  • Improves throat
  • Resolves toxicity
  • Clears the Lungs

Formula Origin

Jade Key to Layered Stories (the 18th century)

Formula Description

Yang Yin Qing Fei Tang is a 8-ingredient Chinese Medicine formula with Unprepared Rehmannia (Sheng Di Huang) as a principal ingredient.

 

Invented in the 18th century, it belongs to the category of formulas that enrich Yin and moisten Dryness. Its main actions are: 1) nourishes the Yin and 2) improves throat.

 

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 Yang Yin Qing Fei Tang is used by TCM practitioners to fight patterns like Lung Yin Deficiency. From a Western Medicine standpoint, such patterns can give rise to a range of conditions such as diphtheria, tonsillitis or pharyngitis for instance.
