qingre huatan tongfu decoction

Qingre Huatan Tongfu Decoction is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) herbal formulation developed by The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University. It is specifically indicated for the treatment of conscious disturbances in patients with craniocerebral injury, particularly those presenting with the TCM syndrome of 'phlegm heat and mental obstruction.' The decoction's name describes its primary therapeutic actions: 'Qingre' (clearing heat), 'Huatan' (transforming phlegm), and 'Tongfu' (unblocking the bowels). By promoting bowel movements and clearing internal heat and phlegm, the treatment aims to reduce intracranial pressure and improve neurological outcomes. In clinical settings, it is often administered via proctoclysis (rectal drip) to accommodate patients with impaired consciousness.
