Formula Rationale
Akebia (mu tong) promotes urination and drains heat; it has a diuretic effect in
laboratory experiments. It is traditionally used with plantago seed (che qian zi)
for edema and painful urination. Pyrrosia (shi wei) clears damp heat and stops
bleeding. Dianthus (qu mai), unblocks painful urination, and is traditionally
used for bloody urination. Lygodium spore (hai jin shu) is traditionally used
for stones in the urine. Gardenia (zhi zi) is one of the premier heat clearing
herbs in the Materia Medica; it also treats irritability, restlessness, and
insomnia. Soft rush pith (deng xin cao) promotes urination and removes dampness.
Talcum (hua shi) promotes urination and drains heat from the bladder, and is
traditionally used for burning, painful, dark, or scanty urination. Licorice
root (gan cao) is included for its harmonizing and detoxification actions.
Vladimiria souliei (mu xiang) was added by ancient herbalist Zhu Dan Xi, to
strengthen the transforming function of the bladder meridian. Wine steamed
rhubarb (zhi da huang), removes heat through the stool; wine steaming improves
its blood circulating properties.
