Kaoyu Zhengyuan San (Depression-Opening Original Decoction)
The general formula for treating accumulations and masses is Zhengyuan San, composed of Poria (Fuling), Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (Baizhu), Tangerine Peel (Qingpi), Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium (Chenpi), Medicated Leaven (Shenqu), Hordeum Germinatum (Maiya), Corydalis Rhizoma (Yanhusuo), Cyperi Rhizoma (Xiangfu), Amomi Fructus (Sharen), Tintinnitum (Haifen), Crataegi Fructus (Shanzha), Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao), and Platycodonis Radix (Jiegeng). It is used to treat phlegm-fluid retention, food stagnation, and qi-blood conglomeration.
[Note] The five accumulations and six masses are formed by the conglomeration of phlegm-fluid retention, food stagnation, and qi-blood. The general Kaoyu Zhengyuan San consists of Poria (Fuling), Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (Baizhu), Tangerine Peel (Qingpi), Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium (Chenpi), Medicated Leaven (Shenqu), Hordeum Germinatum (Maiya), Corydalis Rhizoma (Yanhusuo), Cyperi Rhizoma (Xiangfu), Amomi Fructus (Sharen), Tintinnitum (Haifen), Crataegi Fructus (Shanzha), Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao), and Platycodonis Radix (Jiegeng). Using this prescription to invigorate the spleen, resolve food stagnation, transform phlegm, leach out dampness, regulate qi, and harmonize blood will ensure the cure of accumulations and masses.
Taonu San (Peach Servant Decoction)
When blood stasis in the abdomen has not yet formed a solid mass, presenting with sallow complexion, fever, abdominal distension, and pain; or when wind-cold invades during postpartum menstruation, causing blood stasis to remain within the Blood Chamber (uterus). For postpartum lochia retention, Shixiao San is used; for amenorrhea due to blood stasis condensation, Yuzhu San is used to purge it. For Xuegu (blood gu, an abdominal mass resembling drum distension), Taonu San is used, comprising Taonu, Mus domesticus faeces (Shufen), Corydalis Rhizoma (Yanhusuo), Cinnamomi Cortex (Guixin), Amomi Fructus (Sharen), Persicae Semen (Taoren), Cyperi Rhizoma (Xiangfu), and Trogopteri Dung (Wulingzhi).
[Note] During the postpartum period or menstruation, if women are injured by wind-cold, there must be blood stasis remaining within the Blood Chamber. However, since it has not yet formed a hard lump, it is not named Jia (a movable mass). The patient will necessarily present with a sallow complexion, umbilical and abdominal distension and pain, internal heat, and afternoon fever (Bure). If postpartum lochia does not flow smoothly, Shixiao San is appropriate; if menstruation is closed and blocked due to blood stasis condensation, Yuzhu San is appropriate. If blood stasis fails to circulate and remains accumulated for a long time, it will inevitably form Xuegu (blood gu), and Taonu San is appropriate. This formula consists of Taonu, Mus domesticus faeces (Shufen), Corydalis Rhizoma (Yanhusuo), Cinnamomi Cortex (Guixin), Amomi Fructus (Sharen), Persicae Semen (Taoren), Cyperi Rhizoma (Xiangfu), and Trogopteri Dung (Wulingzhi) (Mus domesticus faeces, also known as Liangtoujian, refers to male mouse excrement. Taonu refers to dried, unripe peaches that have not fallen from the peach tree).
Shixiao San (Formula see Volume 1, Metrorrhagia section) Yuzhu San (Formula see Volume 1, General Formulas section)
Pain in a tendon on either side of the navel, protruding like a string, is named Zheng (a hard, fixed abdominal mass); a mass located obliquely between the two hypochondria is named Pi (a lateral abdominal mass); a mass rising high like a mountain is named Shan (hernia-related mass), which necessarily radiates pain to the lower abdomen and lumbar hypochondrium. All three conditions are caused by wind-cold, appearing intermittently and triggered by cold exposure; symptoms manifest during pain and subside when pain ceases.
[Note] On both sides of the woman's navel, tendons may protrude and cause pain, large ones as thick as an arm, small ones as thin as a finger, shaped like a bowstring, which is called Zheng. Masses located obliquely between the two hypochondria are called Pi. If the lower abdomen radiates pain to the lumbar hypochondrium and presents with a high, raised mass, it is called Shan. Although the names differ, they are essentially all caused by wind-cold pathogenic factors invading the Bao Palace (uterus). Therefore, their attacks are always triggered by re-exposure to wind-cold. When attacking, pain occurs and the mass becomes palpable; when pain subsides, it returns to normal.
