bubble_chart Formula Principles

Carpesium Fruit can kill various parasites and is an essential medicine for expelling worms; the bark of Melia azedarach kills roundworms and pinworms; Areca Seed kills tapeworms and fasciolopsis; the remaining alum and lead-powder also have the effect of killing worms; when these medicines are used together, the efficacy of killing worms is enhanced. However, the lead-powder in the formula is highly toxic and should not be used excessively or for a long time. Note: The Parasite-Exterminating Pill recorded in Yifang Jijie includes large-fruited elm and Quisqualis Fruit in addition to the ingredients in this formula.
