Formula Origin

Discussion of Cold Damage (220 AD)

Formula Description

Zhu Ye Shi Gao Tang is a 7-ingredient Chinese Medicine formula with Gypsum (Shi Gao) as a principal ingredient.

 

Invented in 220 AD, it belongs to the category of formulas that clear Qi-level Heat. Its main actions are: 1) clears Heat and 2) generates Body Fluids.

 

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.

 

From a Western Medicine standpoint, such patterns can give rise to a range of conditions such as pneumonia, encephalitis b or meningitis for instance.
