Formulas that clear Heat and expel dampness

Main Actions

  • Clears Damp-Heat
  • Disseminates the Qi
  • Facilitates the Qi mechanisms

Formula Origin

Systematic Differentiation of Warm Pathogen Diseases (1798 AD)

Formula Description

San Ren Tang is a 8-ingredient Chinese Medicine formula with Apricot Seeds (Xing Ren), Cardamon Fruits (Bai Dou Kou) and Job's Tears (Yi Yi Ren) as principal ingredients.

 

Invented in 1798 AD, it belongs to the category of formulas that clear Heat and expel dampness. Its main actions are: 1) clears Damp-Heat and 2) disseminates the Qi.

 

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 San Ren Tang is used by TCM practitioners to fight patterns like Dampness in the Gallbladder. From a Western Medicine standpoint, such patterns can give rise to a range of conditions such as typhoid, pyelonephritis or hepatitis for instance.
