Explanation of the Formula
When an external pathogenic evil penetrates,
it tends to move into areas of least resistance and where
conditions for its proliferation are optimal. Warm, moist
locations like the respiratory tract and sinus cavities are
the areas most commonly affected. When toxic heat lodges in
the head area, the sinuses, eyes, and ears will manifest wetness
and heat symptoms (see above). This requires herbs that clear
heat, dry wetness and restore the flow of (blocked) qi in
the head and upper body.
Echinacea, Eyebright, Mahonia, Forsythia Fruit
are all very effective herbs to clear toxic heat anywhere
in the body.
Eyebright is used specifically in the head
area.
Licorice Root has a dual purpose: to help
clear the toxic heat and to harmonize the other herbs in the
formula.
Magnolia Flower and Xanthium Fruit
are often paired together to help clear out the nasal and
sinus passages.
Angelica Root works specifically on the nasal
and sinus passages (including the ears) to clear the toxic
wet heat.
Chrysanthemum Flower and Peppermint
Leaf relieve pressure in the head and assist in clearing
wet heat. Ligustrum Rhizome and Red
Peony Root guide the herbs to the head area and work
to unblock the congested qi.
