Hey, I'm back to discuss with you the effect of the messenger's herb. Very excited and interesting, I need to remind everyone that we are still on the same topic(Ding Chuan Tang) on the removal of hot phlegm caused by a cold virus.
Normally, it is common to use
- Gan Cao
to regulate the whole decoction to become more digestive to be absorbed by the child.
The threshold analysis on Gao Cao can be referred to in my earlier blog and so it wouldn't be explained here.
As our present topic is to
- dissolve hot sticky phlegm
- (Xin Ku Wen Fa Han Ping Chuan Li Shui) whenever Ma Huang is used.
- (Xin Wen Zhi Ke Ping Chuan Run Chang Tong Bian) whenever Su Zi is used.***
- (Xin Wen Hua Tan Zhi Ke Zhi Tu San Jie) whenever Fa Ban Xia is used***
- (Xin Wen Zhi Ke Hua Tan) whenever Kuan Dong Hua is used.***
- (Ku Wen Chu Fan Qing Xin Huo Jiang Qi******whenever North Xing Ren is used.
- (Gan Wen Run Fei Zhi Ke)***Whenever South Xing Ren is used
- (Gan Ku Se Ping Lian Fei Ping Chuan Zhi Ke) whenever Bai Guo is used***
- (Gan Han Xie Fei Ping Chuan Li Niao Xiao Zhong) whenever Sang Bai Pi is used.******
- (Ku Han Qing Re Cao Shi Zhi Xue An Tai) whenever Huang Qin is used.***
- Zhi Ke Ping Chuan- Su Zi
- Hua Tan Zhi Ke - Fa Ban Xia
- Zhi Ke Hua Tan - Kuan Dong Hua
- Run Fei Zhi Ke - South Xing Ren
- Ping Chuan Zhi Ke - Bai Guo
- Ping Chuan - Sang Bai Pi
- Ping Chuan- Ma Huang
- Ma Huang disperses the lungs which opposes the effect of Bai Guo astringing the lung's air path but inturn complementing each other to calm asthma.
- The former disperses but the latter astringes, depicting the opposite effect.
- The minister's herbs would astringe the flow of Qi (Qi flow must not surge upwards causing choke or force airflow in the wrong path and direction)
- Dissolving hot phlegm;
- Sang Bai Pi and Huang Qin would clear the heat accumulated in the lungs.
Once again, I'll leave you now so that you can digest this blog with more time and get prepared for the next new decoction.
Xiong,
Best of all
