Dampness-heat pouring down, congealing into abscess, the first priority is to remove toxin and drain dampness, allowing the pathogenic toxin to be expelled through urination. Therefore, a heavy dose of Lonicera and Diding is used to clear heat and remove toxin; Poria and Cheqian to promote urination and drain dampness; Achyranthes Root to guide the medicinal effects downward to the affected area and assist in excretion.
