Explanation

This prescription has already been explained in the chapter on Headaches (Chapter 1).

The main difference between this prescription and the previous one is that the latter nourishes
the Yin more and is therefore suitable when there is a pronounced deficiency of Liver and
Kidney Yin. Note that Dai Zhe Shi is not suitable for long-term use and is contra-indicated in
pregnancy. It could be eliminated from this prescription or replaced with Zhen Zhu Margarita
which also sinks Liver-Yang.
