此汤与各半证治相类方亦相类但彼以不得小汗而面热身痒。故减小桂枝汤之制而加麻黄杏仁。此以胃热无津而不能
作汗。故减小大青龙之制去杏仁而加石膏以杏仁下气走表。非无津者所宜石膏辛凉化热正胃热者所喜尔。

This decoction is similar in syndrome treatment and formula composition to Guizhi Er Yuebi Yi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Twice and Pueraria-Shell Decoction One). However, that syndrome involves inability to produce slight sweating, resulting in facial heat and body itching. Therefore, the dosage of Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) is reduced, and Ephedrae Herba (Mahuang, 麻黄) and Apricot Seed (Xingren, 杏仁) are added. This syndrome involves stomach heat and fluid depletion preventing sweating. Therefore, the dosage of Da Qinglong Tang (Major Green Dragon Decoction) is reduced, Apricot Seed (Xingren, 杏仁) is removed, and Gypsum Fibrosum (Shigao, 石膏) is added. Since Apricot Seed (Xingren, 杏仁) directs qi downward and moves outward, it is unsuitable for those with fluid depletion. Gypsum Fibrosum (Shigao, 石膏) is pungent and cool, transforming heat, which is precisely what is favored by those with stomach heat.
