Official in the Chinese pharmacopoeia.

Ancient doctors wrote formulas as decoctions (tang), pills (wan), or powders (san) for a reason. They thought the format of a formula contributed to its efficacy by strengthening certain functions or delivering the formula to a specific region of the body. Why is it called Xiaoyao San, not Xiaoyao Tang? Why wasn't Liuwei Dihuang Wan designed as a decoction? Perhaps we are sacrificing a bit of the herbal power for convenience when we prepare a formula differently from the original intent. Let's examine the importance of herbal formats. #TCM #EAM #ChineseMedicine #Herbs #pharmacognosy Join us! https://lnkd.in/g728n-tp
