When Wang Shaoyu mentioned that, Xie Zhinuan seriously started to think about it.
"Then I'll write one, and you help me see if it could work!"
"Sure!"
Take Xie Yi's cold as an example.
Xie Yi's nose was bright red, his eyes also seemed to have reddened bloodshot, he had a slight cough, and a bit of a fever.
"The fever caused by a wind-heat type of cold, slight aversion to wind-chill, head and body aches, dry mouth with thirst, nasal congestion with turbid discharge, redness and soreness of the throat, cough, and yellow sticky phlegm.
We need herbs that release the exterior through pungency and are cooling in nature, to clear heat and detoxify!"
Xie Yi was young and certainly couldn't handle bitter tastes, so definitely we can rule out overly bitter medicines; Rhizoma Coptidis was not even to be considered.
Xie Zhinuan wrote a prescription and asked Wang Shaoyu to help have a look.
