Concept of the Jiao Yao or Corner Herbs
 
The definition of “Jiao Yao 角药“ is the combination of three herbs in a group such as Ma Huang, Lian Qiao and Chi Xiao Dou” or “Huang Lian, Wu Zhu Yu and Shi Hu”. The concept is based on [Dao De Jing: Chapter 42]: said: “The Tao produced One; One produced Two; Two produced Three; Three produced All things.” This literally means that there is a formation of a three-legged condition like a triangle implying the relationships of the three herbs have an effect of being opposite with simultaneous unification creating a condition whereby the outcome is being both opposite and complementary.

This means that Yin and yang elements are both opposites and at the same time unified suggesting that apart from yin and yang, there is a condition of combined yin and yang. In accordance to the eight guiding principles, all the elements are not totally opposite ie heat and cold per se and clinically there can be a complex heat and cold; thus a heat pattern can incorporate cold and vice versa.

Conversely, an excess pattern can be a complex excess and deficiency pattern. For example, the stagnation of blood stasis may impede the engendering of new blood and creating a deficient pattern.  Another example of qi deficiency may affect the circulation of blood and water movement. 

Clinically, Jiao Yao can be divided into four categories: (1) Complementary; (2) Simultaneous treatment of multiple aetiologies; (3) Combination of opposite herbs; (4) Adjuvant correction. An example of the Adjuvant correction herbs is: Huang Qi and Dang Gui are both tonifying and warm herbs and are not appropriate for patient suffering from deficiency of qi and blood with deficient heat. Therefore, Zhi Mu is added in the group to negate the warm properties of Huang Qi and Dang Gui.
