Treats guest-heat (external pathogenic heat superimposed on deficiency) in consumptive diseases of men and women, characterized by five-palm heat (heat sensation in the palms, soles, and precordium), lassitude of the four limbs, cough with dry throat, spontaneous sweating, and poor appetite. Or there may be tidal fever in the late afternoon (The "five hearts" refer to the precordium, palms, and soles. The Spleen governs the four limbs; five-palm heat indicates Heart fire trapped within Spleen earth, requiring the uplifting of stagnant fire. Lassitude of the limbs indicates Spleen deficiency; cough indicates Lung fire; dry throat indicates insufficient Kidney water with ministerial fire flaming upward; spontaneous sweating indicates Yang deficiency; poor appetite indicates weak Spleen and Stomach).
Huangqi Decoction (Astragali Radix, honey-fried), Biejia (Testudinis Carapax et Plastrum, fried), Tiandong (Asparagi Radix, 5 qian each), Qinjiao (Gentianae Macrophyllae Radix), Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix), Digupi (Lycii Cortex), Fuling (Poria, 3 qian each), Sangbaipi (Mori Cortex), Ziwan (Asternis Radix), Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma), Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Shengdihuang (Rehmanniae Radix), Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, honey-fried, 3.5 qian), Renshen (Ginseng Radix), Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix), Rougui (Cinnamomi Cortex, 1.5 qian). For every liang of herbs, add fresh ginger and decoct. (This formula is derived from the previous one by removing Danggui and adding Huangqi, Fuling, Shengdihuang, Shaoyao, Tiandong, Zhimu, Sangbaipi, Jiegeng, and Rougui). Commentary: This formula acts on the Hand-Taiyin, Foot-Taiyin, and Foot-Shaoyang meridians. Biejia, Tiandong, Shaoyao, Shengdihuang, and Zhimu nourish Kidney water and drain Fire of the Lung and Liver to nourish Yin (Shengdihuang and Zhimu nourish Kidney water; Tiandong drains Lung fire; Biejia and Shaoyao drain Liver fire); Huangqi, Renshen, Rougui, Fuling, and Gancao secure Wei Qi (Defensive Qi) and tonify the deficiency of the Spleen and Lung to assist Yang; Sangbaipi and Jiegeng drain Lung heat; Banxia and Ziwan regulate phlegm and cough (Ziwan moistens the Lung and stops cough; Banxia transforms phlegm and benefits the throat; thus, in *Jingui Yaolue*, Banxia is used for treating throat obstruction and pain, as acrid flavors can both disperse and moisten); Qinjiao and Digupi dissipate internal heat and eliminate bone-steaming; Chaihu resolves muscle-layer heat and uplifts Yang. This is a formula that treats both exterior and interior, Qi and Blood simultaneously.
(Li Qianfu)
Treats wind-consumption causing bone-steaming tidal fever, high fever in the afternoon, cough, emaciation, flushed cheeks, night sweats, and a fine-rapid pulse (Wind is a Yang pathogen; when in the exterior, it causes exterior heat; internally, it manifests as deficient fire).
Biejia (Testudinis Carapax et Plastrum, 1 liang, fried), Qinjiao (Gentianae Macrophyllae Radix), Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, 5 qian), Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix), Digupi (Lycii Cortex, 1 liang), Wumei (Mume Fructus, one piece), Qinghao (Artemisiae Annuae Herba).
Commentary: This formula acts on the Foot-Shaoyang and Foot-Jueyin meridians. Wind generates heat, and heat generates wind; only Chaihu and Qinjiao can drive out wind pathogens and expel them outward; Turtle belongs to the Yin category; using its carapace implies penetrating into the bones; Wumei is sour and astringent, capable of guiding other herbs into the bones to consolidate and clear heat; Qinghao is bitter and cold, capable of entering the muscles along with other herbs to resolve bone-steaming (Chaihu and Qinghao both resonate with the generating Qi of the Shaoyang; generally, bitter-cold herbs damage the Spleen and Stomach, but Qinghao has a fragrant aroma entering the Spleen, making it uniquely suitable for those with blood deficiency and heat); Zhimu nourishes Yin, Danggui harmonizes Blood, Digupi disperses exterior pathogens while clearing interior heat, and it is also a premier herb for stopping sweating and eliminating bone-steaming. Digupi removes heat associated with sweating...
