Wen Dan Tang and Melancholia
Melancholia is a syndrome caused by emotional stress and
stagnation of qi, involving the liver, affecting the heart and spleen, and
leading to disharmony of qi of the zang-fu organs. Because of the complicated
condition, it is not easy to determine the therapeutic principles. In this
series of 40 cases, the modified Wen Dan Tang (Decoction for Clearing Away
Gallbladder-Heat) was used for the treatment. Of them, 19 cases were cured, 16
improved, and 5 failed, with total effective rate of 87.5%
