Huang qin is one of the few herbs that enter the so-called "pivot" of the body.

Detoxifying since 220 AD. Huang Qin Tang (Scutellaria Decoction) is a simple modification of the #1 formula in Shang Han Lun style Chinese herbalism. The Shang Han Lun (Treatise on Cold Injury) is one of the key Chinese medicine “bibles” (or “classics” as the Chinese say). Huang Qin Tang is pronounced “wong chin tong“.

About this formula

Recently studied as a digestive aid called PHY906 (Huang Qin Tang) in those undergoing Western drug therapy.

Huang Qin Tang was traditionally used for detoxifying the intestines when resulting in burning crampy diarrhea with a strong odor. However it was not assumed that this diarrhea was due to an infection in the intestines, rather a toxicity issue in other locations of the body, specifically the “Shao Yang pivot.”

Astragalus and Siler Formula (Yu Ping Feng San)

huang.qi .96 Astragalus and Siler Formula (Yu Ping Feng San)

Astragalus root is all about immunity, but that includes skin functions too.

Notes: This formula’s name suggests that, like a screen door, good air can pass through, but insects remain outside. This formula isn’t about repelling insects exactly, but it is about forming a screen to keep out other problems carried by the wind.

It also promotes appropriate skin functions such as sweating. If you sweat inappropriately, and have more than four colds or flus per year, this is a great formula for you. Continue reading »

mu.xiang .96 Top Quality Lindera Powder (Tian Tai Wu Yao San)

Mu Xiang is an aromatic wood that regulates the nervous system's pain sensitivity.

Notes: this particular formula has been modified for the treatment of lower back discomfort, middle back discomfort, lower abdominal discomfort or discomfort in the scrotum that is improved by warmth and/or aggravated by cold. Some report a sensation of cold associated with this kind of pain, others describe a pulling or twisting sensation in the testicles that can arise quite suddenly while enjoying lunch with friends in a public restaurant leaving you unable to rearrange things downstairs, though when you finally are able to surreptitiously shift the contents in your pants, you find that it didn’t even help — but I digress…

shan.yao .96 Restore the Left (Kidney) Pill (Zuo Gui Wan)

Shan yao is a Chinese yam supports reproductive, digestive, and respiratory systems.

Alternative Names

  • Zuo Gui Wan

In ancient Chinese medicine texts, the body fluids are said to arise from the left Kidney. Hence, to “restore the left” means to hydrate the body or at least support the Kidney functions to that end.

The Kidneys are the body’s “root of yin and yang” or fluids and metabolic heat. Together, they create Kidney qi which is the many functions of the Kidneys and the precursor of other forms of energy and organ functions in the body.

Symptoms of a weakness of the left Kidney are called “Kidney Yin Deficiency” in modern Chinese medicine. Think “dehydration”. However, it isn’t always good enough to simply drink more fluids. This formula is really about fluid metabolism, which is what prevents losing all your body fluids through the urination. So this formula supports the functions of your kidneys that limit your fluid loss. Biomedicine calls that “reuptake” where the kidneys reabsorb much of the fluid that passes through, and creates much less urine for excretion.

Alternative Names

  • You Gui Wan

“Restore the Right Pill” is a reference to an ancient theory that the Yang-warmth of the body comes from the right Kidney (while the yin-fluids come from the left.)

The Kidney yang-warmth in the body looks like metabolic heat in modern medicine. However, the Kidney yang is associated with many other specific function in Chinese medicine such as the muscular strength of the lower back and knees, libido, fertility, fluid metabolism and urinary functions, and even some immunity functions.
