This formula is called Qinggu San and is specifically used to treat bone-steaming dampness and yin-deficiency internal heat, conditions that typically occur in the later stages of fever, when excessive heat damages yin. Modern medicine believes this condition is due to autonomic nervous system dysfunction after fever, and it is common among menopausal women and those with arteriosclerosis.
