Decoction to Disperse Heat and Eliminate Mania，From *Secret Records of the Stone Chamber*, Volume 3.，In women with “flower-induced epilepsy,” sudden epileptic episodes occur; upon seeing a man, they cling to him and refuse to let go. This stems from an unfulfilled longing for a man. The illness strikes suddenly like a violent storm or torrential rain, causing them to lose all sense of shame; they mistake any man they see for a lover. This condition arises from the withering of Liver Wood and intense internal fire, manifested by a string-like pulse at the cun position.

Instructions for Use
Decoct in water and administer orally. If the patient refuses to take it, have someone force-feed her; she will undoubtedly curse incessantly. After a while, she will grow weary and wish to lie down; upon waking, she will feel ashamed and shut herself in her room for three days. Give her small amounts of food and drink, and she will recover on her own. After one dose, it is not necessary to administer any further medication.
