Notes
- This is an excellent herb for consumption and childhood nutritional impairment.
- It is well suited to penetrating deep into the Yin level, treating muscle-layer Heat or Deficiency-type steaming bone disorder.
- Yin Chai Hu and Rx. Bupleuri Chai Hu both clear Heat but are otherwise dissimilar. Yin Chai Hu cools Deficiency-specific Heat and has no lifting action, while Chai Hu vents and cools exterior Heat, can raise Yang, and is excellent for alternating chills and fever, yet cannot clear Deficiency Heat or treat childhood nutritional impairment.
- Yin Chai Hu and Hb. Artemisiae Annuae Qing Hao share the ability to cool the Blood and reduce steaming bone disorder. Qing Hao, being acrid and fragrant, vents warm pathogens from the Yin level outward to the Yang level and best suits nighttime Heat that cools by morning from warm-pathogen injury to the Ying Level; it also resolves summerheat and treats the alternating chills and fever of malarial disorders. Yin Chai Hu, in contrast, does not clear Heat through venting, but does address Heat from childhood nutritional impairment.
- Yin Chai Hu, Hb. Artemisiae Annuae Qing Hao and Rx. Cynanchi Atrati Bai Wei all clear pathogenic Heat. Qing Hao neither cools the Lungs nor promotes urination. Rx. Stellariae Yin Chai Hu does not vent Heat or vent Blood Heat outward, only cooling Blood Heat from within.
