Yu Feng Decoction: Treats various syndromes of stroke. One should take this medicine to guide and dredge all meridians, so that major wind pathogens are eliminated; even if there are minor pathogens, treatment can be adjusted based on this formula. If wind movement is felt initially, taking this will prevent falling or collapsing; this is a crucial medicine for treating disease before it arises.

To achieve unblocking and purging over ten days, use three taels of Yu Feng Decoction, add Rheii Radix et Rhizoma (Dahuang, 大黄) one tael, also divide into four doses, add five to seven slices of ginger per dose, decoct and take before sleep, stop when bowel movement occurs. Additionally, Jiegu's Qiang Huo Yu Feng Decoction: Same as the above formula adding Bupleuri Radix (Chaihu, 柴胡), Eucommiae Cortex (Duzhong, 杜仲), Pinelliae Rhizoma (Banxia, 半夏), Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex (Houpo, 厚朴), Stephaniae Tetrandrae Radix (Fangji, 防己), Poria (Baifuling, 白茯苓), Peucedani Radix (Qianhu, 前胡), Prepared Rehmanniae Radix (Shudihuang, 熟地黄), Gypsum Fibrosum (Shigao, 石膏) etc., nine herbs, totaling thirty-three herbs. It claims to treat Liver and Kidney deficiency, weak sinews and bones, difficulty in speech, mental confusion, internal weakness of wind-dampness, heaviness due to wind-heat, or emaciation with hemiplegia of one limb, or obesity with hemiplegia of half the body. Heart labor generates hundred diseases, heart stillness extinguishes ten thousand evils; this medicine calms the heart and nourishes the spirit, regulates Yin and Yang, preventing excess.
Zhang Jingyue said: Stroke is a syndrome where the pathology lies in the Blood aspect, mostly belonging to the Liver Meridian. The Liver governs Wind-Wood, hence named Stroke. Why have experts since Tang and Song dynasties placed such emphasis on "Wind," thus frequently using dispersing and releasing exterior medicines? Those who suffer from this illness all do so due to internal injury, originally without external contraction. Since there is no external contraction, treating it with dispersing methods accelerates danger. If it is due to stagnation of Qi and Blood, slightly assisting with acrid-warm herbs to promote circulation through collaterals is acceptable; however, regarding it as Wind pathogen and insisting on inducing sweat for dispersion is inadvisable. If among them there are cases combined with exterior pathogens, these formulas cannot be discarded. Therefore, I have selected the important ones and recorded them in detail, merely to preserve the methods of the ancients.
