Jie Nue Qi Bao Yin截疟七宝饮
Seven-Treasure Drink to Check Malarial Disorders
Ingredients7 herbs
Indications
Malarial disorder of the phlegm-damp type in a patient whose upright qi is still intact. Repeated attacks have not resolved, and phlegm-damp obstruction is the reason the pathogen keeps re-emerging.
Clinical Manifestations
- Malarial disorder recurring after repeated attacks
- Attacks with pronounced chest and epigastric stuffiness
- Nausea with a greasy tongue coat during a periodic fever
- Robust patients whose attacks have not responded to harmonizing alone
Health Categories
Modern Applications
Common adjustments
- Heat predominating in the attacks — add Huang Qin 黄芩 and Chai Hu 柴胡
- Cold predominating with a cold abdomen — add Gan Jiang 干姜
- Nausea from Chang Shan — take the decoction cold, and add Sheng Jiang 生姜 — the classical way of moderating that effect
Contraindications
Chang Shan readily induces vomiting and is not a gentle herb: keep the course short, do not exceed the prescribed dose, and stop if vomiting is severe. The formula is unsuitable for patients who are weak, elderly, depleted by long illness, or yin deficient, and it must not be used as a long-term preventive. Suspected malaria requires prompt medical diagnosis and treatment — do not rely on herbs alone.
For licensed practitioners’ reference only — not a self-treatment guide.
Pregnancy
Contraindicated in pregnancy — Chang Shan is a strongly emetic herb and Bing Lang and Qing Pi break qi downward. Do not use while pregnant or breastfeeding.
