Gegen 10 g, Guizhi 10 g, Baishao 10 g, Gancao 6 g, Shengjiang 4 g, Dazao 4 pieces—this decoction can treat arteriosclerotic occlusive vasculitis. A case of this disease treated with this formula was reported in the Japanese journal "Kampo Chiryo" (June 1986), showing significant therapeutic efficacy; additionally, some have reported that this formula can also treat trigeminal neuralgia. According to "Shanghan Lun," "For Taiyang disease, when the neck and back are stiff and almost immobile," this formula can be used, indicating that its function may lie in calming nerve endings and improving vascular tone at the peripheral level.
