Pathogenesis: The so-called "Liu Yin" (Retention of Fluids) arises from drinking a large amount of water after consuming alcohol. This causes fluid qi to stagnate between the chest and diaphragm without dispersing, leading to symptoms such as pain in the hypochondrium, shortness of breath, and thirst. These are all characteristic signs. (From Volume 20)
Fan Wang's Hai Zao Wan (Algae Pill), a formula for treating retention of fluids in the abdomen.
Hai Zao (Sargassum Herba), Mu Fang Ji (Stephaniae Tetrandrae Radix), Gan Sui (Kansui Radix), Cong Rong (Cistanche Herba), Shu Jiao (Zanthoxyli Pericarpium [de-sweated]), Yuan Hua (Genkwa Flos [roasted]), Ting Li Zi (Descurainiae Semen [roasted], each 1 liang).
The above seven ingredients are pounded and sifted, then mixed with honey to form pills the size of wutong seeds. Take 10 pills per dose; if not cured, increase the dosage. (From Volume 16)
Qian Jin Fang treats patients with a submerged pulse (Mai Fu), who desire spontaneous diarrhea. Diarrhea brings relief, yet the epigastrium remains persistently hard and full despite the evacuation. This indicates that Liu Yin is attempting to exit. The governing formula is Gan Sui Ban Xia Tang (Kansui and Pinellia Decoction).
Gan Sui (3 large pieces), Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma [12 pieces]), Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix Alba [1 liang]), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma [1 piece the size of a finger, roasted]).
The above four ingredients are decocted with half a sheng of honey added to the medicinal juice, combined with honey to make one sheng total. Decoct until 8 da he remain, and take in one dose. Avoid Hai Zao, Song Cai (Brassica pekinensis), mutton, and Yi Tang (Maltose).
(This formula originally comes from Zhang Zhongjing's Shanghan Lun, From Volume 18)
Pathogenesis: The so-called "Jiu Pi" (Alcohol-induced Mass) occurs when excessive drinking leads to uncontrolled consumption of water due to thirst. Both wine and water fail to disperse, stagnating under the hypochondriac region, condensing into a mass that causes intermittent pain, hence named Jiu Pi. Its presentation includes tension and pain in the hypochondrium. (From Volume 27)
Shen Shi Xiao Yin Wan (Deep Master's Pill for Dissolving Retention), a formula for treating Jiu Pi, as well as unresolved phlegm-fluid retention after drinking, fullness and rebellious qi with vomiting, blurred vision, deafness, and borborygmus in the abdomen.
Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), Fu Ling (Poria [each 3 liang]), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma [8 liang]), Zhi Shi (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus [4 pieces, roasted]).
The above four ingredients are pounded and sifted, mixed with honey to form pills the size of wutong seeds. Take 5 pills per dose, three times daily, gradually increasing the dosage. If Zhi Shi is omitted and Gan Jiang increased by 2 liang, it is named Wu Yin Wan (Five Retentions Pill). Avoid plums, peaches, sparrow meat, strong vinegar, and raw/cold foods. This formula is highly effective.
Another formula, Bei Zhu Wan (Increased Atractylodes Pill), for treating Wu Yin (Five Retentions) and Jiu Pi.
Bai Zhu (1 jin), Gui Xin (Cinnamomi Ramulus Cortex), Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma [each half jin]).
The above three ingredients are pounded and sifted, mixed with honey to form pills the size of wutong seeds. Take 10 pills with warm water, gradually increasing the dosage. Take before meals, twice daily. Avoid plums, peaches, sparrow meat, and raw scallions.
Another formula, Wen Pi Wan (Warm the Spleen Pill), for treating chronic cold, retained food, and Jiu Pi.
Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma [3 liang, stir-fried]), Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix Alba [3 liang]), Shu Jiao (Zanthoxyli Pericarpium [2 liang, de-sweated]), Xiao Cao (Consolidae Herba [1 liang, dried by roasting]), Xiong Qiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Fu Ling (Poria), Tao Ren (Persicae Semen [skin and tip removed]), Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix [dried by roasting, each 3 liang]), Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma [8 liang, cut and roasted until yellow-black]).
