Hey, I'm back to commence on the analysis of the Huai Hua San using - ZHI KE
specifically to act as Messenger's herb fulfilling the fundamental requirements. Please revise the messenger's herb fundalmentals and you would understand it, is half the rent paid.
Although Jing Jie Sui as the 2nd minister's herb would not be analysed here, it's still necessary to put up it's purpose in this formula. So,
- Jing Jie Sui is able to expel the wind while entering the Xue level to stop bleeding in the TCM perspective
And now, without further delay, I'll analyse the therapeutic functions of Zhi Ke in this decoction
- besides performing its primary role to aid the Monarch's herb in cooling the blood stream
- as well as remove Qi blockages effectively in the TCM perspective.
- Effectively eliminate rectal Tenesmus
The reasons for selection of Zhi Ke as the Messenger's herb:
- 1) to remove effectively Qi blockage targeting the complaint of feeling being bloated by the child primarily
- 2) act as alleviative catalyst for the whole decoction( only near ripen orange)
- 3) can dissolve phlegm enabling smoother Qi passage in the TCM perspective
Let's start with the threshold established so far:
Association to a Specific Meridian Channel
Zhi Ke must be the nearly ripen orange of aurantium or wilsonii tanaka or trifoliata orange species to be used. This is because of the mitigating and alleviative effect of the medicinal property verse the unripe type.
Zhi Ke is associated with the:
- Spleen
- Stomach
- Large Intestine - meridian channels respectively
Specific Taste
Zhi Ke
possesses a much stronger bitter and Astringent taste.
Specific Properties
Next, I'll touch on the specific property of Zhi Ke which is moderate cold.
As a rule of thumb, it is very appropriate to apply:
(Ku Xin Han Pò qì xiāo jī, huà tán chú pǐ)
whenever Zhi Ke is used.

Best of all,
