Benefits
Due to prior deficiency from another illness, or deficiency of both qi and blood following childbirth, or a constitutionally delicate and frail constitution, the epidemic pathogen lingers in the chest and heart, causing a sensation of fullness and distension. Purgation further exacerbates the deficiency, impairing the spleen’s ability to transport and transform, causing the pathogenic factors to linger; the more one purges, the more severe the fullness becomes. In cases of deficiency-type fullness following purgation for epidemic disease, with no fever or thirst and a regular yet weak pulse,
Instructions for Use
Administer as usual. As in the previous syndrome, the fullness should resolve after one dose. If there are signs of needing purgation, and after purgation the pulse is firm but the fullness persists, purge again.
Note
If the patient presents with tidal fever, thirst, and a rapid pulse accompanied by fullness, administering this formula will lead to immediate disaster.
