Qian Yi stated: Heat arises from fright; using dispersing medicines causes heat to enter the exterior, thus exterior heat does not recede and spots appear. It is suitable to take this. For high heat, promote urination; for mild heat, resolve toxicity. If eruptions are fast, do not use exterior-releasing or purgative methods; it is suitable to take Baolong Wan.
