[From "Ren's Book"] Wuweizi Decoction Formula / And Ligeng Decoction Formula
Treats asthma and rapid breathing, hidden pulse, and cold extremities caused by Shanghan (Cold Damage).
Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Maimendong (Ophiopogonis Radix) (remove the heart), Xingren (Prunus Armeniaca Seed) (remove skin and tip), Jupi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) (remove white pith, each 2.5 qian), Wuweizi (Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus) (0.5 liang), Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) (2.5 qian), Zaozi (Jujubae Fructus) (3 pieces, broken open).
The above herbs are chopped like hemp or bean seeds. Use two large bai zhen of water. Boil until one bai zhen remains. Remove the dregs. Divide into two doses.
Wang Hu notes: The aforementioned indications mention "asthma and rapid breathing, hidden pulse, and cold extremities." This should be due to the ministerial fire of the Hand-Jueyin Pericardium channel, combined with pathogenic heat, stagnating internally and causing cold extremities. Therefore, the aforementioned decoction greatly clears the Heart. Its concurrent moistening of the Lung is because excessive fire prevents the scorching of Metal (Lung). However, the use of Jiang (Ginger), Zao (Jujube), and Renshen in the decoction is suspected to be too tonifying. This formula should apply to cases after Shanghan where pathogenic qi is already weak, true Yin is deficient, internal heat does not resolve, and cold extremities manifest externally. Only in such cases is this formula appropriate.
Treats Qi rushing upward, directly hitting the epigastrium/heart region.
Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) (washed with hot water, 0.5 liang), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba/Fucsinia), Fuling (Poria) (each 1 fen), Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) (1 liang), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (processed with honey, each 1 fen), Ganli Gen Baipi (Mume Radicis Cortex) (2 he).
The above herbs are chopped like hemp or bean seeds. For each dose, take five qian bi of the herbs, add four slices of Shengjiang (Ginger), and one and a half zhen of water. Decoct until eight parts remain. Remove the dregs and take warm.
Wang Hu notes: The aforementioned indications state "treats Qi rushing upward, directly hitting the heart region." This is a disease of the Jueyin channel. The character "Chong" (rush) implies the meaning of "Zhuang" (collide/bump). Zhang Zhongjing, in the first article of the Jueyin chapter of his treatise, discusses symptoms but provides no formulas. Therefore, Zhu Shi (Zhu Gong) collected this formula to treat the aforementioned syndrome. Ganli Gen Baipi (Ligustrum lucidum root bark) is sweet, cold, and slightly sour, obtaining the upright Qi of Wood. It greatly enters the Jueyin channel, treats Xiao Ke (Wasting-Thirst), and stops mental irritability and rebellious Qi. Thus, it serves as the Sovereign herb. All other herbs nourish Yin, descend Fire, clear, and guide rebellious Qi downward. Only Banxia, Guizhi, and Jiang are acrid-warm agents. It is speculated that Qi rushing upward to the Heart resembles palpitations caused by Water retention below the Heart. Perhaps the water drunk by patients with Xiao Ke has not been metabolized, so this can be used. Otherwise, it is better not to take it.
Liu Hejian said: Accumulated Heat internally is severe, Yang Jue (cold extremities due to heat) is extremely deep. Due to Yang Qi stagnation, it cannot circulate on the body surface and limbs, resulting in whole-body coldness, unbearable severe pain, stiffness and tension of the neck and back, blueish sclera, and eye pain. (The eyes belong to the Liver; when Liver Heat is severe, pain occurs. "Blueish eye pain" means the eye vessels should be red; interpreting it as blue eye color is erroneous.) Dizziness, confusion, dry throat, or painful irritability and thirst, spontaneous sweating, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal fullness and solid pain, vexation and restlessness, rapid breathing, and repetitive speech (Zhengsheng). Although the pulse is rapid, because the accumulated Heat is extremely deep and the pulse channels are obstructed, the pulse instead becomes deep, thin, and nearly imperceptible. Or, if Yang Heat suddenly becomes severe at the onset, these symptoms appear immediately. Or in cases of Lianggan (simultaneous contraction of two channels) with severe heat, all should generally use Jiedu Tang (Detoxification Decoction) plus Dachengqi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction) to purge. If heat does not subside, purging should be repeated. Ancients said that if heat remains after three purgations, death ensues. However, there are cases where following the method and purging three to five times leads to heat subsiding and survival, avoiding inevitable death from failure to purge and reduce heat. After purgation, if heat slightly subsides but recovery is incomplete, adjust with Huanglian Jiedu Tang (Coptis Decoction for Detoxification). Or, if failure to purge earlier led to extreme heat, resulting in cold body, faint pulse, and coma approaching death, urgent purgation would cause the remaining Yin to abruptly cease, leading to death. (When Yang Heat is hyperactive, little Yin remains, hence "remaining Yin".) This is because Yang Qi exhausted later. However, non-purgation also leads to death. One should use Liangge San (Cool the Chest Powder), or Huanglian Jiedu Tang, or both combined, or Baihu Tang (White Tiger Decoction) combined with Liangge San, to nourish Yin and retreat Yang. As accumulated Heat gradually dissipates, the chest and heart will become warm, and the pulse will gradually return. Only when the pulse regains strength can Sanyi Chengqi Tang (Three-One Order the Qi Decoction) be used for purgation. Or adjust with Jiedu Tang plus Liuyi San (Six-to-One Powder). After recovery, it is still advisable to take antipyretic medicines. For interior Heat with a slippery pulse and cold extremities, Baihu Tang is appropriate. In cases of extreme Heat and deep Jue, if after all purgative medications, defecation is impossible, rescue is futile and death is certain. Huanglian Jiedu Tang, plus one qian bi of Gansui powder, can be used for purgation. (All aforementioned decoctions and powders are seen in Volume 6 Yangming Chapter previously; Liuyi San is seen after Volume 5 Taiyang Chapter; only Jiedu Tang is attached here.)
