Gualou Gen (Radix Trichosanthis, 2 qian)
Baigansui (Radix Kansui, 1 qian)
Stir-fry the above herbs over a slow fire until scorched yellow, grind into a uniform powder. Take one zi dose each time, mixed with decoction of Shexiang (Moschus) and Bohe (Mentha), at any time.

Jinghai's Note: The "Juzhen Ben" edition has the character "Hua" (Flower) after "Jinyin". Aurum can calm the Heart and Liver, and settle the soul and spirit, which correctly treats fright and epilepsy. Nowadays, people often use gold and silver vessels to boil water for taking medicine, which follows the ancient meaning. The character "Hua" is an interpolation (redundant character). In the formula below Liangjing Wan, there is also the character "Hua", which is also redundant.
