凡脾胃(此方本主脾肺,脾运则阳明之气上达而胃开,然不得肺药之力,则不能亲上也。)喜甘而恶苦,喜补

原为感证中有内伤一种,故立此方,以补伤寒书之所未及,非补虚方也。今感证家多不敢用,而以为调理补虚服食
之药,则谬矣。调理补虚,乃通其义而转用者耳。)

Perilla Stem and Leaf (San Liang, approx. 90g) Pinellia Rhizoma Preparatum (Banxia, processed), Zhi Ke (processed, each Yi Liang Ban, approx. 45g), Qing Pi (deprived of albedo), Chen Ju Hong (aged tangerine peel), Da Fu Pi, Sang Bai Pi (chao, stir-fried), Mu Tong (deprived of nodes), Chi Fu Ling (red poria), Nan Mu Xiang, Arecae Semen, Curcuma Zedoaria Rhizoma (wei, baked), Ophiopogonis Radix (deprived of heart), Platycodonis Radix, La Gui (Cinnamomi Ramulus), Xiang Fu, Huo Xiang (each Yi Liang, approx. 30g), Gan Cao (zhi, roasted, Yi Liang Er Qian Ban, approx. 42.5g). The above are cut into pieces to make a powder. Each dose is San Qian (approx. 9g), decocted with Yi Da Zhan (approx. 200ml) of water, Sheng Jiang (three slices), Zao (two fruits), Deng Xin Cao (ten stems), until reduced to seven parts. Take at any time.
Huang Qi (Yi Qian, approx. 3g), Dang Gui, Ren Shen, Zhi Gan Cao, Chen Pi, Sheng Ma, Chai Hu, Bai Zhu. This formula was created by Dong Yuan (Li Dongyuan). Originally, only Huang Qi was used in the amount of Yi Qian, and the rest were each Fen San (approx. 1g). Xue Lizhai commonly used Ren Shen and Huang Qi each as Qian Ban (approx. 4.5g), Bai Zhu as Yi Qian (approx. 3g), Dang Gui as Yi Qian (approx. 3g), Chen Pi as Qi Fen (approx. 2.1g), Sheng Ma and Chai Hu each as Wu Fen (approx. 1.5g). (Dong Yuan took advantage of the clear and light ascending nature of the herbs, hence the small dosage. Lizhai often used it to rescue critical conditions, thus increasing the dosage according to the syndrome, but also adjusting the weight based on the main indication.) Advancing and retreating with additions and subtractions yields infinite divine efficacy. If the disease is severe, Ren Shen and Huang Qi may be increased to San Qian or Wu Qian, added according to the syndrome.
Generally, Spleen and Stomach (this formula originally governs Spleen and Lung; when Spleen transports normally, Yangming Qi ascends and Stomach opens, yet without the power of Lung herbs, it cannot reach the upper part closely.) prefers sweet and dislikes bitter, prefers tonification and dislikes attack, prefers warm and dislikes cold, prefers unobstructed flow and dislikes stagnation, prefers ascending and dislikes descending, prefers dryness and dislikes dampness. This formula aligns with these characteristics. (Dong Yuan's formula was originally established for internal injury within exogenous pathogen syndromes, thus creating this formula to supplement what Shang Han books did not cover; it is not merely a deficiency-tonifying formula. Nowadays, practitioners treating exogenous syndromes often dare not use it, regarding it as a medicine for conditioning and tonifying deficiency, which is erroneous. Conditioning and tonifying deficiency is merely a derived application after understanding its principles.)
Bai Dou Kou Ren, Ding Xiang, Tan Xiang, Mu Xiang (each Er Liang, approx. 60g), Huo Xiang Ye, Zhi Gan Cao (each Ba Liang, approx. 240g), Su Sha Ren (Si Liang, approx. 120g). The above are ground into fine powder. Each dose is Er Qian (approx. 6g), add a little salt, and take with boiling water at any time.
