In case of prevailing dampness with heaviness of the body and greasy fur, replace No. 4 with Fangji (Radix Stephaniae Tetrandrae) and add Cangzhu ( Rhizoma Atractylodis ) to strengthen the action of eliminating dampness.

    collaterals. It should be treated by eliminating wind and dampness, removing obstruction and relieving pain.

No. 3 and No. 4 are minister drugs with the action of eliminating wind and dampness so as to relieve headache. No. 6 has the function of activating blood circulation, removing obstruction from meridians, dispelling wind and relieving pain, while No. 7 possesses the function of dispersing wind and dampness to relieve headache, both playing the role of adjuvant drugs. No. 5 serves as guiding drug, which can not only supplement qi and regulate the middleenergizer so as to prevent other drugs from consuming qi, but also mediate drug properties.
     
    Both this recipe and Jiuwei Qianghuo Tang comprise Qianghuo (Rhizoma seu Radix Notopterygii ), Fangfeng (Radix Ledebouriellae ), Chuanxiong ( Rhizoma Ligustici
    Chuanxiong) and Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae) with the effect of eliminating wind and dampness  and relieving headache and general pain. But the latter includes also

It is fit for cases with chief manifestations as aversion to cold
    and fever concomitant with bitter mouth and slight thirst.The former, however, consists also of Duhuo (Radix Angelicae Pubescentis ), Manjingzi ( Fructus Viticis )
    and Gaoben (Rhizoma et Ligustici), which are mainly for eliminating wind and dampness from the body with a milder action of relieving exterior syndrome. Therefore it
    is suitable for cases chiefly manifested as heaviness of the head and body with slight aversion to cold and fever.
     
    Cautions: This recipe is contraindicated for headache caused by hyperactivity of liver-yang or deficiency of both qi and blood.
