Dui Yao — Core Herb Pairs
The classical two-herb combinations at the heart of this formula, as recorded on the herbs' own pages — each pair has an action neither herb has alone.
Essence and blood are nourished while qi is tonified, supporting the righteous qi to stop chronic deficiency malaria.
Preparation
Decoct the ingredients with water for oral use 2–3 h before malaria attack.
