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.
Expelling phlegm and checking malaria combined with moving qi downward, which also lessens the nausea and vomiting caused by Chang Shan.
Malaria patterns with phlegm. Chang Shan is toxic and emetic; use processed and with caution; contraindicated in pregnancy and weakness.
Energetics dose-weighted
