This Is How To Analyse The Therapeutic Functions Of The Various Decoctions Part Part Sixty Nine

Hey, I'm back to discuss the next herb, Mai Dong in the list of the 2 minister's herbs for Qing Ying Tang.  

Undoubtedly, the reasons for the selection of Mai Dong as one of the 2 minister's herb are:

  • to subdue cough and even to the extend to heal Hemoptysis 
  • Noted and definitely  would nourish stomach Yin deficiencies resulting in solving xerostomia and related complaints 
  • Eliminate cardacic anxiety and calm insomnia 



Minister's herb

  • Mai Dong



Let's start with the threshold established so far:


Association to a Specific Meridian Channel


Mai Dong is better known as Ophiopogon Japonicus in Latin and only the segmented roots among the fibrous roots are used.  It is associated with:  

  • Lung
  • Stomach
  • Heart - Meridian Channel respectively 



Specific Taste




Mai Dong possesses 3 tastes:
  • Sweet inclined to light bitterness 



Specific Properties




Next, I'll touch on the specific property of 
  • Mai Dong 
which is  slightly Cold.






As a rule of thumb, it is very appropriate to apply:
  • (Ku Gan Han Run Fei Yang Yin Yi Wei Sheng Jing Qing Xing Chu Fan ) 
whenever Mai Dong is used.



I'll leave you now and be back soonest with new herb in the division 4th Officer's catergory.





Best of all,




Xiong
