[Shen Zhuo Tang] (Also known as Gan Jiang Ling Zhu Tang from *Jin Gui Yao Lue*) treats injury by dampness, manifesting as heavy body, abdominal pain, coldness in the lower back without thirst, free urination, and normal diet; the disease belongs to the Lower Jiao. (The Kidney governs water; dampness has a downward nature and must settle where it combines, returning to Kan. This is inevitable. The waist is the mansion of the Kidney; cold-damp pathogenic factors adhere and do not move, hence the cold waist and heavy body, which constitutes Bi Syndrome with Damp predominance [Zhe Bi]. This arises from sweating due to labor, with cold and damp clothing remaining against the skin for a long time.) Xuan Ming Fang uses this formula to treat Bao Bi (Bladder Bi), characterized by heat and pain in the bladder, difficult urination, and clear nasal discharge above. (Wind-cold-damp pathogens lodge in the Bao, Qi fails to transform, thus the water passages are blocked. The Foot-Taiyang Bladder Meridian ascends to the forehead and connects with the brain. If Taiyang meridian Qi cannot descend but instead enters the brain and flows into the nose, clear nasal discharge occurs.)
Ingredients: Pao Gan Jiang (Prepared Ginger Rhizome), Fu Ling (Poria, 4 liang), Zhi Gan Cao (Honey-fried Licorice Root), Chao Bai Zhu (Stir-fried Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizome, 2 liang). If there is cold, add Fu Zi (Aconite Lateralis Radix Praeparata). *Jing Xin Lu* adds Rou Gui (Cinnamon Bark), Ze Xie (Alisma Rhizome), Du Zhong (Eucommia Bark), and Niu Xi (Achyranthes Bidentatae Radix), treating the same condition.
Yu Jiayan stated: Coldness in the waist like sitting in water is not due to coldness of the Kidney's essence and Qi; therefore, diet is normal, bowel movements and urination are unobstructed without thirst, and it has no relation to the Fu organs of the Stomach and Intestines, moreover...
[Xiao Ban Xia Jia Fu Ling Tang] (From *Jin Gui Yao Lue*, called Da Ban Xia Tang in *San Yin Ji Yi Bing Zheng Fang Lun*) treats sudden vomiting, epigastric fullness/stuffiness, fluid retention between the diaphragm, dizziness, and palpitations. (Fluid-Qi reversing upward and stagnating between the diaphragm causes stuffiness; rising to disturb the head causes dizziness; invading the Heart causes palpitations.)
Ingredients: Ban Xia (Pinelliae Tuber, 1 sheng), Sheng Jiang (Fresh Ginger Rhizome, 0.5 jin), Fu Ling (Poria, 3 liang).
Ban Xia and Sheng Jiang promote the movement of fluid-Qi and scatter rebellious Qi, capable of stopping vomiting. Fu Ling calms the Heart-Qi and drains Kidney pathogenic factors, capable of promoting urination. Fire follows water and descends...
Removing Fu Ling yields Xiao Ban Xia Tang (from *Jin Gui Yao Lue*). It treats Zhi Yin (Branching Fluid Retention) with vomiting but no thirst, and also treats Jaundice. (*Jin Gui Yao Lue* states: "Those who vomit should naturally be thirsty; if they are thirsty, it indicates Heat..." [Text appears incomplete here, implying non-thirst suggests cold-fluid rather than heat...] grain Qi and...)
[Yue Bi Tang] (From *Jin Gui Yao Lue*) treats Feng Shui (Wind-Water edema) with aversion to wind, generalized swelling of the whole body, floating pulse without thirst, continuous spontaneous sweating, and absence of significant heat on the body surface. (*Nei Jing* states: "When Liver and Kidney pulses are both deep, it is Shi Shui (Stone Water); when both are floating, it is Feng Shui." Water in the skin causes the floating pulse; lack of internal heat causes absence of thirst. The disease originates from Wind, hence sweating, aversion to wind, and no significant heat, indicating residual heat has not fully retreated.)
Ingredients: Ma Huang (Ephedrae Herba, 6 liang), Shi Gao (Gypsum Fibrosum, 8 liang), Sheng Jiang (Fresh Ginger Rhizome, 3 liang), Gan Cao (Licorice Root, 2 liang), Da Zao (Jujubae Fructus, 12 pieces). If aversion to wind is prominent, add Fu Zi (Aconite Lateralis Radix Praeparata).
Feng Shui pathogens lie between the skin and muscles; Ma Huang's pungent and hot nature is used to drain Lung Qi, while Shi Gao's sweet and cold nature clears Stomach Heat. (The Lung governs the smooth flow of water passages; the Stomach distinguishes fluids... [Text appears incomplete])
