Was this used as a single herb? Do you remember the dosage? How fast

acting was the treatment? turns out we now have only a few days left

to act due to suddenly scheduled surgery?

I'd try Bidens pilosa (Xian feng cao / Spanish needle) if it grows in your area.

You can use it as a single ingredient (up to 1 liang), or mix it with Zhi zi. If

you gather it yourself, pull it when flowering but before it's gone to seed.

Stick the roots briefly in boiling water

and hang it upside down. Within a few hours you can use it.
