This is when Damp-Heat or a toxin enters the Xue level, depending on the severity, the doses of these strong herbs may be altered. In comparison to Shao Yao Tang, Bai Tou Weng Tang is better at clearing Heat and toxicity, but Shao Yao Tang can move Qi better so it is best used in situations where there is less Heat or toxicity but more Qi stagnation (pain and tenesmus).

Bai Tou Weng Tang conditions translate into any toxic attack causing the above symptoms, i.e. amebic dysentery, bacillary dysentery, or other conditions such as ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease.

Lorna McFadden, DCH

I have been a certified dental assistant for the past 16 years. Over that time I have been interested in many of the healing arts. In 1993, I became a reflexologist and continued to study other forms of alternative health. My passion for Homeopathy began when I was treated by a homeopath in 1998. I really resonated with the philosophy and treatment of homeopathy. Only after a few consultations I knew I had to become involved and help heal others. With restored health and a great deal of energy, I am driven to study this wonderful healing art. I have successfully completed the first milestone in my homeopathic career by graduating from the Vancouver Homeopathic Academy. I hope to write my Certification of Classical Homeopathy in the next few years. I am a member of the West Coast Homeopathic Society and regularly attend study sessions to stay updated and educated. I also attend local trade shows and educate the public on Homeopathy. I am recently married and reside in Langley with two cats and a golden retriever named Montana. My animals are wonderful homeopathic patients.
