Explanation

This formula is for Damp-Heat in the Centre, with Heat being pronounced.

• Huang Lian and Hou Po are coordinated: the former is bitter and makes Qi descend, the
  latter is pungent and opens Qi. The combination of the two drains Dampness from the
  Centre.


• Zhi Zi and Dan Dou Chi, which form a prescription by themselves called Zhi Zi Chi
  Tang Gardenia-Soja Decoction, are specific to clear residual Heat and relieve irritability
  deriving from Heat.
