Cyperus and Perilla Leaf Powder

Chinese Prescription: Xiang Su San

English Translation: Cyperus and Perilla Leaf Powder

Formula Type: Release Exterior Cold

Actions: Regulates qi & releases the exterior.

Indications: Indicated for treating exterior wind-cold that occurs in conjunction with qi constraint in the interior. This can occur when exterior wind-cold obstructs the spreading of Lung qi, which in turn obstructs the qi mechanism of the Spleen & Stomach. It can also occur when patients with pre-existing constraint of the qi dynamic encounter a wind-cold pathogen but fail to engage with it forcefully because of the constraint. This produces such symtoms as lack of appetite, belching, & focal distention & a stifling sensation in the chest & epigastrium. The thin, white tongue coating & floating pulse reflect the presence of cold in the exterior.

Contraindications: Unknown.
