Formula Origin

Systematic Differentiation of Warm Pathogen Diseases (1798 AD)

Formula Description

Zeng Ye Cheng Qi Tang is a 5-ingredient Chinese Medicine formula with Ningpo Figwort Roots (Xuan Shen) as a principal ingredient.

 

Invented in 1798 AD, it belongs to the category of formulas that simultaneously attack and tonify. Its main actions are: 1) generates Body Fluids and 2) nourishes the Yin.

 

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 Zeng Ye Cheng Qi Tang is used by TCM practitioners to fight patterns like Yin Deficiency. From a Western Medicine standpoint, such patterns can give rise to a range of conditions such as acute infectious diseases, high fever or constipation for instance.
