Formulas that clear nutritive-level Heat

Main Actions

  • Clears the Nutritive level Heat
  • Relieves Fire Toxin
  • Removes Heat
  • Nourishes Yin

Formula Origin

Systematic Differentiation of Warm Pathogen Diseases (1798 AD)

Formula Description

Qing Ying Tang is a 9-ingredient Chinese Medicine formula with Water Buffalo Horns (Shui Niu Jiao) as a principal ingredient.

 

Invented in 1798 AD, it belongs to the category of formulas that clear nutritive-level Heat. Its main actions are: 1) clears the Nutritive level Heat and 2) relieves Fire Toxin.

 

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 Qing Ying Tang is used by TCM practitioners to fight patterns like Heat in Pericardium, Heat in Nutritive Qi level or Heat in the Blood. From a Western Medicine standpoint, such patterns can give rise to a range of conditions such as encephalitis b, meningitis or typhoid for instance.
