Indications: KI
yin deficiency leads to deficient HT fire (water below cannot
balance the King Fire above) causing night sweats, fever, red face
in the afternoon, anxiety, irritability, dry lips, mouth, and
throat, dry stool, dark scanty urine. When the patient wakes the
sweating stops. T- red dry, P- thin rapid
This formula is quite strong at clearing deficient Heat and
nourishing the Yin. Caution should be taken if there are signs of a
weak middle Jiao (bitter cold could further injure the Spleen
Stomach).
