Its dispersing property has been removed, and it is somewhat less cold, but its abilities to restrain and generate flesh are enhanced. It is frequently used externally for eczema, scalding and erupted sores or wounds that fail to heal. However, it is also included in a number of classical formulas for internal use. Harm and benefit in the Materia Medica notes that calcined gypsum is not as harmful to the Stomach as the unprepared form, especially if missed with rock sugar, but it will be ineffective if used in small doses. However, Zhang Xi-Chun and others object that once calcined, its ability to vent and release the muscle layer is lost, and if used internally for externally contracted pathogens coupled with heat from excess, it will instead restrain phlegm-fire and lead to clumping and other toxic effects. This, at present, calcined gypsum is usually only applied externally.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eAccording to the philippe sionneau pao zhi book, duan (calcined ) shi gao is for vacuity LU\/St heat\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChinese Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 pound\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePotency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1:1\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTaste:\u003c\/strong\u003e sweet, acrid\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProperties:\u003c\/strong\u003e very cold\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChannels Entered:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lung, Stomach - Bensky\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cools Lung and Stomach fire, while also dispersing to vent to the exterior and release the muscle layer. - Bensky\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Heat, fire, Lung heat, Stomach fire - Bensky\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChinese Symptomology:\u003c\/strong\u003e High fever without chills, irritability, intense thirst, profuse sweating; Cough and wheezing with fever and thick, viscous sputum; headache, toothache or swollen and painful gums due to Stomach fire; eczema, burns, and ulcerated sores - Bensky\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMateria Medica:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clear Heat - Drain Fire\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eContraindications:\u003c\/strong\u003e Contraindicated in cases of cold from deficiency of the Spleen and Stomach, or fever from yin deficiency - Benksy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShi Gao -shu Gypsum Fibrosum PraepartaGypsum\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NuHerbs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47459721904284,"sku":"NH496A","price":17.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/2407\/0044\/files\/shi-gao-shu-nuherbs.png?v=1787457428","url":"https:\/\/primenaturalfoods.com\/fr-ae\/products\/shi-gao-shu-1lb","provider":"Prime Natural Foods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
