Chinese Prescription: Zeng Ye Tang

English Translation: Increase the Fluids Decoction

Formula Type: Enrich the Yin and Moisten Dryness

Actions: Generates fluids, moistens dryness, & unblocks the bowels.

Indications: Constipation, thirst, a dry, red tongue, & a thin & slightly rapid, or a weak & forceless pulse. This is constipation due to exhaustion, usually from a warm-febrile disease.

Contraindications: This formula is not a purgative, but promotes evacuation of the bowels by clearing heat & replenishing the fluids. It is not strong enough for conditions with severe dryness; in such cases, Increase the Fluids and Order the Qi Decoction is a better choice. Moreover, to be effective, a large dose of this formula must also be used.
