This formula can be used as a general formula to dry Dampness and resolve Phlegm in many different locations of the body and with many different manifestations. The original formula is the classical formula for the Damp-Phlegm variety of Phlegm, i.e. Phlegm combined with or deriving from Dampness and manifesting with abundant, sticky sputum that is easy to expectorate. The formula has been modified to resolve also Hot-Phlegm and Cold-Phlegm. The latter differs from Damp-Phlegm in so far as there are more Cold symptoms and the sputum is white and watery rather than sticky and viscid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBan Xia, Fu Ling, and Chen Pi form the nucleus of the original prescription: Ban Xia resolves Phlegm, subdues Qi and harmonizes the Middle Burner; Chen Pi dries Dampness and harmonizes the Middle Burner; Fu Ling drains Dampness. Gan Cao and Da Zao harmonize, while Wu Mei generates fluids to counterbalance the drying effect of the formula. Zhu Ru and Gua Lou were added to resolve hot Phlegm, while Gan Jiang was added to resolve Cold-Phlegm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chief manifestation that indicates the use of this formula is the presence of obvious sputum which may be in the chest, nose or throat. Phlegm may also manifest in other ways such as soft lumps under the skin, and this is another indication for the use of this formula (although such lumps under the skin, lipomas, are unlikely to be dispersed by the use of this formula). The nausea, vomiting and feeling of oppression of the chest are typical manifestations deriving from the obstruction of the Middle Burner by Phlegm: as Phlegm obstructs the Middle Burner it prevents the proper ascending and descending of Qi in the Centre and nausea and vomiting ensue since Stomach-Qi cannot descend. The palpitations here are due not to a Heart pathology but to the obstruction of the chest by Phlegm. The dizziness is due to the obstruction of the head’s clear orifices by Phlegm. There will be insomnia if Phlegm is accompanied by Heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is important to understand that this formula treats only the Manifestation, i.e. it resolves Phlegm and dries Dampness but it does not treat the Root that is always Spleen-Qi or Spleen-Yang deficiency. For this reason, this formula can be combined with Soothe the Centre™ or Prosperous Earth™, as Limpid Sea™ will treat the Manifestation and Soothe the Centre™ or Prosperous Earth™ the Root.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMental-Emotional Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nJust as easily as Phlegm obstructs the Middle Burner, it obstructs the Mind and clouds the head’s orifices, preventing the rising of clear Yang to the head. On a mental-emotional level, this causes obfuscation of the Mind, confusion, lack of clarity of thought, and disorientation. This will cause the person to be confused about his or her life’s issues so that the Mind is caught up in a vicious circle of bewildering thoughts and hesitation. In very severe cases of obstruction of the Mind by Phlegm, the person’s mental-emotional state may border on psychotic behaviour. If Phlegm is accompanied by Heat, the mental-emotional manifestations will differ in so far as while Phlegm obstructs the Mind, Heat harasses and agitates the Mind. The person will therefore still display the typical confusion as described above, but will also be agitated and anxious. Again, in a severe case of Phlegm-Heat, the person’s behaviour may border on manic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCaution and Contraindications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThis formula is definitely drying and should therefore not be used if the patient suffers from Yin deficiency or even just the beginning of it. It is therefore not suitable if the tongue is peeled or has a rootless coating. Since this formula treats only the Manifestation of Phlegm, it is not suitable for long-term administration: it should be used for short periods (not more than a few months), after which it should be followed by the administration of a formula that tonifies the Spleen, such as Soothe the Centre™ to treat the Root. Alternatively, these two formulae may be used together. Acupuncturists could use this formula to treat the Manifestation of Phlegm and acupuncture to treat the Root by tonifying the Spleen with points such as ST-36 Zusanli, SP-3 Taibai, BL-20 Pishu and BL 21 Weishu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAllergens\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThere has been a long discussion on the allergic potential of shellfish that are used in Chinese medicine, such as Mu Li (Concha Ostreae) or Hai Ge Ke (Concha Meretricis seu Cyclinae). These are molluscan shellfish and, according to some, they are not allergens while crustacean shellfish are (crab, lobster, shrimp). As a reminder, the Three Treasures™ remedies are free from animal products, shellfish or minerals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnglish Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two Old Decoction\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChinese Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Er Chen Tang\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 Tablets - 500mg Each\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePotency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.5:1\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dry Dampness and resolve Phlegm.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Phlegm (damp, cold or hot) in the Middle and Upper Burner.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChinese Symptomology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cough with abundant sputum, catarrh in the chest, nose or throat, white or yellow sputum, a feeling of oppression of the chest, nausea, vomiting, palpitations, dizziness, insomnia, lipomas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBan Xia Rhizoma Pinelliae Preparatum Fu Ling Poria Chen Pi Pericarpium Citri reticulatae Gan Cao Radix Glycyrrhizae uralensis Da Zao Fructus Jujubae Wu Mei Fructus Mume Zhu Ru Caulis Bambusae in Taeniam Gua Lou Fructus TrichosanthisGan Jiang Rhizoma Zingiberis\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Three Treasures by Giovanni Maciocia","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47461423251612,"sku":"TT251","price":24.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/2407\/0044\/files\/Limpid_20Sea_20Three_20Treasures.jpg?v=1787529292","url":"https:\/\/primenaturalfoods.com\/fr\/products\/limpid-sea","provider":"Prime Natural Foods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
