Ingredients
- Yīn chén (茵陈 Artemisiae Scopariae Herba, virgate wormwood) 30–60g

Indications: Virgate wormwood is cool and slightly bitter, and has a distinctive smell. It enters the liver, spleen, and bladder channels. It clears heat and disinhibits dampness. It is especially effective for damp-heat jaundice.
Method: Wash the virgate wormwood, decoct, and strain. Cook the rice in the decoction and add the sugar just before the end.
