bubble_chart Preparation and Dosage

bubble_chart Indications

Beriberi enters the abdomen, causing distress and a feeling of impending death, with abdominal distension and fullness.

bubble_chart Formula Principles

Abdominal discomfort and restlessness, difficulty in breathing, if not treated quickly with detoxifying medicine, will inevitably lead to malign qi internally fumigating the five zang-organs, causing the triple energizer nutrient-defense to be obstructed, making treatment difficult. It is like a wound soaked in a stream, those on the limbs are easy to treat, but this wound toxin does not pass through the meridians, and even those that originate externally from the skin are still difficult, let alone wind toxins that enter through the meridians and internally connect to the five zang-organs. In such extreme cases of internal invasion of the abdomen, nothing surpasses the Floweringqince Fruit Pill and Evodia Decoction, which are the most effective in rescuing from dire situations. After taking these, even if evil toxins and dampness come in abundance, they will have no way to enter.
