Anmerkungen

  • Fang Feng can counteract toxicity from Rx. Aconiti Chuan Wu Tou, Flos Daphne Genkwa Yuan Hua, and wild mushrooms.
  • It commonly appears in formulas for skin disorders.
  • Charred to ash, it can arrest bleeding.
  • The name Fang Feng translates as 'Dispel Wind.'
  • It is one of the principal herbs for releasing the Exterior.
  • Its action is milder than that of Ma Huang.
  • It is often paired with cold, bitter herbs to address surface inflammation.
  • It is safe to take over the long term.
  • It suits every type of Wind pattern — Hot or Cold, upper or lower body, Exterior or Interior.
  • Some sources credit it with tonifying the Spleen.
  • It is also said to lift Yang Qi.
  • Compared with most other Wind-expelling herbs, it is less drying.
  • Its antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties are said to help prevent influenza.
  • Compared to Rx. Angelicae Pubescentis Du Huo and Rz. seu Rx. Notopterygii Qiang Huo, Fang Feng is both less drying and less aromatic; consequently it disperses heavy accumulation less forcefully than either, but its gentler action is slower to injure Yin. It is also useful for Intestinal Wind or painful diarrhea, a use the other two do not share.
  • Fang Feng and Hb. Schizonepetae Jing Jie both eliminate Wind, release the Exterior and disperse Wind-Cold and Wind-Heat, but Jing Jie acts more weakly and superficially, its Wind-expelling reach confined to the skin, muscles and Blood. Fang Feng expels Wind lodged deeper in the body more strongly, can also overcome Dampness, and is suited to every type of Wind.
  • Dry-fried Chao Fang Feng has a weaker Wind-expelling and Exterior-releasing effect but a stronger ability to lift Yang, making it useful for diarrhea from Spleen Deficiency.
  • Charred Fang Feng Tan penetrates to the Blood level, strongly warming the Blood and stopping bleeding; it treats irregular menstrual bleeding with pale Blood from Deficiency Cold.
