[Shuyu Wan] (from *Jingui Yaolue*) Treats various deficiencies in Xu Lao (consumptive disease) and numerous ailments caused by wind pathogens.
Shuyu (i.e., Dioscoreae Rhizoma, two liang.) Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus), Qu (Saccharomyces), Dihuang (Rehmanniae Radix), Dayouhuangjuan (Sojae Semen Praeparatum) (each seven qian half), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, honey-fried, one liang two qian), Renshen (Ginseng Radix), Ejiao (Asini Corii Colla) (each five qian), Xiong (Chuanxiong Rhizome), Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix), Maimendong (Ophiopogonis Radix), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum), Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix), Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix), Fuling (Poria) (each four qian), Jiangjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), Bailian (Tinosporae Caulis), Dazao (Ziziphi Jujubae Fructus, fifty fruits, made into paste).
The above twenty-one ingredients are ground into fine powder, mixed with refined white honey to form pills the size of a bullet. Take one pill on an empty stomach; one hundred pills constitute one dose.
[Suanzaoren Tang] (from *Jingui Yaolue*) Treats deficiency heat causing restlessness and insomnia, and night sweats due to Xu Lao.
Suanzaoren (Ziziphi Spinosae Semen, fried, half liang), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, honey-fried, one qian), Fuling (Poria), Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma, fried), Xiong (Chuanxiong Rhizome) (each two qian).
The above five ingredients are decocted in water and taken warm in two divided doses. The *Shen Shi Fang* adds Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma). If loose stools occur, remove Zhimu and add Renshen. If night sweats persist after taking this formula, remove Xiong and add Shaoyao. For palpitations (Zhengchong), remove Zhimu and Xiong, and add Renshen, Huangqi (Astragali Radix), Danggui, Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), and Lianrou (Nelumbinis Semen).
[Dahuang Zhechong Wan] (from *Jingui Yaolue*) Treats extreme debility from the Five Exhaustions, emaciation, abdominal fullness, inability to eat, internal dry blood, rough skin resembling scales, and dark eyes. This formula should be used to attack and expel the evil blood before tonifying.
Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, two qian half), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, two qian), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, three qian), Taoren (Persicae Semen, one he), Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum, one he), Dihuang (Rehmanniae Radix, one liang), Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix, four qian).
Ganqi (Drynariae Rhizoma? Note: Text says Ganqi but context implies Drynaria or similar resinous substance, traditionally processed until smoke ceases, one qian), Mengchong (Blattidae/Insect, one he), Shuizhi (Hirudo, ten pieces, fried in pig fat), Qicao (Silkworm larva, one he), Zhechong (Eupolyphaga/Steleophaga, half he).
The above twelve ingredients are ground into fine powder and formed into pills the size of small beans with honey. Take fifty pills with warm wine, three times daily.
[Bilao Wan] Treats all types of consumptive diseases with stagnation. Suitable for those not yet damaged by improper medication.
Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, fried), Ruxiang (Olibanum), Moyao (Myrrha) (each one qian), Renshen (Ginseng Radix, two qian), Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, four qian), Zhizi (Gardeniae Fructus, fourteen fruits, peeled and fried), Mengchong (Blattidae/Insect, fourteen pieces), Shuizhi (Hirudo, fourteen pieces, fried until black).
Ground into fine powder, mixed with refined white honey to form pills the size of wu zi (wuju fruit seeds). Take one hundred pills per dose, administered with Bilao Water. Stop when evil matter is expelled. Eat plain white porridge for ten days. Bilao Water is made by stirring water vigorously with a ladle one hundred times, then boiling it (also known as Ganlan Water).
[Qiongyu Gao] Treats dry cough due to Xu Lao, bloody taste in the throat, and dull pain in the intestines.
Xian Dihuang (Fresh Rehmanniae Radix, forty liang), Renshen (Ginseng Radix, separately ground into powder), Baifuling (White Poria, separately ground into powder, each ten liang), Chenxiang (Aquilaria Lignum), Hupo (Fossilia Subcorium, separately ground into powder, each half liang).
First, decoct the fresh Dihuang into a paste until it does not soak into paper. Add the powders of Renshen and Fuling, along with twenty liang of sugar crystals, stir evenly until melted. Remove from fire, then add Hupo and Chenxiang, mix well, and store in a porcelain jar. Take several spoonfuls with warm wine in the early morning before noon; boiling water is also acceptable.
[Siwei Lurong Wan] Treats deficiency of the Liver, Kidney, and Du Mai (Governing Vessel), coughing up blood, weak pulse, upper heat and lower cold.
Lurong (Deer Antler Glue/Bone, roasted with butter, separately pounded into paste), Wuweizi (Schisandrae Fructus), Dangguishen (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, body only) (each one liang), Shudihuang (Prepared Rehmanniae Radix, two liang).
Ground into fine powder, mixed with wine to form pills the size of wu zi. Take forty to fifty pills per dose, swallowed with warm wine on an empty stomach.
[Jisheng Lurong Wan] (When made as a decoction, named Shengliao Lurong Wan) Treats long-term deficiency of true Qi in the Kidneys, weakness and pain in the lower body, wheezing and coughing, and fluid retention transforming into phlegm.
Lurong (Deer Antler Bone, wine-roasted), Niuxi (Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix, salt-wine fried), Wuweizi (Schisandrae Fructus) (each two liang), Shihu (Dendrobii Caulis), Bajitourou (Morinda Officinalis Radix), Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata), Chuanleirou (Toosendan Fructus, wine-steamed), Shanyao (Dioscoreae Rhizoma), Rougui (Cinnamomi Cortex), Duzhong (Eucommiae Cortex, salt-wine fried), Zexie (Alismatis Rhizoma, salt-water fried) (each one liang), Chenxiang (Aquilaria Lignum, separately ground, five qian).
Ground into fine powder, mixed with wine paste to form pills the size of wu zi. Take seventy pills per dose, swallowed with warm wine in the early morning. Common versions also include Baiji (Spina Gleditsiae), Tusizi (Cuscutae Semen), Cishi (Magnetitum), and Yangqishi (Leucogypsum Fibrosum).
[Anshen Wan] Treats Kidney deficiency with wind invasion, causing weakness and pain in the lower body and inability to stand.
Rougui (Cinnamomi Cortex), Chuan Wutou (Aconiti Radix Praeparata, each one liang five qian), Bailili (Tribuli Fructus, fried, thorns removed), Bajitian (Morindae Officinalis Radix, bone removed), Shuyu (Dioscoreae Rhizoma, ginger juice fried), Fuling (Poria), Shihu (Dendrobii Caulis, wine-fried).
Chuanbixie (Smilacis Chinae Rhizoma, fried), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Rongzong (Cynomorii Herba, wine-soaked and cleaned), Buguzhi (Psoraleae Fructus, fried) (each four liang eight qian).
Ground into fine powder, mixed with refined honey to form pills the size of wu zi. Take seventy pills per dose, swallowed with salt water on an empty stomach, and with warm wine before bed. Since the Kidneys are invaded by wind-cold, causing unrest, Wutou and Bailili are used to dispel wind and scatter cold. Once the wind is gone, the Kidneys settle naturally; warming and tonifying are not initially required. The other herbs (Gui, Ling, Zhu, Bixie, Buguzhi, Jixi, Rongzong, Shihu) although said to regulate Spleen and Kidney, actually focus on dispelling dampness and promoting urination. This is because excessive eating/drinking and sexual activity cause sweat to be sealed by wind, leading to heavy limbs. Without unblocking the water passages, the disease cannot be cured. This formula resembles Dihuang Yinzi but differs significantly from Cui Shi's Ba Wei Wan.
[Si Wuie Gu Yi Lu Ru Wan] (from *Suwen*) Treats qi exhaustion and liver injury, blood loss and depletion. Women with blood depletion and amenorrhea, men with impotence and essence injury.
Wuie Gu (Cutula Sepiae, four liang, i.e., Sepiae Endoconcha), Lu Ru (Qian Gen/Sappan Wood root? Text notes Ben Cao calls it Lu Ru, i.e., Qian Cao Gen/Radix Rubiae),
Formed into pills using quail eggs, size of small beans. Take five pills after meals, drink Abalone Juice. This benefits the intestines and heals liver injury. Formulas from *Neijing* are rare; only a few exist, often neglected. Errors in texts like *Jia Yi Jing* and *Tai Su* led to confusion about "Lu Ru," causing Wang Bing to misinterpret its nature. I have verified that both herbs move blood, hence used for qi exhaustion, liver injury, and blood depletion. Quail eggs and abalone juice are used to warm the Kidney and regulate the Liver using "sentient" substances, gradually resolving dry blood into yellow fluid. "After meals" means taking medicine before food to direct the action downward. Contraindicated in Yin deficiency with Yang hyperactivity, wheezing, hemoptysis, priapism, and spermatorrhea, as it is purely warming and dispersing without nourishing True Yin. Question: How can blood-moving herbs treat blood depletion? Answer: Blood depletion and amenorrhea are not purely deficiency; they involve dry blood accumulation due to qi exhaustion and liver injury, preventing Ying blood from storing. Symptoms like chest/flank distension, dizziness indicate blood stasis in the Liver; aversion to fishy smells indicates stasis in the Stomach; clear nasal discharge indicates Stomach Qi failure and turbid Qi rising. All these stem from Yang deficiency failing to transform fluids. Thus, clearing dry blood is paramount. Hence, *Jingui* uses Dahuang Zhechong Wan for similar presentations. Compared to Si Wuie Gu Yi Lu Ru Wan, Dahuang Zhechong Wan is far more potent in breaking stasis. Question: What if quail eggs are unavailable? Answer: Skill lies in adaptability. Quail meat or chicken eggs/liver can substitute. Chicken corresponds to Xun (Wind/Liver), and Liver governs blood. Flexibility is key.
[Huaroushi San] (from *Ju Fang*) Treats qi deficiency with blood coagulation, accumulation and obstruction causing chest/diaphragm pain. Use a heavy dose to exhaust the stasis.
Huaroushi (Flower Heart Stone, five liang, crushed, found in Liushan Mountain, resembles yellow stone with flower-like spots. Fake ones look like intricate flowers; real ones turn blood to water when placed on it), Liuhuang (Sulfur, two liang).
The above two ingredients are fused together in a crucible, sealed with salt mud, and calcined for one fu period (approx. 2 hours). Grind into powder. Take two qian after meals, mixed with child's urine. Also treats postpartum blood reversal, retained placenta, or fetal death in utero. After stasis turns to yellow fluid, administer Dushen Tang (Single Ginseng Decoction).
[Shihui San] Treats hematemesis and hemoptysis due to Xu Lao. Use this first to arrest bleeding.
Daji (Great Thistle Root), Xiaoji (Lesser Thistle Root), Boye (Thuja Leaf), Bohe (Mint Leaf), Qian Gen (Rubia Root), Maogen (Imperatae Rhizoma), Shanzhi (Gardeniae Fructus), Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma), Mudanpi (Moutan Cortex), Zonglupi (Livistona Petiole) (equal parts).
Each ingredient is burned to ash while retaining its nature, wrapped in paper, and buried overnight. Take two to three qian after meals, mixed with child's urine. Huaroushi San is a harsh blood-breaking agent; people fear it. Ge Kejiu stated it is suitable for sudden massive bleeding but not for chronic deficiency or Liver/Kidney blood issues. Combined with Shihui San without distinguishing cold/heat leads to misuse. Shihui San targets fire flaming upward; misusing it for yin-solidification is less harmful than misusing Huaroushi San for heat-induced bleeding, which is dangerous since heat bleeding is common (80-90%) while yin-solidification is rare (10-20%). Fear has led to neglect, leaving patients with yin-blood surges untreatable. Is this fate?
[Ruijin Dan] Treats Xu Lao with hematemesis and blood stasis.
Chuan Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, mixed with wine, fried black until yellow smoke appears), Zhen Qiushi (True Autumn Stone) (each one liang).
Grind into fine powder, mix with boiled red date pulp to form pills the size of small beans. Take two qian on an empty stomach with Bohe Tang (Mint Decoction). For stasis in the Pericardium with palpitations, flushed face, and confusion, add Zhen Yujin (Curcumae Radix, three qian). For stasis in the Stomach with massive hematemesis, take with Xijiao Dihuang Tang.
[Tongzhen Wan] Treats Xu Lao with hematemesis and qi deficiency wheezing.
Zhen Qiushi (True Autumn Stone), Chuan Beimu (Fritillariae Cirrhosae Bulbus, heart removed) (equal parts).
Mix with boiled red date pulp to form pills. Take two qian on an empty stomach with Bohe Tang. If pulse is deficient and qi exhausted, add Renshen. If pulse is fine and rapid indicating Yin deficiency, do not use Renshen; add Mudanpi. For Spleen deficiency with loose stools, add Shanyao, Fuling, and Zhi Gancao.

[Xunshun Wan] Treats retrograde menstruation in women (blood flowing upwards), coughing/hemoptysis in men with wiry pulse at Left Guan/Chi positions, chills on the back, and blood stasis.

[Wugu Ji Wan] (from *Mizhi*) Treats women with depression, steaming fever, cough, irregular menstruation, amenorrhea, retrograde menstruation, postpartum consumption, metrorrhagia, leukorrhea. Also treats men with premature depletion, chronic cough with hemoptysis, and Xu Lao.
Wugu Baisimao Ji (One hen, prepared as in Xunshun Wan), Bei Wuwei (Schisandrae Fructus, one liang, crushed), Shudihuang (Prepared Rehmanniae Radix, four liang; add raw Dihuang two liang if heat).
Place in chicken belly, cook with aged wine, fermented rice wine, and child's urine in a clay pot as in Xunshun Wan.

Although ingredients are common, this formula is highly effective for regulating menstruation. Chicken enters Xun (Liver); black bone enters Kidney. It transforms Xun to Kan, harmonizing Jia/Gui (Liver/Kidney) and nourishing Chong/Ren Mai. Sun Simiao noted that sages use living creatures for critical cases. While humans value life over animals, compassion extends to all. These formulas are essential for Xu Lao; use only when necessary. Using them for profit harms benevolence.
