bubble_chart Formula Principles

Diseases caused by summerheat dampness should be treated by clearing summerheat and eliminating dampness. In the formula, Talc is cold in nature and bland in taste; its coldness can clear heat, and its blandness can eliminate dampness, allowing the dampness-heat of the triple energizer to be expelled through urination. A small amount of Liquorice Root is added to harmonize the middle qi. When paired with Talc, it has the effect of engendering liquid with sweet-cold properties, promoting urination without harming body fluids. The combination of these two herbs achieves the function of clearing summerheat and eliminating dampness.
