Explanation


This formula has a stronger effect than the previous one in clearing Damp-Heat and Fire-Poison

    Wind.

  • Chai Hu, Jing Jie, Bo He, Jie Geng and Ma Huang expel Wind and restore the
    dispersing and descending of Lung-Qi. Chai Hu and Jie Geng also direct the other herbs
    upwards.

  • Yu Xing Cao and Jin Yin Hua resolve Fire-Poison.
