Commentary

Taking ginkgo leaves (Yin-xing-ye) as the leading herb, the formula draws on its sweet, bitter, astringent flavor and neutral property: it enters the Heart, Lung meridians and works to activate blood and unblock the collaterals. Green tea (Lu-cha) rounds out the formula as the envoy herb, working to clear heat, resolve dampness and refresh the mind and moderate the overall properties. The overall effect is to relieve coronary symptoms and lower blood pressure, restoring balance within the coronary artery disease framework.
