Formula Origin

Extensive Essentials of Miscellaneous Diseases (1856 AD)

Formula Description

San Zi Yang Qin Tang is a 3-ingredient Chinese Medicine formula with White Mustard Seeds (Bai Jie Zi), Perilla Seeds (Zi Su Zi) and Radish Seeds (Lai Fu Zi) as principal ingredients.

 

Invented in 1856 AD, it belongs to the category of formulas that warm and transform Phlegm-Cold. Its main actions are: 1) directs the Qi downward and 2) transforms Phlegm.

 

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 Zi Yang Qin Tang is used by TCM practitioners to fight patterns like Cold-Phlegm in the Lungs, Cold-Phlegm or Phlegm clogging the Lungs with Qi Stagnation. From a Western Medicine standpoint, such patterns can give rise to a range of conditions such as chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma or emphysema for instance.
