Clear Heat / Dry Damp: Bai Xian Pi

Bai Xian Pi = "white fresh bark" (Itching, sores, painful obstructions due to damp heat)

bitter
SP/ST
cold

Clears heat at the blood level, therefore good at eliminating toxins and alleviating itching due to sores, rashes, eczema, other dermatological disorders. Wind heat or damp heat sores, carbuncles, rashes. Vaginal pruritis (itch) with discharge. Funny enough its nickname is "burning bush root."


Bensky doesn't say so, but Dennis does, that Bai Xian Pi is also used for Damp-Heat Bi syndrome in the extremities. You can think of the herb as little white arms.
Above: shows a rashy arm, not bi zheng in the extremities, but you get the picture.

Can be used topically as well.
