3 Exterior Releasing Herb Properties o Chinese herbal medicinals that mainly disperse exterior pathogen and treat exterior pattern are called herbs that release the exterior. o Most medicinals in this chapter are acrid in flavour and dispersing in nature. Most of them act on the lung and bladder channels. o They mainly act on the fleshy exterior and can promote sweating to let the exterior pathogen out for curing the exterior patterns to avoid the pathological transmission. o Some herbs that release the exterior also can promote urination to alleviate edema, relieve cough and panting, promote eruption of papules, relieve pain, and remove sores. o Xi, Shengyan, and Yuewen Gong.
