Andrographis Leaf Powder … Classic Formulas
Chuan Xin Lian Ye · Folium Andrographitis
Primary Actions
- Clears heat and resolves fire toxicity, especially for sore throat, respiratory infection, and toxic-heat inflammation affecting the upper burner.
- Dries damp-heat from the intestines and lower burner, making the leaf powder useful in dysentery, diarrhea, urinary burning, and damp-heat toxicity patterns.
- Cools the blood and reduces swelling when heat toxin presents with abscess, mastitis, or inflamed tissue.
Classic Formulas
- Chuan Xin Lian Pian, a modern single-herb patent lineage using Andrographis material for acute respiratory and inflammatory heat conditions.
Classical Text References
- Traditional use follows the same heat-clearing and toxicity-resolving lane as Chuan Xin Lian generally, with emphasis on intensely bitter leaf material.
- The leaf record should stay therapeutically aligned with the whole-herb record unless future source data clearly separates them.
