When the lung has fumigated and steamed by wind-heat and accumulated in skin, acne will then appear on the face. In this prescription, drugs for dispelling wind and dispersing lung are chosen as the ”monarch”, drugs for clearing away heat and eliminating pox are chosen as the “minister”. Such composition may act altogether to clear away pulmonary heat and eliminate pox, restoring the bright and clean face.
[Curative effect] The curative effect may generally be felt 1-3 days, and symptoms may disappear about 15 days after medication. Recovery can be achieved after consolidation.

Such composition may invigorate heart and spleen, assist the source of generation and transformation, promote the sthenia of Qi and blood to calm heart-spirit, thus relieving the symptom of dreaminess.

                  Ling Jian Wang Dan No. 2 (Amnesia-relieving pellet No. 2)
[Main components]
Root of prepared rehmannia (rhizome Rehmannia glutinosa), root of dwarf lilyturf (radix Liriope spicata),root of tatarinowii sweetflag (rhizome Acorus gramineus), and others (processed from pure traditional Chinese medicine, none of western medicine is included).
[Efficacy] Nourish liver and kidney, replenish marrow and invigorate brain.
[Indications] Amnesia, poor memory, and slow in reacting due to insufficiency of liver and kidney.
[Explanation of the prescription] It was pointed out in Bencao Beiyao that: “All memories are in the brain.” Huangdineijing Suwen Hailun pointed out that: “Brain is the sea of marrow.” Kidney dominates bones and the production of marrow. Loss of kidney essence will cause the decline of marrow sea and insufficient nourishing of brain, resulting in the decline of memory. In this prescription, drugs for nourishing kidney and replenishing essence are chosen as the “monarch”; drugs for nourishing liver to promote blood are chosen as the “minister”. Plentifulness of kidney water, blood and essence, and sufficiency of marrow sea will certainly relieve amnesia.
[Precaution] (1) Tea drinking is forbidden 15 min. before and 30 min. after medication. (2) Patients with other diseases including common cold, fever, cough, diarrhea due to acute gastroenteritis, as well as with excessive internal heat symptoms such as toothache and sore-throat are not suitable to take this preparation simultaneously.
