It is stated in the discussion: The *Neijing* (Classic of Internal Medicine) mentions that when the Huang pulse (Spleen pulse) arrives, it appears large and empty. There is accumulated qi in the abdomen accompanied by Jue qi (rebellious cold qi), a condition named Jue Shan (Jue Hernia). Women are subject to the same pathological mechanism. This disease often arises from exerting the limbs hastily after illness while sweating and exposing oneself to wind. "Shan" refers to a hidden disease, implying that the lesion is concealed and difficult to detect; its nature is Yin, sinking and latent within. Currently, due to Spleen deficiency, Wind-Cold pathogens lodge between the abdominal membranes. They fail to transport and transform the Qi of water and grain together with the Stomach, leading to the knotting of Qi into an accumulation. This causes the Qi pathway to become rebellious and painful, hence it is called Jue Shan.
For treating Jue Shan characterized by Yin-cold pain in the abdomen and rebellious upward movement of accumulated qi, use Wuzhuyu Tang (Evodia Decoction):
Wuzhuyu (Evodiae Fructus, washed with decoction, dried, stir-fried, 2 liang); Wutou (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, processed until cracked, peel removed, umbilical scar removed); Xixin (Asari Radix, remove seedlings and leaves, each 3 fen); Gaoliangjiang (Alpiniae Officinarum Rhizoma, chopped, stir-fried).
The above seven ingredients are chopped to the size of hemp seeds. Each dose consists of 5 qianbi (approx. 15-20g depending on era measurement, literally "five coin-sized scoops"). Boil with 2 zhan (approx. 400ml) of water until 1 zhan remains. Strain and take warm. Twice daily.
For treating Jue Shan where qi attacks upward causing intermittent abdominal pain without fixed timing, use Xiang Wan (Xiang Pill):
Xiangzi (Litseae Fructus, stir-fried); Wuzhuyu (Evodiae Fructus, washed with decoction, dried, stir-fried); Gui (Cinnamomi Ramulus, remove rough bark); Hujiao (Piperis Longi Fructus); Lianshi (Meliae Fructus, chopped, stir-fried with bran); Yanhusuo (Corydalis Rhizoma, each 1 fen).
The above twelve ingredients are pounded and sieved into fine powder. Mix with paste made from flour boiled in wine to form pills, sized like paulownia seeds. Take 10 pills per dose, administered with salted wine before meals.
For treating Jue Shan where qi rushes upward causing cold pain in the heart and abdomen, use Shanzhuyu Wan (Cornus Pill):
Shanzhuyu (Corni Fructus); Wuzhuyu (Evodiae Fructus, washed with decoction, dried, stir-fried); Shizhuyu (Zanthoxyli Fructus); Lianshi (Meliae Fructus, chopped, stir-fried with bran); Malinhua (Iridis Flos); Xiangzi (Litseae Fructus, stir-fried); Qingju (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, half liang requires processing).
The above eleven ingredients are pounded and sieved into fine powder. Mix with paste made from flour boiled in vinegar to form pills, sized like paulownia seeds. Take 20 pills per dose, administered with wine or salted water on an empty stomach.

Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, cut, dried); Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, processed); Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, processed until cracked, peel removed, umbilical scar removed); Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma); Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, honey-fried, chopped); Xixin (Asari Radix, remove seedlings and leaves); Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba).
The above seven ingredients are chopped to the size of hemp seeds. Each dose consists of 3 qianbi. Boil with 1 zhan of water until 7/10 remains. Strain and take warm at any time.
