bubble_chart Formula Principles

Turbid urine is mostly caused by dampness-heat pouring down and the accumulation of phlegm-fluid retention. In the formula, Coptis Rhizome drains heart fire, Phelloendron Bark drains kidney fire, and both can clear heat and drain dampness; Poria and Polyporus eliminate dampness with bland medicinal; dampness-heat is often caused by stagnation, so Villous Amomum Fruit and Sharpleaf Galangal Fruit are used to promote qi with their pungent and warm properties, strengthen the spleen and secure the kidneys, which can both disperse stagnant qi and counteract the cold nature of Coptis Rhizome and Phelloendron Bark, ensuring that qi movement disperses stagnation; Liquorice Root harmonizes the middle, and lotus stamen secures and astringes. Together, they form a formula for clearing heat, draining dampness, and stopping turbidity.
