[Ju Fang (Formulary of the Bureau of Taiyi)] Treats symptoms caused by various wind pathogens attacking upwards, including frontal headache and lateral headache, aversion to wind with sweating, aversion to cold with high fever, nasal congestion with profuse phlegm, dizziness, and vertigo.
Lateral headache is caused by wind pathogen invading the brain; its onset and cessation occur without fixed timing. Since it is an invasion of wind (here referring to exogenous wind pathogen), there is sweating and aversion to wind. The wind pathogen remains in the exterior, causing aversion to cold and high fever. Wind-cold invades the skin and hair, the couli (pores) become dense, preventing the release of pathogens; qi stagnates in the nasal orifice, causing nasal congestion. Rising fire leads to profuse phlegm; phlegm-heat attacks upward, causing dizziness and vertigo.

(Note: For wind-heat patterns, use Juhua (Chrysanthemi Flos) to clear heat.)
Qianghuo treats Taiyang meridian headache; Baizhi treats Yangming meridian headache; Xiongqiong treats Shaoyang meridian headache; Xixin treats Shaoyin meridian headache. Fangfeng serves as the vanguard among wind-dispelling herbs.

[Zai Zao San (Jie An Formula)] Treats conditions where yang deficiency prevents the generation of sweat. (Tao Jie'an stated: It treats headache, neck stiffness, fever, aversion to cold, and absence of sweat. If after taking diaphoretic medicines for one or two doses, sweat still does not appear, it is because yang deficiency fails to generate sweat, termed "Wu Yang Zheng" (Yang Absence Syndrome). Quack doctors fail to recognize this pattern; regardless of the season, they use heavy drugs like Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba) to forcibly extract sweat, harming many people. This formula should only be used when there is definitive evidence of deficiency-cold in both pulse and symptoms.)

Renshen (Ginseng Radix) Huangqi (Astragali Membranacei Radix) Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, processed) Xixin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma) Qianghuo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix) Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix) Xiongqiong (Ligusticum Chuanxiong Rhizoma) Wei Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Praeparatum) Dazao (Ziziphi Jujubae Fructus, 2 pieces). Can add Chao Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, stir-fried).
The Classics state: Human sweat can be likened to rain from heaven and earth. The inability to sweat despite attempts indicates that pathogens are abundant while true yang is deficient. Therefore, Renshen, Gancao, Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), Guizhi, and Fuzi are used to greatly tonify yuan qi (original qi) and assist yang. (Jie'an said: People only know that Renshen and Huangqi can stop sweating, but do not realize they can also induce sweating. When paired with exterior-releasing herbs, they assist these herbs in dispersing pathogens. Li Dongyuan and Zhu Danxi, when treating common cold in constitutionally weak individuals, often used Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) added with exterior-releasing herbs; the intent is the same as this formula.)
