This is How To Analyse The Therapeutic Functions Of The Various Decoctions part sixty eight

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








Minister's herb

  • Xuan Shen



Let's start with the threshold established so far:


Association to a Specific Meridian Channel


Xuan Shen is better known as Scrophularia Ningpoensis in Latin and only the root is used.  It is associated with:  

  • Lung
  • Stomach
  • Kidney - Meridian Channel respectively 



Specific Taste




Xuan Shēn possesses 3 tastes:
  • Salty-sweet inclined to bitterness 



Specific Properties




Next, I'll touch on the specific property of 
  • Xuan Shen 
which is Cold.






As a rule of thumb, it is very appropriate to apply:
  • (Ku Xian Gan Han Qing Re Jie Du Yang Yin ) 
whenever Xuan Shen is used.




I'll leave you now and be back soonest with new herb in the minister's catergory.





Best of all,




Xiong
