This is how to analyse the therapeutic functions of the various decoctions Part Eighty One

 

Hey,  I'm back to commence on the analysis of the Xiao Ji Yin Zi, using 

• Pú huáng

• Ou jié 

specifically to act as minister's herbs directly fuelling the desired reactions to stop bleeding, very well noted for its peculiar Astringent and hemostatic effect in the TCM perspective.  So, without further delay, let's dive in to the analysis.

Pollen

You may like to jot down this herb, Pu Huang, as it is the first type of it's kind as a pollen being used.  

The first of the 2 minister's herbs which is:

• Pu Huang(minister) - besides performing its primary role to aid the Monarch's herb in cooling the blood stream 
• as well as remove blood stasis effectively in the TCM perspective. 

 

This is how to Analyse The Therapeutic Functions Of The Various Decoctions part 81. 

The reasons for selection of Pu Huang as the minister's herb is:

• 1) a regulative remedy for bleeding(haemorrhagic) as well as Post-partum stasis abdominal pain similar to Dan Shen
• 2) to use its neutral property to assist the monarch's herb purging the heat and wetness out of the body in the TCM perspective. 

Let's start with the threshold established so far:

Association to a Specific Meridian Channel

Pu Huang is better  known as Typha Angustifolia and belongs to the family of Typhaceae and only the pollen is used.

Pu Huang is associated with the: 

• Pericardium  
• Liver  - meridian channels respectively

Specific Taste

Pu Huang possesses a sweet taste.

Specific Properties

Next, I'll touch on the specific property of 

• Pu Huang

which is neutral.

As a rule of thumb, it is very appropriate to apply:

• (Gan Ping Shou Se Zhi Xue Xing Xue Qu Yu) 

whenever Pu Huang is used.

I'll leave you now so that you can link up this blog with the previous ones to digest it effectively.

Best of all,

This is how to analyse the therapeutic functions of the various decoctions Part Eighty.

Hey, I'm back to congratulate everyone to have had used Google engine search and again listed me in the limelight for another Google recognition.

I think this is also related to my systematic approach in the blog analysis and so on.

Reminder 

It's always a very good practice to browse into my earlier blog and revise on the topic to catch up with some missing points that our memories can't store any further.   I reassure you that as long as I'm around, the knowledge will be there in my blogs.

Perhaps you would ask which blogs are of particular interest that you should browse again.  Right,  they are the TCM fundalmentals written much earlier. 

Today, I'm going to move on to how to analyse the therapeutic functions of the various decoctions for the next formula:

Xiao Ji Yin Zi

It comprises of the following herbs:

1. Xiǎo Ji - monarch's  herb
2. Pú huáng
3. Ou jié
4. Huá shí
5. Mù tōng
6. Shēng dì
7. Zhī zi
8. Zhú yè
9. Dāng guī
10. Zhi gān cǎo

As you may have noticed from the list here, many herbs are repeating from other formula and therefore I'll be analysing;

• Xiao Ji,
• Ou Jie,
• Pu Huang and 
• Dang Gui, 

please refer to the previous blogs for the rest of the herbs found in this formula.

Comtemporary analysis

The basic chemical composition of Xiao Ji are phenolic acids and flavonoids.  I hope this would enlighten some doubt along the way.

The purposes of this formula as we are still in the (Cooling the heaty blood in the way to Stop the Bleeding) topic, so it's very obvious that it:

• 1)  is natural powerful remedy for treatment of blood urine.
• 2)  is appropriate and primarily suitable for eliminating carbuncles

Let's start with the threshold established so far:

Association to a Specific Meridian Channel

Xiao Ji is better known as Cephalanoplos Segetum and only the wholeplant including the underground stem is used. 

Xiao Ji is associated with the: 

Liver

Heart - meridian channels respectively

Specific Taste

Xiao Ji possesses a sweet taste. 

Specific Properties

Next, I'll touch on the specific property of 

Xiao Ji

which is cold.

  

As a rule of thumb, it is very appropriate to apply:

(Liang xuè Zhi xūe Jie Du Xiao Yong) whenever Xiao Ji is used.

I would like to leave you now with this  blog so as to give you more time to digest it.

Best of all
