Guest guest Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 Dear friends, I have seen references in passing to a formula fu ling tang. However it is not included in Bensky's, nor in Yeung's materia medicas. Can anyone please tell me the source, indications, ingredients, dosages, and if it is (as I would assume) a formula to dispel dampness, how it's indications are different than other formulae. Thank you, Yehuda ps. BTW, fu ling tang is not the same formula as fu ling pi tang to the best of my knowledge, the latter, I believe is a wen bing formula thanx ______________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2003 Report Share Posted December 25, 2003 Dear Kopac and Jim, Thank you both so much. After writing to you, I found mentioned in Yeung's other book: " Handbook of chinese herbs " under the herb, Fu Ling, Fu Ling Tang as a distinct prescription, so I'm not so sure that the two other formulae you suggest might actually be Fu Ling Tang.

Is it this one? 1.0 Huang qi 1.0 Fang feng 1.0 Bai fu ling 1.0 Bai zhu 0.5 Ma huang gen 0.5 Gan cao 0.5 Mu li 5 pieces of Mai ya Good thing you weren't asking about Bai Zhu San. I found 174 formulas with that name in one Chinese book. Jim Ramholz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
