Mr. Su (40 years old) suffers from cough and hoarseness. Prevention of Lung Withering (Fei Wei, a chronic wasting disease of the lung characterized by cough and expectoration of profuse sticky sputum or blood-tinged saliva) is advised.
Prescription: Chuan Shihu (Dendrobii Officinalis Caulis, 3 qian), Chao Biandou (Faba Seed, stir-fried, 5 qian), Fushen (Poria with Hostwood, 2 qian), Beishashen (Glehniae Radix, 1.5 qian), Maidong (Ophiopogonis Tuber, 3 qian), Nanzao (Jujube Fruit, 3 qian), Yuzhu (Polygonati Odorati Rhizoma, 2 qian).
Mr. Wei suffers from cough due to Winter-Warmth pathogen. He frequently expectorates saliva and phlegm, cannot drink much water, and has very poor appetite. This condition belongs to Lung Withering (Fei Wei). We tentatively employ the method of Sweet and Mild (Gan Huan) treatment, addressing the pattern where pathogenic factors are few and deficiency is predominant.
Prescription: Huangqi (Astragali Radix, honey-fried, 3 qian), Baiji (Bletillae Rhizoma, 2 qian), Bai Baihe (Lilii Bulbus, 3 qian), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, 1.5 qian), Nanzao (Jujube Fruit, 3 qian), Maidong (Ophiopogonis Tuber, 2 qian), Sheng Yiren (Coicis Semen, raw, 3 qian), Zhigancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, honey-fried, 0.4 qian).
Mr. Dai suffers from stagnation in the collaterals without firmness. The Liver meridian distributes along the hypochondrium; there is choking cough, counterflow qi, and stagnant blood stasis. The left pulse has already calmed down, but the right pulse is not yet harmonious. This indicates the meaning of collateral deficiency leading to stagnation. We propose nourishing Yin and harmonizing Yang, assisted by promoting the circulation of the collaterals.
Prescription: Yuan Shudi (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata, original processed, 4 qian), Xi Dangshen (Codonopsis Radix, western variety, 2 qian), Jianlian (Nelumbinis Semen, heart removed, 2 qian), Zhen Chuanbei (Fritillariae Thunbergii Bulbus, genuine Sichuan type, 2 qian), Chen Ejiao (Asini Corii Colla, aged, stir-fried with clam powder, 2 qian), Miren (Coicis Semen, 2 qian), Xuanfuhua (Inulae Flos, 1 qian), Yun Fushen (Poria with Hostwood, cloud variety, 2 qian).
Subsequent prescription: Renshen (Ginseng Radix, decocted separately and taken with the main decoction, 0.5 qian), Chen Ejiao (Asini Corii Colla, aged, melted separately and taken with the main decoction, 2 qian), Zaoren (Ziziphi Spinosae Semen, stir-fried until scorched and ground, 3 qian), Yuan Shudi (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata, original processed, 4 qian), Da Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, large white peony root, 1.5 qian), Fushen (Poria with Hostwood, 2 qian), Jian Maidong (Ophiopogonis Tuber, selected, 1.5 qian).
Mr. Jiang (23 years old) experiences spermatorrhea without dreams. He is awake more than he sleeps. This is because the Shaoyin (Kidney/Heart) fails to govern storage and gathering.
Prescription: Shudi (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata, 4 qian), Yuanzhi (Polygalae Radix, 0.5 qian), Shanyao (Dioscoreae Rhizoma, 2 qian), Sangpiaoxiao (Mantis Oötheca, 2 qian), Hulian (Nelumbinis Semen, lake lotus seed, 3 qian), Fuling (Poria, 3 qian), Baiziren (Biota Semen, 3 qian), Qianshi (Euryales Semen, 2 qian).
Mr. Xu (41 years old) suffers from chaotic and numerous dreams. Spermatorrhea and seminal emission occur frequently. As a person engaged in business and labor, his spirit is disturbed and heart fire is moved, causing Ministerial Fire (Xiang Huo) to follow suit. We propose using shell-type substances to submerge and anchor [the floating yang], and rich/heavy flavors to fill and tonify [the essence].
Prescription: Shudi (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata, 4 qian), Guiban (Testudinis Carapax et Plastrum, abdominal plate, 5 qian), Yuanzhi (Polygalae Radix, 0.5 qian), Yurou (Corni Fructus, 2 qian), Xianjiao (Gelatinous substance, thread-like, 2 qian), Wuweizi (Schisandrae Fructus, 1.5 qian), Dancai (Mytilus edulis, 2 qian), Hulian (Nelumbinis Semen, lake lotus seed, 3 qian), Qianshi (Euryales Semen, 2 qian).
Mr. Zhang (18 years old) has a sallow complexion. He experiences spermatorrhea without dreams. The left pulse is deficient and rapid. This condition belongs to Damp-Heat pouring downward. The treatment differs from that of astringent methods.
Prescription: Chuan Bixie (Smilacis Glabrae Rhizoma, 3 qian), Hulian (Nelumbinis Semen, lake lotus seed, 3 qian), Fuling (Poria, 3 qian), Chao Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex, stir-fried, 1 qian), Shanyao (Dioscoreae Rhizoma, 2 qian), Zexie (Alismatis Rhizoma, 1 qian), Yuanzhi (Polygalae Radix, 1 qian).
