Treats external contraction of Wind-Cold and internal injury from raw/cold food, manifesting as aversion to cold with high fever, dizziness and headache, stiffness and tension of limbs. It is effective regardless of whether the syndrome is primarily Wind or Cold. First, cover with a thick quilt and sleep, administer several doses of this medicine continuously, assisted by thin rice gruel, to induce slight sweating in the limbs. After the sweat dries, gradually remove the quilt, carefully avoid external wind, and the pathogen will naturally dissipate. If there was already spontaneous sweating, harmonize using warm and moistening methods; if residual heat remains, regulate slowly with Shen Su Yin (Ginseng and Perilla Decoction); if headache persists, administer Ru Sheng Bing Zi (Like-Sage Pills) with strongly decocted Shengjiang and Congbai tea. Once these three syndromes are resolved, no further medication is needed; simply regulate diet and adapt to temperature changes, and health will naturally return. Generally, regarding common colds, ancient physicians dared not lightly induce sweating because Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba) can open the couli (skin pores and interstices). If used improperly, it may drain true qi, leading to deficiency and generating other syndromes. This medicine is a mild formula that only warms the middle and releases the exterior, without recklessly disturbing the body's equilibrium. It also repels mountainous miasma and pestilential qi. For seasonal epidemics, regular use is especially beneficial.
