Formula Type
Extract
TCM Pattern
Wind-cold patterns that present with aversion to cold, discharge of clear nasal fluid, a cough that produces clear or white sputum, headache and fever. While this formula is intended for wind-cold cough, if combined with a heat-clearing formula like Yin Qiao San (Lonicera & Forsythia Combination) it can be used to treat wind-heat cough patterns and if combined with Huang Lian Shang Qing it can treat phlegm-heat lung cough.
Therapeutic Functions
Relieves cough, transforms phlegm, courses the exterior, and diffuses lung qi.*
Precautions
This formula is decidedly drying. It should not be applied to coughs that are the result of dryness or yin vacuity.
Pulse Quality
Tight and floating.
Tongue Appearance
Thin white tongue fur.
