心,从心补脾,乃隔二之治也。(脾气虚寒,不能运血归经,故用参、蓍、术、草以补脾,又用木香行之,
气虚则易散,故用枣仁以敛肝血,不归经则心失所养而不宁,故用圆眼肉、茯神以补心。)高鼓峰谓∶木香
本以嘘血归经,然香燥反动肝火而干津液,故每去之,而加白芍以追已散之真阴。
且白术燥烈,肺中有火者,恐助咳嗽,得芍佐之,则术止为养荣之用,而不上僭。
惟脾虚泄泻者,方留木香以醒脾,甚有理。

Ginseng Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome (soil-stir-fried) Poria with Hostwood Spiny Ziziphus Seed (stir-fried) Longan Aril (each 2 qian) Astragalus Root (honey-fried, 1.5 qian) Costus Root Honey-fried Licorice Root (each 5 fen) Decoct with Ginger and Jujube. This is the original formula of Yan Yonghe. Xue Lizhai added Polygala Root and Angelica Sinensis Root, each 1 qian, to treat Blood deficiency, tonifying Heart from Liver, and Spleen from Heart, which is the "treating two organs apart" method. (Spleen Qi deficiency and cold, unable to transport Blood back into meridians, thus using Ginseng, Astragalus, Atractylodes, and Licorice to tonify Spleen, and further using Costus Root to move Qi; since Qi deficiency tends to scatter, Spiny Ziziphus Seed is used to astringe Liver Blood; if Blood does not return to meridians, Heart loses nourishment and becomes restless, thus Longan Aril and Poria with Hostwood are used to tonify Heart.) Gao Gugeng stated: Costus Root is originally used to guide Blood back into meridians, but its aromatic dryness may stir Liver Fire and damage Body Fluids, so it is often removed, and White Peony Root is added to retrieve lost True Yin. Moreover, Atractylodes is drying and harsh; for those with Fire in the Lungs, it may aggravate coughing. With the assistance of White Peony, Atractylodes only serves to nourish Ying (Nutritive) Qi without causing upward rebellion. Only in cases of Spleen deficiency with diarrhea is Costus Root retained to awaken the Spleen, which is quite reasonable.
