If there is sweating, remove Cangzhu; if limbs are cold and there is deficiency sweating, add Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba) and Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus), so as to release the exterior and disperse cold. Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) and Shaoyao, so as to harmonize the interior and relieve pain. Cangzhu and Houpo, so as to level the stomach earth and dissipate fullness. Chenpi and Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma), so as to promote water metabolism. Shaoyao, so as to treat blood. [This formula addresses both exterior and interior.] If not feverish... regarding the onset... it can be known that it is a Yin syndrome. After one dose... if the condition worsens urgently... food stagnation and qi... Combine with Renshen Baidu San (Ginseng Detoxification Powder), named Wuji Jiajiao San (Five Accumulations Mixed Powder). Treats cold-dampness, heavy body pain, soreness and pain in waist and legs.

Phlegm obstructing the middle jiao, dizziness, heartburn and irritability, wind-cold diarrhea. And after cold damage has been sweated, fever continues unabated. (Fever continuing after sweating indicates residual pathogenic factors remain. It is also appropriate to use this formula to harmonize the exterior and interior, so that the pathogens will naturally dissipate. For Yi Yin (overflowing drink) causing heavy body and fixed pain, this formula is also suitable for clearing and draining.)

Yuan Rong said: This formula contains wind-dispelling herbs to release the exterior and qi-regulating herbs to harmonize the middle. External contraction of wind-cold and internal accumulation of phlegm-fluid can all be treated with it. Combined with Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction), it is named Fuling Bu...
