This formula was very highly regarded for Vertigo.

This contains Cinnabar (Mercuric sulphide) which was highly regarded in all Traditional medicine systems for diseases of the Head and Brain, but has of course fallen out of favor in modern times due to the potential for Mercury toxicity. Nevertheless, in extreme cases which have not been helped with other formulas, this medicine may still be relevant.
