Jiajian Xiaoyu Tang (Modified Minor Continuation Decoction)
Treats body heat, pain in limbs and joints, headache, constipation, or vomiting and regurgitation. The distinctive feature is sudden weakness of the legs upon rising abruptly, named Hong Kong Foot (Gout/Jia). (Formula see Wind Syndrome Deficiency Category, other formulas see Hong Kong Foot Category.)
Wuji San (Five Accumulations Powder)
Nature is warm, Baidu San (Defeat Toxin Powder) nature is cool. For ordinary people encountering minor colds, mix them half and half and decoct to take, named Jiaojia San (Cross-Addition Powder), which is also often effective. Minor colds are contracted suddenly due to wind, rain, and cold invasion. When righteous qi is not exhausted and pathogenic qi is not deep, use this formula first to assist righteous qi to become stronger, then pathogenic qi will naturally be dispersed. If unable to distinguish medicines in haste, simply use a few stalks of scallion white with roots, a pinch of fermented soybean (Douchi), and several slices of fresh ginger, decoct in water and drink hot. Drinking two or three cups continuously can also disperse pathogens. If pathogenic qi has entered the meridians, or during epidemic diseases, one must follow meridian methods, using exterior-releasing sweating or interior-purging methods without error. Beware. (These two formulas see earlier.)
Shuangjie San (Double Resolution Powder)
Treats damage from wind-cold, summerheat-dampness, hunger/fullness, labor, and epidemics, as well as various internal and external pathogens. Regardless of spontaneous sweating, post-sweating, or miscellaneous diseases, if one feels unwell, it can be resolved through dual action to achieve recovery. For children with eruptive diseases, it helps them erupt quickly by promoting qi circulation and diffusion to achieve recovery.

Five out of ten may survive, for Chengqi Tang is a medicine that benefits Yangming. If the disease reaches Jueyin, the condition is severe. Because Yangming nourishes the sinews (Zongjin), and is attacked by heat-toxin, using Chengqi Tang to drain what nourishes it is utilizing Yang to save Yin. This is similar to the strategy of "borrowing the road of Yu to attack Guo" or "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao".
Taiyang syndrome lasting eight or nine days, resembling malaria, with fever and aversion to cold, more heat than cold, no vomiting, normal urination and defecation, occurring once or twice a day, with a slightly slow pulse, indicates impending recovery.
