True Jade Powder

Chinese Prescription: Yu Zhen San

English Translation: True Jade Powder

Formula Type: Release Wind from the Skin and Channels

Actions: Dispels wind, transforms phlegm, relieves muscular tetany, & alleviates pain.

Indications: Stiffness & spasms of the jaw, closed mouth, lip spasms, deviation of the yes, rigidity of the entire body to the point of opisthotonus, & a wiry, tight pulse. Equal quantities of all of the herbs and ground into a powder and taken with 2 tsps of hot wine.

Contraindications: This formula usually contains the untreated forms of Bai Fu Zi *& Zhi Tian Nan Xing, both of which are very toxic. Dosage should therefore be carefully monitored, & the formula should not be taken long-term or during pregnanacy. The acrid, drying ingredients in this formula readily injure the fluid & exhaust the qi, & should not be used for advanced stage muscular tetany (a pattern of fluid injury & qi collapse). Severe hemorrhaging due to trauma may lead to blood deficiency, which prevents the blood from nourishing the sinews, & then to spasms. In such cases, the formula should be modified to focus on nourishing the blood & relaxing the sinews, rather than on dispelling wind.
