In the past, a woman suffered from mania and madness for years without cure. Later, she met an enlightened master who taught her this prescription. Upon initial intake, she felt as though something was expelled from her chest and heart, and her spirit became refreshed. After a second dose, she fully recovered.

Dahuang and Mangxiao clear excessive heat in the Stomach; Danggui nourishes Blood and benefits Yin; Gancao moderates the middle Jiao. Ginger and Jujube are added to guide the medicine into the Stomach. The goal is profuse bowel movement.
