Explanation
Drain Fields™ is a variation of Huo Po Xia Ling Tang (Agastache-Magnolia-Pinellia-Poria Decoction) used to drain Dampness. It can be used in all cases when the condition is characterized predominantly by retention of Dampness (without Heat). If the tongue has a thick-sticky coating, the pulse is predominantly slippery and full, and the pronounced retention of Dampness, it is then safe to eliminate Dampness before tonifying the body’s Qi. This formula is ideally suited to do this, as it is aimed at resolving Dampness from the muscles, from the head, and from the Stomach and Spleen.
- Huang Qi and Bai Zhu have been added to tonify Qi
- Sha Ren and Pei Lan are two fragrant herbs which resolve Dampness from the muscles
- Lu Gen has been added to clear any Heat
This formula should be chosen if the full aspect predominates over the Deficiency. If the latter predominates, consider using Tonify Qi and Ease the Muscles™. If there is Damp-Heat rather than Dampness, use Ease the Muscles™.
