Huang Bo (Cortex Phellodendri, stir-fried with salt and wine), Shu Di Huang (Rhizoma Rehmanniae Praeparata, steamed with wine, each 4 liang), Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis, washed with wine), Shan Yao (Rhizoma Dioscoreae), Gou Qi Zi (Fructus Lycii, those from Ganzhou are best, each 3 liang), Zhi Mu (Rhizoma Anemarrhenae, stir-fried with salt and wine), Shan Zhu Yu (Fructus Corni), Bai Shao Yao (Radix Paeoniae Alba, each 2 liang), Sheng Di Huang (Rhizoma Rehmanniae Recens, 2.5 liang), Rou Cong Rong (Herba Cistanche, soaked in wine), Xuan Shen (Radix Scrophulariae, each 1.5 liang).

Add two cups of water, decoct until reduced to eight-tenths, take at any time. If constipation is present, add Da Huang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, 2 qian).
Dao Zhi Tong You Tang (Guiding Stagnation and Opening the Secluded Decoction) treats dry and obstructed stool. Run Chang Wan (Moistening Intestine Pill) and Ba Zheng San (Eight Upright Powder) are seen under "Constipation" and "Strangury," respectively.
Ge Hua Jie Cheng Tang (Kudzu Flower Relieving Intoxication Decoction, by Li Dongyuan) treats excessive drinking leading to vomiting of phlegm and counterflow; mental restlessness; chest and diaphragm stuffiness and obstruction; trembling and shaking of hands and feet; decreased appetite; and difficult urination.
Qing Pi (Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae Viride, pith removed, 3 qian), Mu Xiang (Radix Aucklandiae, 0.5 qian), Ju Hong (Exocarpium Citri Reticulatae), Ren Shen (Radix Ginseng), Zhu Ling (Sclerotium Polypori, peeled), Bai Fu Ling (Poria, each 1.5 qian), Shen Qu (Massa Medicata Fermentata, stir-fried), Ze Xie (Rhizoma Alismatis), Gan Jiang (Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens), Bai Zhu (Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, each 2 qian), Bai Dou Kou (Fructus Amomi Rotundus), Ge Hua (Flos Puerariae Lobatae), Sha Ren (Fructus Amomi, each 5 qian).
Grind into extremely fine powder. Take 3 qian per dose, mixed with plain boiled water. Once a slight sweat is achieved, the alcohol disease will be eliminated. This is a method of last resort; one should not rely on it to indulge in alcohol and damage vital qi. It is suitable only for those suffering from alcohol-related illness.
Wu Ling San (Five-Ling Powder) is seen under "Xiao Dao" (Wasting and Thirsting).
Gua Di San (Melon Seed Powder) is used for severe fullness and excess, counterflow of qi upward, presence of pulse at the cun/guan positions but absence at the chi position, and chest filling with stifling confusion. If pulses at all three positions are vigorous, Bei Ji Wan (Emergency Preparedness Pill) should be used.
Gua Di (Fructus Cocculus, stir-fried), Chi Xiao Dou (Semina Phaseoli Angularis, boiled, equal parts).
Grind into fine powder. Take 2 qian per dose, mixed with warm sour rice water, inducing vomiting as the limit. Zhang Zhongjing used Xiang Chi (Folium Morae Cum Flore, 7 he) boiled in water to make juice, mixing it with one bi of powder for administration. If the chi pulses are not absent, vomiting should not be induced immediately, as this medicine may damage vital qi and prevent the recovery of stomach qi. If there is only chest obstruction and stifling confusion without blockage, induce vomiting by probing the throat; stop once vomited. Only if probing fails should this formula be used to induce vomiting.
Zhi Zhong Tang (Regulating Middle Decoction) is Li Zhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction) plus Chen Pi (Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae) and Qing Pi (Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae Viride) in equal amounts.
Hong Wan Zi (Red Pills, from *Heji Jufang*) strengthens the spleen and stomach, eliminates retained food, and removes distension.
Jing San Leng (Rhizoma Sparganii), Peng E Zhu (Rhizoma Curcumae Longae, baked), Qing Pi (Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae Viride, white part removed), Chen Pi (Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae, white part removed, each 5 jin), Gan Jiang (Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens, processed), Hu Jiao (Fructus Piperis Longi, each 3 jin).
Grind into powder, use vinegar and wheat paste to make pills the size of paulownia seeds, coated with alum-red. Take 30 pills per dose after meals, sent down with ginger soup. Dosage for children should be adjusted accordingly.
*Yijian Fang* Red Pills (Preparation methods are detailed in *Jufang*).
Peng E Zhu (Rhizoma Curcumae Longae), San Leng (Rhizoma Sparganii), Ju Pi (Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae), Qing Pi (Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae Viride), Hu Jiao (Fructus Piperis Longi), Gan Jiang (Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens), A Wei (Resina Asafetidae), Fan Hong (Alum-Red).
Take 60 pills per dose with ginger soup. Highly effective for spleen and stomach conditions in adults and children. However, San Leng and E Zhu inherently break stagnation and eliminate masses, and their nature is fierce, so they are not typically used as daily tonics. Currently, due to isolation of production areas, authentic versions are unavailable, so they are substituted with Hong Pu Gen (Rhizoma Cyperi Rotundi or similar), which has similar properties but different efficacy. For the elderly, weak individuals, children, and pregnant women, since treating illness does not consume true qi, there is no need to doubt its use. The pills must be made finely using good rice vinegar and aged rice flour. If A Wei and Fan Hong are omitted during preparation, it is named Xiao Ju Pi Jian (Minor Tangerine Peel Decoction), treating common food injuries, middle jiao stuffiness, and fullness, with immediate effect. After major illness, when grain food is hard to digest, or for treating acid retention in the middle jiao, take with ginger soup. For spleen-cold malaria, take with ginger and tangerine peel soup. For heart and abdominal distension/pain, take with Zi Su Ye (Folium Perillae) and chen pi soup. For spleen pain, take with Shi Chang Pu (Rhizoma Acori Tatarinowii) soup. For jaundice (wine or grain type) with general yellowing, take with da mai (Hordei Fructus Usitatus) soup. For pain radiating from hypochondrium to breast, take with Chen Xiang (Lignum Aquilariae Resinatum) soup. For wine and food accumulation with yellow face, abdominal distension, and occasional dry heaving, take with roasted ginger soup. For women with spleen blood pain and blood/qi masses, irregular menstruation, or delayed menses, swallow with vinegar soup; especially suitable for alternating chills and fever. For postpartum symptoms resembling epilepsy caused by residual blood attacking upwards and confusing the mind, take with hot vinegar soup for faster effect. In men and women, epilepsy is not always due to heat accumulation in the heart meridian; sometimes it results from unsmooth gallbladder qi leading to phlegm-fluid clouding the heart orifices. Excessive use of cooling agents worsens confusion; thus, coat this pill with Chen Sha (Cinnabar) and swallow with orange leaf soup, named Xiao Zhen Xin Wan (Minor Heart-Calming Pill). For pregnant women with morning sickness/vomiting unable to retain food despite various treatments, this is the best remedy, taken with Er Chen Tang (Two-Cured Decoction). People suspect it causes miscarriage and refuse it, often renaming it; it has miraculous effects, though accidental harm to the fetus might lead to blame.
Da Qi Xiang Wan (Major Seven-Aromatic Pills, from *Heji Jufang*) treats cold deficiency of spleen and stomach, choking sensation in chest/diaphragm progressing to geqi (dysphagia), spleen diarrhea/dysentery, regurgitation, and vomiting.

Grind the ten ingredients into powder, mix with honey to make pills the size of quail eggs. Take one pill per dose, chewed with salted wine or salted soup. Avoid raw, cold, fatty, and greasy foods.
Xiao Qi Xiang Wan (Minor Seven-Aromatic Pills, from *Heji Jufang*) warms the middle, opens the diaphragm, resolves accumulation, and harmonizes qi. Treats alcohol-induced nausea/counterflow, qi-blockage/food-choking, tea/wine/food accumulation, and pediatric malnutrition (gan qi).
Gan Song (Nardostachys Radix et Rhizoma, 8 liang), Yi Zhi Ren (Fructus Alpiniae Oxyphyllae, 6 liang), Xiang Fu Zi (Rhizoma Cyperi Rotundi, stir-fried), Ding Xiang Pi (Caryophylli Cortex), Gan Cao (Radix Glycyrrhizae, honey-fried, each 12 liang), Peng E Zhu (Rhizoma Curcumae Longae, baked), Suo Sha (Fructus Amomi, each 2 liang).

Shan Zha Rou (Fructus Crataegi, 2 liang), Ban Xia (Rhizoma Pinelliae, ginger-processed), Ju Hong (Exocarpium Citri Reticulatae), Shen Qu (Massa Medicata Fermentata), Mai Ya (Fructus Hordei Germinatus, stir-fried), Bai Fu Ling (Poria, each 1 liang), Lian Qiao (Fructus Forsythiae), Lai Fu Zi (Semini Raphani, stir-fried), Huang Lian (Rhizoma Coptidis, each 0.5 liang).
Grind into powder, mix with drops of water to make pills. Add 2 liang of Bai Zhu (Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae) to name Da An Wan (Great Peace Pill).
Zhi Zhu Wan (Bitter Orange and Atractylodes Pill, by Zhang Jiegu) treats pi accumulation and strengthens the stomach against food overload. (Haizang says: Originally Zhang Zhongjing's Zhi Zhu Tang, now modified into pills by Yi Lao to treat weakness in old/young, indigestion, or soft viscera.)
Zhi Shi (Fructus Aurantii Immaturus, pith removed, bran-fried, 1 liang), Bai Zhu (Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, 2 liang).
