Ban Jie Decoction

Ban Jie Decoction,When stagnant qi fails to disperse and is further compounded by wind-pathogen invading the Shaoyang meridian, it leads to unilateral headache that fluctuates in severity. The pain lessens in favorable circumstances and intensifies in adverse ones; when faced with frustrating or oppressive events—especially during cold and windy weather—the pain becomes so severe that the patient cannot leave the house. If the condition persists for many years, the affected eye will inevitably become smaller.
