Qing Bu Wei Jing Tang

Qing Bu Wei Jing Tang is a traditional Chinese herbal formula, specifically a modified version of the classic Wei Jing Tang (Reed Decoction), with additional tonifying and nourishing herbs. The typical composition includes ingredients such as Mai Dong (Ophiopogon japonicus), Ban Xia (Pinellia ternata), Dang Shen (Codonopsis pilosula), Sheng Huang Qi (Astragalus membranaceus raw root), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhiza uralensis, licorice root), Jie Geng (Platycodon grandiflorus, balloon flower root), Lu Gen (Phragmites communis rhizome, reed rhizome), Dong Gua Ren (Benincasa hispida seed, winter melon seed or wax gourd seed in some sources but often substituted by Yi Yi Ren in practice for similar effect[1]), Sheng Yi Yi Ren/Coix lacryma-jobi var. ma-yuen raw seed, Yuan Zhi/Polygala tenuifolia root bark or whole herb for calming and expectorant effects[1], Tao Ren/Prunus persica kernel for blood activation[1]. The formula is used to clear heat from the lungs and transform phlegm while also supplementing qi and nourishing yin. It is indicated for conditions involving lung heat with underlying deficiency patterns. The mechanism of action involves synergistic effects of multiple herbs targeting lung inflammation and phlegm accumulation while supporting immune function and tissue repair through traditional Chinese medicine principles[1][5].
