Allergic conditions

[Guest guest]

In the latest cinnabar creek, there is a small section on allergic

conditions (i.e. allergic rhinitis, hives). I found the formula quite

interesting. For the acute stage Dr. Zhu Shen-Yu uses a somewhat large dose

of sour astringents (wu mei 6 and wu wei zi 6). His base formula for any

allergic disorders is : fang feng, yin chai hu, wu mei, and wu wei zi.

 

 

 

Most of the formulas that I have prescribed as well as read about usually do

not use astringents at all or if so a very small amount. I am wondering

where this idea is from, and if others commonly use this strategy. I am

having a hard time making sense of it as I normally focus on expelling wind

etc. I would think that such additions would restrain the dispersing herbs.

Nonetheless, I have tried it with a couple of people, but did not have any

success.

 

 

 

I do not know who Dr. Zhu is. Maybe he is into more modern prescribing, i.e.

pharmacological properties of herbs. Maybe wu wei zi and wu mei have some

modern action he is keying into?
