(From *Qianjin Fang*)
Treats deficiency-heat of the Liver and Kidney, with Wind-Dampness attacking internally, causing pain in the lower back and knees, cold Bi syndrome with weakness, and difficulty in flexion and extension. (The Kidney is the Water organ; when deficient, Cold-Damp Qi tends to gather there, hence the heaviness and pain in the lower back and knees. Cold Bi is caused by the predominance of Yin pathogenic factors. The Liver governs the sinews, and the Kidney governs the bones. As stated in the *Ling Shu*: "Able to flex but not to extend" indicates a disease of the sinews.)
Du Huo (Radix Angelicae Pubescentis), Sang Ji Sheng (Cacumen Taxilli) [If authentic product is unavailable, substitute with Xu Duan (Radix Dipsaci)], Qin Jiao (Radix Gentianae Macrophyllae), Fang Feng (Radix Saposhnikoviae), Xi Xin (Herba Asari), Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) [washed with wine], Shao Yao (Radix Paeoniae Lactiflorae) [stir-fried with wine].
This formula consists of herbs belonging to the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney Meridian and Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian. Du Huo and Xi Xin enter the Shaoyin meridian, unblocking the blood vessels; accompanied by Qin Jiao and Fang Feng to dissipate the meridians, raise Yang, and expel Wind; Sang Ji Sheng... [text fragment] ...pain.
By removing Du Huo and Sang Ji Sheng from this formula and adding Qiang Huo (Radix Notopterygii) and Xu Duan (Radix Dipsaci), it is named Qiang Huo Xu Duan Tang: treating the same conditions.
(From *Yi Xue Qi Yuan* / *Bao Jian*)
Treats pediatric convulsions triggered by fright, excessive phlegm, white sclera showing, epilepsy, and tendon spasms. (Children's Shen-Qi is still weak; fright causes the Shen to lack foundation, and further stirs up Liver Wind, Wind...)
Qiang Huo (5 qian), Du Huo (4 qian), Chen Xiang (Lignum Aquilariae Resinatum), Yi Zhi Ren (Fructus Alpiniae Oxyphyllae), Chuan Wu (Radix Aconiti Carmerhanii) (2 qian), Fu Zi (Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata), Tian Ma (Rhizoma Gastrodiae), Fang Feng (Radix Saposhnikoviae), Ban Xia (Rhizoma Pinelliae).
This formula belongs to the Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian. *Bao Jian* states: "Fear causes Qi to sink, Essence becomes timid, and the Upper Jiao becomes closed." Using the bitter-warm nature of Qiang Huo and Du Huo to guide Qi upward, and entering... Stomach Qi... to generate...
Treats stroke resulting in loss of consciousness and locked jaw (Wind agitates Fire, causing Phlegm-Saliva to surge upward and obstruct, hence loss of consciousness; Cold-Wind Qi lodges in the chest...)
Li Lu (Radix Veratri Albii), Gan Cao (Radix Glycyrrhizae Uralensis) [raw use], Xi Xin (Herba Asari), Ren Shen (Radix Ginseng), Chuan Xiong (Rhizoma Chuanxiong) (1 qian), Shi Gao (Gypsum Fibrosum) (5 qian). Pulverized into fine powder. Blow a dose of "one character" weight into the nasal cavity...
This formula consists of herbs belonging to the Hand-Taiyin Lung Meridian and Hand-Shaoyin Heart Meridian. Wu Hegao said: Stroke with loss of consciousness indicates an critical condition; mild medicines cannot open the obstruction, hence Li Lu is used. Combined with Ren Shen and Xi Xin, they utilize their contrary yet complementary actions (Li Lu is bitter-cold and toxic, induces vomiting upon entry, can reach the crown of the head, and induces sneezing; it is chemically incompatible with Ren Shen and Xi Xin; Xi Xin disperses Wind, opens orifices, warms the meridians, and breaks up Phlegm); The Lung dislikes rebellious Qi, hence heavy Shi Gao is used to descend the Qi. Qi is also Fire; Phlegm surges with Fire, hence cold-natured Shi Gao enters the Lung to clear Fire); Mild Gan Cao is used to moderate the action; The role of Chuan Xiong is merely to clear Qi and benefit the orifices. Chuan Xiong raises Clear Yang and opens various stagnations, serving as the envoy to circulate Yin-Yang and Blood-Qi. For all types of sudden stroke, corpse-like coma, and depression-dizziness, the exterior should be vented. Huan Hun Tang uses Ma Huang (Herba Ephedrae) and Gui Zhi (Ramulus Cinnamomi), Qing Hun Tang uses Jing Jie (Herba Schizonepetae), and using Zao Jiao (Fructus Gleditsiae Sinensis) and Ban Xia (Rhizoma Pinelliae) to induce sneezing via nasal irritation, Li Lu and Pi Shi (Arsenicum Rubrum) to extract phlegm by breaking teeth, are all methods to open the Three Jiao and allow exterior pathogens...
