Use three cups of water, decoct until one cup remains, take warm. It should induce slight sweating; cover the back lightly, sit leaning on a table, and recovery occurs when sweat appears. If no sweat, administer again without contraindications, avoiding exposure to wind. Also treats conditions where one can only lie prone, cannot sleep, has cough and rebellious qi, and edema of the face and eyes.
Sanhua Tang: Treats heat-stroke affecting the zang organs, characterized by constipation.

This formula resolves both exterior and interior. It is more appropriate than Sanhua Tang and is also a treatment method for excess fire in similar stroke cases. The use of exterior-releasing herbs follows the principle of "venting fire stagnation"; the use of purgative herbs follows the principle of "removing firewood from under the cauldron."

Long-term use leads to self-healing.
Zishou Jieyu Tang (created by Yu Jiayan): Treats stroke with spleen flaccidity, stiff tongue unable to speak, and hemiplegia. It shares the same intent as Dihuang Yinzi. However, Dihuang Yinzi focuses on the kidney, while this formula focuses on the spleen.
