Description
TAMING THE SNAKE is recommended for the treatment of herpes zoster when wetness predominates (vesicles) and for earth constitution types with primary spleen weakness. This preparation tonifies the Spleen, transforms Dampness, moves the Qi of the Middle Warmer, eliminates Fire toxins and relieves pain. The focus of this preparation is mainly on dampness and the accompanying absorption disorder characteristics. If Wetness predominates in a Spleen Qi deficiency constitution, the Damp-Heat toxins are still encapsulated in the XUE FEN. A weakness of the defensive Qi and an emotional shock favor this secondary form.
