Source: The disease of Hongjiao (a condition characterized by swelling, pain, numbness, or atrophy of the feet), if complicated by Wind-Toxin, causes the Toxin to clash with the sinews, leading to sinew contraction; when Damp-Wind invades the blood, it causes Bi-syndrome. Thus, Bi and contraction occur.
(From Volume XIII)
Qianjin Shihu Jiu (Dendrobium Wine from the Essential Prescriptions of a Thousand Gold Pieces), a formula for treating deficiency of Wind causing Qi fullness, cold Bi-pain in the legs, and weakness/contraction preventing walking.
Shihu (Dendrobii Caulis, five liang) Danshen (Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, five liang) Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix, two liang) Cizi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata, four liang) Guixin (Cinnamomi Cortex, three liang) Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, three liang) Qianghuo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix, three liang) Qinjiao (Gentianae Macrophyllae Radix, four liang) Xiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma, three liang) Duzhong (Eucommiae Cortex, four liang) Yiyiren (Coicis Semen, one sheng, crushed) Wujia Genpi (Acanthopanacis Cortex, five liang) Shanzhuyu (Corni Fructus, four liang) Juapi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, three liang) Jiao (Zanthoxyli Pericarpium, three liang) Huangqi (Astragali Radix, three liang) Baiqian (Cynanchi Stauntonii Rhizoma, three liang) Yinyu (Skimmiae Japonicae Folium, three liang) Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, three liang) Niuxi (Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix, four liang) Zhongru (Gypsum Fibrosum, eight liang)
Cut the above twenty-one ingredients. Crush the Gypsum Fibrosum, place it separately in a silk bag, and tie it inside the large medicine bag. Soak in four dou of clear wine for three days. Initial dose is three ge, twice daily, gradually increasing until efficacy is achieved. Avoid pork, cold water, and raw green onions. (From Volume VII)
Qianjin Yi Fangji Tang (Pseudostellaria Decoction from Wing of Qianjin), indicated for Bi-pain in the four limbs due to Wind-Damp, accompanied by stiffness and edema.

Take the above nine ingredients. Add twelve sheng of water, boil Mahuang first until reduced by one sheng, then add other herbs. Boil to obtain three sheng of decoction. Divide into three doses. After administration, induce slight sweating covering the whole body, then apply powder. Beware of Wind and Cold. (From Volume XVI)
(The following five sections on Feng Piangu include treatments for similar conditions such as Hongjiao Wind-Toxin.)
Source: Feng Piangu (Hemiplegia) arises from deficiency of Qi and Blood in one side, causing the Couli (pores and interstices) to open, allowing Wind-Damp to invade. When Wind-Damp lodges in half of the body between the muscles and interstices, it causes Qi and Blood to stagnate and flow sluggishly, failing to nourish the tissues. If not cured for a long time, vital Qi departs while pathogenic factors remain alone, resulting in Piangu. Symptoms include inability to move one half of the body, wasting and shrinking of muscles on that side, and localized small pains.
This condition is often caused by sorrow and worry. Treatments involving herbal compresses (Tangwu) and acupuncture/moxibustion (Zhenshi) have separate specific formulas, along with tonifying and guiding exercises, which are attached below. The Health Preservation Guide states: "Stand upright leaning against a wall, hold breath and circulate Qi from head to foot, stopping there. This cures ulcers, hernias, severe wind diseases, hemiplegia, and various Wind-Bi syndromes."
It also says: "Lie supine and raise both big toes, hold for five breaths, then stop. This guides away Bi-stiffness and hemiplegia of the waist and back, improving hearing and vision, keeping the sensory orifices unobstructed."
It further says: "Stand upright leaning against a wall, hold breath and circulate Qi, inhaling through the mouth until Qi reaches the head, then stop. This treats ulcers, Bi-stiffness, severe wind, and hemiplegia."
It also says: "Place one foot flat on the ground without moving, turn the body tilting the other foot sideways. Rapidly rotate hands left and right alternately fourteen times (two sets of seven). This removes Wind-Cold from the spine and unblocks hemiplegia." (From Volume I)
Shen Shi Da Ba Feng Tang (Great Eight Winds Decoction by Master Shen), for treating toxic Wind-Damp Bi causing traction/pain, or inability to move hands and feet, hemiplegia, weakness intolerable to toxins, or Wind invading the Five Zang organs causing恍惚 (trance/confusion), poor appetite, and mental deficiency.
Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, two and a half liang) Shengma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma, one and a half liang) Wutou (Aconiti Radix, two liang, processed) Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, two liang) Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, two liang) Yuanzhi (Polygalae Radix, two liang, heart removed) Duhuo (Angelicae Pubescentis Radix, two liang) Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, two and a half liang) Qinjiao (Gentianae Macrophyllae Radix, two liang) Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, two liang, fried with beef juice) Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum, forty seeds) Renshen (Ginseng Radix, two liang) Fuling (Poria, two liang) Huangqi (Astragali Radix, two liang) Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum, two liang, crushed)
Chop the above herbs. Combine with thirteen sheng of water and two sheng of wine. Boil to obtain four sheng. Strong individuals divide into four doses; weak individuals divide into five or six doses. (Same as Qianjin Yi Fang, From Volume IX)
Gu Jin Lu Yan Xiang Chi San (Fragrant Fermented Soybean Powder from Ancient and Modern Verified Prescriptions), for treating thirty-year history of Wind-Bi and hemiplegia preventing walking.
Shengdihuang (Rehmanniae Radix Recens, thirty jin) Xiangchi (Sojae Semen Preparatum, three sheng, wrapped in silk)
Wash and chop the Rehmanniae Radix Recens. Steam for half a day, then dry in the sun. Combine with Sojae Semen Preparatum, steam for another half day, then dry completely. Crush and sift. Take three fang cun bi (square-inch spoonfuls) with wine, three times daily. Can also be taken with water. It benefits essence and spirit/Qi. Remarkable effects are seen after several months of use.
