Episode Synopsis
This episode covers the Chinese formula Ban Xia Xie Xin Tang, or Pinellia Decoction to Drain the Epigastrium. This is a really interesting and relatively commonly used formula in one of the most important Chinese formula categories: formulas that harmonize. Each episode of the podcast will go into great depth about a single herb or formula. Besides covering the basics of herbology including category, and functions, we will explore the history, quality, science, pharmacology, evidence, and any potential interactions of each herb. And then there is always something a little quirky about an episode. In this episode, we will be discussing one of the major Confucian texts: The Doctrine of the Mean. Please join us as we learn about Ban Xia Xie Xin Tang, or Pinellia Decoction to Drain the Epigastrium.
