2 herbs·from Shanghan Lun (Treatise on Cold Damage)

In the Shanghan Lun (《傷寒論》) tradition, this formula is described for a presentation after sweating, vomiting, or purging: a deficiency-type vexation with inability to sleep, and in severe cases restless tossing with an anguished oppression in the chest (xin-zhong ao-nao). A historical indication, not a modern diagnostic or treatment recommendation.
