Additional Information on Ding Chuan Tang
This TCM Herbal formula should be compared to that of Ma Xing She Gan Tang (Ephedra, Apricot Kernel Gypsum and Licorice Decoction) because both of these formulas are used to treat lung disorders.

Ma Xing She Gan Tang is better at relieving disorders due to excess heat. Another formula which is used for similar disorders is called Xie Bai San (Drain the White Powder) but this formula is generally used to treat deficiency lung heat instead of excessive heat. When the appropriate symptoms are present this Chinese medicine formula is able to treat such disorders as chron ic bron chitis, bronchial asthma and bron chiolitis.
