Folio Bound VIEWS - Chinese Medicine

• Fang Feng has an ascending and floating movement and is used to make hidden Heat
  float towards the Exterior to be cleared. Bitter-cold herbs (such as Zhi Zi) on their own
  have a clearing and descending movement. Whilst a descending movement is appropriate
  to clear normal Heat, it is not enough to clear hidden residual Heat, which is the type of
  Heat this prescription is used for. Furthermore, Fang Feng's ascending movement
  balances the descending movement of Shi Gao and Zhi Zi, and prevents this from
  injuring the Spleen.


• Huo Xiang fragrantly awakens the Spleen and its ascending-floating movement helps
  Fang Feng to draw the hidden residual Heat out.


• Gan Cao resolves Poison and harmonizes the Middle.

This prescription is specific to clear hidden residual Heat in the Stomach and Spleen after an
invasion of Wind-Heat. Its main manifestations are mouth ulcers, foul breath, thirst, dry mouth
and lips, a Red tongue and a Rapid pulse.
