Bai Shao Radix Paeoniae albae 9 g

Sheng Jiang Rhizoma Zingiberis officinalis recens 9 g

Da Zao Fructus Ziziphi jujubae 3 dates

Zhi Gan Cao Radix Glycyrrhizae uralensis praeparata 6 g

Explanation

• Gui Zhi is pungent and releases the Exterior.


• Bai Shao is sour and absorbing and nourishes Nutritive Qi. The combination of Gui Zhi
  and Bai Shao expels Wind by harmonizing Defensive and Nutritive Qi. The slight
  sweating is a symptom of deficiency of Nutritive Qi.


• Sheng Jiang and Da Zao perform the same function as Gui Zhi and Bai Shao
  respectively and they therefore help the first two to harmonize Nutritive and Defensive
  Qi.


• Gan Cao harmonizes.

This formula is used if there are symptoms of Wind-Cold with slight sweating.
