[Da] Women experiencing a sensation of discomfort and hunger mixed with nausea in the chest and heart region (xin xiong za chao) is caused by stagnant fire in the Spleen and Stomach, which combines with stagnant phlegm, blood, tears, and sweat. Treatment involves eating stir-fried pig's blood; this utilizes the principle of "using blood to guide blood," directing the Qi and Blood back to their source. Xuanfu Hua Tang (Inula Flower Decoction) is particularly effective for this condition.
[Xue Ji's Commentary] If the aforementioned symptoms are due to food stagnation and depression, use Liu Jun Zi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction) combined with Shan Zha (Crataegi Fructus) and Shan Zhi (Gardeniae Fructus). If due to Stomach Heat, use Er Chen Tang (Two Aged Ingredients Decoction) combined with Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix) fried with ginger juice and Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma). If due to the Six Depressions (Qi, Blood, Phlegm, Fire, Dampness, Food), use Yue Ju Wan (Yueju Pill). (Refer to Miscellaneous Diseases: Depression chapter). If due to Qi stagnation, use Si Qi Tang (Four Seven Decoction). (Refer to Miscellaneous Diseases: Qi chapter), adding Jie Geng (Platycodonis Radix) and Zhi Ke (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus). Generally, this syndrome belongs to Qi disorders. Both Yuan Qi (Primal Qi) and healthy Qi are insufficient; therefore, Liu Jun Zi Tang should be the primary formula, with a small amount of phlegm-resolving herbs added as adjuvants. If treated with cold-natured clearing-heat methods, it will inevitably lead to complications such as acid regurgitation and epigastric fullness.
One woman had reduced appetite, lack of desire to eat, chest discomfort, dizziness, and expectoration of phlegm. This was due to deficiency of Middle Qi with internal heat. She recovered after taking Liu Jun Zi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction) with added charred Shan Zhi (Gardeniae Fructus) and Jie Geng (Platycodonis Radix). Later, due to overwork, she experienced dizziness, fever, and expectoration of phlegm. She recovered after taking Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) with added Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma), Fu Ling (Poria), and Tian Ma (Gastrodiae Rhizoma).
Another woman had epigastric discomfort, a spicy sensation in the mouth, occasional coughing with expectoration and wheezing, and a complexion that alternated between pale and red. This was due to Spleen Qi deficiency with latent fire in the Lung. She recovered after treatment with Liu Jun Zi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction) added with Shan Zhi (Gardeniae Fructus), Jie Geng (Platycodonis Radix), Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix), and charred Pian Qin (Scutellariae Radix slice).
Another woman presented with discomfort, acid regurgitation, reduced appetite, and loose stools. This was due to Spleen Qi deficiency and Cold with sinking of Qi. She gradually improved after taking Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) with added Fu Ling (Poria), Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma), and Pao Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Preparatum). She remained stable by regularly taking Ren Shen Li Zhong Wan (Ginseng Regulate the Middle Pill).
Another woman experienced discomfort and acid regurgitation after meals, caused by food stagnation transforming into phlegm. She gradually improved after taking Liu Jun Zi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction) to deliver Yue Ju Wan (Yueju Pill), and subsequently recovered after using Jia Wei Gui Pi Tang (Modified Restore the Spleen Decoction). Later, due to anger, she experienced distending pain in both hypochondria and sourness in the epigastrium. She gradually stabilized after taking Si Jun Zi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) to deliver Zuo Jin Wan (Left Metal Pill), and finally recovered by continuing to take Liu Jun Zi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction) to deliver Yue Ju Wan (Yueju Pill).
Xuanfu Hua Tang (Inula Flower Decoction): Treats women with chest discomfort, cold fluid retention in the epigastrium, a sensation of water sloshing in the lower chest (xin xia wang yang), spontaneous flow of clear saliva from the mouth, acute distension and pain in the abdomen and hypochondria, and loss of appetite.
Ingredients: Xuan Fu Hua (Inulae Flos), Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Jie Geng (Platycodonis Radix), Bai Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) (each 1 qian); Ju Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, white part removed) (1.5 qian); Chi Fu Ling (Poria cum Rubo), Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) (each 2 qian); Guan Gui (Laurae Cassiae Cortex, outer bark removed), Xi Xin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (each 0.5 qian).
Preparation and Administration: These ingredients constitute one dose. Add two cups of water and five slices of fresh Ginger (Sheng Jiang), decoct until one cup remains. Take before meals.
[Supplement] I once treated a woman with chest discomfort by mixing Can Su Yin (Ginseng and Perilla Decoction) and Si Wu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) in a ratio of 2:1. Each dose consisted of 4 qian, decocted with seven slices of fresh Ginger. The patient recovered. This formula is also known as Fu Ling Bu Xin Tang (Poria Tonifying the Heart Decoction).
