General treatment for various wind-dampness, heat-toxin sores, and epidemic febrile diseases (Liuixingxing Rebing)
Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Chuanxiong (Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Lianqiao (Forsythiae Fructus), Bohe (Menthae Haplocalycis Herba) (each 1 qian); Jingjiesui (Schizonepetae Spica), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Shanzhi (Gardeniae Fructus) (each 7 fen); Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix), Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix) (each 1.5 qian); Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum) (2 qian); Huashi (Talcum) (3 qian); Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (5 fen).
Take the above herbs, add three slices of fresh ginger, two bowls of water, decoct to one bowl, and take after meals. Within this formula, Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma), Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas), and Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba) should be gradually increased according to symptoms: if internal wind-heat is severe and purgation is desired, increase Dahuang (3 qian) and Mangxiao (2 qian); if wind-dampness-heat is in the exterior and sweating is desired, add Mahuang (2 qian) and Congbai (Allii Fistulosi Bulbus); if there is spontaneous diarrhea and cold constitution, remove Mangxiao and Dahuang; if there is spontaneous sweating, remove Mahuang and add Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) (2 qian in autumn/winter, 8 fen in spring/summer). This serves as the common basis (based on this formula).
Treatment for abdominal pain and chronic diarrhea due to Liver Wood overacting on Spleen in spring
Renshen (Ginseng Radix) (1.5 qian); Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) (stir-fried with aged soil, 2.5 qian); Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) (stir-fried with vinegar, 1.5 qian); Qingpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride) (remove pith, stir-fried with bran, 7 fen); Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) (remove white pith, 1 qian); Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) (charred, 1 qian); Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (honey-fried, 1 qian); Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma) (stir-fried with bran, 1.5 qian); Shengma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma) (5 fen); Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix) (5 fen); Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix) (5 fen); Bai Fuling (Poria) (1 qian). If chronic diarrhea is due to deficiency-cold, add Shu Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata) (1 qian).
Take the above herbs, add three slices of fresh ginger and two jujubes, two bowls of water, decoct to one bowl, and take before meals.
Treatment for catching cold from non-seasonal Shanghan (Taiyang disease caused by cold pathogen), headache, fever, stiffness, aversion to cold with high fever, and epidemic plague febrile diseases
Renshen (Ginseng Radix) (1 qian); Qianghuo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix) (1.5 qian); Duohuo (Angelicae Pubescentis Radix) (1 qian); Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix) (1.2 qian); Qianhu (Peucedani Radix) (1 qian); Gegen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix) (1 qian); Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (5 fen); Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix), Zhiqiao (Aurantii Fructus), Fuling (Poria) (each 8 fen); Chuanxiong (Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma) (each 1 qian).
For illnesses caused by overwork, double the dose of Renshen, add Baizhu, Danggui, and Baishao, and remove Duohuo and Qianhu. After famines and wars, due to irregular diet and lifestyle leading to epidemic warm-heat diseases that spread door-to-door within communities, use this formula with added Baizhu and raw Huangqin, double the dose of Renshen, and remove Qianhu and Duohuo for significant effect. If multiple doses yield no improvement and there are alternating chills and fever (Hanre Wanglai), Xiao Chaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) must be used without limit on the number of doses, which will cause no harm. There is also a type of "Toad Plague" (Hamawang) causing phlegm obstruction by wind, irritability, fever, headache, body pain, vomiting, or normal diet and起居 but with hoarse, continuous coughing resembling frog croaking, hence commonly called Toad Plague. During the fifth and sixth months of the Jiwei year of the Jiajing era (1559-1560), throughout Jiangnan and north of the Huai River, hundreds of miles were affected similarly, even presenting with red eyes, mouth ulcers, mumps-like swelling of cheeks, throat closure, wind obstruction, sneezing, and thick nasal discharge and saliva. Use this formula removing Fuling, Jiegeng, and Duohuo, adding Qingpi, Chenpi, Baizhu, and Huoxiang, using Jingjie as a guide, without Shengjiang or Bohe, cured in one or two doses.
