bubble_chart Formula Principles
Prepared Liquorice Root supports stomach qi; Rehmannia, Peony Root, Ophiopogon Tuber, and Donkey-hide Gelatin nourish yin fluids; raw oyster shell and raw turtle carapace, as shell-based substances, subdue yang. The combination of these herbs has the effect of nourishing yin and subduing yang. For cases of heat damaging yin fluids, yin deficiency failing to subdue yang, and internal stirring of liver wind, this formula can be used to prevent convulsive syncope. Even if convulsive syncope has already occurred, it can still be applied.
