Poria (Fuling), Dried Ginger (Ganjiang) (each 5 qian); Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome (Baizhu) (2.5 qian); Licorice Root (Gancao) (1 qian, honey-fried).

It may also be caused by overwork injuring the Kidneys, sleeping on damp ground causing damage, or wind-cold pathogens lodging and attacking, all leading to lumbar pain.
Clematis Root (Weilingxian), Cinnamon Bark (Guixin), Angelica Sinensis Root (Danggui) (each 2 liang).
Grind into fine powder. Use wine-boiled wheat paste to form pills, sized like sophora seeds. Take 20–30 pills per dose before meals, delivered with warm wine, or with fennel tea. For women, deliver with cinnamon bark decoction.
