Commentary
Artemisia annua stands as the primary (chief) herb, providing the main thrust of the formula. Yinchen (Yin-chen) stands in the deputy (minister) seat, bitter, pungent-slightly cold in property, acting through the Spleen, Stomach, Liver, Gallbladder meridians to clear damp-heat and relieve jaundice. Reed root (Lu-gen) complements it, working to clear heat, generate fluids and promote urination. Without a separate harmonizing herb, the herbal tea formula balance is achieved through the mutual tempering of its active ingredients. Collectively, the combination clear heat, promote bile secretion, alleviate jaundice, addressing the viral hepatitis pattern.
