		       Sheng Ma Actions and Indications
	  
        - Strongly Raises SP Yang (shortness of breath, fatigue, prolapse 
          of organs due to SP yang qi sinking, acts as an upward guiding herb)
 
        - Release exterior; vents measles (fever, itching, 
          external wind-heat headache, sore throat or early stage measles)
 
        - Clears toxic heat (fire toxin in upper portion of 
          body, particularly in mouth and throat: toothache, red swollen painful 
          gums, lip ulcers, canker sores, painful swollen throat)

		Special Notes:
        - 3 herbs commonly combined to treat prolapse of internal organs are 
          Sheng Ma, Chai Hu, and Ge 
          Gen. A comparison of Ge Gen, Chai Hu, and Sheng 
          Ma reveals that Ge Gen is weakest to lift SP 
          yang while Sheng Ma is strongest to lift 
          SP yang.
