rapid pulse but feeble in deep touch.
ANALYSIS OF FORMULA: This is a common formula for strengthening the genuine and relieving the exterior. Qiang Huo
(Notopterygium root) and Du Huo (pubescent angelica root) act as the main herbs to dispel wind and dampness for
relieving the exterior and pain as well as reaching meridians of all the body. Chai Hu (Bupleurum root) and Bo He
(peppermint) can expel evils and relieve muscles; Chunan Xiong (chuanxiong rhizome) activates blood for expelling
wind. They act as the assistant herbs. As the adjuvant herbs, Jie Geng (platycodon root) and Zhi Qiao (bitter orange) can
soothe the chest and regulate qi with functions of both ascending and descending; Qian Hu (peucedanum root) disperses
the lung for expelling phlegm; Fu Ling (poria)and Shen Jiang (fresh ginger) can strengthen the spleen to resolve phlegm;
Hong Shen (ginseng strengthens) the genuine qi for expelling wind, cold and dampness evils through sweating. Gan Cao
(Licorice root) acts as the dispatcher herb to harmonize all the components and to tonify qi for harmonizing the middle.
This formula is originally set for infants. Because of insufficiency of the primordial qi in infants, small dosage of
ginseng is used to invigorate it. Afterwards, it was effectively used for cases of senile patient, postpartum or
constitutional deficiency with the exterior syndrome caused by exogenous wind, cold and dampness evils. It was also
applied by Jiayan Yu, a famous practitioner in Qing Dynasty, to treating the beginning of dysentery with the exterior
syndrome. The medicinal property of this formula is mild warm and dryness, so it cannot be applied to the exterior
syndrome not due to exogenous attack of wind, cold and dampness evils.
