此汤治疗少阳经邪气侵犯本脏的证候。所以在原方中除去甘草、黄芩等行阳的药物，而加大黄行阴以攻下邪气，兼用茯苓来分利小便，龙骨、牡蛎、铅丹来镇摄肝胆之怯。桂枝用来通血脉之滞。这与救逆汤意义相同，救逆汤用桂枝、龙骨、牡蛎、蜀漆来镇摄太阳经火逆所致的神志紊乱；此方用柴胡兼龙骨、牡蛎、铅丹来镇摄少阳经误下所致的烦闷惊悸。这也是不易改变的定法。

This decoction treats the syndrome where pathogenic factors of the Shaoyang channel invade its associated organ. Therefore, in the base formula, the yang-moving herbs Gan Cao and Huang Qin are removed, while Da Huang is added to move yin and purge the pathogen downward. Fu Ling is used to separate and promote urination. Long Gu, Mu Li, and Qian Dan are used to calm the timidity of the Liver and Gallbladder. Gui Zhi is used to unblock stagnation in the blood vessels. This shares the same principle as Ji Ni Tang (Rescue from Perishing Decoction), which uses Gui Zhi, Long Gu, Mu Li, and Shu Qi (Rhizoma Polygoni Multiflori) to calm the mental disorder caused by fire reversal in the Taiyang channel. This formula uses Chai Hu combined with Long Gu, Mu Li, and Qian Dan to calm the irritability and palpitations caused by erroneous purgation in the Shaoyang channel. This is also an established and unchangeable method.
