Hi David, Hope you had fun at the wedding :) Is H&A's Kidney Support formula contraindicated for someone with damp or deficient spleen because of the Processed Rehmannia? Or would the other herbs in this formula help to balance that out? Thank you! Donna

Sorry, Donna again. I just re-listened to class last week where someone asked a question similar to this and it doesn't seem to me that there are other herbs in the formula to make it more digestible for people with deficient st/sp qi (please correct me if I am wrong). But based on what you said in class, we could give them carminatives in addition to this formula to balance that out if we wanted. So to narrow the question a bit, I'm specifically interested in whether we can do this for someone with damp spleen (vs deficient) as well. Thanks very much.

No, the tincture of Processed Rehmannia is less moistening than the decoction and it is only a small part of the overall formula and as I said you can add aromatic herbs to reduce this issue if needed.
