神方（岐天师）
黄 （八两） 薏苡仁（四两） 白术 白茯苓（各二两） 防风（五钱） 上肉桂（三钱）
水十余碗，煎二碗，分作二服。上午一服，临睡一服，服后以浓被盖之，必出
大汗，不可轻去其被，令汗自干，即愈。一服可也，不必再服。（此方妙在用黄 以补气，盖两
足之所以能动而举步者，气以行之也。今鹤膝之病，则人之气虚不能周到，行步自然艰难，今用黄 半斤，则
气旺极矣，又佐之肉桂以通其气，又佐之防风以散邪，始相恶而相济，又佐之白术、薏苡仁以去其寒湿之气，邪
气去则正气自固，此功之所以速成也。若以为人不能受，畏而不用，则反害之矣。）

[Divine Prescription] (by Patriarch Qi)
Astragali Radix (Huangqi, 8 liang) Coicis Semen (Yiyiren, 4 liang) Atractylodis Rhizoma (Baizhu) Poria (Fuling, 2 liang each) Saposhnikoviae Radix (Fangfeng, 5 qian) Cinnamomi Cortex (Rougui, 3 qian)
Decoct with more than ten bowls of water until two bowls of liquid remain. Divide into two doses. Take one dose in the morning and one dose before sleep. After taking the medicine, cover with a thick quilt to induce profuse sweating. Do not lightly remove the quilt to let the sweat dry naturally; this will lead to recovery. One dose is sufficient; no need for further doses. (The brilliance of this prescription lies in using Astragali Radix to tonify Qi. The reason both legs can move and take steps is that Qi drives them. Now, in the disease of Crane's Knee, the person's Qi is deficient and cannot circulate fully, making walking naturally difficult. Using half a jin of Astragali Radix here makes the Qi extremely vigorous. It is assisted by Cinnamomi Cortex to unblock Qi, and by Saposhnikoviae Radix to disperse pathogens. Though they may seem antagonistic, they actually complement each other. It is also assisted by Atractylodis Rhizoma and Coicis Semen to dispel cold-dampness. Once the pathogenic factors are removed, the healthy Qi naturally consolidates, which is why the effect is achieved quickly. If one believes the body cannot tolerate it and fears using it, it will instead cause harm.)
