Instructions for Use
All ingredients above should be stir-fried until black. Add 6 fen of Cinnamomum cassia and 4 fen of Glycyrrhiza uralensis, then decoct and take orally. Consider the patient’s physical constitution—if the vital energy is too strong, this formula should not be used; it is also contraindicated in cases of collapse syndrome. However, if the pulse is slow with three beats per breath and the hands and feet are cold to the touch, this formula is remarkably effective.
