Formula for Eliminating Shigella,For those who frequently suffer from shā syndrome.

Formulas Name : Formula for Eliminating Shigella

Chinese Name : 绝痧方

Drug Formulation

1 liang of licorice, 1 liang of alum, 1 liang of table salt, 1 qian of Sichuan aconite, and 3 qian of dried ginger.

Source

*The Jade Balance for Shā and Distension*, Volume 2.

Processing

Grind the ingredients into a fine powder and mix with steamed rice to form pills.

Benefits

For those who frequently suffer from shā syndrome.

Instructions for Use

Take 5 fen per dose, washed down with warm plain water. For a new onset of shā syndrome, 1–2 doses will bring about a cure; for chronic cases, 10 doses will result in a complete cure with no recurrence. For those with a deficiency-cold constitution, the dosage must be doubled and taken more frequently to be effective.

Note

This formula must only be taken after the shā syndrome has completely resolved to eradicate its root cause; otherwise, if even the slightest trace of shā qi remains, it must not be taken, as licorice may cause distension, and in cases of heat, it may aid the pathogenic factors, thereby causing harm.
