Dryness due to lack of bodily fluids affects the function of all tissues and metabolic processes. Depletion of Yin Essence which is stored and released by the Kidney affects the quality and quantity of Blood (Xue) and Moisture (Jin Ye), which can result in depletion of the Qi of the Lung, Liver, Heart and Spleen Networks. Moisture, like Qi and Blood, circulates throughout the organism in the form of sexual secretions, mucus, tears, perspiration, synovial fluid, cerebro-spinal fluid, vitreous humor, saliva, perspiration, etc. Both Blood and Moisture have the same source: the Postnatal (Nutritive) Essence of the Spleen and the Prenatal (Congenital) Essence of the Kidney.
Moisture (Jin Ye) becomes deficient when external climates like Heat, Wind and Dryness, or when internal conditions like excess Heat from overwork, overeating and drinking, emotional distress or illness lead to depletion of Moisture. Erosion of Yin Essence of the Five Yin Organs (Wu Zang) is the long-term consequence of an insufficiency of Moisture.

Tonify Moisture supports the maintenance of healthy bodily fluids, supplementing the Moisture of the Kidney, Lung and Stomach and protects Yin by consolidating Essence while dispelling Heat.
