The discussion above is on the main compatible methods of formulas for harmonization and resolution. Respecting formulas for harmonizing the shaoyang such as Xiăo Chái Hú Tāng (Minor Bupleurum Decoction), Hāo Qín Qīng Dăn Tāng (Sweet Wormwood and Scutellaria Gallbladder-Clearing Decoction) bear the marked function of treating malaria, and formulas for treating malaria such as Chái Hú Dá Yuán Yĭn (Bupleurum Membrane-Source-Opening Beverage), Qīng Pí Yĭn (Spleen-Clearing Beverage, 清脾饮) have a certain effect on harmonizing the shaoyang , therefore, these two formulas have a close relationship in the composition and clinical application. The reason is that the shaoyang is half-exterior and half-interior and is identical to malaria with evils occupying the membrane source in respect to diseased regions, main symptoms and treatment. Moreover, they are often treated with medicinals that can resolve pathogens of the shaoyang and concurrently have the function of treating malaria such as chái hú (Radix Bupleuri), qīng hāo (Herba Artemisiae Annuae), and so on. It is why they are classified as formulas for harmonization and resolution in the theory of formulas by medical specialists in the past and present. However, because of the evident specificity of malaria in its pathogenesis, concurrent pathogenic pathogens, onset season, symptoms and manifestations, the medicinals for interrupting malaria are eminent in the selection of the composition of formulas for treating malaria, which are partially different from formulas for harmonizing the shaoyang .In addition, in the modern science of formulas, formulas for treating malaria have become important research subjects in traditional Chinese formulas. Thus, the approach to compatible methods of formulas for harmonizing the shaoyang and formulas for treating malaria can be taken either as two aspects related to formulas for harmonization and resolution, or as an independent chapter respectively.
