Is your home unsettled with frequent strange occurrences? The Taoist Twelve Medicinal Essences are a traditional secret method for resolving negative energies and purifying your living space. Comprising twelve Chinese herbs, they are not for ingestion but, through Feng Shui rituals and chants, can ward off evil, calm the spirit, attract wealth and official success, prevent illness, and protect against petty individuals, ultimately ensuring family safety and health.

The Twelve Medicinal Essences in order and their main functions are as follows:

1. Heaven Essence (Ba Ji): Resolves negative energies and protects the home.

2. Earth Essence (Bai Shao): Regulates Qi flow.

3. Sun Essence (Wu Tou): Illuminates all directions.

4. Moon Essence (Rou Gui, Gui Zhi): Emits light and calms the spirit.

5. Spirit Essence (Fu Shen): Calms the mind and stabilizes will.

6. Human Essence (Ren Shen): Breaks ghostly influences.

7. Mountain Essence (Jie Geng): Blocks ghost gates.

8. Tao Essence (Yuan Zhi): Transmits methods.

9. Ghost Essence (Gui Jian Yu): Shoots down calamities.

10. Pine Essence (Fu Ling): Brings auspiciousness.

11. Beast Essence (Lang Du): Subdues monsters.

12. Fragrance Essence (Du Zhong): Suppresses malignant stars.

These essences can be recombined into a formula to warm and invigorate heart and kidney Yang energy, calm the mind, and stabilize will, suitable for those with emotional distress or essence deficiency. When combined with Taoist chants, the effects are enhanced.
