[Formula by Sun Simiao for treating epidemic qi cold damage, where the condition has not resolved within three days of onset]
Hao Chi (Fermented Soybean) (1 sheng, wrapped in silk gauze) Cong Bai (Scallion White) (1 sheng, chopped) Tong Niao (Child's Urine) (3 sheng)
Take the above three ingredients. First decoct the Hao Chi and Cong Bai until their properties are well combined. Then add the Tong Niao. Decoct to obtain 2 sheng of liquid. Divide into two doses. Administer slowly. Cover the patient to induce sweating; this is highly effective.
Hu notes: The aforementioned indications mention "epidemic qi cold damage." From this, we know that this "epidemic qi" does not refer to a large-scale plague, but rather to abnormal cool or hot air occurring out of season during the four seasons. People are unprepared for it, and those who fall ill tend to have similar symptoms; hence it is called "epidemic." This is essentially cold damage occurring in the four seasons. Cong Bai and Hao Chi are acrid and cool, used to disperse stagnation in the stomach and intestines. Tong Niao is cold in nature, used to descend heat from the Yangming channel. Once the heat and stagnation are removed, the disease resolves spontaneously.
[Another formula for treating cold damage after four or five days, characterized by headache, high fever, vexing pain in the four limbs, and inability to eat / Seven-Ingredient Coptis Decoction]
Zhi Zi Ren (Gardenia Seed) Huang Lian (Coptis Rhizome) Huang Bo (Phellodendron Bark) Da Huang (Rhubarb Root) (each 0.5 liang) Hao Chi (Fermented Soybean) (1 sheng) Cong Bai (Scallion White) (7 stalks)
Crush the above herbs. Use 8 sheng of water. Decoct the first four ingredients for six or seven boils. Add the Cong Bai and Hao Chi. Continue decocting until 3 sheng remains. Take 1 sheng at one time, three times a day. After taking the decoction, cover warmly to induce sweating. If sweating does not occur, administer again to promote diaphoresis. This medicine has no contraindications and is particularly excellent for both the elderly and children.
Hu notes: The above formula treats simultaneous heat in the Yangming channel and fu-organs. It is also a preparation for clearing excess heat from the Sanjiao (Triple Burner). Headache, high fever, and vexing pain in the four limbs indicate heat in the channel. Inability to eat indicates excess in the fu-organs. To resolve excess heat, this decoction is most efficacious.
It is also used to treat summer cold damage, presenting with vexing pain in the four limbs, fever, frequent irritability, vomiting and regurgitation, and chest/hypochondriac fullness. The condition may be severe as if possessed by evil spirits, with cold and heat pathogens battling each other, causing frequent irritability. The Seven-Ingredient Coptis Decoction is indicated.
Huang Lian (Coptis Rhizome) Fu Ling (Poria) Huang Qin (Scutellaria Root) (each 18 zhu) Shao Yao (Peony Root) Ge Gen (Kudzu Root) (each 1 liang) Gan Cao (Licorice Root) (1 liang 6 zhu) Xiao Mai (Wheat Grain) (3 he)
Crush the above herbs. Use 7 sheng of water. Decoct to obtain 3 sheng. Divide into three doses. If one cannot take 1 sheng at once, administer gradually. After the medicinal effect settles, lie down to rest. This medicine primarily clears toxic vapors. After taking the decoction, heat in the chest and sore throat will heal. On the following day, decoct another dose and administer according to the same method. This decoction is non-toxic; it only clears heat, directs qi downward, and calms the patient. For children, use one-third of the dose: use 4 sheng of water, decoct to 2 sheng, and administer gradually.
Hu notes: The above formula clears and resolves wind-heat in the Yangming channel. The use of Xiao Mai (Wheat Grain) is analogous to the addition of Jing Mi (Rice Grain) in Zhang Zhongjing's Bai Hu Tang (White Tiger Decoction).
It is also used to treat seasonal qi diseases, characterized by irritability and fever like fire, delirious speech, and restlessness wanting to run. The Water-Guiding Powder is indicated.
