Alcohol is also a product of Damp-Heat, hence both are treated together. Yinchen specifically regulates Damp-Heat and is essential for treating jaundice. Assisted by Zhuling and Zexie, body fluids are separated into the Bladder. Assisted by Baizhu and Fuling, Spleen Earth is strengthened to overcome Dampness. The function of Guizhi is to guide all herbs directly to the site of Heat, acting as vanguard troops.
