This is a modified formula of Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction). It treats conditions caused by fatigue and overwork damaging Yin, where essence fails to transform into Qi, or internal deficiency due to Yin deficiency, leading to unresolved external contractions, alternating chills and fever resembling malaria, and constipation due to dryness from Yin deficiency. For all cases where Qi deficiency allows pathogenic factors to invade from outside, using this formula for lifting and dispersing yields miraculous effects.
Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix) (1-3 qian), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) (2-3 qian), Shan Yao (Dioscoreae Rhizoma) (2-3 qian, stir-fried with wine), Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) (1 qian), Shu Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata) (3-5 qian, or more). [Text missing: Water 2 zhong]. Add 3-7 slices of fresh ginger, decoct until 80% remains, take warm after meals.
It treats conditions such as sinking of Qi deficiency, uterine bleeding or blood collapse, and critical Yang collapse. For those unsuitable for formulas like Guipi Tang (Restore the Spleen Decoction) or Shu Di Huang-based preparations, but who only require tonification of Qi, this formula serves as the primary treatment.
Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), Huang Qi (Astragali Radix) (each 3-5 qian, honey-fried), Zhi Gan Cao (Prepared Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (1-2 qian), Sheng Ma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma) (5-7 fen, stir-fried), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) (1-2 qian, stir-fried). [Text missing: Water 1.5 zhong]. Decoct until 70-80% remains, take warm. If accompanied by Yang deficiency and cold, Gui Zhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus), Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata), and Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) may be added as auxiliaries according to suitability. If accompanied by slipping and incontinence, add 2 Wu Mei (Mume Fructus) or 5-7 fen Wen Ge (Meretricis et Cyclinae Concha).
It treats conditions caused by excessive worry injuring the Spleen, failing to control blood, leading to reckless bleeding; or forgetfulness, palpitations, fright and anxiety, night sweats, lethargy; or irregular bowel movements, pain in the heart and spleen, malaria and dysentery with stagnation; or adverse changes resulting from inappropriate medication that attacks and injures the Spleen. This formula is most suitable for these cases.
Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), Huang Qi (Astragali Radix), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Fu Ling (Poria), Suan Zao Ren (Ziziphi Spinosae Semen) (each 2 qian), Yuan Zhi (Polygalae Radix), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) (each 1 qian), Mu Xiang (Aucklandiae Radix), Zhi Gan Cao (Prepared Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (each 5 fen). [Text missing: Water 2 zhong]. Add 7 pieces of Long Yan Rou (Longan Aril), decoct until 70% remains, take after meals.
Mr. Jingyue stated: The use of Mu Xiang (Aucklandiae Radix) in this formula is specifically designed for cases involving stagnation and pain. If there are no symptoms of pain or stagnation, Mu Xiang must be removed to avoid its drying nature, which would be even more beneficial for those with Qi deficiency and restless blood. Furthermore, Yuan Zhi (Polygalae Radix) has a pungent taste and ascending, dispersing Qi. For cases with excessive sweating and restlessness/heat, it should also be used with discretion.
