TCM Formulation Strategy:

Ge gen, the chief herb, releases the muscle layer by expelling the wind-cold. Ma huang and gui zhi, the deputies, help the chief herb release the exterior and relieve the muscle layer. Shao yao, sheng jiang, and da zao are the assistants. Shao yao preserves the yin by preventing ma huang and gui zhi from causing excessive sweating. Sheng Jiang and da zao regulate the protective and nutritive qi and harmonize the stomach qi. Zhi gan cao, the envoy, harmonizes the actions of the other herbs. Based on the combination of these herbs, the main function is to release externally-contracted wind-cold at the greater yang stage.

Dosage and Administration:

The usual adult dose is 7.5g/day orally in 3 divided doses before or between meals. The dosage may be adjusted according to the patient's age, body weight, and symptoms.
