Guest guest Posted September 21, 2000 Report Share Posted September 21, 2000 >>I read somewhere an interesting breakdown of chai hu's action dependent upon the dose: For Example, 1-3 grams does X, 3-4.5 does Y and 4.5-9 does Z. I can't seem to find it, does anywhere have this breakdown. Qin Bowei mentions this dose dependent functionality, but does not say what the doses are and what they mean. Jason, Philippe Sionneau states in " Dui Yao " , " Chai Hu in high dosage (10-18g) resolves the exterior, abates heat, and harmonizes the shao yang. In small dosage (2-4g), it upbears the yang qi. In an average dosage (6-8g), it courses the liver, rectifies the qi, and resolves depression. Hope this helps... Peter Eschwey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 23, 2000 Report Share Posted September 23, 2000 Dear Peter, Because Chaihu is quiet poison, so the dose depend on the patient's problem require. You can give the formula of 6g-12g.

I have found this appears to be true in clinical practice and I only find yin xu or liver yang sx to arise when using exterior resolving dosages, not 3-6 g/day, which is my typical range. > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
