Harmonize the Qi (Xiao Chai Hu Tang) addresses the complex patterns that are represented by an invasion that is half in the Exterior and half in the Interior.
Cool and pungent Bupleurum root moves Yang energy upward and outward, while bitter cold Chinese skullcap root descends Yang inwards and downwards. This dual and seemingly self-defeating influence is typical in harmonizing formulas such as Harmonize the Qi.
By normalizing Yang movement, regardless of how it is constrained, Harmonize the Qi has acquired its reputation of safety. Chinese red ginseng root and rhizome, Red jujube fruit and Chinese licorice root and rhizome address any Qi deficiency that has occurred following the failure of Yang to return. Ginger cured Pinellia rhizome transforms any Phlegm obstructions of the Triple Burner that interfere with Yang movement. Ginger rhizome helps ginger cured Pinellia rhizome in this regard and harmonizes the Middle Burner of the body to direct rebellious Qi downward.
