bubble_chart Formula Principles
In the formula, Ephedra opens the pores and induces sweating, Cassia Central Bark promotes blood circulation and transforms sweat, Peony Root harmonizes the interior and benefits the nutrient qi, Skullcap Root clears heat from the upper and middle energizers, Rhubarb Rhizoma purges heat from the middle and lower energizers, Liquorice Root regulates the stomach and harmonizes the middle. Since pestilential heat in epidemic diseases spreads from the interior to the exterior, which is different from cold-damage diseases that transmit from the exterior to the interior, even in the early stages of one or two days, both sweating and purging methods can be applied simultaneously.
