Since the Gallbladder and San Jiao are interiorly-exteriorly related Heat in the Gallbladder effects the water metabolism of the San Jiao which causes internal dampness. Together these create Damp and Heat which can cause hot painful difficult urination that is dark yellow and smelly, possible smelly leukorrhea or menstrual irregularities in women, along with other conditions that affect the external genitalia (herpes, eczema, tinea).
T- red with yellow coat, P- wiry. The use of Dan Zhi Xiao Yao San may be used for similar although milder cases with signs of stagnation.

Hot pungent Wu Zhu Yu directs Huang Lian to the Liver, moves Qi, directs Qi downward, and moves stagnation. Six times the amount of Huang Lian to Wu Zhu Yu moderates the Heat of Wu Zhu Yu as to not worsen the condition. *Do not use with cases of deficient Stomach cold.

Dan Zhu Ye (herba lophatheri gracilis) 3-6g***
Gan Cao Shao (tips of radix glycyrrhizae uralensis) 3-6g****

If the Heat is excess one can add Huang Lian. If the Heat is deficient one can add Shi Hu and Zhi Mu.
In comparison to Ba Zheng San, Dao Chi San clears Heat from the Heart and upper Jiao (Ba Zheng San from the low Jiao), nourishes the Yin (Ba Zheng San does not), and has a weaker effect at treating painful urinary problems than does Ba Zheng San. Xiao Ji Yin Zi (a modification of Dao Chi San, cools Blood and stops bleeding in the urine secondarily to draining Fire. Xiao Ji Yin Zi also moves Blood Stasis.

King Sang Bai Pi drains Heat from the Lungs and calm wheezing and cough. Di Gu Pi the secondary herb clears Heat from deficiency. This formula is good for children because the 2 main herbs are sweet and cold instead of the usual bitter and cold, although it may be too cold for some with Spleen deficiency (even after Sang Bai Pi and Gan Cao are fried, and Geng Mi is added to protect the Spleen), these aspects also make Xie Bai San useful when it is hard to determine whether a condition is excess or deficiency.
This can be used for such conditions as bronchitis, pneumonia, pertussis, late stage flu.

Bai Tou Weng (radix pulsatillae chinensis) 6g* [best herb to clear Damp-Heat and relieve Fire toxin for dysenteric disorders]
Huang Lian (rhizoma coptidis) 9g**

Qin Pi (cortex fraxini) 9g***

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 disease.

Once Heat has lodged deep inside the body, clearing Heat as well as nourishing the Yin is essential. Only nourishing the Yin can trap the Heat inside (give wood to the fire and make it worse!). Also bitter cold herbs should be used with great caution as they can damage the Yin.
This formula focuses more on externally contracted pathogenic febrile disorders that have subsided and lodged Heat deep inside, or a warm febrile has damaged the fluids thus leaving deficient Heat after its remission. Today this formula is considered for use with severe menopausal syndromes manifesting with the signs and symptoms above.

Gan Cao (radix glycyrrhizae uralensis) 1 part
***Grind together into powder, take 9-18g
Indications: summer-heat easily disturbs the Heart causing fever, sweat (the fluid of the Heart), and irritability. The sweat injures the fluids causing thirst, the Heat and possibly Damp injures the Qi which may cause Bladder Qi problems (urinary difficulty), T- thin yellow and greasy, P- rapid and may be soggy (if damp invades with Heat).

The focus of this formula is to generate fluids, thus it may be compared to Zhu Ye Shi Gao Tang.
Note: if there is Dampness involved in this invasion, modifications should be made to this formula because it is very Yin nourishing and sticky.
