Apricot Seed & Perilla Formula

From at least the 14th century, there was concern among physicians that strong diaphoretic formulas, especially those containing ephedra (ma huang), were too harsh for many patients. In order to release exterior wind-cold, they used milder herbs which, in combination, had enough strength to expel even severe wind-cold. Apricot Seed & Perilla Formula (Xing Su Yin) emerged from these strategies as a formula that could not only strongly and safely disperse cold from the exterior but could also treat wind-cold that had entered the lungs, causing cough and wheezing.
