ChinaMed Psora Clear Formula 78c

Description

This formula was developed by Dr Zhou Qiming (1919 ‐ 1992), from Dalian city, Liaoning province, who received third grade in the National Science and Technology Progress Awards, 1990, for the development of his formula 'Yin Xiao Tang Pills' for the treatment of Psoriasis. The formula was published in 'Collection of Renowned (Chinese) TCM Doctors' Prescriptions', Dalian Publishing Company, 1992.

Clinical trials conducted in China during the 1970's and 1980's showed consistently high effectiveness rates when this formula was taken over a period of three to six months (75% ‐ 80%).

The formula addresses the major pathodynamics involved in psoriasis: Wind, Damp, Heat, Blood stasis and Heat Toxin. These factors tend to deplete the Blood and the Yin-Fluids over time. Therefore in protracted conditions it is often necessary to add formulas that nourish and move the Blood and regenerate the Body Fluids, as described above.
