The Meridian Routes Of Herbs
The meridian routes of herbs refer to the meridians a given herb is capable of entering and travelling through, which accounts for two herbs with identical energy and flavor still displaying two different actions.
In clinical application, herbs are selected that travel through the meridians in the diseased regions. For instance, a hot herb is used to treat a cold disease and a cold herb is used to treat a hot disease, which are standard procedures in Chinese herbal therapy. But two hot herbs may have different actions, with one herb being good for the cold lungs syndrome while the other being good for the cold liver syndrome.
By the same token, one cold herb may be good for the hot spleen syndrome whereas another cold herb may be good for the hot lungs syndrome.
