bubble_chart Content Wang, female, 38 years old, visited in July 1983. In the midst of midsummer, the patient still wore thin cotton clothes, complaining of aversion to wind and spontaneous sweating. She felt a bone-chilling wind when slightly undressed, with cold sweats all over her body, and discomfort when more than 5 meters away from an electric fan. She had taken a large amount of Aconite Lateral Root and other warming medicines without effect. She reported being prone to external contraction, having a poor appetite, lack of strength, a pale tongue with thin coating, and a slow, fine pulse. The syndrome was identified as qi deficiency and nutrient-defense disharmony. She was treated with the original formula of Cinnamon Twig Decoction. After taking 5 doses, the patient switched to wearing woolen clothes. With further adjustments to the prescription, after taking more than 10 doses, the spontaneous sweating was cured.
