Source-derived summary

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". 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".

The formula (composed of processed Zingiber officinale, Glycyrrhiza uralensis, and Aconitum carmichaelii) has a potential benefit in treating septic shock.

Editorial summary

The public source identifies “Sini San Wan” as pill used in Traditional Chinese medicine. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Sini, pill and used.

Editorial reviewA practical orientation to terminology and classification, particularly when read beside dated observations, specimens or technical literature. The current 68-word lead offers orientation but no explicit four-digit date, so chronology should not be assumed. The selected authority fields contribute no independent date. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Sini, pill and used providing the first useful test.
