A man, 40 years old, has been suffering from abdominal pain for over ten years, accompanied by cold limbs. Initially, taking "Cold-Extremities Decoction" was effective, but later it no longer worked. Observing his pulse and symptoms, he was still diagnosed with the Cold-Extremities Decoction syndrome, indicating that the disease was severe but the medicine was too mild. The first prescription used Aconite Lateral Root 30g, Dried Ginger 15g, and Liquorice Root 15g, but there was no change in the condition.

For the second consultation, the dosage was changed to Aconite Lateral Root 60g, Liquorice Root 30g, and Dried Ginger 30g, yet there was still no improvement. At this point, observing his pulse and symptoms, it was clear that the pudendal coldness had not been resolved. Therefore, the prescription was adjusted to Aconite Lateral Root 120g, Dried Ginger 60g, and Liquorice Root 60g. After taking this medication, the condition was indeed cured, and there has been no recurrence in several years of follow-up.
