抱,意为养护;龙,象征纯阳之物。小儿体质属“纯阳无阴”,因此患病时易出现热象,热盛则生风,必须使用此药;其作用在于滋养阴液以平衡阳气,防止阳气过亢。此外,青龙对应东方,归属于肝木系统。小儿生理特点为“肝常有余,脾常不足”,因此该药旨在抑制过盛的肝气、扶持不足的脾气,故命名为“抱龙丸”。主治形体壮实、高热、昏睡且呼吸粗重,或痰多壅滞导致咳嗽、惊风抽搐等症状。

Bao (Embrace) implies nurturing; Long (Dragon) symbolizes a creature of pure Yang. Children's constitution is characterized as "pure Yang without Yin," so when ill, they tend to develop heat syndromes; excessive heat generates wind. Therefore, this medicine must be used to nourish Yin and balance Yang, preventing excess. Furthermore, the Azure Dragon corresponds to the East and is associated with the Liver Wood element. In children, the Liver is often in excess while the Spleen is often deficient. Thus, this medicine aims to suppress the Liver and support the Spleen, hence its name Baolong Wan (Embracing Dragon Pill). It treats conditions characterized by robust physique, high fever, lethargy with coarse breathing, or excessive phlegm causing coughing, as well as convulsions and spasms due to wind-stroke (Jing Feng).
