Treats the five diseases of You Ge (Sorrowful Obstruction), Shi Ge (Food Obstruction), Yin Ge (Drink Obstruction), Qi Ge (Qi Obstruction), and Lao Ge (Fatigue Obstruction).

The symptoms include distressing fullness in the heart region, difficulty breathing, and back pain resembling stabbing sensations. After eating, the epigastrium becomes hard and distended like a mass of flour paste, accompanied by severe pain and an urge to vomit; vomiting brings relief. Food cannot go down. In severe cases, there is coldness in the hands and feet, rebellious Qi, cough, wheezing, and shortness of breath.

Heat should be felt in the throat and chest. When the medicinal effect begins to wane, hold another pill. Take three times during the day and twice at night. Cure after ten days of medication.

In summer, increase the dosage of Mai Dong, Gan Cao, and Ren Shen.
