Li Xu brought up Wang Xingguang's case and those of other recent patients, offering a detailed explanation of the pharmacological properties of Sour Jujube Seeds, particularly their ability to "moisten the lungs and nourish the yin."
"The main characteristic of this year's flu virus is pathogenic heat obstructing the lungs and impairing their purifying and descending functions. In the later stages, this depletes the lung yin, leading to dryness in the lungs and a dry cough. Sour Jujube Seeds can nourish liver blood to suppress the lung heat, while also directly moistening the lung yin to stop the cough. It's practically tailor-made for this condition."
"I adapted the principles behind the Ma Xing Gan Shi Tang Extract Decoction to create this improved formula," Li Xu explained.
Ding Kaifang nodded repeatedly as he listened.
He had also read many books on traditional Chinese medicine over the past six months.
While he was no match for Li Xu, he had a basic understanding.
