Formulas Name : Pine Decoction
Chinese Name : 柏汤
Drug Formulation
Tender Phellodendron leaves.
Source
From *Nourishing the Elderly to Prolong Life*, Volume 3.
Processing
Tie the leaves with string and suspend them in a large jar; seal the opening with paper. Check them after a month; if they are not yet very dry, reseal the jar. Once dry, remove them and grind into a powder; it will be the color of tender grass. If a jar is not used, a sealed room will suffice, though the powder will not be as vibrant green as that from the jar; if exposed to wind, it will turn yellow.
Benefits
Hemoptysis, epistaxis, bloody diarrhea, and metrorrhagia.
Instructions for Use
This decoction can be used in place of tea; drinking it at night is particularly effective for promoting wakefulness. If it is too bitter, adding a small amount of sweet potato is especially recommended.
