② According to the book of Materia Medica, "Lou Quanshan says that those with throat obstruction and aversion to cold are all characterized by cold breaking heat. Cold is closed to the outside and heat is depressed to the inside. Do not use bile alum, acid and cold to touch the throat. On the contrary, it will make the Yang stagnant and not stretch out, which will cause anti drama. If so, this flavor is suitable for throat closure and wind entanglement. It is used to treat the arthralgia of Yin but not Yang. It is wind Yin and belongs to the arthralgia of throat without aversion to cold. It is not appropriate to treat Yang but not Yin. It is due to the deficiency of wind. It belongs to the throat arthralgia of aversion to cold. It can disperse wind and wood fire, so it can treat wind phlegm and throat obstruction and rat leakage. For example, the throat arthralgia caused by aversion to cold is due to stagnant heat, which is not a sign of fire. It's rash for those who take the medicine. "
