Shenshi Xiaotan Yin (Dampness-Percolating and Phlegm-Dissolving Decoction): Treats accumulation of damp-heat phlegm penetrating into the bladder (Note: It is acceptable to say it penetrates into the Lower Jiao, but saying it enters the bladder is incorrect), resulting in continuous leukorrhea. (This formula generally treats dampness in the Middle Jiao; since clearing the Middle Jiao prevents dampness from flowing downward, leukorrhea stops naturally, so there is no such thing as "penetration".)
Ingredients: Baizhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma, stir-fried), Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma, soaked seven times in ginger juice), Juhong (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Rubrum), Bai Fuling (Poria), Baizhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix), Xiangfu (Cyperi Rhizoma) (each 1 qian); Gancao (Licorice Root, honey-fried, 0.5 qian).
Preparation and Administration: Coarsely crush the ingredients. Decoct with water and take orally. If heat signs are present, add Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix); if blood deficiency exists, add Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma) and Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix); if qi deficiency exists, add Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma); if chronic and unhealed, add Shengma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma) and Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix) to raise yang qi.
Cangbai Chupi Wan (Coptis and Toona Pill): Treats leukorrhea in obese individuals due to damp-phlegm. (This formula removes dampness from the Middle Jiao and clears heat from the lower part; it is also a formula by Zhu Danxi.)
Ingredients: Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex), Chugenpi (Toonae Cortex), Nanxing (Arisaematis Rhizoma), Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma), Haishi (Pumex), Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Xiangfu (Cyperi Rhizoma), Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, processed) (all in equal proportions). In summer months, remove Ganjiang and add Huashi (Talcum).
Preparation and Administration: Grind into fine powder, mix with vinegar to form pills, size similar to paulownia seeds. Take 50–60 pills per dose, washed down with plain warm water.
Xiao Wei Dan (Small Stomach Pill): The upper action extracts phlegm from the chest and diaphragm, while the lower action promotes the discharge of phlegm from the intestines and stomach, including damp-phlegm and hot-phlegm. It also treats leukorrhea caused by congealed phlegm in women. Contraindicated for those with weak stomach qi and poor appetite. (This is a potent purgative for guiding out water; ancients could use it, but modern practitioners cannot.)
Ingredients: Gansui (Kansui Radix, wrapped in wet flour and roasted until cooked; alternatively, wrap one side and boil in running water, then dry), Yuanhua (Genkwa Flos, mixed with good vinegar overnight, burned in a clay vessel until black but not charred), Daji (Euphorbiae Pekinensis Radix, boiled in running water for one shichen [2 hours], rinsed with water, dried, each half liang), Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex, stir-fried, 1 liang), Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, wrapped in wet paper and roasted until not charred, sliced, dried, moistened with wine, stir-fried until hot, then dried again, 1.5 liang).
Preparation and Administration: Grind into fine powder, use Baizhu paste (a modern innovation with unique efficacy worth emulating) as a binder to form pills, size similar to radish seeds. Swallow 5–7 pills with saliva before bedtime, or take with plain warm water. Aim to eliminate damp-phlegm and heat accumulation above the diaphragm; adjust dosage according to condition. For purgative effect, take on an empty stomach. Another variant adds Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix) and Binglang (Arecae Semen), each half liang.
Bu Yao Fang (Tonifying Formula): Treats leukorrhea caused by phlegm concretion. First, take Xiao Wei Dan when half-hungry and half-full, swallowing several pills with saliva. After the stagnation opens, take this tonifying formula.
Ingredients: Baizhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma, 2 liang), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, 5 qian), Hongbai Kuihua (Hibisci Rosa-Sinensis Flos, red and white, 2.5 qian), Baishaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, 7.5 qian).
Preparation and Administration: Grind into fine powder, use steamed biscuit dough as a binder to form pills, size similar to paulownia seeds. Take 30–50 pills per dose, washed down with Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction). (This is also a formula by Zhu Danxi, functioning to support spleen and stomach, nourish liver yin, and clear heat. The use of hibiscus flowers relies on their imagery of turning towards the sun; generally, flower nature is yin but function is yang. Once entering the qi and blood levels, they facilitate ascending via yang, thus stopping leukorrhea.) Another variant contains Cangzhu instead of Huangqin.
