This is how to analyse the therapeutic functions of the various decoctions part thirty two

Hey, I'm back to continue on how to analyse the therapeutic functions of Ding Chuan Tang.
Similarly, the selection and reason why they are the minister's herbs in the decoction would be shown below as follow:
Minister's herbs:-
  • Su Zi
  • Xing Ren
  • Kuan Dong Hua
  • Fa Ban Xia




This is how to analyse the therapeutic functions of the various decoctions part thirty-two

Let's start with the threshold established so far:


Association to a Specific Meridian Channel



Su Zi is the ripened fruit of the whole plant called Perilla frutescens or Zi Su which is another herb to be discussed in my later blog.
Su Zi is associated with the:
  • Lung
  • Large Intestine Meridian Channels respectively
Therefore Su Zi has a direct link to the Lung and travels there to supplement and fuel the power of the monarch's herbs in softening and hence removing the hot phlegm.
As a rule of thumb, it is very appropriate to apply:
  • (Xin Wen Zhi Ke Ping Chuan Run Chang Tong Bian) 
whenever Su Zi is used.
This means the combined application of: 
  • the pungent or spicy taste
  • warming effect
to disperse the heat accumulation due to cold virus invasion which is root cause and warm up the Lung to soften the hot phlegm to be readily coughed out and dissolved.  The primary healing properties of Su Zi are as follows:
  • Lubricate the intestine to ease constipation
  • Ease asthma and subdue cough


Specific Taste


Su Zi possesses a pungent or spicy taste.  


Specific Properties



Next, I'll touch on the specific property of 
  • Su Zi
which is warm.

The rest of the 3 minister's herbs were already explained in my previous blog published in October 2021 onwards. Inevitably, you must refer to them to refresh memories now and then.

However, it is necessary to bring out the important points linking up these 4 minister's herbs as below:

On the whole, there are 2 main functions to be listed here and using 4 properties,

  • Gan Ku Se Ping  to:

1) Disperse the accumulated Lung heat and relieve the superficial symptom.

Due to cold wind invasion, the prolonged cold has turned into resultant heat accumulated

in the Lung in the TCM perspective. (Gan Cao, Ma Huang, Sang Pi and Xing Ren would be used to complete this dispersion).

2) Astringe the Lung Air path to tonify interior deficiencies

  • Kuan Dong Hua
  • Bai Guo
  • Huang Qin
  • Su Zi
  • Fa ban Xia - would be combined to complete this function.

At this junction, I can sense that you would feel a little dry and boring. This is the treatment for you to heal this dryness. However, this is a part and parcel procedure when managing the usage of traditional Chinese medicine. The 3 W  and 1 H- why, how, what and when is the treatment formula.

Why, How, What and When

Learning all these analyses will make:  

you, eventually, would be able to know how to determine 

  1. why use this herb and not another
  2. how to use which herb and not another,
  3. what to choose and apply which herb and not another
  4. when to use which herb and not another most appropriately.  

This means that all of you would get every bit of knowledge of the TCM from me because I do not want to cremate this knowledge with me when my last day to leave the earth arrives.

How To Analyse The Therapeutic Functions Of The Various Decoctions Part Thirty One


Hey, I'm back to continue on the next chapter which is the reverse of cold phlegm trapped deeply.  It's a balance between the YinYang again as there should be hot phlegm deeply trapped to be dissolved.


This is how to analyse the Therapeutic Functions Of The Various Decoctions part 31.


Flu with Heaty phlegm contained deeply can be relieved by dissolving the phlegm and clearing the lung air way and calming the asthmatic condition.


Treatment formulas are:
  • Ding Chuan Tang
  • Ma Xing Shi Gan Tang

The difference between the 2 will be discriminated against individually.  I will list out the herbs in the order that comprise the first formula(Ding Chuan Tang) and they are:

Ma Huang
Bai Guo
Su Zi
Xing Ren
Fa Ban Xia
Kuan Dong Hua
Sang Bai Pi
Huang Qin
Gan Cao







The discrimination between Ding Chuan Tang and Ma Xing Shi Gan Tang will be dealt with separately and the former would be discussed now.   

Both decoctions are suitably formulated for:

  • Cold virus Flu invasion with Hot phlegm trapped deeply and

Each has its way to:

  •  Relief Cough and Ease Asthmatic Condition



Monarch's Herbs




Today I'll be touching on the Monarch's herbs and they are:
  • Ma Huang and Bai Guo

The scientific name for these 2 herbs are:
  • Bai Guo - is better known as Ginkgo Biloba and only the ripened fruit is used.  
  • Ma Huang - please refer to my previous blog on the analysis,

and I'll touch on the topic of Hot phlegm trapped deeply, especially in the Lung.

We begin with the threshold established.


Association to the Specific Meridian Channel



Bai Guo is associated with:
  •  Lung Meridian Channel only

and Ma Huang is associated with:

  • Bladder Meridian Channel
  • Lung Meridian Channel


Specific Taste


The specific taste of both herbs are as follow:

  • Bai Guo -  sweetbitter and astringent(puckery)
  • Ma Huang -  slightly bitter


Specific Property


The specific property of both Bai Guo is

  • Moderate

and Ma Huang is 

  • warm

As I've mentioned in (part one) published in August 2021 of this analysis, these are the new terminologies to be used for heaty removal and detoxification:

  1. Sweet flavour and Cooling property herbs to clear heaty virus infection
  2. Bitter flavour and cooling property herbs to dissipate heaty virus infection
  3. Bitter flavour and cooling property herbs to clear heaty virus infection
  4. Salty flavour and cooling property herbs to clear heaty virus infection

Apply (GanKuSePingLianFeiPingChuanZhiKe) whenever Bai Guo is used.


Common suitable treatments using Ding Chuan Tang are:

  1. Chronic Bronchitis with yellow phlegm
  2. Bronchial Asthma with yellow phlegm
