Fright heat [effusion]

惊热 〔驚熱〕 jīng rè

A disease pattern in children characterized by heat effusion and susceptibility to fright. Fright heat [effusion] is a generalized, but not high fever associated with a green-blue complexion, sweating, vexation and agitation, and susceptibility to fright in the night. It arises by heat engendering fright or fright engendering heat, but in either case is associated with internal heat in the heart and liver channels.

Medicinal therapy: Clear heat and drain fire with Red-Abducting Powder (导赤散 dǎo chì sǎn) plus chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemi Flos, 菊花 jú huā), uncaria (Uncariae Ramulus cum Uncis, 钩藤 gōu téng), and coptis (Coptidis Rhizoma, 黄连 huáng lián).
