Eleven Ingredient Decoction to Warm the Gall Bladder Posted on October 9, 2012 by Al Stone, L.Ac., DAOM Details of Eleven Ingredient Decoction to Warm the Gall BladderBamboo leaves help clear out the heat that causes anxiety in the Heart.This formula is for anxiety or restlessness, specifically for someone with a thick tongue coating.. This indicates the presence of turbid dampness in the body. This extra fluid causes bloating, edema and perhaps bags beneath the eyes. Dampness also causes stagnation which leads to heat, which rises to the Heart, and that causes anxiety.A note about this “Warm the Gall Bladder” name. Since this formula clears heat, it seems like this is actually an eleven ingredient decoction FOR a warm gall bladder. Obviously, nobody asked me about how to best translate the name from Chinese into English.More importantly, this formula has at its base an important seven-herb combination used for dampness in the digestive tract with heat in the heart (which then causes restlessness, anxiety and insomnia). This Warm the Gall Bladder Combination is actually another modification on a damp-resolving formula known as Citrus and Pinellia Combination. Chinese medicine formulas tend to build on past successes.Alternative NamesShi Yi Wei Wen Dan Tang Continue reading »Availability status: in stockOrder Eleven Ingredient Decoction to Warm the Gall Bladder100 grams powder (no capsules) @ $30.00200 grams powder (no capsules) @ $50.00100 grams powder (200 capsules) @ $40.00Bulk discount: 200 grams powder (no capsules): buy 4 get 1 free @ $200.00Bulk discount: 100 grams powder (200 capsules): buy 4 get 1 free @ $160.00 Qty:

Tokoro Formula from the Cheng Clan (Cheng Shi Bei Xie Fen Qing Yin) Posted on July 18, 2012 by Al Stone, L.Ac., DAOM Details of Tokoro Formula from the Cheng ClanNo matter how hard I try, just can’t make this Bei Xie herb pretty.Wet dreams are a normal part of a young man’s reproductive growth. It is messy, but the dreams themselves can’t be beat. So if you’re under the age of 21 and still have one or two reasons to change your pajamas per month, you’re good. You’ll grow out of it. If you’re having more than one or two nocturnal emissions, keep reading.If you’re over 21 and want to address this concern, keep reading.It you’ve arrived at this page hoping to induce a wet dream, I can’t help you with that. Back to the search engines with you!Alternative NamesCheng Shi Bei Xie Fen Qing YinDr. Cheng’s Dioscorea Hypoglauca Decoction to Separate the Clear程氏萆解分清飲Tokoro Drink to Separate the Clear (from Awakening of the Mind in Medical Studies – 1732 CE) modifiedAbout this formula: this is a modification of Bei Xie Fen Qing Yin which is famous for “seperating the clear from the turbid”. That’s generally a reference to addressing cloudy urine. However with a few modifications, it is an excellent approach for nocturnal emissions due to damp-heat.Damp-heat arises more easily in young men who run hot to begin with. As an example of this “running hot” notice how young people are perfectly comfortable in chilly weather wearing nothing more than a t-shirt while older people bundle up. In our youth, and especially adolescence, “yang qi is exhuberant”. Yang qi is body heat, emotional passion, hormones, etc.Damp-heat can originate externally too. Hot humid weather is a good example, but more often, especially among young men, is the damp-heat that arises from a fast-food diet. If it’s deep-fried or causes obesity, you can pretty much assume that it is a generator of damp-heat internally in young men. Beer and alcohol also cause damp-heat.

Tang-Kuei and Arctium Formula (xiao feng san) Posted on June 22, 2012 by Al Stone, L.Ac., DAOM Details of Tang-kuei and Arctium FormulaDang gui helps nourish the "Liver blood", a precursor to skin moisturizing oil.Alternative NamesWind Dispersing Powderxiao feng sanhsiao feng sansyuhu sanshofusanThis formula does four things that all support healthy skin. They work together to address the internal organs as well as the external skin.The four treatment principles inherent in this formula include the following:Nourish the blood to moisturize the skin.This is often the root cause of rashes or dry skin. “Nourishing the blood” doesn’t necessarily mean that you have anemia. The secretions of oil in the skin are considered a subset of the blood. So dry skin is addressed through the blood.Extinguish wind to eliminate itching.When “wind” is said to enter the skin, it may produce the sensation of an insect crawling on the skin, or simply cause itching. This formula includes a few herbs to “extinguish wind” for this reason.Dry damp to address wet or weeping rashes.Dampness arises from a fluid metabolism disregulation in the body. When you are humid inside, it is easy for oozing rashes and sores to arise in your skin. Some itchy rashes also feel wet after you scratch them. This too is dampness.Clear heat to protect the blood and remove redness.Whenever we see redness on the body, we assume that there is “heat” involved. Usually red things are warm to the touch too. So, another goal with red rashes is to locate the heat and remove it.
