The chief herb, huang lian, which is extremely bitter in taste and extreme to cold in nature, clears the fire in the heart and middle burner. The deputy herb, huang qin, clears fire in the upper burner. The assistant herb, huang bo, clears fire in the lower burner. The guide herb, zhi zi, eliminates heat evil by purgation, guiding fire downwards so it is eventually eliminated by purgation. Therefore the main function of this formula is to drain the heat or fire from the entire body.
