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
- Lung
- Large Intestine - Meridian Channels respectively
- (Xin Wen Zhi Ke Ping Chuan Run Chang Tong Bian)
- the pungent or spicy taste
- warming effect
- Lubricate the intestine to ease constipation
- Ease asthma and subdue cough
Specific Properties
- Su Zi
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
- why use this herb and not another
- how to use which herb and not another,
- what to choose and apply which herb and not another
- 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.
