It was also known that northernTing-Li-Zi has strong effect and southernTing-Li-Zi had moderate effect. However, there was no strict classification between two types in current clinical practice. The disease prevention and treatment effect of Chinese herbs were depended on their internal features. Disease treatment must be based on syndrome differentiation with corresponding selection of herbs to achieve desired results. Therefore, it is necessary to combine properties with actions in the study of Chinese herbs to provide guidance in clinical practice.
