This is the foundation formula for Yin deficiency of the Liver and Kidneys in TCM. Whole texts have been written about this formula and the elegant way it is constructed.
In brief, the last three herbs are used to correct the first three medicines which are the primary Yin tonics. They prevent the Damp which can build up during Yin tonification; they keep the blood active which is liable to stagnate with rich, cloying, yin tonics; and they support the Spleen and Liver to enable them to support formation of Kidney Yin.
