Yang, breaks up stagnation of Qi and Blood and stops occasional itching. Schizonepeta herb releases the Exterior and dispels Wind, vents occasional rashes and alleviates occasional itching. This formula addresses occasional skin itching and irritation due to an underlying Blood deficiency. If circumstances of occasional skin itching or irritation manifest due to external Wind invasion without Blood deficiency, consider Derma Wind Release. Consider CoptiDetox when there is a stronger Damp Heat manifestation.
