bubble_chart Formula Principles
Antelope horn clears heat and extinguishes wind, lowering fire and calming wind, thus preventing the upward reversal of qi and blood and stopping pain and fainting; Rhinoceros horn clears the heart and opens the orifices, clearing heat and expelling pathogens, thus preventing the disturbance of the mind and gradually restoring consciousness. Both herbs are the main components. Beizi powder disperses heat accumulation and benefits the orifices, while Cimicifuga Rhizome resolves heat toxins and disperses wind pathogens, both assisting Antelope horn and Rhinoceros horn in clearing heat, removing toxins, extinguishing wind, and promoting resuscitation, serving as auxiliary components in the formula. Although there are only four herbs, their effects are focused and rapid, making this formula essential for heat disturbing the pericardium, unconsciousness, and delirious speech.
