(Chai Hu) is bitter, slightly cold, and acts as a surface-releasing herb for the Gallbladder channel. It can raise sunken Yang Qi, guide clear Qi upward, and pacify pathogenic heat in the Shaoyang (Lesser Yang) and Jueyin (Terminal Yin) channels. It unblocks and smooths Qi and Blood. Freshly used, it regulates menstruation. It releases the exterior and is particularly effective at harmonizing the interior. It also treats Heat entering the Blood Chamber and dissipates sores and abscesses across the twelve channels. If taken when the disease is in the Taiyang (Greater Yang) channel, it may lead the pathogen inside ("invite the thief into the house"). If taken when the disease has entered the Yin channels, it will further weaken the exterior. Therefore, its use requires careful deliberation. Yin Chai Hu (Radix Cynanchi Stauntonii) specifically treats bone-steaming consumptive fever and the five types of pediatric malnutrition (Wu Gan).
