How To Analyse The Therapeutic Functions Of The Various Decoctions Part Twenty Two

 

Hey, I'm back to discuss the discrimination between 

  • Yin Qiao San and 
  • San Ju Yin 

and I feel so excited, do you?  Time flies, don't they? We've done quite a bit and learned more in-depth about TCM.  Anyway, without delay, let's move on.

This is how to analyse the therapeutic function of the various decoction. (part 22)

Messenger's Herb - Gan Cao

Once again, I need not have to analyse the therapeutic function of the various decoction repeatedly, in this case, there is only one herb to be used, the:

  • Gan Cao

Verdict Revelation


The differentiation between the two decoctions:
  • Yin Qiao San and
  • Sang Ju Yin
is very straightforward.  These are the common herbs found in both decoctions:
  • Lian Qiao
  • Jie Geng
  • Bo He
  • Lu Gen
  • Gan Cao
And the difference between them is Yin Qiao San has these other herbs:
  • Jin Yin Hua - Gan Liang Tou Xie Qing Re
  • Jing Jie Sui - Xin Wen Tou Zhen Jie Du
  • Dou Chi - Xin Gan Jie Biao Chu Fan
  • Niu Bang Zi - Xin Han Tou Zhen Li Yan 
  • Zhu Ye - Gan Han Qing Re Chu Fan Li Niao
With Sang Ju Yin has these other herbs:
  • Sang Ye - Gan Ku Liang Qing Re-Run Hou Ming Mu
  • Ju Hua - Xin Gan Ku Liang Qing Re Xiao Yan Ming Mu
  • Xing Ren - Gan Ku Wen Chu Fan Qing Xin Huo Run Fei Zhi Ke Jiang Qi
The direct explanations of all those functions of individual herbs in (red) are found in my previous blogs.  The only difference for Jing Jie Sui found in Yin Qiao San is; that it has a lukewarm property that passes unnoticeable yet formidable in the whole decoctionThen, why is Jing Jie Sui being used instead of any other herbs?  The underlining reason being it can rise and combine effectively with Jin Yin Hua and Lian Qiao to vent through the hot wind flu invasion from the interior to the surface and out of the body in the TCM perspective.  The rest of the 4 other herbs would complement each other in:
  • Relieving heat accumulated flu
  • Eliminating carbuncle

Therefore Yin Qiao San is earmarked to be effective and inclined to:

  • remove heat  
  • relieve symptoms such as running nose, sore throat and rashes.

Next, I'll analyse the 3 simple herbs in Sang Ju Yin which have one similarity to Yin Qiao San; the lukewarm property of Xing Ren.  However, the other 2 properties are Gan(sweet) and Ku(bitter) and their combination would lubricate the Lung and remove the heat from the Heart.  The rest of the 2 herbs combined effectively  to complement each other as follows:
  • Sang Ye lubricates the throat
  • Ju Hua reduces inflammation      
with Xing Ren relieving the cough.

Therefore Sang Ju Yin is earmarked to be effective and inclined to:

  • Ease and drop cough

As I mentioned before, the decision to apply Yin Qiao San  depends on the observation of  the child with the following symptoms:
  • fever
  • headache
  • wind swelling 

Or use Sang Ju Yin when the child is observed with:
  • sore throat 
  • cough





The words (Jie Biao) in the above picture are found in all TCM contemporary as well as classical books which means resolving the superficial symptoms observed like running nose, coughing, sore throat, feverish temperature, etc.
I'll leave you now so that you would have more time to digest this blog and other references.

I had completed the treatment for cold and hot wind virus invasion in the TCM perspective.  The next blog would be the new chapter on:
  • Flu with Cold phlegm trapped deeply and
  • How to Relief Cough and Ease Asthmatic Condition
      
by warming the lung and dispersing the cold, dissolving the deep phlegm and relieving the asthmatic condition.  Treatment formulas are:
  • Xiao Qing Long Tang
  • She Gan Ma Huang Tang






Best of all,








Xiong
