Red Bean Sprouts 3 qian, Coix Seed 3 qian, Stephania 2 qian, Licorice 1 qian

Pus is essentially blood turned into water. Therefore, the method for draining pus is always to break blood and drain water. Red bean sprouts enter the blood stream to facilitate drainage and aid decomposition; Coix Seed and Stephania help expel pus through water; licorice balances multiple herbs, ensuring each works effectively. This is a major approach to treating abscesses, though the formula is not exhaustive, so it can be inferred from this.

[Note] This formula is derived from "Jingui Yaolue's Coix Seed and Aconite with Fermented Soybean Paste Soup." It follows the principle that "pus is blood turned into water," using methods to break blood and drain water to treat abscesses, especially suitable for those with established pus.
