Honeysuckle and Forsythia Powder

Chinese Prescription: Yin Qiao San

English Translation: Honeysuckle and Forsythia Powder

Formula Type: Release Exterior Wind-Heat

Actions: Disperses wind-heat, clears heat, & resolves toxicity.

Indications: Fever, slight chills or chills lasting for only a very brief period of time before aversion to heat develops, headache, thrist, cough, sore throat, a red-tipped tongue, a thin, white or thin, yellow tongue coating, & a floating, rapid pulse.

Contraindications: This formula will be ineffective in cases with damp-heat, unless significantly modified. Proper treatment of wind-dampness requires leaching out the dampness & dispelling the heat through the lower burner (urine or stool). This is precisely what this formula does not do.
