What is the difference between Sangjuyin and Yinqiaosan?

In our lives, when we get a disease, we need treatment. Generally speaking, people will choose Western medicine first, but in addition to Western medicine, you can also choose Chinese medicine treatment, and the effect is still very good. There are many types of Chinese medicine, and sometimes many Chinese medicinal materials need to be combined with each other to exert good effects. So, what is the difference between Sangjuyin and Yinqiaosan?

Yinqiao Powder, Yusangju Drink and other prescriptions are both pungent and cool prescriptions for treating the initial stage of febrile diseases. The composition includes five herbs: Forsythia suspensa, Platycodon grandiflorum, Licorice, Mint and Phragmites australis. However, Yinqiao Powder uses honeysuckle with schizonepeta, fermented black beans, burdock seeds, and bamboo leaves, which have strong effects in clearing away heat and clearing away exterior pathogens, and is a "spicy and cool and neutral" medicine. On the other hand, Sangju Drinking Mulberry Leaves, chrysanthemum with almonds, has strong lung-clearing effects, but its effects in clearing away heat and clearing away exterior pathogens are weaker than those of Yinqiao Powder, and is therefore a "spicy and cool and light" medicine.

The key points of Yinqiao Powder for syndrome differentiation are: fever, slight aversion to cold, sore throat, thirst, and floating pulse! The key points of Sangju Yin for syndrome differentiation are: cough, mild fever, slight thirst, and floating pulse!
