[Formula 27: Pinelliae, Ziziphi Jujubae, Ginseng, Ginger, and Magnolia Bark Decoction]
Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex (Pinelliae, Ziziphi Jujubae, Ginseng, Ginger, and Magnolia Bark Decoction) (8 liang, peeled, processed with heat, bitter and warm flavor) Fresh Ginger (8 liang, sliced, pungent and warm flavor) Pinelliae Rhizoma Preparatum (8 liang, washed, pungent and neutral flavor) Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma (1 liang, warm flavor) Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Preparatum (2 liang, processed with heat, sweet and neutral flavor)
Take the above five herbs. Boil in 10 dou of water until reduced to 3 sheng of liquid. Remove the dregs. Take 1 sheng warm, three times a day.
The *Neijing* states: The Spleen desires relaxation; when urgent, use sweet flavors to relax it. To drain, use bitter flavors. The bitterness of Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex drains abdominal fullness. The sweetness of Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma tonifies the Spleen and Stomach. The pungency of Pinelliae Rhizoma Preparatum and Fresh Ginger disperses stagnant Qi.
Wang Sanyang stated: After emesis or purgation, if distension is due to excess, it is because exterior pathogenic factors were not resolved and inappropriate purgation was used. In this case, after sweating, the pathogenic factors have already dispersed; thus, it is known not to be an interior excess syndrome.
In Shaoyang disease, after emesis or purgation, if there is rebellious fullness below the heart, Qi rushing upward to the chest, dizziness upon standing, and a deep, tight pulse, further sweating will disturb the meridians, causing the body to tremble and shake. Treat primarily with Poria, Cinnamon Twig, Atractylodes Macrocephala, and Licorice Decoction.
After emesis and purgation, Yang Qi is deficient and sunken. Although there is rebellious fullness below the heart, it is because deficient Yang cannot govern the Middle Qi. Therefore, use Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma to tonify the Middle; use Cinnamomi Ramulus to benefit Yang; use Poria to drain fullness.
After emesis and purgation, interior deficiency leads to rebellious Qi rising, manifesting as rebellious fullness below the heart and Qi rushing upward to the chest. If exterior deficiency and insufficient Yang cause dizziness upon standing and a floating, tight pulse, the pathogen is in the exterior, and sweating should be induced. If the pulse is deep and tight, the pathogen is in the interior, and sweating is contraindicated. Inducing sweating would externally disturb the meridians and damage Yang Qi. With exterior Yang deficiency failing to govern the vessels, the body trembles and shakes. Administer this decoction to harmonize the meridians and benefit Yang.
[Formula 28: Poria, Cinnamon Twig, Atractylodes Macrocephala, and Licorice Decoction]
Poria (4 liang, sweet and neutral flavor) Cinnamomi Ramulus (3 liang, peeled, pungent and hot flavor) Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (2 liang, bitter, sweet, and warm flavor) Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Preparatum (2 liang, processed with heat, sweet and neutral flavor)
Take the above four herbs. Boil in 6 sheng of water until reduced to 3 sheng of liquid. Remove the dregs. Divide into three doses and take warm.
For insufficient Yang, tonify with sweet flavors. Poria and Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma generate fluids and benefit Yang. For rebellious interior Qi, disperse with pungent flavors. Cinnamomi Ramulus and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma promote Yang circulation and disperse Qi stagnation.
Shen Liangchen said: Using Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma for fullness—if not from Shishan Lizhai, who could speak of this? Poria is formed from the Qi congealing at pine roots; thus, it descends rebellious Qi and is especially suitable for deficiency patterns.
If after sweating the disease does not resolve and chills appear instead, it indicates deficiency. Treat primarily with Peony, Licorice, and Aconite Decoction.
If sweating resolves the disease, chills do not appear. If the disease does not resolve after sweating but is an exterior excess pattern, chills also do not appear. Now, if after sweating the disease does not resolve and chills worsen, it indicates simultaneous deficiency of Ying and Wei. Sweating causes Ying deficiency; chills indicate Wei deficiency. Administer Peony, Licorice, and Aconite Decoction to tonify Ying and Wei.
