"Ren Shen Bu Yang Yao" (人参补阳药) generally refers to "Ginseng Tonifying Yang Medicine/Herb" or a "Ginseng-based formula to supplement Yang." In Traditional Chinese Medicine, "Yang" is the energy associated with warmth, activity, light, and driving functions within the body. When Yang energy is deficient (Yang Deficiency), the body tends to exhibit symptoms of coldness, reduced function, and weakness.
"Ren Shen Bu Yang Yao" primarily aims to tonify and strengthen Yang energy, particularly Kidney Yang, which is considered the root of vital energy in the body. The inclusion of Ginseng (Ren Shen) emphasizes its role in invigorating Qi (vital energy) as well.
