- The two
primary herbs in this formula are fried with wine to bring
their actions upward toward the head.
Indications:
This is the result of an acute sudden onset of
Fire Toxin of the head (usually in children in winter or spring),
most commonly caused by Wind/Heat.
Characterized by powerful high fever and
chills, red head and face with burning pain (these symptoms show
the great strength of both the patient and the pathogenic
invasion). Sore throat, dry mouth, lips and throat, thirst. T:
red with yellow coat (if severe the tongue is said to take on a
powdery white coating); P: floating rapid full and forceful.
This can translate into tonsillitis, ‘strep’
throat, pharyngitis, suppurative otitis media.
Caution: Use this formula with caution where
there is Yin deficiency (the majority of the herbs in this
combination are bitter and pungent in flavor and cold in nature).
