An auxiliary substance added to a prescription (such as ginger, jujube, yellow wine, or scallion) to guide the medicinal power to the affected area or enhance efficacy.
SCAFFOLDING EFFECT
Reduce cognitive load
Vector booster. The prescription is the missile, the guide is the guidance system. For wind-cold, add scallion (to activate yang); for traumatic injuries, add yellow wine (to promote blood circulation). Seemingly insignificant, it determines the precision of the strike.
Anchor fast decisions
Originally refers to the guiding agent that directs the action to the affected meridian, harmonizes the other ingredients, or serves as a vehicle for administration; extended to mean 'a medium/fulcrum that guides force to a key point,' a strategy of leveraging low cost to achieve effect.
