- Abstract: Ma-huang Lian-yao Chi-xiao-dou Tang is one of the three formulas for typhoid jaundice.But it has not received much attention,and the source of Lian-yao in the formula is unknown and the status and role are difficult to identify.In this paper,we first analyzed the functions of Ephedra and the symptoms of the whole formula.The formula was mainly used to"clear damp-heat"in order to remove jaundice.On this basis,it is proved that Lian-yao is the root of Forsythia,not"Qiao-gen".Today,the use of Forsythia instead of Lian-yao has the same effect.Then,the indispensable and important position of Forsythia in the formula was analyzed.It also pointed out some valuable directions for the medicinal use and research and development of Forsythia based on its wide range of effects but the lack of main symptoms.This paper provides insights for in-depth theoretical and practical research on Forsythiae Fructus.
