治眩暈不可當, 此火炎上也. 大黃酒浸炒三次爲細末, 茶淸調下一錢至二錢. 《丹心》

Clinical commentary 臨床

One medicinal, wine-fried three times so it reaches the head before it reaches the bowel. 1.10's heat dizziness is what it answers, and Danxi's Hyeonghwang-tang beside it does the same thing with two more. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
