Explanation

This formula has a stronger effect than the previous one in clearing Damp-Heat and Fire-Poison
and is therefore used when there is a profuse sticky-yellow or purulent nasal discharge.

• Xin Yi Hua and Bai Zhi direct the prescription to the nose and sinuses. They also expel
  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.


• Huang Qin, Zhi Zi and Long Dan Cao resolve Damp-Heat.


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


• Gua Lou resolves Phlegm-Heat.


• Chuan Xiong expels Wind.
