Strange syndrome: Excessive pain in the fingertips of hands and feet, eventually leading to the loss of all ten fingers. This results from excessive intake of cooling agents, causing fire-stagnation accumulation in the limbs. Apply Lingxian Jiu (Clematis Wine) topically, and internally administer herbs that clear fire and promote urination for recovery. For patients whose fingers continue to weep fluid after illness, this method is also effective.
