The spirit of “supplemented by bitter and sweet”, the sweet taste of licorice is used to regulate the middle and dissipate heat and harmonize all the medicines as an adjuvant; then the sweet taste of japonica rice is used to protect the stomach qi as an ambassador, and licorice is used with Zhi Mu to strengthen the rule of “supplemented by sweet and bitter”, which can not only slow down the middle and benefit the qi (heat hurts the qi), but also monitor the cold of gypsum and Zhi Mu, which can not only clear heat, but also protect the stomach qi. It can also regulate the cold of gypsum and Zhi Mu, so it can clear heat, generate fluid, and protect stomach qi without harming the middle jiao.
”White Tiger” for the representative of the West, Chinese medicine, the West also represents the autumn, the meaning of White Tiger soup, is to say that when the heat is too strong, as in the summer when the summer heat is hot, a cool autumn breeze (refers to take the White Tiger soup), the summer heat immediately dissipated. Therefore, the name of the soup is taken as white tiger, saying that it can clear the nature of heat. So this soup for the treatment of hyperthermia, can be said to be as effective as the rafter, immediate results. Some physicians, when treating serious illnesses, have increased the amount of raw gypsum to 60-90 grams or even 120-150 grams, and saved lives. However, clinical doctors must also be familiar with the contraindications of Bai Hu Tang, otherwise it will cause the disaster of “death if swallowed”. In later times, when treating the qi part of warm fever, doctors also mainly used Bai Hu Tang for treatment, and the effect was very good. In order to prohibit the abuse of this soup by doctors, the famous book “Wenzhi Zhuanzhi” has written “four prohibitions of Bai Hu” to warn future generations, which is recorded here to remind everyone not to misuse it. The “warm disease Article of Discernment” Article 9 says: “white tiger originally to reach the heat out of the table, if the person’s pulse floating string and thin, not with also; pulse sinking, not with also; not thirsty, not with also; sweat does not come out, not with also. It is often necessary to know this, do not make mistakes.

If the table is not relieved, no sweat and thirsty, and can not be served, only belong to the pig ling soup.” Also said: “no sweat and thirsty and single floating pulse, do not throw Baihu.”
