Main Actions

  • Disperses Wind
  • Stops coughing by invigorating Lung Qi
  • Clears Heat

Formula Origin

Systematic Differentiation of Warm Pathogen Diseases (1798 AD)

Formula Description

Sang Ju Yin is a 8-ingredient Chinese Medicine formula with Mulberry Leaves (Sang Ye) and Chrysanthemum Flowers (Ju Hua) as principal ingredients.

 

Invented in 1798 AD, it belongs to the category of formulas that clear Wind-Heat. Its main actions are: 1) disperses Wind and 2) stops coughing by invigorating Lung 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 Sang Ju Yin is used by TCM practitioners to fight patterns like Wind-Heat or Toxic-Heat. From a Western Medicine standpoint, such patterns can give rise to a range of conditions such as common cold, influenza or bronchitis for instance.
