In zhang disease, symptoms of phlegm rebellion, vomiting, and spontaneous diarrhea indicate that Spleen Earth lacks Yang Qi, constituting a deficiency-cold syndrome. Excessive sweating indicates Yang Qi leaking outward. Irritability, thirst with desire to drink, and red urine are caused by Yang Qi floating upward, leading to scorching and drying of the Heart and Lung. Headache and heart pain indicate severe external deficiency-cold. This formula uses the pungent and hot nature of Fuzi (Aconite) to warm the Spleen and consolidate leaking Yang Qi. Assisted by Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger), it disperses external cold. When taken cold, it guides the heat of the Heart and Lung downward, eliminating old cold in the Lower Jiao. Using heat to attack heat, it is an excellent prescription for treating severe zhang disease. The general principle refers to the discussion on Fuzi.
