Among the Chinese guidelines, we also found that most of the herbal formulae were recommended once in the respective guidelines. However, 17 herbal formulae were recommended several times by different guidelines, with a slight difference in the herbal compositions. The herbal formulae with the highest frequency of recommendation were the herbal formula of Shen Fu Tang with Su He Xiang Pill or Angong Niuhuang Pill in the severe stage and the combined formula of Xiang Sha Liu Junzi Tang and Li Zhong Pill in the recovery stage. In particular, Angong Niuhuang Pill, Zhi Bao Dan, Zi Xue San, and Su He Xiang Pill were the only prescriptions that were not required in the form of decoction and were only prescribed in the severe stage.
