[Zhengyuan San Formula]
To treat early-stage Shanghan (Cold Damage) where the patient feels cold invading the four limbs. There is pain in the head, eyes, and all joints. Immediately decoct and take this medicine. After walking for the distance of five li, take it again. Or take it three times consecutively; upon sweating, the illness will immediately resolve. If suffering from Yindu Shanghan (Yin Toxin Cold Damage), add Ban Qian (half a qian) of Tuiyin San to decoct together. Or if food injury caused by cold leads to dizziness, abdominal distension, and various heart and abdominal diseases, taking this medicine will be effective without exception.
Herbs: Ephedrae Herba (Mahuang, 麻黄), Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium (Chenpi, 陈皮), Rhei Radix et Rhizoma (Dahuang, 大黄), Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao, 甘草), Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens (Ganjiang, 干姜), Cinnamomi Cortex (Rougui, 肉桂), Paeoniae Radix Alba (Baishao, 白芍药), Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata (Fuzi, 附子), Pinelliae Rhizoma Preparatum (Banxia, 半夏), Evodiae Fructus (Wuzhuyu, 吴茱萸) (all in equal parts, all processed).
For the above formula, increase the dosage of Mahuang by half, and decrease the dosage of Wuzhuyu by half. Grind them together into fine powder. Take one Da Qian per dose. Use one Liang of water, five slices of fresh ginger, and one jujube. Decoct until seven-tenths remain. Drink hot in small sips to induce sweating, and cover with a blanket.
If sweating occurs, the disease resolves. For Yindu syndrome, do not use Mahuang to induce sweating.
Hu notes: The above discussion mentions that early Shanghan feels like cold invasion, causing pain in the four limbs, head, eyes, and all joints. This resembles exterior syndromes of the Taiyang (Taiyang Jing, Taiyang meridian) and Yangming (Yangming Jing, Yangming meridian) channels. It also treats dizziness, qi fullness, and various heart/abdominal ailments caused by cold damaging food, which indicates Shanghan complicated with food stagnation. Yet the medication combines warming the interior and releasing the exterior. If taken even slightly incorrectly, would it not kill the patient? Even if both interior and exterior are Yin-cold, constituting a cold-excess syndrome, why not use Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex (Houpo, 厚朴) and Immature Bitter Orange (Zhishi, 枳实), but instead administer Rheum? How contrary to logic! Such formulas should not be included. For now, they are retained pending correction by knowledgeable practitioners.
[Tuiyin San Formula]
To treat Yindu Shanghan, characterized by cold reversal of the hands and feet, deep and fine pulse, headache, and heavy sensation in the waist. For minor cold injuries, take one Zi per dose, decoct together with Zhengyuan San, adding a pinch of salt. For coughing and counterflow qi due to Yindu syndrome, decoct one dose, drink slowly while hot, and it will stop.
Herbs: Aconiti Kusnezoffii Radix (Chuanwutou, 川乌头), Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens (Ganjiang, 干姜) (equal parts).
Grind the herbs into coarse powder, stir-fry until the color changes, let cool, then grind into fine powder. Take one Qian per dose. Use one Liang of water and a pinch of salt. Decoct until half a Liang remains, strain, and take warm.
Hu notes: Zhang Zhongjing stated that Yindu does not involve headache. Here, headache is specifically mentioned. Perhaps there is internal consumption of cold/raw food combined with external wind-cold invasion, leading to Yangming headache; Bai Zhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix, 白芷) should be added. If it is Jueyin headache, Wu Zhu Yu (Evodiae Fructus, 吴茱萸) should be added. Heavy waist indicates wind-cold damaging the Kidney, with lack of fire in the Kidney (Kidney deficiency); Rou Gui (Cinnamon Twig/Cortex, 肉桂) and Fu Zi (Prepared Aconite Root, 附子) should be added. The above discussion states to decoct together with Zhengyuan San; the medication is mixed and lacks specific targeted ingredients, which is highly illogical. Regarding the addition of a pinch of salt, it is likely because Chuan Wu Tou (Kusnezoff Monkshood Root, 川乌头) and other hot medicines may cause excessive upward flaming (Qian Shang); salt is used to guide the action downward (Run Xia).
