Downbears yin fire and stops night sweating. Phellodendron and anemarrhena 1 don 5 pun each (stir-fried); licorice (mix-fried) 5 pun. Cut up, make one packet, decoct in water and take. — Uihak Immun 入門 (Donguibogam · Jinaek)
Clinical commentary 臨床
The cooling pair alone — the Kidney chapter's phellodendron and anemarrhena — for 5.6.2's rule that night sweats are yin vacuity with fire. Three medicinals, and the smallest formula in the section. — Eui Young (Justin) Chung, L.Ac., Dipl. O.M.
