The treatment of Qi (vital energy) essentially consists of methods to nourish Kidney Water (Kidney Yin/fluids). Qi is transformed from Water. Therefore, I propose the theory that "having Qi is equivalent to having Water." This pill utilizes Liuwei Dihuang Tang (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Decoction) to replenish Water to preserve Qi, and promote diuresis to transform Qi. By adding Wuweizi (Schisandra Fruit) to astringe and conserve Qi, Qi naturally returns to its root, preventing floating and wheezing. It is named "Duqi" (All-Gathering Qi), signifying the comprehensive regulation of Qi. Shenqi Wan (Kidney Qi Pill) establishes a principle for those with Yang deficiency; this pill (Duqi Wan) establishes a principle for those with Yin deficiency. Both are named after "Qi." The former supplements Yang to generate Qi, while the latter supplements Yin to harmonize with Qi.
Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction)
Huangqi (Astragali Radix, 3 qian) Renshen (Ginseng Radix, 3 qian) Zhigancao (Prepared Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 1 qian) Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, 3 qian) Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, 3 qian) Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, 1 qian)
Shengma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma, 1 qian) Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix, 2 qian) Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, 3 qian) Dazao (Jujubae Fructus, 3 pieces)
Ke Yunbo stated: When Yang Qi sinks into the Yin aspect, and Grain Qi is not robust, exterior symptoms may resemble external contraction diseases. Using tonifying-the-middle agents combined with releasing-exterior herbs stabilizes the Middle Jiao. Using Qi-augmenting agents relying on clear and ascending herbs doubles the Qi. This demonstrates the subtle synergy of herb pairing. This formula tonifies the Spleen, causing Earth Qi to ascend from below; it can also tonify the Heart and Lungs. For Lung damage, augment Qi; for Heart damage, harmonize Ying (Nutrient) and Wei (Defensive) Qi. It can also tonify the Liver; when Liver Qi is stagnant, it should be dispersed. It is unsuitable for the Kidneys. Yin deficiency in the lower part contraindicates ascending therapies; Yang deficiency in the lower part is even more contraindicated for ascending therapies.

Fire belongs to Yang, but Yang originates from the Liver and Spleen. If Spleen Qi sinks, Liver Wood fails to grow; if warming Qi decays, Yang lacks the source of generation. This formula tonifies it.

Zelan (Lycopersici Herba, 2 qian) Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, 1 qian) Yuan shen (Scrophulariae Radix, 3 qian) Danshen (not specified, likely Dan Cao/Gentianae Radix based on context "Dan Cao", 2 qian) Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, 2 qian) Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, 3 qian)

The formula takes sweet-cold and moistening properties to generate Stomach fluids and relieve thirst. Its brilliance lies in Gegen's ascending action, distributing fluid moisture upward.
Qingxin Yin (Heart-Clearing Drink)
Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, 3 qian) Shengdi (Rehmanniae Radix, 3 qian) Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, 2 qian) Lianxin (Nelumbinis Plumula, 3 qian) Liaoqiaoxin (Lonicerae Japonicae Flos Corolla, 1 qian) Fushen (Poria with Hostwood, 2 qian)
