Add one zhong of water, boil until rolling, then strain immediately. Cool rapidly well-water and take cold.
Lengxiang Yinzi (Cold Fragrance Decoction) treats Huoluan (Cholera-like disease) where Yin and Yang are separated, presenting with irritability and a submerged pulse. Caoguo and Chenpi warm the Spleen, resolve dampness, and stop vomiting; Zhigancao and Shengjiang stabilize the Spleen meridian.

Qingshu Yiqi Tang (Clear Summerheat and Boost Qi Decoction) is a formula by Li Dongyuan for diseases arising from deficiency and decline of the Spleen and Stomach. In summer, exposure to coolness and consumption of cold drinks damage the Spleen and Stomach internally, suppressing and inhibiting True Yang, causing external Yuan Qi to dissipate. For those struck by Summerheat due to improper diet, sexual excess, or failed heat avoidance, clearing and resolving should be combined with tonification.

This formula adds Renshen and Muxiang, plus Gegen (Kudzu Root) and Huoxiang (Patchouli). Although it combines tonifying deficiency and dispersing pathogens, patients with dampness contraindicate sweating; thus, Liu Hejian's formula is more specialized.
