The *Zhubing Yuanhou Lun* (Treatise on the Pathogenesis and Manifestations of All Diseases) states: When Spleen Qi is excessive, manifesting as an excess in physical form, it causes abdominal distension and difficult urination; heaviness of the body, bitter taste in the mouth, hunger with poor appetite, flaccidity and weakness of the legs that cannot support the body, stumbling while walking, and borborygmus. This constitutes a deficiency syndrome of Spleen Qi, which should be treated with tonification methods.
The *Shanfan Fang* (Eliminating Redundancy Formulas) treats Spleen deficiency-cold, qi distension due to overstrain, belching and fullness, inability to ingest food smoothly, and formulas for digestion:
Porcine fat (3 sheng) Ginger juice from stored ginger (5 sheng) Evodia fruit (1 sheng) Atractylodes macrocephala Rhizome (1 sheng)
Pound the Evodia fruit and other two ingredients into a powder, add them to the ginger juice and porcine fat mixture, decoct until 6 sheng remain. Take one cun-bi (square-inch measure) with warm wine, twice daily.
The *Qianjin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) treats Spleen excess-heat, stiffness of the tongue root, or dreaming of singing and laughing accompanied by heavy body and inability to walk, using the Xiere Tang (Heat-Draining Decoction):
Bupleurum Root (3 fen) Poria (3 fen) Scrophularia Root (2 fen) Isatis Root (2 fen) Gentian Root (3 liang) Asarum Root (3 fen) Apricot Seed (4 fen)
Nine medicinal materials, decoct in 9 sheng of water until 3 sheng remain. Divide into three doses.
The *Jiyao Fang* (Extremely Important Formulas) treats Spleen heat, internal heat with dry lips and thirst, edema, and heavy body:
Take 5 liang of fresh Rehmannia Root, pound it with water, squeeze out the juice, soak plum fruits in it, mix with honey, and take orally.
Another formula: Take 1 sheng of celery juice, taken once.
Another formula: Take Ophiopogon Tuber juice.
The *Guangji Fang* (Broad Aid Formulas) primarily treats heat in the Stomach and Spleen, desire to drink cold water, and difficulty swallowing food:
Poria (4 liang) Licorice Root (2 liang) Gypsum Fibrosum (5 liang) Phellodendron Bark (3 liang) Imperata Rhizome (cut, 1 sheng)
Cut the herbs, decoct in 8 sheng of water until 2.5 sheng remain. Strain to remove dregs, divide into three warm doses. Avoid hot noodles, hot meat, kelp, pork, and garlic.
The *Seng Shen Fang* (Monk Shen's Formulas) Wenyi Tang (Warm the Spleen Decoction) treats insufficient Spleen Qi, weakness leading to diarrhea, and dysregulation of qi moving up and down:
Dried Ginger (3 liang) Ginseng Root (2 liang) Prepared Aconite Root (2 liang) Licorice Root (3 liang) Rhubarb (3 liang)
Five medicinal materials in total, cut, decoct in 8 sheng of water until 2.5 sheng remain. Divide into three doses. This should facilitate the expulsion of pathogenic toxins and excesses, yielding excellent results.
