取阴也；足有疾、取之上，是阴病取阳也；中有疾、旁取之，中者，脾胃也，旁者少阳甲胆
克之，又是升阳助清气上行之法也）。

(Li Dongyuan)
Treats Spleen and Stomach deficiency (Pi Wei Xu), lethargy, and drowsiness. It is applied when the dryness of autumn prevails, damp-heat is receding, the body feels heavy with joint pain, there is a bitter taste in the mouth and dry tongue, anorexia, food stagnation in the chest causing heaviness and joint pain.
[Note: The original text contains formatting errors. Based on the context of *Yi Fang Ji Jie* and Li Dongyuan's formulas, the following is a coherent translation of the composition and efficacy of "Sheng Yang Yi Wei Tang".]
Ingredients: Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma, 2 liang), Renshen (Ginseng Radix), Zhi Gancao (Prepared Licorice Root), Banxia (Pinelliae Tuber, 1 liang; use if the pulse is choppy), Chao Baishao (Stir-fried White Peony Root), Qianghuo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix), Duhuo (Angelicae Pubescentis Radix), Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), etc. (If urination is free and thirst is absent, decoct with Dazao (Jujubae Fructus)).
Additionally, Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) added with Chao Qu (Maltum stir-fried) and Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) is also called "Yi Wei Sheng Yang Tang" (Benefit the Stomach and Raise the Yang Decoction) (Li Dongyuan): Treats women with menstrual stasis, sudden profuse discharge of blood clots, and watery diarrhea due to Spleen deficiency.
This formula acts on the Foot-Taiyin Spleen meridian and Foot-Yangming Stomach meridian. Liu Junzi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction: Renshen, Baizhu, Fuling, Gancao, Chenpi, Banxia) assists Yang and benefits the Stomach; it is a superior formula for tonifying the Spleen and Stomach. Adding Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma) supplements Lung Qi and secures the Defensive Qi (Wei Qi); Baishao (White Peony Root) astringes Yin and harmonizes the Nutritive Qi (Ying Qi); Qianghuo, Duhuo, Fangfeng, and Chaihu dispel dampness and relieve pain (Qianghuo specifically relieves pain in all joints) and raise Clear Yang; Fuling (Poria) and Zexie (Alisma Rhizoma) drain damp-heat and descend Turbid Yin; a small amount of Huanglian retreats Deficient Fire (Yin Huo). This formula combines tonification with dispersion, and release with retention, ensuring that Qi becomes sufficient and Yang rises, so that Healthy Qi flourishes and Pathogenic factors submit.
(Li Dongyuan said: This treats Spleen and Stomach deficiency caused by Lung disease. Why use Renshen, Baizhu, and Baishao to tonify the Spleen when Metal (Lung) is prosperous in Autumn? Because Spleen and Stomach deficiency leads to Lung pathology; therefore, tonifying according to the season makes treatment more effective.)
(He also said: I suffered from chronic Spleen and Stomach decline. One day, my body felt heavy, limbs and joints were painful, stool was loose, and urination was obstructed. Reflecting on the *Neijing*: "For diseases below, promote their expulsion," meaning first promote diuresis. Also, for various diarrheas with difficult urination, one must first separate and drain. Treating dampness without promoting diuresis is incorrect; one should use bland-draining methods. Although the illness may resolve, this approach lowers repeatedly, benefiting Yin while further depleting Yang. Treatment should employ acrid-warm herbs to raise Yang, which is appropriate.)
(Qianghuo, Duhuo, Shengma, and Chaihu each 1 qian; Fangfeng and Zhi Gancao each 0.5 qian. Cured after one dose. The general principle is: For excess Cold-Damp, use Wind herbs to pacify it.)
(He also said: "For conditions sinking below, lift them up." This is the method of the Sages; knowing one case reveals a hundred.)
(Li Dongyuan also said: If a formula contains bland-draining herbs such as Zexie, Zhuling, Fuling, Mutong, and Dengcao, they follow the prosperous Qi of the season to drain external pathogens from the Spleen and Stomach and supplement the insufficiency of Metal (Lung) and Water (Kidney). However, if urination is already frequent and the Liver and Kidney are not affected by pathogens, using these drugs erroneously will severely drain True Yin, exhaust Kidney Water, and damage vision first.)
(He also said: The *Lingshu* states: "Diseases of the head are treated by points on the feet"; this is treating Yang diseases by taking from Yin. "Diseases of the feet are treated by points above"; this is treating Yin diseases by taking from Yang. "Diseases of the middle are treated by points on the sides"; the middle refers to the Spleen and Stomach, and the sides refer to the Shaoyang Gallbladder channel overcoming it. This is also a method of raising Yang and assisting the ascent of Clear Qi.)
