Benefits

Dampness predominates over heat, obstructing the membrane and original orifices.

Note

If dampness has already been resolved and heat has already been expelled, but the “ministerial fire” is raging, administering this formula will actually fuel the fire further, depleting bile and scorching liver yin, thereby leading to a condition where intense fire generates wind, accompanied by spasms and syncope. Caution is advised when using this formula.
