Treats bone-steaming fever and chills (a syndrome characterized by yin deficiency with internal heat, manifesting as a sensation of heat steaming from the bones accompanied by alternating chills and fever). The *Record of Famous Physicians* states: The daughter of Yang Sicheng from Mozhou was betrothed to Zheng Digong. She suffered from bone-steaming and flesh-heat disease. Her symptoms would flare up with external cold; after the cold passed, internal heat would attach to the bones and steam. During periods of intense steaming heat, her limbs were slightly emaciated, and the dorsum of her feet was swollen. The pathology lay within the five zang and six fu organs, yet many physicians failed to cure her. Later, she encountered Dr. Wu from Chuzhou who said, "Allow me to treat you." He prescribed only Shigao San (Gypsum Powder) to be taken orally. Her body became slightly cool, but the condition remained unchanged.
(The formula is found in *Lingyuan Fang*).
True Gypsum (Shigao) (quantity not limited, must be ground extremely fine).
Mix the above with freshly drawn cold water and take one fangcun bi (a measure roughly equivalent to a tablespoon) at a time. Stop when the body feels free of heat. (Consistent with records in *Waitai Miyao* and *Bencao*).
Treats limb fatigue and pain in men and women, and deficiency-labor with chills and fever. (From *Lingyuan Fang*)
