Chihishi (Lapis Kaolin, one jin, crushed, sweet flavor, warm nature) Yuyulianggyao (Halloysitum Rubrum, one jin, crushed, sweet flavor, neutral nature)
The above two ingredients. Boil in six sheng of water. Reduce to two sheng of liquid. Remove the dregs. Divide into three doses.
Bencao states: Astringent flavors can treat slippage/loss of control. The astringency of Chihishi is used for convergence and consolidation. Heavy substances can treat timidity/fear; the heaviness of Yuyulianggyao is used to stabilize and secure.
After Shaoyang disease has undergone emesis and purgation, followed by sweating, deficiency vexation occurs, and the pulse is extremely faint. After eight or nine days, epigastric fullness and hardness appear, pain in the hypochondrium, Qi rushing up to the throat, dizziness, and vertigo.
If the meridians tremble and twitch, prolonged duration will lead to Wei syndrome (flaccidity syndrome).
After Shaoyang disease has undergone emesis and purgation, followed by sweating, both exterior and interior Qi become deficient. Deficiency vexation and an extremely faint pulse indicate internal deficiency of healthy Qi with pathogenic factors remaining alone. By the seventh or eighth day, healthy Qi should recover and pathogenic factors should cease. However, if epigastric fullness, hypochondriac pain, Qi rushing to the throat, and dizziness occur, it is because internal healthy Qi is deficient and fails to recover, while pathogenic factors remain knotted and do not disperse. Trembling and twitching of the meridians indicate extreme deficiency of Qi in the collaterals; over time, heat Qi returns to the meridians, inevitably resulting in flaccidity and weakness.
After Shaoyang disease undergoes sweating, or emesis, or purgation, and the pathogen is resolved, but epigastric fullness and hardness persist with persistent belching, Xuanfu Daizhe Shi Tang (Cassia Flower and Hematite Decoction) is the primary treatment.
Although the major pathogen has been resolved, due to previous sweating, emesis, and purgation, Stomach Qi is weak and unharmonized, causing deficient Qi to rebel upward. Thus, there is epigastric fullness and hardness with persistent belching. Administer Xuanfu Daizhe Shi Tang to descend deficient Qi and harmonize the Stomach.
Xuanfuhua (Flos Inulae, three liang, salty flavor, warm nature) Renshen (Radix Ginseng, two liang, sweet flavor, warm nature) Shengjiang (Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens, five liang, sliced, pungent flavor, warm nature) Banxia (Rhizoma Pinelliae Preparatum, half sheng, washed, pungent flavor, warm nature) Daizheshi (Hematitum, one liang, bitter flavor, cold nature) Dazao (Fructus Jujubae, twelve pieces, broken open, sweet flavor, neutral nature) Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparata, three liang, honey-fried, sweet flavor, neutral nature)
The above seven ingredients. Boil in ten dou of water. Reduce to six sheng of liquid. Remove the dregs and decoct again. Obtain three sheng of liquid. Take one sheng warm per dose. Three times daily.
Fullness and hardness imply firm Qi; salty flavor can soften it. The salinity of Xuanfuhua softens epigastric fullness. Deficiency implies floating Qi; heavy agents can anchor it. The heaviness of Daizheshi anchors rebellious deficient Qi. Pungent flavors disperse; the pungency of Shengjiang and Banxia disperses deficient fullness. Sweet flavors moderate; the sweetness of Renshen, Gancao, and Dazao tonifies weak Stomach Qi.
Lou氏 stated: After resolution of the disease, if there is epigastric fullness and hardness with belching, and no diarrhea, this is the Xuanfu Daizhe Shi Tang pattern described in this clause. If there is diarrhea, it is the Shengjiang Xiexin Tang (Fresh Ginger Heart-Draining Decoction) pattern described in the previous clause.
After purgation, Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) must not be administered again. If sweating and wheezing occur without high fever, Mahuang Xingren Gancao Shigao Tang (Ephedra, Apricot Kernel, Licorice, and Gypsum Decoction) may be given.
In Volume 3, Clause 16, it was stated: After sweating, Guizhi Tang must not be administered again. If sweating and wheezing occur without high fever, the treatment method is the same as this case. Although sweating and purgation differ, since neither should damage healthy Qi, and the transmission of the pathogenic factor is the same, the same treatment method is applied. This corresponds to the classic text stating "after sweating, purgation, or emesis."
Taiyang disease (Disease of the Taiyang Channel), where exterior symptoms have not resolved, yet multiple purgations have been performed, leading to Liège Re Er Li (Diarrhea accompanying heat), with incessant diarrhea, epigastric fullness and hardness, and unresolved exterior and interior conditions, is treated with Guizhi Renshen Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Ginseng Decoction).
Exterior symptoms unresolved, yet multiple purgations performed, further deficiences the interior. Pathogenic heat enters due to deficiency. Interior deficiency with accompanying heat leads to incessant diarrhea and epigastric fullness. If the exterior is resolved but diarrhea persists with epigastric fullness, Xiexin Tang (Heart-Draining Decoction) may be given. If there is no diarrhea, the exterior is unresolved, and there is epigastric fullness, the exterior should first be resolved before treating the fullness. Because both exterior and interior are unresolved, Guizhi Renshen Tang is administered to harmonize the interior and resolve the exterior.
