INDICATIONS: Syndrome of the stomach-heat with yin deficiency manifested by fever with thirst, toothache,
headache, odontoseisis with gingival hemorrhage, red tongue with yellow and dry coating; or consumptive thirst marked
by eating much yet ever feeling hungry.
ANALYSIS OF FORMULA: This is a common formula for toothache and gingival hemorrhage due to exuberance of
the stomach fire with deficiency of the kidney water. Shi Gao (Gypsum) is the main herb medicine to purge the
stomach-fire and promote generation of body fluid and quench thirst. Shu Di Huang (Prepared rehmannia root) is the
assistant herb to strengthen the kidney yin for restraining fire. As the adjuvant herbs, Zhi Mu (anemarrhena rhizome) can
help Shi Gao (gypsum) clear the stomach and quench thirst; Mai Dong (ophiopogon root) can assist prepared Shu Di
Huang (rehmannia) in nourishing yin to moisten dryness. Niu Xi (Cyathula root) acts as the dispatcher herb to strengthen
not only the liver and kidney but also bones and tendons, as well as conducting the blood heat downwards.
