The *Neijing* (Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon) states: "When heat dominates internally, treat with salty-cold substances; assist with bitter and sweet." Mangxiao is salty and cold to eliminate heat; Dahuang is bitter and cold to purge excess accumulation; Gancao is sweet and neutral, assisting these two herbs to push out the old and generate the new.
Crush the herbs to the size of hemp seeds. Use one large cup of water, decoct Mangxiao and Dahuang until three-tenths remain. Strain the dregs, add Mangxiao, boil for two or three more boils, and take at once. Time is not restricted.

The *Neijing* states: "When dryness dominates, purge with bitter substances." The bitterness of Dahuang and Zhishi eliminates dryness-heat. It also says: "When dryness dominates internally, treat with bitter-warm substances." The bitterness of Nongpo purges knotting and fullness. Furthermore: "When heat dominates, treat with salty-cold substances." The salinity of Mangxiao attacks accumulated heat.
Take the above four herbs, use five sheng of water, first decoct Dahuang and Zhishi until three sheng remain. Strain the dregs, add Dahuang, decoct until two sheng remain.
