八正散

From the Formulary of the Pharmacy Service for Benefiting the People in the Taiping Era, this is the representative formula for damp-heat strangury. Hua Shi leads as sovereign, joined by Mu Tong, Che Qian Zi, Qu Mai, and Bian Xu for urination-promoting strangury-freeing action, Zhi Zi and Da Huang to clear heat and drain fire, and Deng Xin Cao with Gan Cao to harmonize — collectively clearing heat, draining fire, and freeing strangury.
