方中用代赭领。人参甘草下行以镇胃中之逆气固已奇矣。更用旋覆领半夏姜枣。而涤膈上之风痰尤不可测。设非此
法承领上下。何能转否为泰于反掌耶。
赤石脂(一两碎) 禹余粮(一斤碎)
以上二味。以水六升。煮取二升。去滓三服。
赤石脂(一斤一半全用一半筛末) 干姜 粳米(一升)
上三味以水七升。煮水令熟。去滓。温服七合。纳赤石脂末方寸匕。日三服。若一服愈。余勿服。
石脂之涩。以固下焦滑脱。必稍加干姜粳米。以理中气之虚。虚能受热。故虽热邪下利。不妨仍用干姜之辛。以佐
石脂之涩。汤中用石脂半斤。不为少矣。服时又必加末方寸匕。取留滓。以沽肠胃也。盖少阴主禁固二便肾水为火所灼。
不能济火。火克大肠金。故下痢便血脓所以用干姜从治之法犹白通汤之用人尿猪胆彼假其寒。此假其热耳。
Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma), Gancao (Licorice Root, prepared with honey), Ganjiang (Dried Ginger), Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig) each 3 liang; Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) 2 liang; Banxia (Pinelliae Tuber, half sheng, washed); Dazao (Jujubae Fructus) 12 pieces, split open.
The above seven ingredients are boiled in 10 dou of water until reduced to 6 sheng. The dregs are removed, and the decoction is taken warm, 1 sheng per dose, three times during the day and twice at night.
Gegen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix) 8 liang; Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) 2 liang; Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma) 3 liang; Gancao (Licorice Root, prepared with honey) 2 liang.
The above four ingredients are boiled in 8 sheng of water. Gegen is first boiled until the water volume decreases by 2 sheng, then the other herbs are added. The mixture is boiled until reduced to 2 sheng. The dregs are removed, and the decoction is divided into doses and taken warm, optionally accompanied by a small amount of wine.
Houpo (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex, peeled and prepared with honey) 8 liang; Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, sliced) 8 liang; Gancao (Licorice Root, prepared with honey) 2 liang; Banxia (Pinelliae Tuber, half sheng, washed); Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) 1 liang.
The above five ingredients are boiled in 10 dou of water until reduced to 3 sheng. The dregs are removed, and the decoction is taken warm, 1 sheng per dose, three times daily.
Ganjiang (Dried Ginger), Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix), Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) each 3 liang.
The above four ingredients are boiled in 6 sheng of water until reduced to 2 sheng. The dregs are removed, and the decoction is divided into two doses and taken warm.
Wuzhuyu (Evodiae Fructus, washed) 1 sheng; Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) 3 liang; Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, sliced) 6 liang; Dazao (Jujubae Fructus) 12 pieces, split open.
The above four ingredients are boiled in 7 sheng of water until reduced to 2 sheng. The dregs are removed, and the decoction is taken warm, 7 ge per dose, three times daily.
Xuanfuhua (Inulae Flos) 3 liang; Daizheshi (Haematitum) 1 liang; Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) 2 liang; Gancao (Licorice Root, prepared with honey) 3 liang; Banxia (Pinelliae Tuber, half jin, washed); Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, sliced) 5 liang; Dazao (Jujubae Fructus) 12 pieces, split open.
The above seven ingredients are boiled in 10 dou of water until reduced to 6 sheng. The dregs are removed, and the liquid is re-boiled until reduced to 3 sheng. The decoction is taken warm, 1 sheng per dose, three times daily.
In this formula, Daizheshi (Haematitum) guides Renshen and Gancao downward to suppress rebellious Qi in the stomach, which is already ingenious. Furthermore, Xuanfuhua (Inulae Flos) guides Banxia, Shengjiang, and Dazao to clear wind-phlegm from the diaphragm, an effect that is particularly profound. Without this method of coordinating upper and lower aspects, how could one turn misfortune into fortune as easily as flipping a hand?
Chishizhi (Kaolinitum, 1 liang, crushed) and Yuyuliang (Pyritum, 1 jin, crushed).
The above two ingredients are boiled in 6 sheng of water until reduced to 2 sheng. The dregs are removed, and the decoction is divided into three doses.
Chishizhi (Kaolinitum, 1 jin: half used whole, half sifted into powder), Ganjiang (Dried Ginger), Jingmi (Oryza Sativa Germen) 1 sheng.
The above three ingredients are boiled in 7 sheng of water until the rice is cooked. The dregs are removed, and the decoction is taken warm, 7 ge per dose. At the time of administration, add 1 fangcunbi (a square-inch measure) of Chishizhi powder. Take three times daily. If symptoms resolve after one dose, do not take the remaining medicine.
The astringent property of Chishizhi (Kaolinitum) is used to secure the sliding and uncontrolled discharge of the Lower Jiao. It is necessary to add a little Ganjiang and Jingmi to regulate the deficiency of Middle Qi. Since deficiency conditions are susceptible to heat, even if there is diarrhea caused by pathogenic heat, it is still appropriate to use the pungent-warm nature of Ganjiang to assist the astringency of Chishizhi. Using half a jin of Chishizhi in the decoction is not a small amount. Adding the powder when taking the medicine ensures that the residue remains in the intestines and stomach to exert its effect. This is because Shaoyin (Kidney) governs the retention of urine and feces. When Kidney Water is scorched by Fire and cannot control Heart Fire, Fire overacts on Lung Metal (Large Intestine belongs to Metal), leading to dysentery with blood and pus. Therefore, the use of Ganjiang follows the principle of "treating according to the apparent syndrome" (Cong Zhi). This is similar to the use of Human Urine and Pig Gallbladder in Baitong Tang; that approach borrows cold properties, whereas this approach borrows warm properties.
