水煎服。
《金匮》名甘草干姜茯苓白术汤，甘、术各二两，姜、苓各四两，药品与此方同，而轻
重不同耳。盖以腰者，肾之府也，腰痛自当补肾。腰痛而重，是寒湿之邪，不在肾之中间，
而在肾之外府，故其治不在温肾以散寒，而在燥土以胜湿，若用桂附则反伤肾阴矣。

Shen Zhuo Tang (Kidney-Attaching Decoction): Treats lower back pain accompanied by a heavy sensation, as if five thousand coins were hanging from the waist.
Fuling (Poria), Baizhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma, raw, each 3 qian), Ganjiang (Dried Ginger, 2 qian), Zhigancao (Prepared Licorice Root, 1 qian).
Decoct in water and take orally.
In *Jingui Yaolue* (Essential Prescriptions of the Golden Cabinet), it is named Gancao Ganjiang Fuling Baizhu Tang (Licorice, Dried Ginger, Poria, and Atractylodes Rhizoma Decoction), where Gancao (Licorice) and Baizhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma) are each used in 2 liang, while Ganjiang (Dried Ginger) and Fuling (Poria) are each used in 4 liang. The ingredients are identical to this formula, but the dosages differ. This is because the waist is the mansion of the Kidney; thus, lower back pain should naturally be treated by tonifying the Kidney. However, lower back pain with heaviness indicates that Cold-Dampness pathogenic factors are not located within the interior of the Kidney, but rather in the exterior mansion surrounding it. Therefore, treatment should not focus on warming the Kidney to dispel Cold, but rather on drying dampness by strengthening the Spleen (Earth). Using Rougui (Cinnamon Bark) and Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root) would instead damage Kidney Yin.
Wuji San (Five Accumulations Powder) (see Lijie section); Guifu Bawei Wan (Cinnamon Twig and Prepared Aconite Root Eight-Ingredient Pill) (see Phlegm-Fluids section); Liuwei Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia Root) (see Jue syndrome section); Erchen Tang (Two-Aged Decoction) (see Phlegm-Fluids section).
Suanzaoren Tang (Sour Jujube Seed Decoction):
Suanzaoren (Ziziphi Spinosae Semen, 8 qian, raw and not ground), Gancao (Licorice Root, 1.5 qian), Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma), Fuling (Poria, each 3 qian), Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma, 1.5 qian).
Use three cups of water. First decoct Suanzaoren (Ziziphi Spinosae Semen) until two cups remain, then add the other herbs and decoct until eight-tenths remains for administration.
You Zaijing stated: "When a person is awake, the Hun (Ethereal Soul) resides in the eyes; when sleeping, the Hun is stored in the Liver. In individuals with deficiency exhaustion, Liver Qi fails to nourish, hence Suanzaoren (Ziziphi Spinosae Semen) is used to tonify and astringe. However, insomnia due to deficiency heat irritability must involve disturbance from dry fire and phlegm-qi. Thus, Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma) and Gancao (Licorice Root) clear heat and moisten dryness, while Fuling (Poria) and Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma) move qi and resolve phlegm. All these measures aim to regulate the Liver and provide a dwelling place for the Hun."

Make into cherry-sized honey pills. Take one pill per dose at any time, chew thoroughly, and swallow with plain boiled water. Another version excludes Mugua (Chaenomelis Fructus) and includes Renshen (Ginseng Radix) and Ganjiang (Dried Ginger).
Xu Lingtai said: "The use of Mugua (Chaenomelis Fructus) and Wumei (Mume Fruit) in this formula is ingenious."
Yet another prescription: Chi Xin (Sojae Semen Praeparatum heart/core, 1 sheng, roasted and powdered), Maiya (Hordei Fructus Germinatus), Shenqu (Massa Medicata Fermentata, each 1 liang, roasted), Chuanjiao (Sichuan Pepper, 1 sheng, stir-fried until sweat appears), Ganjiang (Dried Ginger, 1 sheng, powdered).
