For treating "Ghost Licking Head".

Another formula (From *Qianjin Fang*)

The so-called black spots on the face, resembling dark sesame seeds or sparrow eggs, sparse like scattered chess pieces, or dense enough that not even a needle can fit between them, are all caused by wind-pathogens lodging in the skin and phlegm-fluids infiltrating the tissue. Although there are standard formulas to dissipate them, relying solely on cosmetic applications day and night cannot permanently resolve the issue. Facial black spots arise from phlegm-fluids accumulating within the zang-fu organs or wind-pathogens invading the skin, leading to disharmony of qi and blood, thereby generating black spots. The five zang and six fu organs, along with the twelve meridians, all ascend to the face. Blood circulation nourishes both the interior and exterior. If phlegm-fluids accumulate in the zang-fu and wind-pathogens enter the couli (interstices), causing qi and blood disharmony—either stagnation or turbidity—the skin fails to receive proper nourishment, resulting in the formation of black spots.
