附子（三钱） 肉桂（一钱） 干姜（一钱） 白术（五钱） 人参（一两）
水煎服，急救之。此乃真中寒邪，肾火避出躯壳之外而阳邪之气直犯心宫，心君不守，
肝气
多加？盖元气飞越，只一线之气未绝，纯用桂附干姜一派辛辣之药，邪虽外逐而正气垂绝，
若不多加参术，何以反正气于若存若亡之际哉？
如人手足冰冷，或发厥逆，或身战畏寒，人以为寒，而非寒也，内真热而外假寒耳。方
用∶
附子（一钱） 肉桂（一钱） 人参（三钱） 白术（五钱） 猪胆汁（半个） 苦菜
汁（三匙）
先将水二碗煎药，熟后以药并器，放水中激凉，〔再〕入胆汁，菜汁调匀，一气服之。
方中全是热药，倘服不如法，必然虚火上冲，尽行呕出。必热药凉服，已足而顺其性，
而（况）下行又有二汁之苦，以骗其假道之防也哉。
上焦火势之盛，吐痰如涌泉，面赤喉痛，上身不欲盖衣，而下体冰凉，此上假热而下真
寒也
附子（一个） 熟地（半斤） 山萸（四两） 麦冬（一两） 北五味（一两） 茯苓
（三两） 泽泻（三两） 丹皮（三两） 肉桂（一两）
水十碗，煎〔至〕四〔三〕碗，探凉与病患服之。〔渣再用水三碗，煎至一碗，一气服
之〕，二剂四碗服尽，立刻安静。此上病治下之一法也，最效。
Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, 3 qian), Rougui (Cinnamomi Cortex, 1 qian), Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, 1 qian), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, 5 qian), Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, 1 liang).
Decoct in water and take for emergency rescue. This is true Cold Evil invading the interior; Kidney Fire is forced out of the body shell, and Yang Evil Qi directly attacks the Heart Palace, causing the Heart Sovereign to lose its guard. Why increase the dosage? Because Yuan Qi (Original Qi) has flown away and scattered, with only a thread of Qi remaining unextinguished. If purely using spicy-hot herbs like Cinnamon Twig, Prepared Aconite Root, and Dried Ginger are used, although the evil may be expelled outward, the righteous Qi will nearly perish. Without adding more Ginseng and Atractylodes, how can one restore the righteous Qi when it is on the verge of existence and non-existence?
If a person's hands and feet are cold, or they experience Jue Ni (Reversal Cold/Convulsions), or their body trembles with fear of cold, people assume it is Cold, but it is not Cold; rather, it is True Heat inside and False Cold outside. The formula uses:
Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root, 1 qian), Rougui (Cinnamon Twig, 1 qian), Renshen (Ginseng, 3 qian), Baizhu (Atractylodes, 5 qian), Zhu Danzhi (Porcine Bile, half), Kucai Zhi (Juice of Bitter Vegetable, 3 spoons).
First, decoct the medicine in two bowls of water. After cooking, place the medicine and vessel into water to cool them rapidly, [then] add bile juice and vegetable juice, mix evenly, and take in one go.
The formula contains entirely hot-natured medicines. If taken improperly, it will inevitably cause Deficient Fire to rush upward, resulting in complete vomiting. One must take the hot medicine cooled down; this already follows its nature, and moreover, the bitterness of the two juices descending further serves to deceive the defensive mechanisms along the false path.
Excessive Fire in the Upper Jiao causes spitting of phlegm like a gushing spring, red face, sore throat, and an unwillingness to cover the upper body with clothes, while the lower body is ice-cold. This is False Heat above and True Cold below.
Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root, one piece), Shudi (Prepared Rehmannia Root, half jin), Shanzhuyu (Cornus Officinalis Fruit, four liang), Maidong (Ophiopogon Tuber, one liang), Bei Wuweizi (Schisandra Berry, one liang), Fuling (Poria, three liang), Zexie (Alisma Rhizome, three liang), Danpi (Moutan Bark, three liang), Rougui (Cinnamon Twig, one liang).
Decoct in ten bowls of water until reduced to four [or three] bowls. Cool and administer to the patient. [Take the dregs, add three bowls of water, decoct until one bowl remains, and take in one go]. Finish four bowls across two doses, and immediate calmness ensues. This is one method of treating upper diseases by addressing the lower part, and it is most effective.
