Sang Ju Yin

This is a very effective and commonly used formula. Its function of reducing heat and heat-toxin is stronger than that of Sang Ju Yin (Mulberry Leaf and Chrysanthemum Decoction), yet it is weaker in regulating the Lung-Qi. This formula, devised by Dr Wu Ju Tong, treats a common case of wind-heat syndrome. 

Comment This formula is similar in many ways to the preceding one. The key to distinguishing these is that Yin Qiao San is for exterior wind heat with fever and sore throat, while Sang Ju Yin is for exterior wind heat with less fever and toxins but more serious cough.
