Tips

[Minor Bupleurum Decoction ]From Zhang Zhongjing's Discussion of Cold Damage: 24 g bupleurum, 9 g each of scutellaria, ginseng, pinellia, and fresh ginger, 6 g honey-fried licorice, and 4 jujubes. Add 2,200 mL of water and boil until half remains; strain out the dregs, then boil again until half remains (550 mL). Take warm in 3 divided doses daily.”

This formula primarily treats: lesser-yang syndrome in exogenous febrile disease, characterized by alternating chills and fever, a feeling of fullness and discomfort in the chest and hypochondria, taciturnity and lack of desire to eat, irritability with a tendency to vomit, a bitter taste in the mouth, dry throat, dizziness, a thin white tongue coating, and a wiry pulse; heat entering the blood chamber, characterized in women by exogenous febrile disease with menstruation just ending and periodic attacks of chills and fever; as well as jaundice, malaria, and various internal medical disorders presenting with lesser-yang syndrome.

 In traditional Chinese medicine clinical practice, it is commonly used to treat influenza, malaria, chronic hepatitis, acute and chronic cholecystitis, gallstones, pleurisy, otitis media, puerperal fever, acute mastitis, orchitis, gastric ulcers, and other conditions involving pathogenic factors lodged in the lesser yang with disharmony between the gallbladder and stomach.

 

[Bupleurum Liver-Soothing Decoction]originates fromthe Jingyue Complete Works, where it was originally namedBupleurum Liver-Soothing Powder.In modern clinical practice, it is often decocted and taken as a soup, and is regarded in traditional Chinese medicine as the “premier formula” for soothing the liver, regulating qi, promoting blood circulation, and relieving pain.It is specifically used for liver qi stagnation and qi stagnation with blood stasis and related conditions caused by emotional frustration, high stress, and a tendency to become angry, and is widely used among modern urban populations.

Main indications and symptoms:
  1. Chest and hypochondriac distension and pain: A feeling of fullness or stabbing pain below the ribs on both sides and in the chest; the pain often fluctuates with emotional changes (worsening when angry and easing slightly after sighing).
  2. Emotional depression: Feeling down, anxious, irritable, and prone to sighing frequently.
  3. Gastrointestinal discomfort: Liver qi invading the stomach causes epigastric and abdominal fullness, belching (after eating one’s fill), and poor appetite.
  4. Tongue and pulse characteristics: The tongue body is light red with a thin white coating; the pulse is usually a wiry pulse (feeling like pressing a stringed instrument’s string, it is a typical pulse pattern of liver qi stagnation).

Original dosage: Bupleurum 6 g, cyperus 4.5 g, stir-fried bitter orange 4.5 g, Sichuan lovage root 4.5 g, white peony root 4.5 g, tangerine peel 6 g, honey-fried licorice root 2.5 g.

Modern dosage: When prescribing in practice, modern TCM practitioners often increase the dosage of the entire formula proportionally according to an adult’s constitution (for example: bupleurum 10–12 g, prepared cyperus 10 g, stir-fried bitter orange 10 g, Sichuan lovage root 10 g, white peony root 12 g, aged tangerine peel 10 g, honey-fried licorice root 6 g).

Modifications are common in clinical practice; Chai Hu Shu Gan Tang is like an excellent “foundation,” which practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine adjust according to the patient’s specific accompanying symptoms:
  • If qi stagnation transforms into fire (manifested as a bitter taste in the mouth, irritability, and a red tongue): Add gardenia fruit and Scutellaria root to clear heat.
  • If stomach qi rebels upward (persistent belching, nausea, and vomiting): Add Inula flower and hematite to promote qi movement and direct rebellious qi downward.
  • If abdominal or stomach pain is pronounced: Add corydalis rhizome and Sichuan chinaberry fruit to enhance the pain-relieving effect.
  • If breast tenderness and pain are severe: Add green tangerine peel, turmeric rhizome, and cowherb seeds to promote liver qi flow and unblock the channels.
Decoction steps (earthenware or stainless-steel pot) Do not decoct for too long
  1. Soak in cold water: Put all the herbs in a pot with 500–600 milliliters of water and soak for about 30 minutes first. This allows the herbs to absorb enough water, making it easier for the active ingredients to dissolve during decoction.
  2. First decoction (reduce from high to low heat)：Cover the pot and heat over high heat until boilingReduce to low heat and simmer gently for 15–20 minutesFilter out the liquid from the first decoction.
  3. Second decoction (shorter cooking time): Add moreAdd clean water Add 300–400 milliliters of water and bring to a boil over high heat as beforeReduce to low heat and simmer for 10–15 minutesFilter out the liquid from the second decoction.
Directions for use
  1. Combine the decoctions: Pour the liquid filtered from the first and second decoctions together and mix. The total volume should be approximately 300–400 milliliters.
  2. Take in divided doses: Divide the liquid evenly into two portions and take once in the morning and once in the evening (about 150–200 milliliters each time).
  3. Best time to take the medicine: It is recommended to take it warm about 30–60 minutes after meals. Taking it after meals can reduce mild irritation to the stomach lining and facilitate absorption by the spleen and stomach in the middle burner.

【Contraindications】Not suitable for people with liver yin deficiency or hyperactive liver yang: This includes people who frequently experience dizziness, facial flushing, tinnitus, dry mouth and throat, hot flashes, and night sweats.
