bubble_chart Formula Principles
The scrofula treated by this formula is caused by the deficiency of liver and kidney yin, and the stagnation of liver fire, which scorches the body fluids into phlegm. In the formula, Scrophularia Root clears heat, enriches yin, cools blood, and dissipates masses; oyster shell softens hardness and dissipates masses; Fritillaria Bulb clears heat and resolves phlegm. The combination of these three herbs can restore yin, eliminate heat, resolve phlegm, and dissipate masses, thereby naturally eliminating scrofula. It can also be used for subcutaneous nodules and goiters caused by the accumulation of phlegm and fire.
