Zhuo disease (Turbid Discharge) presents with clear and white urine from the essence orifice, while turbid matter resembling pus causes pain within the yin. Redness and heat indicate exhaustion of essence and blood failing to transform; whiteness and cold indicate turbid essence formed by damp-heat.
[Note] Redness mostly belongs to Heat patterns, but there are cases where prolonged turbid discharge exhausts essence and Yang deficiency fails to transform into white, belonging to Cold patterns. Whiteness mostly belongs to Cold patterns, but there are cases where failed essence ferments due to damp-heat, turning white and belonging to Heat patterns. Therefore, one cannot generally judge red and white turbid discharge solely by Cold or Heat.
Qingxin Lianzi Yin (Clear Heart Lotus Seed Decoction), Bixie Fenqing Yin (Dioscorea Hypoglauca Separating Turbidity Decoction), Zhenzhu Fen Wan (Pearl Powder Pill).
For Zhuo Heat patterns, use Qingxin Lianzi Yin. For Cold patterns, use Bixie Fenqing Yin, which consists of Bixie (Dioscorea Hypoglauca Rhizome), Shichangpu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma), Wuyao (Linderae Radix), Yizhi (Alpiniae Oxyphyllae Fructus), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), and Fuling (Poria). For Damp-Heat patterns, use Zhenzhu Fen Wan, which consists of Chao Hei Jiang (Charred Black Ginger), Chao Huangbai (Charred Phellodendri Cortex), Huashi (Talcum), Qingdai (Indigo Naturalis), Chao Shenqu (Charred Mass Medicamentii Fermentati), Chao Chunpi (Charred Toosendan Cortex), and Gafen (Concha Meretricis et Cyprinis).
[Note] For red turbid discharge belonging to Heat patterns, Qingxin Lianzi Yin is suitable (recorded in the Lin Syndrome section). For white turbid discharge belonging to Cold patterns, Bixie Fenqing Yin is suitable, composed of Bixie, Shichangpu, Wuyao, Yizhi, Gancao, and Fuling. For red and white turbid discharge belonging to Damp-Heat patterns, Zhenzhu Fen Wan is suitable, composed of charred black ginger, charred phellodendri cortex, talcum, indigo naturalis, charred mass medicamentii fermentati, charred toosendan cortex, and concha meretricis et cyprinis.
Heixi Dan (Black Tin Pill).
Heixi Dan applies to Upper Excess and Lower Deficiency Cold patterns, characterized by exhausted essence, Yang deficiency, and deficient Fire attacking upward; upper congestion causing headache and rebellious Phlegm-Qi; lower leakage causing turbid discharge, Baiyin (white seminal emission), and spermatorrhea. The formula contains Buguzhi (Psoraleae Fructus), Xiaohuixiang (Foeniculi Fructus), Huluba (Trigonellae Semen), Roukou (Myristicae Semen), Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus), Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata), Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix), Jinyingzi (Rosae Laevigatae Fructus), Chenxiang (Aquilariae Lignum Resinatum), Yangqishi (Actinoliti Fibrosus et Actinoliti Radiatus), Bajitian (Morindae Officinalis Radix), as well as Liuhuang (Sulfur) and Heiqian (Plumbum), which must be processed according to method and finely ground.
[Note] For red and white turbid discharge belonging to Deficient-Cold patterns, as well as symptoms caused by deficient Yang attacking upward such as headache, wheezing and coughing, Phlegm congestion, and Qi rebellion, Heixi Dan is suitable. It consists of Buguzhi, Xiaohuixiang, Huluba, Roukou, Fuzi, Guizhi, Muxiang, Jinyingzi, Chenxiang, Yangqishi, Bajitian, Liuhuang, and Heiqian.
Yin excess generates Yin (Fluid Retention), Yang excess generates Tan (Phlegm); thick and turbid Tan indicates Heat, clear foam indicates Cold. Dry Tan is scanty, sticky, and difficult to expectorate; Wet Tan is abundant and easy to expel; Wind Tan causes tremors and vertigo. Tan-Yin stagnating in the diaphragm causing fullness and vomiting is called Fu Yin (Hidden Fluid). Tan-Yin stagnating in the lungs causing wheezing, coughing, facial edema, and difficulty lying flat is called Zhi Yin (Supporting Fluid). Water fluid flowing into the four limbs causing body pain is called Yi Yin (Overflowing Fluid). Cough pulling胁肋 pain is called Xuan Yin (Hanging Fluid). Sudden emaciation despite previous robustness, with gurgling sounds of water moving in the intestines, is called Tan Yin (Phlegm-Fluid, specific sense). Fluid retention in the chest and lungs causes wheezing, shortness of breath, and thirst; fluid retention below the diaphragm causes palpitations under the heart and coldness in the back.
[Note] Yin (Fluid) is clear and thin, thus attributed to Yin excess. Tan (Phlegm) is thick and turbid, thus attributed to Yang excess. Thick and turbid Tan is Heat Tan, associated with the Heart. Clear and foamy Tan is Cold Tan, associated with the Kidney. Scanty, sticky, and difficult to expectorate Tan is Dry Tan, associated with the Lung. Abundant and easy-to-expel Tan is Wet Tan, associated with the Spleen. Tremors and vertigo are Wind Tan, associated with the Liver. Fullness above the diaphragm and vomiting of saliva/phlegm indicate Yin retained in the diaphragm, named Fu Yin. Wheezing, coughing, facial edema, and inability to lie flat indicate Yin retained in the Lung, named Zhi Yin. Fluid flowing into the four limbs causing heavy and painful body indicates Yin flowing on the body surface, named Yi Yin. Cough pulling胁肋 pain indicates Yin retained under the胁肋, named Xuan Yin. Previous robustness now emaciated, with gurgling sounds and water moving in the intestines, indicates Yin retained in the stomach and intestines, named Tan Yin. Whenever Yin retains in the chest and lungs, it causes wheezing, fullness, shortness of breath, and thirst. When Yin retains below the diaphragm, it causes palpitations under the heart or coldness in the back.
Erchen Tang (Two-Aged Decoction), Zaotan Tang (Dry Phlegm Decoction).
For various Tan types, use Ju Hong (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma), Fuling (Poria), and Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) [Erchen Tang]; however, this is not suitable for Dry Tan. Add Nanxing (Arisaematis Cum Bile) and Baifuzi (Typhonii Rhizoma) for Wind Tan; add Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) and Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma) for Heat Tan; add Rougui (Cinnamomi Cortex) and Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) for Cold Tan; combine with Siqi Tang (Houpo and Suzye) for Qi Tan; add Xiangfu (Cyperi Rhizoma) for Tan generated by Stagnation; add Renshen (Ginseng Radix) and Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) for Qi deficiency with Tan (Liujunzi Tang); add Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma) for Wet Tan. For Dry Tan, use Zaotan Tang, composed of Ku Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix), Xuanshu Hua (Inulae Flos), Haishi (Pietritum), Tiandong (Asparagi Radix), Ju Hong (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Fenghua Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas exsiccatus), Zhike (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus), Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix), Beimu (Fritillariae Bulbus), and Gualou Shuang (Trichosanthis Fructus Pulvis).
[Note] "Various Tan" refers to all Phlegm syndromes, which are suitable for treatment with Erchen Tang, consisting of Ju Hong, Banxia, Fuling, and Gancao. Because Fuling and Banxia have overly penetrating and drying properties, they are not suitable for Dry Tan. Based on this formula: add Nanxing and Baifuzi for Wind Tan; add Huangqin and Huanglian for Heat Tan; add Ganjiang and Rougui for Cold Tan; add Houpo and Suzye for Qi Tan (combining with Siqi Tang); add Xiangfu for Tan due to Stagnation; add Renshen and Baizhu for Qi deficiency with Tan (forming Liujunzi Tang); add Cangzhu for Wet Tan. Zaotan Tang is suitable for Dry Tan, composed of Ku Huangqin, Xuanshu Hua, Haishi, Tiandong, Ju Hong, Fenghua Mangxiao, Zhike, Jiegeng, Beimu, and Gualou Shuang.
Fuling Zhimi Wan (Poria Confusing-Dissipating Pill).
Fuling Zhimi Wan, composed of Fuling (Poria), Fenghua Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas exsiccatus), Zhike (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus), and Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma), is a mild agent for treating Tan-Yin. For Cold-Excess Tan-Yin, use Genti San (Cathartics) to induce vomiting or Touluo Dan to purge. For Heat-Excess, use Daxiongxiong Tang or Wan (Major Chest-Harshening Decoction/Pill) for the diaphragm, and Xiaoweidan (Minor Stomach-Purging Pill) for the Triple Burner.
[Note] Zhimi Wan is a mild preparation for treating all Tan-Yin, consisting of Fuling, Fenghua Mangxiao, Zhike, and Banxia. For Cold-Excess Tan-Yin, use Genti San to vomit or Touluo Dan to purge. For Heat-Excess, use Daxiongxiong Tang or Wan in the diaphragm, and Xiaoweidan in the Triple Burner.

For Hidden Yin Excess, use Shenyao Wan; for Hidden Yin Deficiency, use 3 qian Banxia, 2 qian Fuling, 1 qian Dingxiang, and 3 qian Shengjiang decocted and taken orally, which is Banxia Fuling Tang plus Dingxiang. Supporting Yin is treated with Tingli Dazao Tang; Hanging Yin is treated with Shizao Tang.
