Xiao Qing Long Tang
The efficacy of this formula is attributed to its ability to simultaneously release wind-cold from the exterior and transform thin mucus in the interior. If the exterior is not resolved, the fluids can not be moved. If thin mucus constrains the interior, protective yang can not penetrate to the exterior. Only a strategy that focuses on both dispersing the protective yang and transforming the yin excess can overcome this vicious circle

Formulas to Aid the Living (1253)

Cang Er Zi San
Pathogenic analysis
Bi Yuan usually appears after an unsolved case of the common cold;
Protective Qi obstruction readily manifests in its external orifice, the nose.
Obstruction of the Yang Ming channel, which traverses the nose, causes frontal headache and dizziness;
Heat engendered from constraint and fluids that are not directed downward by the Lungs combine to produce profuse, foul-smelling nasal discharge;
A normal or white tongue coating indicates, however, that the heat constraint is not pronounced.
