[Outline of Collapse Syndrome] The Spleen ascending clear yang and the Stomach descending turbid yin generate the mechanism of transformation; the root source of Qi and Blood requires distinguishing between clarity and turbidity. If reversal occurs and transformation is completely halted, both Yin and Yang will collapse, and life will be on the verge of perishing.
Wugan Decoction (Black Liver Decoction)
(Attached Syndrome) When essence and blood scatter during Yin collapse, Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction), Shaoyao (White Peony Root), and He Shou Wu (Polygoni Multiflori Radix Preparata) are administered first. Combined with Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Fuling (Poria), Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata), and Gancao (Licorice Radix et Rhizoma), this formula can revive the dying and achieve miraculous effects.
Tusui Decoction (Rabbit Marrow Decoction)
(Attached Syndrome) When spirit and Qi fly upward during Yang collapse, Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Maimendong (Ophiopogonis Radix), and Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata) may be used together. Combined with Yuanshen (Scrophulariae Radix), Gancao (Licorice Radix et Rhizoma), Wuweizi (Schisandrae Fructus), Longgu (Fossilia Ossis Mastodi), and Muli (Concha Ostreae), it forcefully reverses the crisis of vital energy, yielding extraordinary efficacy.
[Outline of Night Sweats] Fever persists in the body for a long time without ceasing; sweat appears during sleep and stops upon waking. To understand the cause of this syndrome, it originally belongs to Yin deficiency as the pathological basis.
[Outline of Spontaneous Sweating] The body feels uneasy and constantly fears cold; sweat diffuses profusely regardless of movement or rest. The disease origin primarily stems from Yang deficiency; clinical diagnosis should be conducted with careful scrutiny.
Ye's Formula
(Attached Syndrome) Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Shudi Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata), and Hulianzi (Nelumbinis Semen) are used together; Wuweizi (Schisandrae Fructus) and Fushen (Poria cum Radix et Mycelium) require focused application. Adding Gancao (Licorice Radix et Rhizoma) to tonify Qi can cure sweating caused by Yin deficiency.
Shenfu Decoction (Ginseng and Aconite Decoction)
(Attached Syndrome) Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) assists Qi to reverse critical conditions; Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata) drives away cold with unique strength. For syndromes of Yang deficiency with excessive sweating, taking this excellent formula leads to recovery.
Shaoyao Gancao Fuzi Decoction (White Peony, Licorice, and Prepared Aconite Decoction)
(Attached Syndrome) When both Yin and Yang are simultaneously deficient, the method of using Shaoyao (White Peony Root) to clear heat and Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata) to warm and tonify is ingenious. Gancao (Licorice Radix et Rhizoma) harmonizes the Middle Jiao and should be shared; this wonderful formula can stop profuse sweating.
Zhenwu Syndrome
(Formula see Shanghan Lun) When Kidney Water overflows, differentiation must be detailed; incessant sweating indicates Yang collapse. To know what medicine is needed for this syndrome, the treatment method should appropriately administer Zhenwu Tang (True Warrior Decoction).
[Outline of Insomnia] The causes of insomnia are manifold, encompassing Excess, Deficiency, Heat, and Cold. Once the disease source is identified and appropriate medicine is administered, one cup brings peace to the Spirit.
Suanzaoren Decoction (Sour Jujube Seed Decoction)
(Attached Syndrome) Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma) and Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma) combined with Fuling (Poria) work together; Suanzaoren (Ziziphi Spinosae Semen) and Gancao (Licorice Radix et Rhizoma) also possess spiritual efficacy. When the Spirit is disturbed by Fire making sleep difficult, taking the medicine ensures deep sleep until awakened.
Banxia Shumi Decoction (Pinellia and Millet Decoction)
(Attached Syndrome) Use water from a flowing stream, frequently splashing it; Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) and Shumi (Milii Semen) are decocted together. Drinking a cup quickly eliminates Jue Ni (reversal cold/heat), ensuring the Spirit enters a sweet dreamland.
Xiao Banxia Ji Fuling Decoction (Minor Pinellia plus Poria Decoction)
(Attached Syndrome) Symptoms present when Water-Qi stagnates; dampness and痞 (fullness)郁 (stagnation) press upon the Palace City (Heart/Shen). The Spirit is troubled and unable to sleep soundly; Fuling (Poria), Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma), and Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) are precisely selected herbs.
