Hey, I'm back to start òn the next analysis of the first herb in our new formula:
ZHU SHA AN SHEN WAN
and is none other than the herb;
Zhu Sha
The reasons why Zhu Sha is selected as a monarch's herb in this formula are:
A) The sedative property of Zhu Sha, therefore is sufficient to calm and pacify a frightened child turning a little jerky in the TCM perspective pertaining to Zhu Sha An Shen Wan. A low dose of Zhu San is Sedative found through many investigations and caution is needed in using it because of its mercuric content.
B) The cold property of Zhu Sha can effectively eliminate insomnia and related symptoms caused by heated up energy that scorched the heart causing blood Yin deficiency. (Refer to pulse reading below)
Pulse reading in TCM perspective
Over here, it's just time and necessary to introduce some fine points of TCM diagnosis because we had reach the next level of TCM fundamentals to be implanted.
So the correct method in aligning the 3 fingers to read the 28 different types or more variations of pulse reading is:
The index finger placed closer to the wristline with your palm up, look at the area between your wrist bone and the tendon on the thumb side of your wrist. The next 2 fingers placed in line with the index horizontally. Radial pulse can be taken on either wrist.
Use the tip of the index,third and ring fingers to feel the pulse in the radial artery.
So, the question on why and how to know whether the heart is being heated-up to a intense degree causing Yin blood to deficit or better described as used up in this case, are depicted by reading this pulse correctly.
You should get:
A thin amplitude and fast reading coupled with red tongue especially at the tip confirm the above.
Amplitude and fast are 2 main issues here. It is just a little technical here, I assure you that over time you would get it slowly and gradually.
Amplitude inshort refers to thickness and anything above 4 beats on one breath of YOU is fast.
Relief Shock and Resuscitation
We are still within the perimeter of the above and not drift away.
Association to a Specific Meridian Channel
Zhu Sha is an ore and more commonly known as hexagonal cinnabar.
It is associated with:
- Heart - Meridian Channel only
Specific Taste

Specific Properties

As for the rule of thumb:
Apply (Zhèn Xīn An Shén, Qīng Rè Jiě Dú) whenever Zhu Sha is used.
I'll stop here and let you have more time to digest them and no vomitting.
Best of all,
Xiong
