The formula was published in the Shang Han Lun (Treatise on Cold Febrile Disease) by Zhang Zhong-Jing as early as 200 A.D., and was originally developed to expel deeply penetrated invasions lodged in the Shao Yang (Lesser Yang), which is the innermost layer of Yang right next to the body’s Yin core. While the indication may seem obscure, it is the most important formula to ensure the smooth flow of Qi along the longitudinal axis of the body (i.e. the Triple Burner) as well as from the body core to the limbs (i.e. the Gallbladder channel).

Bitter cold Chinese skullcap root descends Yang from the Upper Burner, to where it can reintegrate with the Lower Burner to generate Qi. Chinese red ginseng root and rhizome, Red jujube fruit and Chinese licorice root and rhizome address any Qi deficiency that has occurred following the failure of Yang and Yin to merge. Licorice cured Pinellia rhizome transforms any Phlegm obstructions of the Gallbladder channel and the Triple Burner.
