Explanation
This formula stimulates the descending of Lung-Qi. The Manifestation (Biao) is chronic Wind in the chest and the Root (Ben) is a deficiency of the Lungs and Kidneys.
The formulae Herbal Sentinel – Yang™ and Herbal Sentinel – Yin™ address the Root by tonifying Lungs and Kidneys, and the present formula Clear Qi™ restores the descending of Lung-Qi and expels Wind from the chest.
- Su Zi, Ban Xia and Qian Hu restore the descending of Lung-Qi
- Hou Po relaxes the chest
- Dang Gui and Rou Gui tonify the Liver and Kidneys and strengthen Qi in the Lower Burner to stimulate the Kidneys’ grasping of Qi
- Xuan Fu Hua, Xing Ren, Sang Bai Pi and Zi Wan restore the descending of Lung-Qi
- Fang Feng and Sang Ye expels Wind from the chest
- Wu Wei Zi tonifies the Lungs and Dan Shen calms the Mind
- Hu Tao Rou stimulates the Kidneys’ grasping of Qi
- Huang Qin was added to counterbalance the effect of the warm herbs in the formula
- Zhi Gan Cao harmonizes
Although Clear Qi™ contains Hu Tao Rou and Wu Wei Zi which tonify the Kidneys and Lungs, the main impact of the formula is not to tonify but to restore the descending of Lung-Qi and expel Wind.
The older the patient, the more he or she is likely to have some Phlegm. If there is Cold or Damp Phlegm, this formula can be combined with Limpid Sea™.
