Treats Taiyang disease (disease of the Bladder and Small Intestine channels) where both exterior and interior syndromes are unresolved. Manifestations include thirst and difficulty in urination.
Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma, raw), Fu Ling (Poria), Zhu Ling (Polyporus) (each 2 qian), Ze Xie (Alismae Rhizoma) (3 qian), Gui Zhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) (1 qian).
The above five herbs are ground into a powder. Mix with rice water and administer one fang cun bi (a square-inch measure) per dose. Take three times daily. Alternatively, decoct the raw herbs. After taking the medicine, cover with blankets to induce a slight sweating effect. Commentary: Wu Ling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria) is originally indicated for Taiyang channel pathogens invading the interior, causing thirst, difficulty in urination, and "water regurgitation" (shui ni) where drinking water immediately leads to vomiting. Therefore, Zhu Ling, Fu Ling, Ze Xie, and Bai Zhu are used to promote diuresis and generate fluids. Additionally, Gui Zhi is required to vaporize and move the fluids; thus, the thirst will naturally cease. Later practitioners failed to understand this principle and often used Wu Ling San to treat conditions of yin deficiency and fluid exhaustion, which would further deplete the fluids, inevitably exacerbating fever and thirst. Is this the fault of the formula? Moreover, there are cases where Gui Zhi is removed to form Si Ling San (Four-Ingredient Powder with Poria). How can they know that this formula relies entirely on the acrid-warm nature of Gui Zhi to prevent Bai Zhu from causing qi stagnation and fullness. Practitioners using this formula must recognize this point to remain worthy of the lineage of the sages.
Zhu Ling Tang (from *Jingui Yufan Jing*) Treats desire to drink water accompanied by difficulty in urination, as well as Shaoyin disease with diarrhea, cough, vomiting, thirst, irritability, and inability to sleep.
Remove Bai Zhu and Gui Zhi from Wu Ling San, add Hua Shi (Talcum) and E Jiao (Colla Corii Asini) in equal proportions. Decoct in water, strain, and take warm. Three times daily. Commentary: This is a formula for treating Taiyang and Shaoyin diseases. Wu Ling San uses Bai Zhu to guide water dampness and moisten dryness, assisted by the acrid-warm nature of Gui Zhi to vaporize and move qi and fluids. This formula uses Hua Shi to clear heat and promote diuresis, assisted by the sweet-moistening nature of E Jiao to protect blood. Since sweat is the fluid of blood, it is contraindicated for patients who are thirsty due to excessive sweating.
Zhu Ling San (from *Jingui Yaolue*) Treats vomiting followed by a desire to drink water.
Remove Ze Xie and Gui Zhi from Wu Ling San, grind into a powder. Administer with water, one fang cun bi per dose, three times daily.

Remove Zhu Ling, Ze Xie, and Gui Zhi from Wu Ling San, add Rong Yan (Natrii Chlorum, i.e., Blue Salt).
