This combines the previous two formulas.
For those with both Qi and Blood deficiency, this formula is advanced.
What humans rely upon are nothing but Qi and Blood. Since Qi and Blood are the parents of the hundred bones (the whole body), how can we allow them to be deficient? It is necessary to use a combined preparation of Sijunzi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) and Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) for balanced tonification. Once the form and Qi are relaxed, pathogenic factors will not enter. Hence, these eight herbs—Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Fu Ling (Poria), etc.—are called Bazhen (Eight Treasures).
Add Huang Qi (Astragali Radix) and Rou Gui (Cinnamon Cortex) to Bazhen Tang, decocted with Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) and Da Zao (Jujubae Fructus) as assistants.
When muscles are emaciated, complexion is withered, eyes are sunken, and vision is dim, this indicates deficiency damage reaching its extreme, likely developing into Laozai (consumptive disease). Urgent large-scale tonification of Qi and Blood is required. The Classics state: "Qi primarily provides warmth; Blood primarily provides moistening." Therefore, within Bazhen Tang, add sweet-warm Huang Qi to assist Yang and secure the defensive exterior, and add pungent-warm Rou Gui to warm Yin and nourish Ying (Nutritive Qi). When Ying and Wei (Defensive Qi) are substantial, pathogens retreat spontaneously. Further discussion reveals that although these ten substances provide strong tonification, they should only be decocted and administered if the patient suffers from consumptive fatigue with slightly dry Blood or has Phlegm-Fluid retention. If there is only extreme muscle emaciation and dim vision without other complications, one must substitute Wu Wei Zi (Schisandrae Fructus), Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata), and Lu Rong (Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum) for Fu Ling, Xiong Diao (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), and Bai Shao (Paeoniae Radix Alba). This ensures the medicine is truly perfect in its ten components, making treatment infallible. The *Jin Gui Yao Lue* states: "For deficiency, tonify ten times; do not purge even once." This is precisely what it refers to.
The poem says: Siwu and Sijunzi are often called Bazhen; adding Huang Qi and Rou Gui completes the Ten Tonics to restore true Yuan Qi.
Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Fu Ling (Poria), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Huang Qi (Astragali Radix - sliced and stir-fried with honey), Ju Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Rou Gui (Cinnamon Cortex), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix), Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix), Yuan Zhi (Polygalae Radix - slow-fire dried and stems removed), Wu Wei Zi (Schisandrae Fructus).
For extremely weak pulse, emaciated muscles, palpitations, amnesia, night sweats, fever, poor appetite, shortness of breath, emaciated muscles, withered eyes, and falling hair, this formula is indicated.
The Classics state: "Spleen Qi scatters essence and transports it upward to the Lung. This is Earth Qi ascending." The Lung governs regulation, unblocks water passages, and transports downward to the Bladder; this is Heaven Qi descending. When Lung and Spleen are deficient, upper and lower do not interact, and Ying Blood lacks the source to generate. Thus, Lung deficiency leads to shortness of breath and falling hair. Spleen deficiency leads to poor appetite, emaciated muscles, and withered eyes. With dual deficiency of Spleen and Lung, there is naturally no Blood to nourish the Heart, leading to exhaustion of all vessels, night sweats, fever, palpitations, amnesia, and occasional twitching/trembling of muscles and tendons. In the above formula, Huang Qi, Bai Zhu, Fu Ling, Gan Cao, Ju Pi, and Yuan Zhi nourish the Ying aspect of Qi; Dang Gui, Shao Yao, Di Huang, Wu Wei Zi, and Gui Xin (Cortex Cinnamomi) nourish the Ying aspect of Blood. The title "Ren Shen" elevates its status as the chief ingredient. Xue Lizhai said: "When Qi and Blood are both deficient, beyond description, regardless of the disease or pulse, simply using this decoction suffices to claim medical knowledge."
The poem says: Yangrong is essentially Shiquan, removing Xiong Diao and adding Wu Wei Zi, plus Chen Pi (aged Tangerine Peel); Kidney strengthens by storing Yuan Zhi.
