San Si Decoction

San Si Decoction,Buddhist nuns, widows, unmarried women, and wives or concubines whose husbands have been away for a long time and have not returned—suffering from pent-up longing and emotional distress, yearning for a man but unable to find one—experience a silent rise of internal heat that dries up the yin fluids and depletes liver blood. This leads to blood depletion and cessation of menstruation, fever in the morning and at night, night sweats, and phantom sexual encounters. Over time, they lose their appetite, feel physically exhausted, develop rough, scaly skin, and their complexion becomes dark and sallow, eventually developing into dry blood consumption.
