Xi Xin

Name

Xi Xin (Herba Asari)

The Effect of 细辛

Property

Pungent, warm, slightly toxic; lung, kidney and heart meridians entered.

Actions

Relieve exterior and dispel cold, dispel wind to alleviate pain, free nasal orifice and warm orifice and warm lung and relieve cough.

Indications

For exterior syndrome due to wind-cold, headache, toothache, arthralgia due to wind-damp, rhinorrhea with turbid discharge, and cough with dyspnea due to lung-cold.

Dosage and Administrations

Decoct 1~3 g. Take 0.5~1 g powder each time.

Cations

Prohibited for headache due to hyperactivity of yang caused by yin deficiency and dry cough caused by lung dryness hurting yin. It is not allowed to use it together with Li Lu.

When to see a doctor: herbal care suits mild, everyday issues. For worsening, severe, or sudden symptoms — or if you are pregnant, on medication, or treating a child — consult a licensed practitioner first.
