bubble_chart Formula Principles

Aconite Mother Root is highly pungent and hot, effective in treating deep-seated cold and chronic cold, and can relieve pain. When decocted with honey, it not only mitigates the toxicity of Aconite Mother Root but also enhances its pain-relieving effects and prolongs its therapeutic efficacy. The combination of these two herbs is therefore suitable for yang deficiency with accumulated internal cold, where cold qi is tightly bound and causes cold abdominal colic and abdominal pain. However, Aconite Mother Root is toxic and must be decocted for a long time. Dosage and administration must be carefully monitored to prevent poisoning. If symptoms such as rapid breathing, increased heart rate, intermittent pulse, or even unconsciousness occur after ingestion, immediate emergency treatment is required.
