上五味。以水五升。煮取三升。去滓。温服七合。日三服。
发汗若下之。病仍不解。烦躁者。茯苓四逆汤主之。按未经汗下而烦躁属阳盛。既经
汗下后而烦躁属阳虚。且汗下之后。津液告竭。故于四逆汤中。加茯苓以安下。人参以补虚
也。

Fuling (Poria, 6 liang) Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, 1 liang) Gancao (Licorice Root, 2 liang) Ganjiang (Dried Ginger, 1.5 liang) Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Lateralis Radix, 1 piece, raw, peeled, broken into eight pieces)
The above five herbs. Boil with five sheng of water until three sheng remain. Strain the dregs. Take seven ge warm, three times a day.
After sweating or purging therapies, if the disease remains unresolved and irritability (Fan Zao, restlessness and agitation) occurs, it is primarily treated with Fuling Sini Tang (Poria Decoction for Four Inversion). Note: Irritability occurring without prior sweating or purging belongs to excess Yang heat; irritability occurring after sweating and purging belongs to Yang deficiency. Furthermore, after sweating and purging, body fluids are exhausted. Therefore, Fuling is added to Sini Tang to calm the spirit in the lower jiao, and Renshen is added to tonify deficiency.
Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix) Zhishi (Immature Bitter Orange, stir-baked) Gancao (Licorice Root, stir-baked) Shaoyao (White Peony Root)
The above four herbs. Each in ten parts. Crush and sieve. Mix with rice water and take one fangcun bi (a measure approx. 20-30ml), three times a day.
Modifications: For cough, add Wuweizi (Schisandra Fruit) and Ganjiang each in five parts; also primarily treats diarrhea. For body pain, cold hands and feet, bone and joint pain, and a deep pulse (Chen Mai), this decoction is indicated. A deep pulse indicates the pathogen is in the interior; only warming the interior is appropriate. Here, differentiation relies entirely on the deep pulse. It is also stated: In Shaoyin disease, within one or two days, if the mouth feels neutral (no bitter or dry taste) and there is aversion to cold in the back, moxibustion should be applied, and this decoction is indicated. Here, differentiation relies on the neutral mouth feeling. A neutral mouth with back aversion to cold indicates that this is not aversion to cold caused by constrained Yang pathogens; thus, using this decoction is undoubtedly correct.
This is the standard treatment method for warming meridians and dispersing cold in Shaoyin disease. It mainly relies on the potent nature of Fuzi to dissipate cold-water in the kidney below and assist the heart's heat transformation above. Renshen assists Yang. Shaoyao harmonizes Yin. Fuling promotes diuresis to expel water-dampness. Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) dries dampness to warm the spleen-earth. They work together to warm and support, absolutely avoiding any dispersing herbs. As long as the primal Yang is revitalized, the disease will resolve naturally.
Ke Yunbo said: This formula appears similar to but is actually different from Zhenwu Tang (True Warrior Decoction). Doubling Baizhu and Fuzi, removing Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger), and adding Renshen constitutes warming and tonifying to strengthen primal Yang. Zhenwu Tang still focuses on warming, dispersing, and promoting diuresis for stomach water retention. This clarifies the boundary between Zhenwu Tang and Fuzi Tang clearly.
Gancao (Licorice Root, 2 liang, stir-baked) Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Lateralis Radix, 2 pieces, processed, peeled, broken into eight pieces) Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, 2 liang) Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig, 4 liang, peeled)
The above four herbs. Boil with six sheng of water until three sheng remain. Strain the dregs. Take one sheng warm, three times a day. If mild sweating occurs after the first dose, the condition resolves. If eating leads to sweating followed by irritability, take five ge. If one sheng is feared to be too much, start with six or seven ge.
The classics state: Wind-dampness combats each other, causing vexing pain in bone joints, pulling pain preventing flexion and extension, severe pain upon touch. Sweating, shortness of breath, dysuria, aversion to wind, reluctance to remove clothes.
Or slight swelling of the body: Ganyao Fuzi Tang (Licorice and Aconite Decoction) is indicated. Note: This passage describes the symptoms of wind-dampness combatting most vividly. Dampness obstructs the meridians, hence severe body swelling/pain and dysuria. Wind invades the Wei (defensive) level, hence sweating, shortness of breath, and aversion to wind with reluctance to remove clothes. Fuzi and Baizhu unblock the Taiyin spleen to drive out dampness. Gancao and Guizhi connect the Taiyang bladder to disperse wind. Generally, inducing heavy sweating in wind-dampness cases will not resolve the disease. This formula also implies an intention not to induce heavy sweating. Mild sweating is ideal.
