For chronic conditions, three doses will suffice.

bubble_chart Indications

When pathogenic qi invades the five zang and six fu organs, the Weiqi alone defends the exterior, circulates in the yang, and cannot enter the yin. Circulating in the yang leads to an excess of yang qi, which causes the collapse of the yang qiao and prevents entry into the yin, resulting in yin deficiency. Hence, the eyes cannot close. ... Supplement what is deficient, drain what is excessive, regulate the deficiency and excess, unblock the pathways, and eliminate the pathogenic factors. Administer one dose of Pinellia Decoction, and once yin and yang are harmonized, sleep will come immediately. ... This is what is meant by clearing blockages, ensuring the free flow of meridians, and achieving harmony between yin and yang.
