Benefits

Phlegm Mass. Caused by exposure to the Seven Emotions or external pathogenic factors, phlegm fails to circulate freely, accumulating in one area and lurking within the meridians, resulting in a phlegm mass on the back. Its shape may be round, misshapen, or resemble a rice sack, and it is as hard as stone.

Instructions for Use

Take 2–3 qian per dose on an empty stomach, washed down with wine or honeyed hot water. The treatment is complete when all the phlegm has been expelled through the stool. If it does not pass, take another dose; once it passes, replenish with thin congee.

Note

Once the hardened area becomes soft and pliable like cotton, take more than half a dose of the *Ren Shen Nei Tuo San* before taking this downward-acting medicine; otherwise, it will do more harm than good. One should cultivate a calm mind and reduce desires, avoid anger and anxiety, and abstain from greasy, raw, cold foods, as well as garlic and eggplant.
