The *Huangdi Neijing* (Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon) states: "When turbid Qi remains in the upper part, distension occurs." This is a condition of Yin-Yang reversal and pathological deviation. Clear Yang ascends to form Heaven, while Turbid Yin descends to form Earth; the two should not interfere with each other. Now, because Turbid Qi remains in the upper part due to interference by Yin Qi, the Clear Yang Qi becomes stagnant and fails to disperse. Consequently, there is a sensation of blockage, abdominal distension, and a constant feeling of fullness as if one has just eaten.
**Wuzhuyu Tang Formula** for treating cold generated by excessive Yin Qi leading to abdominal fullness and distension.
Ingredients: Evodiae Fructus (Wuzhuyu, soaked in decoction, dried, and stir-fried), Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex (Houpo, coarse bark removed, stir-fried with ginger juice), Cinnamomi Ramulus (Guizhi, coarse bark removed), Zingiberis Rhizoma Preparatum (Ganjiang, processed), each 2 liang; Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (Baizhu). [Note: The original text mentions "eight flavors" but lists fewer explicitly or has textual gaps; translation follows the visible text].
These eight ingredients are chopped like hemp seeds. Each dose consists of 4 qianbi (approx. 10-15g depending on era/measure), boiled in 1.5 zhan (approx. 300ml) of water with 3 slices of fresh Ginger (Shengjiang) until reduced to 0.7 portion. Strain and take warm, three times daily.
**Jiegeng Wan Pill** for treating abdominal fullness and distension caused by deficiency-cold Qi, inability to eat, indigestion even after eating, vomiting and regurgitation, subjective abdominal fullness, borborygmus (rumbling in the abdomen), and flatus.
