五苓散 for 眩晕

By Karina • Jun 22nd, 2008 • Category: formula, jinkuiyaolue

From 《金匮要略》：“假令瘦人，脐下有悸，吐涎沫而癫（we can treat this as [真页](pronounced chen) which means 顶）眩，此水也，五苓散主之。”

Note that in WLS is LGZGT which is indicated for 目眩, but note that WLS does not have 甘草, and we now know that 甘草 can facilitate water and sodium retention.
