Qing Qi Hua Tan Pian is composed of 8 medicinal herbs which clear heat, transform phlegm, direct Qi downward and calm the respiratory tract.
The chief herb is Dan Nan Xing (Jack-in-the-pulpit tuber mixed with bile). Dan Nan Xing is a powerful phlegm-resolving herb which is used to clear blockage caused by heat and phlegm. Preparation with bile reduces the herb' drying nature. Dan Nan Xing is extremely effective at resolving phlegm and is frequently used in combination with other herbs to support respiratory health.
Deputy herbs Huang Qin (Scutellaria) and Gua Lou Ren (Snake gourd fruit) are bitter, cold substances which drain fire while transforming phlegm. Huang Qin and Gua Lou Ren strongly reinforce the actions of the chief herb Dan Nan Xing.
Zhi Shi (Immature bitter orange) and Chen Pi (Tangerine peel) are combined as assistant herbs to alleviate distension and dissipate phlegm by regulating the Qi mechanism, particularly of the middle jiao. Fu Ling (Poria) and Ban Xia (Pinellia) address the Spleen, which TCM considers to be the source of phlegm.
Ku Xing Ren (Apricot seed) facilitates the flow of Lung Qi downward.
Together, these seven herbs compose a formula that is well-balanced and highly effective at clearing phlegm and supporting respiratory health.
