Mr. Du presented with an abdominal mass, slight pain upon pressure, located alternatively on the left or right. Accompanied by internal heat and mental fatigue, the pulse is deep and wiry (Chen Xian), and the tongue coating is thin and greasy. The disease resides in the Zang organs; masses that adhere and do not move are classified as Ju (accumulation). The Jia (mass) disease resides in the Fu organs; masses that move and do not adhere. With insufficient Middle Jiao Yang and a constitutionally damaged Spleen and Stomach, blood fails to nourish the Liver, leading to Qi stagnation and coagulation in the Liver. Integrating pulse and symptoms, this is not a superficial disease. If only attacking and breaking methods are used, fearing the insufficiency of Middle Yang and the pre-existing damage to the Spleen and Stomach may lead to distension and fullness. After repeated consideration, it is indeed tricky. Tentatively prescribing Xiang Sha Liu Jun Zi Tang (Aromatic Sandalwood Six Gentlemen Decoction) with modifications, to support and nourish the Spleen and Stomach, hoping for the resolution of the mass.
Stir-fried Lu Dang Shen (Codonopsis Radix) (3 qian), Processed Xiang Fu (Cyperi Rhizoma) (1.5 qian), Da Zao (Jujubae Fructus) (5 pieces), Yun Fu Ling (Poria) (3 qian), Chun Sha Ke (Amomi Fructus Rotundus Pericarpium) (0.5 qian), Zhi Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Preparata) (0.8 qian), Stir-fried Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) (2 qian), Chen Guang Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) (1 qian).
Follow-up: After taking the previous prescription for twenty doses, mental fatigue and internal heat have decreased. The Jia mass no longer hurts and has slightly reduced; appetite is gradually improving. There are signs of the recovery of Middle Yang, and the Spleen and Stomach have regained their mechanism of transformation and production. Re-prescribing the previous formula with progressive adjustments.
Stir-fried Lu Dang Shen (Codonopsis Radix) (3 qian), Zhi Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Preparata) (0.8 qian), Chen Guang Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) (1 qian), Yun Fu Ling (Poria) (3 qian), Processed Xiang Fu (Cyperi Rhizoma) (1.5 qian), Da Fu Pi (Arecae Pericarpium) (3 qian), Stir-fried Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) (2 qian), Chun Sha Ke (Amomi Fructus Rotundus Pericarpium) (0.5 qian), Stir-fried Gu Ya (Setariae Fructus Germinatus) (3 qian), Da Hong Zao (Jujubae Fructus) (5 pieces), Gui Yuan Rou (Longan Arillus) (5 grains).
Ms. Sun, the accumulation in the Liver is named Fei Qi (Liver Accumulation). Liver Qi rebels horizontally, rising without descending, causing pain in the hypochondrium, a palpable mass upon pressure, nausea, dizziness inside the head, and poor appetite. Prone to worry and depression, the syndrome belongs to the Seven Emotions, which is not easy to treat. If one can cultivate joy and regulate emotions, assisted by herbal medicine, the mass might dissipate invisibly.

Second visit: Nausea has slightly stopped, and the Qi mass in the hypochondrium feels slightly reduced. Dizziness inside the head and poor appetite persist. Liver Qi rebels horizontally; ascending causes vomiting and nausea, while descending stagnation causes pain from the痞 (fullness) mass. Again, employing soothing the Liver, regulating Qi, harmonizing the Stomach, and unblocking the Middle Jiao.

Ms. Jiang, menstruation ceased for four months, suddenly followed by Beng Lou (metrorrhagia and metrostaxis), resembling a miscarriage, with abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, emaciation, poor appetite, a wiry, fine, and rapid pulse, and a thin, greasy, gray tongue coating. Previous physicians suspected pregnancy and repeatedly administered fetal-calming agents. Integrating pulse and symptoms, it is deficiency of both Liver and Spleen, with cold and blood stasis stagnating. The Liver stores blood, and the Spleen controls blood. When storage and control fail, Qi and Blood cannot follow the meridians. Occasionally affected by cold qi, it stagnates in the abdomen, resembling pregnancy, which is what the classics call Jia disease. The condition is severe and difficult to treat. Urgently tonifying Qi and Yin, and warming to unblock cold and stasis.

After taking this medicine for three doses, Beng Lou and abdominal pain stopped. The previous formula was continued, removing Dan Wu Zhu Yu, Tao Ren, Hong Hua, and Ze Lan, adding Gou Qi Zi (Lycii Fructus), Du Zhong (Eucommiae Cortex), and Chuan Duan (Dipsaci Radix). Taking a total of ten doses resulted in a cure.
Ms. Wang, a mass in the epigastrium, vomiting when painful, uncomfortable belching, and poor appetite. Constitutionally deficient in both Qi and Yin, with Liver Wood overacting. Liver Qi carries Phlegm and Stasis to obstruct the epigastrium, known in classics as Fu Liang (Hidden Beam), which is this presentation. Treatment should open Clear Yang and transform Turbid Yin, soothe Liver Qi and resolve Phlegm and Stasis.
