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

Hey, I'm back to discuss today's new subject on the new another half of the discrimination which is: 

  • Xiao Qing Long Tang   

We're still on the same topic:

  • Cold phlegm trapped deeply and

The rest is to juggle on the individual herb to:

  •  Relief Cough and Ease Asthmatic Condition

This is how to analyse the therapeutic functions of the various decoctions. (part 27)

These are the individual herbs constituting the decoction;

  • Xiao Qing Long Tang

Ma Huang  

Gui Zhi

Gan Jiang

Xi Xin

Wu Wei Zi

Shao Yao

Fa Ban Xia

Gan Cao




Today I'll be touching on the Monarch's herbs in this decoction and they are:


Monarch's Herbs - Gui Zhi and Ma Huang


As it's already passed a certain reasonable time, it becomes very appropriate to revise with you now.


Association to the Specific Meridian Channel



Gui Zhi is associated with:
  •  Lung 
  • Heart
  • Bladder - Meridian Channels respectively
and Ma Huang is associated with:

  • Bladder 
  • Lung - Meridian Channels respectively 


Specific Taste


The specific taste of both herbs are as follow:

  • Gui Zhi -   pungent and sweet
  • Ma Huang -  pungent  and a little bitter


Specific Property


The specific property of both Gui Zhi and Ma Huang is 

  • warm

Apply (Xin Wen Jie Biao Ping Chuan San Jie) whenever Ma Huang is used.

Apply (Xin Wen Zhi Tong Zhi Ke Ping Chuan San Jie) whenever Gui Zhi is used.

Next development - Shadow of new decoction

At this junction, it has come to a point that you would discover some new formula, have you?  And it becomes imperative that I should show you how.  The new development is to sidetrack a little so that you would not feel the difficulties in learning Traditional Chinese Medicine.

What is the Shadow of New Decoction?  

Just before I explain that, let me relate the proactive thinking of the Shadow.  Normally it needs some prerequisites; 

  • a reasonable lapse of time to develop some understanding of certain herbs with the threshold established 

to discover this shadow.

Shadow means the image of another formula discovered and plays its role in the current formula.  So there is a shadow of Gui Zhi Tang in the Larger decoction, Xiao Qing Long Tang.  Although there is a slight variation in one herb of the Gui Zhi Tang, it does not affect the main monarch's herbs from performing their function for the whole decoction. Is so far ok and can comprehend?

The difference between Sheng Jiang and Gan Jiang lies in the process of drying up the Sheng Jiang or better known as raw ginger resulting in specific properties of the former as 

  • warm 

and the latter as 

  • hot.

In our topic today, Xiao Qing Long Tang uses 

  • Gan Jiang 

and Gui Zhi Tang uses 

  • Sheng Jiang.  

Therefore the adoption of Gan Jiang into Gui Zhi Tang becomes secondary importance and I'll discuss the function of Gui Zhi Tang in Xiao Qing Long later in my next blog.  This would clear all doubt and confusion caused.

Xiao Qing Long Tang is dedicated to treatments when:

  • Observed that there is No perspiration
  • Wheezing sound detected in the throat with much light and thin phlegm
  • Asthmatic conditions worsen when reclined
  • Body ache detected
  • Light oedema observed







Best of all,






Xiong
