Er Miao San is a 2-ingredient Chinese Medicine formula with Phellodendron Bark (Huang Bo) as a principal ingredient.
Invented in 1481 AD, it belongs to the category of formulas that expel Dampness. Its main actions are: 1) expels Dampness from the Lower Burner and 2) drains Heat from the Lower Burner.
In Chinese Medicine health conditions are thought to arise due to "disharmonies" in the body as a system. These disharmonies are called "patterns" and the very purpose of herbal formulas is to fight them in order to restore the body's harmony.
In this case Er Miao San is used by TCM practitioners to fight patterns like Damp-Heat or Damp-Heat in the Lower Burner. From a Western Medicine standpoint, such patterns can give rise to a range of conditions such as menstrual cramps, osteoarthritis or gout for instance.
