ANALYSIS OF FORMULA: This is a representative formula for treating heat in the nutrient stage. Being salt flavor
and cold nature, Xi Jiao (rhinoceros horn) can clear the nutrient stage and poison and cool blood for dissipating stasis as
well as clearing heart for calming mind; being sweet flavor and cold nature, Di Huang (rehmannia root) can clear the
nutrient stage for cooling blood and nourish yin for promoting generation of body fluid. Both of them act as the main
herbs. As the assistant herbs, Xuan Shen (scrophularia root)and Mai Dong (ophiopogon root) clear heat and nourish
yin. As the adjuvant herbs, Huang Lian (coptis root) clears heart fire; bamboo leaf clear the heart for relieving vexation;
Jin Yin Hua (honeysuckle flower) and Lian Qiao (forsythia fruit) clear heat and poison. They can help the main herbs
dispel heat through the qi stage. Red sage root activates blood and dissipates stasis to prevent coagulation of blood and
heat.

hematosepsis and cerebrovascular accident with the abovementioned symptoms.
