During the recovery and sequelae periods, acupoint injection is the main method, combined with intramuscular injection. Acupoint injection was performed according to conventional methods, with 1 to 2 ml injected into each point, once every other day for 20 consecutive days. The treatment was then continued after a half-month break. A total of 246 cases of polio in various stages were treated, including 34 patients in the acute stage, 8 cured, 16 basically cured, 7 significantly effective, 2 effective, and 1 ineffective; 43 patients in the recovery stage, 21 cured, 15 effective, 5 improved, and 2 ineffective; a total of 169 patients in the sequelae stage, 9 cured and basically cured, 129 significantly effective and effective, and 31 ineffective. It has been observed that this product has significant therapeutic effects on cases in the acute phase and those just entering the recovery phase, and recovery is faster. It also has a certain effect on the sequelae period. After taking the medicine, the affected limbs generally feel warm and strong. In effective cases, the muscles gradually recover and the affected limbs become thicker. Among them, the effect is better for patients with lower limb paralysis, and worse for patients with upper limb paralysis and older patients. Except for dry mouth, no other side effects were observed after taking the medicine.

②Treatment of neurasthenia

A total of 104 cases were observed, 22 were cured, 21 showed marked improvement, 46 showed improvement, and 15 were ineffective. The longer the treatment course, the better the effect; the earlier the symptoms begin to improve after treatment, the better the effect. However, if the condition does not improve after 15 treatments, the effect will not be significant and will not be consolidated even if the treatment is continued. In a few cases, mild reactions or temporary worsening of symptoms may occur at the beginning of treatment, but they will disappear quickly with continued treatment. ㈡ Take 5 ml of 20% epimedium tincture 3 times a day before meals for 2 to 3 months. After treating 50 cases, about 80% of the patients had their symptoms eliminated or alleviated.
