The Huan Shao Dan (Revitalize Young Pill) passed down by Yang Shi. Consists of Cornus officinalis (Shanzhuyu), Dioscorea opposita (Shanyao), Poria cocos (Fuling), Rehmannia glutinosa (Shudihuang), Eucommia ulmoides (Duzhong), and Achyranthes bidentata (Niuxi). Also includes Cynomorium songaricum (Rongrong), Celosia argentea (Chushizi), Foeniculum vulgare (Huixiang), Morinda officinalis (Bajitian), and Lycium barbarum (Gouqi). Combined with Polygala tenuifolia (Yuanzhi), Acorus tatarinowii (Changpu), Schisandra chinensis (Wuweizi), and Ziziphus jujuba (Zao) to make pills. (Cornus officinalis fruit, Dioscorea opposita rhizome, Poria cocos sclerotium, Rehmannia glutinosa prepared root, Eucommia ulmoides bark, Achyranthes bidentata root, Cynomorium songaricum herb, Celosia argentea seed, Foeniculum vulgare fruit, Morinda officinalis root, Lycium barbarum fruit, Polygala tenuifolia root, Acorus tatarinowii rhizome, Schisandra chinensis fruit. Each 2 liang. 100 red dates. Boiled with ginger, then peeled and pitted. Refined honey used to form pills the size of wheat seeds. Take 3 qian per dose. Down with light salt water. Twice a day. This pill has effects similar to Ba Wei Wan (Eight-Ingredient Replenishing Pill). It is particularly suitable for those whose Fire (Mingmen Fire) is not severely deficient.)
Chen Xiuyuan said. This is a formula that facilitates communication between the Heart and Kidney. Ginger (Shengjiang/Fuzi context implies heat), Aconitum carmichaelii (Fuzi), Zanthoxylum bungeanum (Jiaojiao), and Cinnamomum cassia (Guigui) are hot medicines. Hot medicines are like the scorching summer sun, awe-inspiring. The ingredients in this formula solidify the Kidney and tonify the Spleen; they are warm medicines. Warm medicines are like the pleasant winter sun, endearing. Therefore, contemporary physicians often revere it as a secret treasure kept by their pillow. However, for those whose True Fire (Mingmen Fire) is severely depleted, this formula will certainly not yield a lucky cure. Moreover, soft and mild substances may risk reducing appetite, increasing vomiting, and causing diarrhea.
Greatly tonifies essence and marrow. Benefits Qi and nourishes Shen (Spirit).
Humans possess three wonders: Jing (Essence), Qi (Energy), and Shen (Spirit). Seeking them lies in the Ren Mai (Conception Vessel) and Du Mai (Governor Vessel), guarding our true Yuan (Primal Energy). Er Xian Jiao (Two Immortals Glue) takes Tortoise Plastron and Deer Antler. Goji berry (Lycium barbarum fruit) and Ginseng (Panax ginseng) together form four precious items. (Deer antler blood 10 jin, Tortoise plastron 10 jin, Goji berry 20 liang, Ginseng 15 liang. Simmer into paste using a lead pot according to method. Initial dose: dissolve 1.5 qian in wine. Gradually increase to 3 qian. Take on an empty stomach.)
Li Shicai said. Humans have three wonders: Jing, Qi, and Shen, which are the foundation of life. If Jing is damaged, Qi cannot be generated; if Qi is damaged, Shen cannot be generated. For insufficiency of Jing, tonify with flavorful substances. The Deer obtains the most complete Yang Qi of Heaven and Earth, and excels at unblocking the Du Mai. Those abundant in Jing can engage in frequent intercourse yet live long. The Tortoise obtains the densest Yin Qi of Heaven and Earth, and excels at unblocking the Ren Mai. Those abundant in Qi can lie still and breathe slowly, thus living long. These two animals belong to the categories of Qi and Blood, and further obtain the subtleties of creation. Different species with affectionate bonds; this is the method of "repairing bamboo with bamboo." Ginseng clears the vigorous fire generated by food digestion.
Thus, it tonifies the timidity within Qi. Goji berry nourishes the insufficient True Yin. Thus, it supplements the fire within Shen. This formula, one Yin and one Yang, has no worry of excessiveness. Entering Qi and Blood, it possesses the beauty of harmony. From this, Jing is generated and Qi becomes prosperous; Qi becomes prosperous and Shen flourishes. One may almost reach the longevity of turtles and deer. Hence it is called Er Xian (Two Immortals).
