A mixture that should not be missing from any home medicine cabinet, for conditions that we have experienced countless times ourselves and in our families... We are blown by a cold wind or we "catch a virus". For various reasons (either we do not catch the first signs of illness, or we underestimate them, or we are already exhausted from other causes), the pathogen moves from the "surface" to the "interior" of the organism. Symptoms such as a mild fever or chills with shivering, a blocked nose, headaches, a stiff neck, muscle and joint pain – "the whole person" feeling, mild sweating or its complete cessation, suddenly begin to be accompanied by symptoms of heat... It usually starts with a feeling of "hot breath", then the fever rises quickly, already above 38.5 °C, but it still alternates with chills, our throat starts to hurt, we are irritable... It is precisely for this mixture of surface symptoms and those that already correspond to an affliction of the Yang Ming section (the largest section in the body, "full of Qi and blood", into which a battle characterized by "great" heat symptoms rages when a pathogen enters) that Chai Ge Jie Ji Tang is the best solution.
In the name of the mixture are two important herbs, Bupleurum and Kudzu, which help to release the wind pathogen from the surface; Kudzu also beautifully relaxes stiff muscles in the neck, shoulders and upper back area. In this, it is further assisted by the trio of Dahurian Angelica, Notopterygium and Peony, and together they alleviate the unpleasant, well-known pain and aching. Scutellaria clears the forming heat and Platycodon relaxes and restores the proper flow of Qi in the lung area, similar to the famous trio of Liquorice, Ginger and Jujube in the "middle" area. The mixture thus also prevents stagnation and the further formation of full heat. The fever subsides, the muscles, head and neck stop hurting, and our energy and strength quickly return.
Symptoms of an external wind attack (often cold) changing into heat:
A completely unique mixture that treats the transition of a pathogen from the surface to the inside of the body, which usually needs to be administered sooner than we think – in winter, immediately when hot breath appears during an external attack and the aversion to cold and "chilling" changes into heat. You have a few hours before the inflammation fully develops! That is exactly why you need to have it at home in your medicine cabinet.
