12 herbs·from Shanghan Lun (Treatise on Cold Damage)
In the Shanghan Lun (《傷寒論》) tradition, this formula is described for a cold-damage illness wrongly purged on the eighth or ninth day: fullness of the chest, vexation and fright, inhibited urination, delirious speech, and a heaviness of the whole body so that one cannot turn over. A historical indication, not a modern diagnostic or treatment recommendation.
