bubble_chart Efficacy

Publish clarity; purge heat and remove toxins.

bubble_chart Indications

The interior heat of cold-damage disease is already intense, while the exterior pattern remains unresolved. There is high fever without sweating, body heaviness and stiffness, dry nose, thirst, dysphoria, insomnia, unconsciousness, delirious speech, or vomiting, nosebleeds, and skin rashes, with a slippery and rapid pulse.

bubble_chart Formula Principles

This formula is suitable for cases where the exterior pattern persists for a long time without resolution, with pathogenic factors stagnating in the nutrient-defense level. Although it has not yet transmitted to the intestines and stomach to form a fu-organ excess syndrome, it has already developed into a condition of triple energizer heat and intense toxic fire. Therefore, Gypsum, which is pungent, sweet, and Great Cold (24th solar term), is used to resolve depression and discharge heat. It is combined with Ephedra and Fermented Soybean to induce sweating and release the exterior, allowing the pathogenic factors on the surface to be resolved externally. Skullcap Root, Phelloendron Bark, Coptis Rhizome, and Gardenia all have the function of clearing heat and removing toxins. When paired with Gypsum, they help to discharge the triple energizer's heat and fire from the interior. Moreover, Ephedra, Gardenia, and Fermented Soybean, when combined with Gypsum and the three yellows (Skullcap Root, Phelloendron Bark, Coptis Rhizome), release the exterior without promoting interior heat. The three yellows, Gypsum, and Gardenia, when combined with Ephedra and Fermented Soybean, clear heat without neglecting the treatment of the exterior. Therefore, this formula is an excellent remedy for diseases involving both the exterior and interior, as well as triple energizer heat and fire.
