(牡蠣, oyster shell)
Mu Li
and
(龍骨, dragon bone)
Long Gu
both anchor the Liver yang, calm the shen and stop loss of body fluids.
(牡蠣, oyster shell)
Mu Li
enters the Liver, more strongly anchors Liver yang, clears heat and nourishes yin.
(龍骨, dragon bone)
Long Gu
enters the Heart and more effectively calms the shen and astringes body fluids.
