This is how to analyse the therapeutic functions of the various decoctions Part Eighty.

Hey, I'm back to congratulate everyone to have had used Google engine search and again listed me in the limelight for another Google recognition.


I think this is also related to my systematic approach in the blog analysis and so on.


Reminder 

It's always a very good practice to browse into my earlier blog and revise on the topic to catch up with some missing points that our memories can't store any further.   I reassure you that as long as I'm around, the knowledge will be there in my blogs.

Perhaps you would ask which blogs are of particular interest that you should browse again.  Right,  they are the TCM fundalmentals written much earlier. 



Today, I'm going to move on to how to analyse the therapeutic functions of the various decoctions for the next formula:


Xiao Ji Yin Zi






It comprises of the following herbs:


  1. Xiǎo Ji - monarch's  herb
  2. Pú huáng
  3. Ou jié
  4. Huá shí
  5. Mù tōng
  6. Shēng dì
  7. Zhī zi
  8. Zhú yè
  9. Dāng guī
  10. Zhi gān cǎo


As you may have noticed from the list here, many herbs are repeating from other formula and therefore I'll be analysing;

  • Xiao Ji,
  • Ou Jie,
  • Pu Huang and 
  • Dang Gui, 

please refer to the previous blogs for the rest of the herbs found in this formula.


Comtemporary analysis

The basic chemical composition of Xiao Ji are phenolic acids and flavonoids.  I hope this would enlighten some doubt along the way.


The purposes of this formula as we are still in the (Cooling the heaty blood in the way to Stop the Bleeding) topic, so it's very obvious that it:

  • 1)  is natural powerful remedy for treatment of blood urine.
  • 2)  is appropriate and primarily suitable for eliminating carbuncles



Let's start with the threshold established so far:




Association to a Specific Meridian Channel


Xiao Ji is better known as Cephalanoplos Segetum and only the wholeplant including the underground stem is used. 


Xiao Ji is associated with the: 

Liver

Heart - meridian channels respectively




Specific Taste


Xiao Ji possesses a sweet taste. 




Specific Properties


Next, I'll touch on the specific property of 

Xiao Ji

which is cold.



  
As a rule of thumb, it is very appropriate to apply:
(Liang xuè Zhi xūe Jie Du Xiao Yong) whenever Xiao Ji is used.



I would like to leave you now with this  blog so as to give you more time to digest it.




Best of all 






Xiong
