Comment: Li Dongyuan said: "Sandalwood can nourish all vital energies; used as a guiding herb, it is most suitable." In this formula, sandalwood tonifies the kidney, regulates the middle energizer, guides the herbs into their respective meridians, and ensures that the entire formula nourishes without stagnation or greasiness—thus reflecting the ancient principle of balancing movement and stillness in herbal use.
