Formula Rationale
When the Liver blood is deficient, not enough blood is able to rise and supply the head, as well as the sensory organs in the head. This manifests as dizziness, blurred vision, chronic eye strain and generalized muscle tension.

The health of the Liver is reflected in the nails; deficiency Liver blood would result in soft, dry, pale, and lusterless nail appearances. Menstrual cycle is governed by the Liver - to supply or close off the flow of bleed at the appropriate times; hence, in deficiency of the Liver blood, the menses are usually irregular with a scanty flow, or even amenorrhea. Blood stasis could develop as well when the blood is little and does not move well, resulting in periumbilical and lower abdominal pain at the onset of menstruation.

The Heart is also nourished by Liver blood; one may experience palpitations and shortness of breath when the Liver blood is deficient.

All herbs in Hemotonin enter the blood level. Di Huang, the chief herb, tonifies the blood, as well as Kidney, which produces the marrow to increase hemopoiesis. On the other hand, it is imperative to move the blood to prevent stasis after tonifying the blood; Dang Gui enhances blood circulation and tonifi es the blood - nourishing the Liver and regulates the menses. Bai Shao nourishes the blood and consolidates yin while Chuan Xiong assists Dang Gui promoting blood circulation.
