How it's used
Often used metaphorically for non-medical solutions to difficult problems, such as fixing a bad habit or improving a situation. While it literally refers to a prescription, it carries a sense of wisdom or a tried-and-tested secret method. It frequently appears in contexts involving traditional Chinese medicine or folk remedies passed down through generations.

Do not confuse this with 藥方, which is a neutral term for any medical prescription. 良方 specifically implies that the method is proven to be effective or high-quality.
