Hey, I'm back to kickoff the next formula in the series as we had done quite a bit in the previous months.  As usual, the last 2 herbs for the Xiao Ru Wan are:

1. Chen Pi  and 
2. Gan Cao

of which we had analysed them and is very useful if all of you can revise them on your own.

• primarily, it would coordinate and slow down the strong effect of monarch and minister herbs like that of Gan Cao.   
• 
  
• Gan Cao: -
• 
  
• directing the various medicinal power of individual herb to the infected organs to start the healing process.  (In association with a Specific Meridian Channel)
• reconcile and harmonise the effects of various herbs to a moderate and digestive level.

So, today I'm going to touch on the new formula called Zhi Shi Dao Zhi Wan.

It comprises of the following 8 herbs:

Da Huang
