Peony, Licorice, and Aconite Decoction

傷寒論

After inducing sweating, if the disease does not resolve and aversion to cold instead appears, this is due to deficiency; Shao Yao Gan Cao Fu Zi Tang governs it. (Shang Han Lun (Treatise on Cold Damage))

Shao Yao and Gancao, each 3 liang (prepared); Fuzi 1 piece (roasted, peeled, broken into 8 pieces). The above three ingredients, with 5 sheng of water, boil down to 1 sheng and 5 ge; remove the dregs and take warm in three divided doses. (Shang Han Za Bing Lun)

Boil 9 bowls of water down to 3 bowls over medium-low heat for more than 1.5 hours. Take 1 bowl warm after each of the three meals.

湯劑
