[ANALYSIS OF FORMULA]:It is a common formula for treating tetanus. Giant typhonium tuber is to dry dampness, to resolve phlegm and to expel wind for relieving spasm and it is good at expelling the facial wind; arisaema tuber is to expel wind and to resolve phlegm and it specializes in clearing away the wind-phlegm in meridians. They act as the main herbs together. As the assistant and adjuvant herbs, notopterygium root, ledebouriella root and dahurian angelica root can dispel the wind evil from meridians; gastrodia tuber can calm the liver-wind to relieve spasm. In this formula, dispelling wind is for treating the “root” while relieving spasm is for treating the “branch”. So it is a formula for treating both the “branch”and the “root”.
