Sheng Pills

Sheng Pills,Although the condition may have initially been a case of “hair-related canker,” if wind-heat has invaded and the accumulation has not been fully cleared, leading to accumulated heat and toxic stagnation in the heart, even if treated with decoctions or powders, the condition may persist for a long time without resolution. Eventually, excessive heat may cause the production of phlegm, obstruction above the diaphragm, and chaotic qi in the heart and chest, which can develop into epilepsy. The symptoms may occur several times a day, with the condition progressing to frequent vomiting and diarrhea; the patient’s qi is weak and has not yet been tonified.
