【ANALYSIS OF FORMULA】:This is a representative formula for treating wind syndrome caused by extreme heat. As the main herbs, antelope’s horn and uncaria stem with hooks can cool the liver to stop wind and clear away heat to relieve spasm, Acting as the assistant herbs, mulberry leaf and chrysanthemum flower strengthen the effect of stopping wind. White peony root and rehmannia root can replenish yin to gentle the liver and to release tendons. Its combination with antelop’s horn and uncaria stem with hooks, can treat both the “branch”and the “root” .It is easy for the exuberant heat to scorch the body fluid into phlegm, so fritillary bulb and bamboo shavings are used simultaneously to clear away heat and phlegm; poria with hostwood is used to calm the liver and the heart for tranquilizing the mind because heat-evil disturbs the heart. They all act as the adju­vant herbs. Licorice, as the dispatcher, is to harmonize all the components as well as releasing tendons for relieving spasm by combination with white peony root.
