This formula belongs to the Shaoyang Gallbladder Channel and Jueyin Liver Channel. Ram gallbladder is bitter and cold, benefiting the Gallbladder and clearing heat; honey is sweet and moistening, tonifying the Middle Jiao and soothing the Liver. It is named "Two-Hundred-Flower Grass Paste" because sheep eat hundred herbs and bees gather hundred flowers. (Li Shizhen said: The Liver opens into the eyes. If bile decreases, vision dims. The eyes are the external manifestation of the Liver and the essence of the Gallbladder. Therefore, all animal gallbladders treat eye diseases.)
