End Discharge Decoction (Wan Dai Tang) is beneficial for tonifying the Middle Burner, strengthening the Spleen and transforming Dampness. Decoction to Separate the Clear (Bei Xie Fen Qing) clears Heat, resolves Dampness and separates the “clear from the turbid”.  By combining these two classical formulas, Clear the Lower Palace dispels and transforms Dampness lodged in the Lower Burner while strengthening the Spleen, and addresses both deficiency and excess patterns simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Girdle Vessel is a unique Extraordinary channel, in that it is the only channel that courses horizontally through the body, running through the abdomen and traversing all major and Extraordinary meridians, which are all oriented vertically. The Girdle Vessel also has a close relationship with the Spleen, Kidney and Liver meridians, and various patterns may develop when it becomes excessive or deficient, such as Spleen Qi deficiency or Liver Qi stagnation. If Spleen is weakened, stagnant fluids develop and become turbid and heavy. If the Liver, which governs the free flow of Qi in the body, is out of balance, it can impair the Spleen by weakening or overpowering it, leading to the creation of more Dampness accumulating in the Lower Burner of the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chief herbs in the formula are dry fried White Atractylodes rhizome and dry fried Chinese yam rhizome. Working synergistically, they dry Dampness, tonify the Spleen and bind the Essence. Both herbs enter the Extraordinary vessels, and support the Girdle Vessel. Dry fried Chinese yam rhizome tonifies the Qi of the Spleen and Kidney. Dragon bone is very effective at securing the normal Qi, while supporting the elimination of stagnant accumulations from the Lower Burner. They both guide the formula to the Girdle Vessel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhite Asian ginseng root and rhizome strongly tonifies Qi and strengthens the Spleen, Cang-zhu Atractylodes rhizome and dry fried Plantain seed dry and leach Dampness through the urine.

Tokoro yam rhizome and Poria transform Dampness. Additionally, Tokoro yam rhizome is one of the most effective herb to address cloudy Gao Lin. Altaica rhizome warms the Urinary Bladder and dispels deficiency and Cold from the Lower Burner, while Phellodendron bark clears Damp Heat from the Lower Burner. Chinese salvia root and rhizome invigorates and tonifies Blood, clears Heat, and breaks up stasis lodged in the lower abdomen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour herbs were added to further enhance the effects of the formula. Shrubby sophora root and Cnidium fruit to increase the ability of the formula to dry Dampness, Dragon bone to calm the Liver and address disharmony of the Girdle Vessel (Dai Mai), and Oyster shell to tonify and quiet the Mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor further tonification of Spleen Qi and to drain Dampness accumulation, combine with Shen Ling Spleen Support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eORIGINS AND DEVELOPMENT\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eEnd Discharge Decoction (Wan Dai Tang) was first found in The Women’s Discourse According to Fu Qing-Zhu (Fu Qing Zhu Nu Ke).
