In Taoist medicine, the balance of Yin and Yang is the foundation of health. Erzhi Pill, a famous formula dating back to the Ming Dynasty, consists of only two herbs—Ligustrum lucidum (女贞子) and Eclipta prostrata (旱莲草)—yet it effectively harmonizes Yin and Yang, nourishes the liver and kidneys, and serves as a classic solution for various sub-health issues.

The core efficacy of Erzhi Pill lies in nourishing Yin of the liver and kidneys. Yin deficiency in these organs often manifests as dizziness, dry eyes, fatigue, insomnia, dream-disturbed sleep, lower back and knee pain, premature graying hair, and even hand tremors. This formula uses Ligustrum lucidum to tonify the kidneys, nourish Yin, and brighten the eyes, combined with Eclipta prostrata to boost kidney Yin and cool the blood to stop bleeding. Together, they achieve the effect of "nourishing Yin to support Yang," with a mild nature that avoids dryness or excessive heat, making it suitable for long-term conditioning.
