Treating pathogenic factors invading the Zang-Fu organs:
Excess Yang and deficiency Yin lead to inability to close the eyes for sleep.
Setaria Italica Seed (one sheng), Pinellia Tuber (five he).
Take flowing water from a thousand li away, splash it ten thousand times, take the clear portion, use five sheng to cook the two ingredients with reed firewood. Cook slowly until reduced to one and a half sheng, remove the dregs, and drink a small amount of the juice at a time.
Setaria Italica Seed is sweet and slightly cold. The *Nei Jing* states that pungent flavors disperse it and sweet flavors moderate it. The *Nan Jing* states that when the Yang Qiao vessel is diseased, the Yang side is flaccid and the Yin side is tight, with excess Yang. Sweet flavors are used to moderate it. Flowing water is chosen for its moving and non-stagnant nature; reed firewood is chosen for its hollow and non-obstructive nature. This corresponds to the classic saying of resolving blockages and unblocking the meridians.

Treating gastric reversal and vomiting:
Pinellia Tuber (two sheng), Ginseng Radix (three liang), White Honey (one sheng).
Take the above three ingredients, mix with twelve dou of water and honey, splash two hundred and forty times, decoct to obtain two and a half sheng. Take one sheng warm, and divide the remainder into two doses.

Those who vomit should naturally feel thirsty; if they feel thirsty, it indicates the condition is about to resolve. Now that they do not feel thirsty, it is because there is retained fluid (Zhi Yin) in the heart region. This formula governs this condition.
Pinellia Tuber (one sheng), Fresh Ginger (half jin).
Take the above two ingredients, decoct with seven sheng of water to obtain one and a half sheng. Divide into two warm doses. In the *Huoren Shu*, it is called Banxia Shengjiang Tang, treating severe vomiting approaching exhaustion.
