Gu Jin Lu Yan Yang Du Tang (Ancient Records Verified Yang Toxin Decoction) treats Taiyang disease (disease of the Taiyang channel) that develops into Yang Toxin within one or two days, or transforms into Yang Toxin after medication-induced vomiting or purging. Symptoms include heavy body, pain in the waist and back, restlessness and uneasiness, delirious speech or running around, hallucinations of spirits or ghosts, hematemesis (vomiting blood), or diarrhea. The pulse is floating, large, and rapid; the face is red with mottled spots like brocade patterns; sore throat; and expectoration of pus and blood.
Shengma (Rhizoma Cimicifugae, 2 fen) Danggui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis, 2 fen) Shujiao (Fructus Zanthoxyli, perspired, 1 fen) Xionghuang (Realgar, pulverized) Zhizi (Fructus Gardeniae, 1 fen) Guixin (Cortex Cinnamomi, 1 fen) Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae, roasted, 2 fen) Biejia (Carapax et Plastrum Testudinis, one piece as large as a hand, roasted)
The above eight herbs are cut, boiled in five sheng of water to obtain two and a half sheng, divided into three doses. After the time it takes a person to walk five li, administer the second dose. Cover the hands and feet warmly; when the toxin is expelled through sweating, the condition resolves. If unresolved, prepare and administer again. Inducing vomiting is also considered beneficial. For Yin Toxin, remove Xionghuang. (Zhang Zhongjing's formula does not contain Zhizi or Guixin; for Yin Toxin, remove Xionghuang and Shujiao.)
Also, Yin Du Tang (Yin Toxin Decoction) treats Taiyang disease where Yin Toxin forms within one or two days of onset, or transforms into Yin Toxin after taking herbal decoctions for six to ten days. Symptoms include heavy body, stiff back, colicky abdominal pain, dysphagia or throat obstruction, toxic qi attacking the heart, hardness below the heart, shortness of breath, regurgitation, cyanotic lips, blackened complexion, cold limbs, and a deep, fine, tight, and rapid pulse. (Another version omits "rapid".) Zhang Zhongjing states: This is the presentation of Yin Toxin; the body feels as if beaten. It can be treated within five to six days, but treatment is futile after seven days. One should administer Gancao Tang (Licorice Decoction).
Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae, roasted) Shengma (Rhizoma Cimicifugae) Danggui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis, each 2 fen) Shujiao (Fructus Zanthoxyli, perspired, 1 fen) Biejia (Carapax et Plastrum Testudinis, one piece as large as a hand, roasted)
The above five herbs are cut, boiled in five sheng of water to obtain two and a half sheng, divided into two doses. Administer again after the time it takes a person to walk five li. Cover warmly to induce sweating; recovery occurs upon sweating. If sweating does not occur, the condition remains unresolved, so re-administer to induce sweating. Avoid seaweed, Brassica vegetables, and Amaranth. (Same as Qianjin, Jiyan, Beijij, Wenzhong, Duanju, and Zhouhou, found in Volume II.)
Also, Huanhun Wan (Soul-Returning Pill) treats Taiyang disease after four or five days, as well as various chronic accumulations and hard masses in the epigastrium persisting for years, indigestion, dizziness, limb pain, throat obstruction, high fever, rebellious fullness of the spleen and stomach, borborygmus, tension in the hypochondrium, pathogenic factors of Feishi (Flying Corpse) or Guizhu (Ghost Stabbing), emaciation and back pain due to fright, numbness of hands and feet, bitter taste in the mouth, dry tongue, periodic exacerbation of epidemic diseases, inability of Fengwen (Wind-Warmth) to linger, and expulsion of foul fluids.
Badou (Fructus Crotonis Tiglii, dehearted and peeled, roasted) Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae, roasted) Zhusha (Cinnabar) Shaoyao (Radix Paeoniae Alba, each 2 liang) Maimendong (Radix Ophiopogonis, 2 liang, dehearted)
The above five herbs are individually pounded and sifted, mixed, and kneaded with honey for three thousand beats. Form pills the size of Sophora seeds. Take two pills per dose, washed down with Scallion and Jujube Decoction. For children over two years old, take two pills the size of sesame seeds, twice daily. Avoid seaweed, Brassica vegetables, wild boar meat, Asparagus fern, and raw blood products. (Found in Volume III.)
Also, Mainu Wan (Wheat Mildew Pill) treats Taiyang disease unresolved after five or six days, with heat in the chest, trismus (lockjaw) preventing speech, only desiring to drink water. This addresses failed Taiyang disease cases unmanageable by physicians.
Mahuang (Herba Ephedrae, nodes removed) Dahuang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei) Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas) Zaotu Zhongmo (Soot from the chimney flue) Huangqin (Radix Scutellariae, each 2 fen) Mainu (Mildew on young wheat spikes) Liangshangchen (Dust from roof beams) Fudi Mo (Soot from the bottom of the cauldron, each 1 fen)
The above eight herbs are pounded and sifted, kneaded with honey into pills the size of quail eggs. Grind one pill in five he of fresh well water. When the patient is thirsty and desires water, allow them to drink cold water freely without limit. Shortly thereafter, they will feel cold; after the cold sensation subsides, sweating occurs, indicating recovery. If no sweat occurs after the sun has moved five zhang, administer another pill according to the previous method. Stop when mild diarrhea occurs. Eat only after the medicinal effect has passed; consume cold food to dissipate the drug's potency. Also known as Heinu Wan (Black Slave Pill); Mainu refers to the black mildew on wheat spikes. (Same as Zhouhou, Huqian, Duanju, Shanfan, Zhang Wenzhong, Shenshi, Fan Wang, Jingxinlu, and Guangji.)
Also, Jieji Tang (Muscle-Releasing Decoction) treats Taiyang disease with fever and body pain.
Gegen (Radix Puerariae Lobatae, 4 liang) Mahuang (Herba Ephedrae, nodes removed) Fuling (Poria, each 3 liang) Muli (Concha Ostreae, roasted, 2 liang)
The above four herbs are cut, boiled in eight sheng of water to obtain three sheng, divided into three doses. Administer slowly; stop once sweating and free flow are achieved. Avoid vinegar and sour foods. (Qianjin includes Shengjiang and Gancao.)
Also, Tiaozhong Tang (Middle-Regulating Decoction) treats sudden exposure to cold during summer or early autumn, which suppresses intense heat. Heat binds in the limbs, causing high fever and headache; cold injures the stomach, causing dysentery, which may be bloody, watery, or bloody discharge. High fever accompanied by oppression, with a faint and rapid pulse, indicates suitability for purgation.
Dahuang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei) Gegen (Radix Puerariae Lobatae) Huangqin (Radix Scutellariae) Shaoyao (Radix Paeoniae Alba) Jiegeng (Radix Platycodonis) Fuling (Poria) Bencao (Radix Ligustici Chuanxiong) Baizhu (Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae) Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae, roasted, each 2 liang)
The above nine herbs are boiled in nine sheng of water to obtain three sheng, divided into three doses. Allow two meal intervals between doses; do not interrupt with food. Aim for a brisk purgation; high fever ceases, and dysentery stops. Generally, in autumn and summer, if early heat persists for days and is suddenly suppressed by cold, the heat has nowhere to dissipate and tends to bind in the muscles, generating high fever. The stomach, being the head of the six fu organs, is most susceptible to injury. Without sudden cold injury leading to dysentery, individuals with deficiency-cold present only with dysentery or cholera-like symptoms. Individuals with slight excess who have taken Five-Mineral Powder often desire high fever; if this matches the purgative action of the medicine, adding heat may lead to death from oppression. If purgation fails, it may result in obstructive heat-toxin; severe persistent high fever worsens the condition. Therefore, Tiaozhong Tang is suitable to purge and harmonize stomach qi. For exterior heat, Qianhu and Dahuang should be used for purgation. Avoid seaweed, Brassica vegetables, pork, vinegar, plums, peaches, and sparrow meat.
Also, Tao Ren Cheng Qi Tang (Peach Kernel Draining the Epigastrium Decoction) treats alternating chills and fever, and rebellious fullness in the chest and hypochondrium.
Dahuang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, 4 liang, soaked separately) Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae, roasted) Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas, added when decoction is ready) Guixin (Cortex Cinnamomi, each 2 liang) Tao Ren (Semen Persicae, 50 seeds, peeled, de-pitted, crushed)
The above five herbs are boiled in seven sheng of water to obtain two and a half sheng. Strain, add Mangxiao, boil for one or two more boils. Take warm, divided into three doses. Avoid seaweed and Brassica vegetables. (Same as Taiyi Jiaowei Shi Tuo, Zhouhou, Shanghan Lun, and Qianjin Yi, found in Volume II.)
