Notas

  • For Yin Deficiency Heat symptoms, this herb works best when there is no sweating.
  • It is a key herb for gynecological problems related to Blood Stasis.
  • The flower is among China's most cherished flowers.
  • Recent research finds it beneficial for bronchial and intestinal infections.
  • It cools Heat arising from either Excess or Deficiency.
  • It invigorates the Blood gently, without damaging Blood or Yin.
  • It clears Lurking Fire from the Blood.
  • It is also said to remove dead blood cells.
  • Both Mu Dan Pi and Rx. Rehmanniae Sheng Di Huang address Yin Deficiency Heat: Mu Dan Pi is cool, aromatic and piercing, dispersing Heat so Yin can recover, while Sheng Di Huang is sweet and cold, nourishing Yin to relieve Heat and allow its recovery; the two are often combined.
  • Both Mu Dan Pi and Rx. Paeoniae Rubra Chi Shao cool the Blood and dispel Stasis: Mu Dan Pi is more cooling and clears Blood Heat from both Excess and Deficiency, centering on the Heart channel, whereas Chi Shao cannot clear Yin Deficiency Heat from the Blood, only Excess Heat, but has a stronger Blood-invigorating action, stops pain, and centers on the Liver channel.
  • Mu Dan Pi, Rx. Cynanchi Atrati Bai Wei and Cx. Lycii Di Gu Pi all cool the Blood and reduce Deficiency Heat for low-grade fever from Yin Deficiency; Mu Dan Pi and Di Gu Pi also reduce Blood Heat and treat bleeding in the upper or lower body caused by Excess Heat driving chaotic Blood movement. Mu Dan Pi additionally dispels Blood Stasis, which the others do not, and suits steaming bones and consumptive Heat without sweating, while Di Gu Pi treats the same patterns but with sweating. Bai Wei cools the Lungs similarly to Di Gu Pi, but uniquely can vent residual pathogenic Heat that has injured Yin in the later stages of a febrile illness, and it can also promote urination.
  • Dry-fried Moutan Chao Mu Dan Pi is less cold with reduced dispersing power but an improved ability to drain Fire within Yin, and is used mainly for Liver and Kidney Yin Deficiency with low-grade fever and steaming bones without sweating.
  • Wine-fried Moutan Jiu Chao Mu Dan Pi disperses and transforms Stasis more effectively and is used for abdominal masses, accumulations and amenorrhea.
  • Charred Moutan Mu Dan Pi Tan enters the Blood to cool it and stop bleeding without causing further Stasis, and is widely used for bleeding due to pathogenic Heat.
