"Clearing Upper Wind Soup?"
Sun Qing had never heard of this formula, of course, but that didn't stop her curiosity.
Li Xu explained in detail, "In the formula, certain herbs work to 'expel wind.' They can drive the wind-heat and dampness out from the surface of your skin, like opening up a detoxification channel for your body.
Forsythia Suspensa and Huang Qin are for 'clearing heat and detoxifying.' They specifically target the inflammation of the red, swollen acne on your face, quickly reducing swelling and pain.
Fresh Rehmannia Glutinosa can 'cool the blood,' clearing the 'fire toxin' from your body and reducing the formation of acne at its source.
Raw gypsum is for 'clearing lung heat.' In Chinese medicine, we believe 'the lungs govern the skin and hair.' Once the heat in your lung meridian is cleared, the acne on your forehead will naturally decrease.
