Herbal Treatment

Prescriptions

Huang Lian Ejiao Tang
(Coptis-Gelatinum Corii Asini Decoction)

Huang Lian Rhizoma Coptidis 3 g

Huang Qin Radix Scutellariae baicalensis 9 g

Bai Shao Radix Paeoniae albae 9 g

Ji Zi Huang Egg yolk 2 yolks

E Jiao Gelatinum Corii Asini 9 g

Explanation

• Huang Lian and Huang Qin clear Heat and calm irritability.


• Bai Shao and Ji Zi Huang nourish Liver-Yin. Bai Shao calms the Mind and "absorbs"
  the Ethereal Soul into Liver-Yin. It is coordinated with Huang Lian: this clears Heat and
  prevents injury of Yin by Heat, whilst Bai Shao nourishes Yin and prevents this from
  harbouring Empty-Heat.
