Hey, I'm back to discuss the next herb, Xuan Shen in the list of the 2 minister's herbs for Qing Ying Tang. So there are only 2 monarch's herbs and 4 fourth division officer's with one messenger's herb in this formula.
Obviously, the reasons for the selection of Xuan Shēn as one of the 2 minister's herb are:
- 1) Xuan Shen is also similar to Sheng Di, using its primary property being salty and bitter to:
- to disperse and clear heaty virus infections
- Can Subside high feverish temperature except it is better known for nourishing the scorched as well as depleted Yin
- Eliminate rashes and Carbuncles
