<
>
It was called Golden due to its virtues, rather than their appearance or any single ingredient.

They are very good for diseases of the Head and Brain caused by excess Heat/Bile and Phlegm/Damp. They are also very useful in various chronic diseases from the same humors.

These are basically a better corrected version of
Pills of Cochia, and are used similarly to Pil. sine Quibus and Pil. Aloephangine.
