This page is about Si Ni Tang (and NOT Si Ni San)
Si Ni Tang (Chinese: 四逆汤丸) is a brown pill used in Traditional Chinese medicine to "dispel cold and cause restoration upon collapse".[1] It tastes sweet and pungent. It is used upon "collapse with cold sweat, cold limbs, diarrhea with fluid stool containing undigested food, and scarcely perceptible pulse".[2] The formula (composed of processed Zingiber officinale, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, and Aconitum carmichaelii) has a potential benefit in treating septic shock.[3]
