人参 生姜 大枣 吴茱萸
厥阴头痛,干呕吐沫,此方主之。
厥阴脉挟胃,寒气内格,故干呕吐沫。厥阴与督脉会于巅,引寒上逆,故头痛。茱萸辛热味浓,下走能温少
阴、厥阴,佐以生姜,散其寒也,佐以参、枣,补其虚也。且厥阴经络,又环阴器,如寒疝腰痛,牵引睾丸,脉
沉迟,加附子等分煎,凉服。一方以吴萸、干姜等分为丸,参汤下,义同。
诗曰∶吴萸参枣姜,为汤阴邪降,四逆草姜附,寒毒中无妨。
干姜 附子(开水泡去盐,剂片,煎) 甘草
此因病而名方。其症寒中阴厥,脉迟小或沉,濡中见数,
身倦不热,或有微热不渴,懒言动,当急温之,迟则不救。盖本人胃气大虚,肤腠疏豁,外受风邪,内食生冷,
其疾即发。非若伤寒,循经传里之缓也。故不问内外因,总以炙草、姜、附为主。有转自利者、头痛者,随时增

风寒传入厥阴,症如上,服上药不效,眼反暴发,及妇女经行不利,须桂枝、细辛以温表,归、芍、甘草以
调里,通草通阴阳,大枣和荣卫,立瘳。若人素有内寒,不问传、中,四逆合用无害。
Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), Huang Qi (Astragali Radix), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Ju Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata), Ding Xiang (Caryophylli Flos), Sha Ren (Amomi Fructus), Gou Qi (Lycii Fructus), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma).
In chronic illness leading to Stomach deficiency, with reduced appetite and vomiting, or accompanied by nausea and eyelid swelling; in women experiencing dizziness during menstruation, this formula is indicated.
The Stomach is the sea of water and grain. When strong, it digests well; when weak, it vomits upon smelling food. Combined with nausea, eyelid swelling, and dizziness during menstruation, regardless of whether the disease is new or chronic, it should be treated as a deficiency syndrome. Now, using Ren Shen, Bai Zhu, Huang Qi, and Gan Cao, their sweet and warm properties are used to tonify; using Ju Pi, Fu Zi, Ding Xiang, and Sha Ren, their acrid and penetrating properties are used to harmonize; using Dang Gui and Gou Qi, they nourish Yang within Yin and nourish Yin within Yang to assist. Would not the aforementioned symptoms be eliminated?
Poem states: Chonghe contains Ginseng, Licorice, and Atractylodes; for nourishing the Stomach, use Clove, Amomum, and Citrus peel; further add Aconite and Angelica; people with Goji will have no eye diseases.
Ren Shen, Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens), Da Zao (Jujubae Fructus), Wu Zhu Yu (Evodiae Fructus).
Jueyin headache, dry retching with spitting of saliva, this formula is indicated.
The Jueyin meridian runs alongside the Stomach. Internal obstruction by cold qi causes dry retching and spitting of saliva. The Jueyin meridian meets the Du meridian at the vertex, drawing cold upward, thus causing headache. Wu Zhu Yu is acrid and hot with a strong flavor; descending, it warms the Shaoyin and Jueyin meridians. Assisted by Sheng Jiang, it disperses cold; assisted by Ren Shen and Da Zao, it tonifies deficiency. Furthermore, the Jueyin meridian circles the genitalia. In cases of cold hernia with lower back pain radiating to the testicles and a deep, slow pulse, add an equal amount of Fu Zi, decoct, and take cool. Another method is to make pills from equal parts Wu Zhu Yu and Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), taken with Ren Shen decoction; the principle is the same.
Poem states: Evodia, Ginseng, Jujube, and Ginger form a soup to subdue Yin pathogens; Sini with Licorice, Ginger, and Aconite poses no harm against cold toxins.
Gan Jiang, Fu Zi (soaked in boiling water to remove salt, sliced, and decocted), Gan Cao.
This formula is named after the condition. The symptoms include cold obstructing the interior and extremity coldness, with a slow, fine, or deep pulse; a soggy pulse with a rapid quality; body fatigue without fever, or slight fever without thirst; reluctance to speak and move. Urgent warming is required; delay renders it incurable. This is because the patient's Stomach Qi is severely deficient, the skin and pores are loose, external wind-cold invades, and internal consumption of cold/raw food triggers the disease. It is not like Shanghan (Cold Damage) where pathogens transmit slowly along the meridians into the interior. Therefore, regardless of internal or external causes, the main herbs are roasted Gan Cao, Gan Jiang, and Fu Zi. If diarrhea develops or headache occurs, herbs can be added according to circumstances, potentially turning adverse conditions into favorable ones.
If wind-cold transmits to the Jueyin meridian, presenting with the above symptoms, and the previous medication fails, resulting in sudden onset of eye inflammation and irregular menstruation in women, Gui Zhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) and Xi Xin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma) are needed to warm and release the exterior, Dang Gui and Bai Shao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), and Gan Cao to regulate the interior, Tong Cao (Tetrapanacis Medulla) to unblock Yin and Yang, and Da Zao to harmonize Ying and Wei, leading to quick recovery. If the person has inherent internal cold, regardless of transmission or direct invasion, combining with Sini Tang poses no harm.
