Jaundice due to sexual intemperance, with yellowing of the body and eyes, fever and chills, slight abdominal distension and fullness, difficulty in urination, darkening of the forehead, and heat in the soles of the feet.

bubble_chart Formula Principles

The syndrome of jaundice due to sexual intemperance treated by this formula is caused by internal heat and blood stasis. In the formula, the salty and cold nature of the stone moves the blood and can dissipate and expel the heat-stagnated blood; alum can clear heat from the kidneys and bladder. The combination of these two herbs works together to achieve the effects of dissipating stasis and clearing heat.
