Administrations
The ingredients are ground into fine powder. An adequate amount of Shan Yao (Rhizoma Dioscoreae) is broken into small pieces and decocted in liquor into a paste. The powder and paste are mixed together into pills. 6 g of the pills is taken each time, twice daily. Or, the ingredients are reduced according to the original proportions and decocted in water for the decoction to be taken orally.
This prescription is weak in potency. Given the syndromes to be treated are more severe, drugs with the action of warming, tonifying and astringing should be added adequately in order that its curative effects can be enhanced.
