Treats *Jie Xiong* (chest binding) caused by *Shang Han* (cold damage), where the condition is critical, with swelling and distension rising in the epigastrium, making it impossible for the hand to approach.
Fuling (Poria), Renshen (Ginseng), Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome), Ganjiang (Dried Ginger, prepared), Gancao (Licorice Root, honey-fried, each 2 liang), Zhishi (Immature Bitter Orange, 16 slices, bran-fried).
Crush and sieve the above herbs into fine powder. Form pills using refined honey, sized like a chicken egg yolk. Take one pill per dose, dissolve in hot water and ingest. After taking two or three doses continuously, the chest will feel clear and open. If there is thirst, add Gualougen (Trichosanthes Root, 2 liang); if there is diarrhea, add Muli (Oyster Shell, 2 liang).
Tanbo Yuanyin notes: The above formula is Zhang Zhongjing's Lizhong Wan (Regulate the Middle Pill), with added Zhishi and Fuling. For *Pi Man* (stuffiness and fullness) due to *Taiyin* deficiency-cold, this decoction is highly suitable. However, if it is *Shang Han Jie Xiong* (chest binding from cold damage) with epigastric swelling and tenderness preventing touch, it likely belongs to a cold-excess pattern, in which case Renshen and Baizhu are not appropriate. It also states that those with thirst add Gualougen; perhaps after taking the medicine, yang qi recovers causing dry mouth and thirst, so it can be temporarily added. As for diarrhea, it indicates extreme cold in the intestines and stomach; conversely using the salty-cold nature of Muli to astringe would be contrary to medical principles.
Treats cold injury to the *Yin* meridians, disharmony of the spleen and stomach, contraction of cold pathogens, and injuries caused by food stagnation.
Guangui (Cinnamon Twig, peeled), Renshen (Ginseng), Chuanxiong (Szechwan Lovage Rhizome, each 2 liang), Houpo (Magnolia Bark, peeled, cleaned and mixed with ginger juice), Baifuling (Poria), Banxia (Pinellia Tuber, washed five to seven times in boiling water), Shaoyao (Peony Root, washed), Danggui (Angelica Sinensis Root, washed), Mahuang (Ephedra Stem, nodes removed), Ganjiang (Dried Ginger, each 3 liang), Gancao (Licorice Root, 2.5 liang), Zhiqiao (Bitter Orange, 5 liang, bran-fried until yellow), Jiegeng (Platycodon Root, 12 liang, select firm white ones, wash and bake dry), Chenpi (Aged Tangerine Peel, 8 liang, wash without removing the pith), Cangzhu (Atractylodes Lancea Rhizome, 24 liang, soak in new rice washing water and peel), Baizhi (Angelica Dahurica Root, 4 liang, wash and bake dry).
For the above ingredients, except for Zhiqiao, Guangui, and Chenpi, place the rest together and crush into coarse powder. Divide into six portions. In a large wok, stir-fry over alternating mild and strong heat until yellow and cooked, but not burnt. Spread on paper on a board, wait for cooling, then add the powders of Zhiqiao, Guangui, and Chenpi, mix evenly. Store in a porcelain jar. Take 2 qian per dose, with one cup of water and three slices of fresh ginger, decoct until reduced to 0.7 cups, remove dregs, and take warm. For *Shang Han* entering the interior, add one stalk of Congbai (Scallion White) and seven grains of Douchi (Fermented Soybeans), decoct together and take continuously to induce sweating. Or for spleen-stomach disharmony, internal injury from cold food causing whole-body pain, dizziness, weakness, chest discomfort, anorexia, qi-pulse disharmony, cold sensation in limbs, irritability and fatigue at night, add a small amount of salt and decoct together. Or for *Yin* meridian *Shang Han*, with reversed cold in hands and feet, nocturnal fright, incessant spontaneous sweating, fine and rapid pulse, cyanotic face, vomiting and regurgitation, it is more suitable to add Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root) and decoct together. The degree of addition or subtraction depends on temporary observation of deficiency/excess and severity.
Tanbo Yuanyin notes: The above formula is a preparation that moves qi and blood in the *Yangming*, *Taiyang*, and all three *Yin* meridians, excluding the *Shaoyang*. This is because cold invading the three *Yin* meridians may enter from the *Taiyang* meridian or be received from the *Yangming* fu organs. Therefore, warming the middle and releasing the exterior are applied simultaneously. It relies entirely on the physician's careful examination during clinical practice to adjust and use it.
Tanbo Yuanyin further notes: The latter part of the above formula states that adding Congbai and Douchi for *Shang Han* releases sweat from the *Yangming* meridian, meaning releasing the exterior does not avoid heat. It also states that for *Yin* meridian *Shang Han* with incessant spontaneous sweating, Fuzi should be added to decoct; thus, herbs for releasing the exterior in *Yang* meridians such as Mahuang and Baizhi should be reduced. If meridians are not distinguished and everything is mixed indiscriminately, it will not only be ineffective but harmful. This formula is comparable to Yi Lao's (Wang Haogu's) Jiwei Qianghuo Tang (Nine-Ingredient Notopterygium Decoction) for treating *Shang Han*; unless adjusted according to circumstances, it should not be used arbitrarily.
