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.
