Q

Modified Bai Hu Tang

A

Xie Bai Tang

57
Q

Wheezing and coughing due to heat constraining the diffusion and downward-directing of the LU qi.

Treats patterns characterized by heat EXCESS arising either from the contraction of a cold pathogen that has transformed into heat or from excess internal heat.

A

Ma Xing Shi Gan Tang

58
Q

Wheezing and coughing due to heat constraining the diffusion and downward-directing of the LU qi.

LU fire from constraint against a background of yin DEFICIENCY.

A

Xie Bai San

59
Q

Often characterized by a sensation of STEAMING heat in the afternoons, and by skin that is warm to the touch but dry.

A

Xie Bai San

60
Q

Presentations will typically have light sweating and signs of EXCESS heat, such as fever and thirst.

A

Ma Xing Shi Gan Tang

61
Q

Both formulas treat excess fire in the Spleen and Stomach manifesting with symptoms in the face and mouth. This one…

Focuses on resolving toxicity and clearing fire caused by damp-heat in the Stomach that penetrates into the blood. For this reason, the formula combines bitter, cold Coptidis Rhizoma (huang lian) with herbs that cool the blood.

A

Qing Wei San

62
Q

Both formulas treat excess fire in the Spleen and Stomach manifesting with symptoms in the face and mouth. This one…

…focuses on draining lurking heat in the Spleen and Stomach that constrains their yang qi. Therefore, it pairs cold substances that clear the qi with warm and acrid herbs that facilitate the qi dynamic of the middle burner, but avoids bitter and cold herbs like Coptidis Rhi- zoma (huang lian).

A

Xie Huang San

63
Q

Both of these formulas treat toothache and gum problems from Stomach fire. However…

_________________ treats blazing fire caused by damp-heat and toxin. It uses Coptidis Rhizoma (huang lian) as the chief herb to treat the root and follows the inherent momentum of the disorder by using Cimicifugae Rhizoma (sheng rna) to VENT heat to the exterior.

A

Qing Wei San

64
Q

Both of these formulas treat toothache and gum problems from Stomach fire. However…

treats yin deficiency with vigorous fire. This requires a strategy that directs the fire downward, rather than dispersing it. For this reason, it utilizes Achyranthis Radix (Niu Xi) which causes Fire to descend.

A

Yu Niu Jian

65
Q

The differences between these two formulas is a reflection of the differences between their chief herbs.

Gentianae Radix (long dan cao) is more effective than Coptidis Rhizoma (huang lian) in draining fire from the Liver but is unable to harmonize the functions of the Stomach.

A

Long Dan Xie Gan Tang (Gentian Decoction to Drain the Liver) vs. Zuo Jin Wan (Left Metal Pill)

66
Q

Has ingredients that promote the movement of Qi. It is therefore used for conditions with LESS HEAT and toxicity (less BLOOD in the stool) and more Qi stagnation (abdominal pain and tenesmus).

Also has less heat-clearing and toxicity-resolving actions than Bai Tou Weng Tang.

A

Shao Yao Tang

67
Q

Pulsatillae Radix (Bai Tou Weng) is the principal herb in the materia medica for treating dysenteric disorders. It serves as the chief herb in this formula because of its ability to clear damp-heat and resolve fire toxicity from the Large Intestine, especially in the BLOOD LEVEL.

A

Bai Tou Weng Tang
