|TCM Approach

Clinical Description:

祛风清热利湿

Plain-Language Explanation:

  • Dispel Wind: Relieves wind-induced migrating itching, red rashes, and symptoms that arise and dissipate suddenly, helping stabilize the skin and interstices.
  • Clear Heat: Calms internal and external stagnant heat, alleviating redness, burning sensation, dry mouth, irritability, sore throat, and other signs of “heat excess.”
  • Drain Dampness: Promotes the metabolism and excretion of damp-turbidity, improving sticky exudation, heavy limbs, edema, thick greasy tongue coating, and other signs of “dampness excess.”
