Description
Formulation Basis
H&F Yankang Capsule is formulated based on the classical Chinese Medicine theories on phlegm and heat intertwining and congesting to transform into toxins. A vacuity in the spleen results in the loss of normal movement and transformation, causing the movement of fluids to stop internally. A vacuity in the kidney results in the loss of the warmth of the yang to promote the transformation of fluids. The 2 above cause the exuberant congestion of phlegm-drool. Phlegm-drool congestion in the upper body is displayed as coughs and breathlessness with phlegm, while congestion in the lower body is displayed as the swelling pain of joints. This formula is directed very specifically via the combination of the following herbs to clear heat, transform phlegm, dissipate binds, disperse welling abscess, dispel evil and supports the right qi: Rhizoma Arisaematis cum Bile, Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae and Fructus Trichonsanthis enhance the transformation of phlegm, dissipate binds and allay coughs [1-3]; Herba Hedyotis Diffusae and Herba Scutellariae Barbatae clear and resolves heat-toxins; Cordyceps and Ganoderma cracked spores powder supplement the vacuity of the lungs and kidneys so as to prevent the bitter and cold herbs from damaging the right qi.
