Wirkungen & indikationen
- Strongly tonifies the original qi
- Collapse of qi after severe illness, heavy bleeding or profuse sweating: a barely perceptible pulse, cold limbs, shortness of breath.
- Tonifies the qi of the spleen and stomach
- Poor appetite, fatigue, loose stools, fullness after eating, a sallow complexion.
- Tonifies the lung qi
- Breathlessness on slight exertion, a weak voice, spontaneous sweating, a long-standing cough with thin sputum.
- Generates fluids and relieves thirst
- Dry mouth and thirst following a febrile illness, and in wasting-and-thirsting disorder.
- Settles the spirit and benefits the mind
- Palpitations, restlessness, insomnia and forgetfulness where both qi and blood are depleted.
Kontraindikationen
Not given alone in patterns of excess, in heat from yin deficiency, or while a pathogenic factor is still on the exterior — tonifying then risks holding the pathogen in.
Unverträglichkeiten
One of the classical eighteen incompatibilities with Li Lu. Traditionally not combined with Wu Ling Zhi, and green tea is said to blunt its effect.
Wechselwirkungen
May potentiate anticoagulants and lower blood sugar further in patients already on hypoglycaemic medication. Worth monitoring rather than avoiding.
Zubereitung
Traditionally decocted on its own and the liquid added to the finished decoction, so a long boil with other herbs does not waste it.
