Zhi Shiyin (Fluorite, ten taels) Bai Shiyin (White Fluorite, ten taels) Baishi Zhi (Kaolin, thirty taels) Chishi Zhi (Red Kaolin, thirty taels) Ganjiang (Dried Ginger, thirty taels)
The above five herbs are crushed into complete granules. Take one tael each from the two types of fluorite, and three taels each from the three types of kaolin. Add three sheng of water and decoct over mild heat. Do not eat the night before. Divide the decoction into four doses: take three times during the day and once at night. Eat only after noon. Every day, weigh out yesterday's remaining herbs according to the previous method, add new herbs, and decoct together until the herbs are exhausted. The amount of water added should always be ten times the weight of the herbs. After the new herbs are finished, continuously add water. Strain the dregs and drink. Continue this for forty days. Avoid alcohol and meat. Use large sheng measures for weighing both the herbs and the liquid. Walk immediately after taking the decoction; do not sit or lie down. Ensure the medicinal power permeates the whole body and flows through the hundred vessels. For those with severe cold constitution, take for forty-nine days in spring and autumn respectively. Take until the disease is completely resolved; ensure the decoction is clear before consumption.
Commentary: This decoction tonifies deficiency and dispels entrenched cold better than any other. If used easily as if turning a palm, scholars might consider it an ordinary formula and despise it. If cured after one dose, stop. If excessive intake causes great heat, administer cooling herbs to suppress it. Use with caution.
