Flavor Dynamics in Chinese Herbal Medicine: From Sweet Tonics to Salty Softening
In the realm of flavors within Chinese herbal medicine, Eric Brandt delves into their diverse applications.
The sweet flavor takes center stage in tonics, harmonizing the middle burner and supplementing vital elements like Chi, blood, yin, or yang. Sourness, associated with contraction, proves effective in addressing issues such as sweating and diarrhea. Bitterness, a multifaceted flavor, is employed for discharging and draining, suitable for treating heat, dampness, and consolidating Yin. The salty flavor, prevalent in animal products, serves to soften hardness and dissipate binds, finding applications in conditions like goiter and gynecological patterns. Brandt unfolds the nuanced roles each flavor plays in the dynamic landscape of Chinese herbal medicine.
