Indicated for thirty-six types of wind pathogens and seventy-two kinds of qi disorders manifesting as upper heat and lower cold, pain in the waist and feet, weakness in the four limbs, excessive sleepiness, poor appetite, gradual emaciation and yellowing complexion, disfigured appearance, malignant sores, *xia zhu* (a type of infectious malignant sore), wind accumulation, and *pi qi kuai* (abdominal masses). It can be taken by both the elderly and children. It greatly tonifies essence, preserves youthfulness, disperses wind, and regulates qi.

Formula: *Cheqianzi* (Plantaginis Semen) (2.5 liang), *Binglang* (Arecae Semen), *Huomazi* (Hemp Seed) (lightly stir-fried, husked, and separately ground), *Niuxi* (Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix) (soaked in wine for two nights), *Tusizi* (Cuscutae Semen) (steamed in wine, pounded into a cake, and sun-dried), *Zhiqiao* (Aurantii Fructus) (stir-fried with bran), *Yuliren* (Prunus Armeniacae Semen Amarum) (soaked in hot water, husked, and separately ground), *Shanyao* (Dioscoreae Rhizoma) (stir-fried with ginger juice, 2 liang each), *Fangfeng* (Saposhnikoviae Radix) (remove rhizome), *Duhuo* (Angelicae Pubescentis Radix) (remove soil, 1 liang each), *Shanzhuyu* (Corni Fructus) (remove core, use pure flesh, 2 liang), *Dahuang* (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) (5.5 liang, half raw, half baked/stir-baked until charred).

Grind the above ingredients into fine powder, mix with refined honey, and make pills the size of *Wutong* (Chinese parasol tree) seeds. Take 30 pills per dose initially, gradually increasing to 40-50 pills. Administer with wine, tea, or rice gruel as desired, with no dietary restrictions. Take once on an empty stomach and once before bed. Long-term use eliminates accumulated stagnation in the intestines, strengthens spirit, prevents various diseases, clarifies hearing and vision, lightens the waist and feet, and makes the elderly appear younger. Pregnant women should not take this. If one feels slight movement in the viscera after taking the medicine, nourish with mutton lung soup. Additionally, it treats *chang feng* bleeding (hematochezia due to wind in the intestines), stroke paralysis, and slurred speech (*yan yu jian se*). It is effective for various diseases, especially suitable for the elderly.

In winter, for typical *shang han* (cold damage), strictly follow Zhang Zhongjing's treatment methods without alteration. However, for cases involving internal injury from raw/cold foods combined with external contraction of wind-cold, presenting with headache and fever, stiffness and tension in the shoulders and back, epigastric and abdominal fullness and obstruction, vomiting and regurgitation, aversion to wind, edema of the four limbs, alternating chills and fever, pain in the waist and knees, and irregular menstruation in women, *Shengliao Wuji San* (Raw Material Five Accumulations Powder) is appropriate.

Standard *Shengliao Wuji San* contains: *Chuanxiong*, *Danggui*, *Baishao*, *Fuzi* (sometimes omitted in 'raw' version but present in others, here absent), *Cangzhu*, *Gancao*, *Ganjiang*, *Guizhi/Rougui*, *Houpo*, *Jiegeng*, *Kucang* (not listed here explicitly but implied in some versions? No, text lists specific items). Let's stick strictly to text: *Chuanxiong*, *Danggui*, *Baishaoyao*, *Zhiqiao*, *Mahuang*, *Baizhi*, *Banxia*, *Nongpu* (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex), *Guanni Gui* (Cinnamomi Ramulus/Cortex), *Ganjiang*, *Jiegeng*, *Fuling*, *Chenpi*, *Cangzhu*, *Gancao*.
