Indications:
Yang jaundice from damp heat
lodged in the shaoyang level. Symptoms include mild chills
alternating with pronounced fever, bitter taste in mouth, fullness
in the chest and hypochondria, may vomit up bitter or sour fluids,
thirst with no desire to drink, T- red with a thick greasy coat
that may be yellow or white, P- wiry slippery (may be soft).
Damp/heat and turbid phlegm in the shaoyang, alternating between
the wei and ying levels attempting to go deeper in the body.
This formula is basically
wen dan tang with
qing hao (to vent exterior), huang qin (to clear
interior), and bi yu san (relieve toxicity and damp). This
formula is slightly less dispersing of the exterior than
xiao chai hu tang, but
is better at draining the interior shaoyang aspects of heat and
damp.
