bubble_chart Formula Principles

The scrofula treated by this formula is caused by liver and kidney yin deficiency, liver fire stagnation, and the scorching of fluids into phlegm. In the formula, Scrophularia Root clears heat, enriches yin, cools blood, and disperses masses; oyster shell softens hardness and dissipates masses; Fritillaria Bulb clears heat and resolves phlegm. The combination of these three herbs can restore yin, eliminate heat, resolve phlegm, and disperse masses, thereby naturally resolving scrofula. It can also be used for subcutaneous nodules and goiters caused by phlegm-fire accumulation.
