Huan Yin Jiu Ku Tang (Rescuing and Saving the Yin Decoction, from *Yuan Ji Qi Wei*): Treats chronic eye diseases where the sclera slightly turns cyan, the cornea slightly takes on a white hue, and a red ring like a belt appears between the black and white parts of the eye, known as "encircling redness" (Bao Lun Hong). Symptoms include blurred vision, dimness as if in fog or dew, uneven surface of the eyeball, dull color resembling death, lack of luster, dry mouth, bitter taste in the mouth, excessive eye discharge with a gritty sensation, and heat pathogen in the Upper Jiao.
Prescription: Shengma (Rhizoma Cimicifugae), Cangzhu (Rhizoma Atractylodis Chinensis), Jiegeng (Radix Platycodonis), Zhi Gancao (Prepared Radix Glycyrrhizae), Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri), Fangfeng (Radix Saposhnikoviae), Qianghuo (Rhizoma et Radix Notopterygii) (each 0.5 liang); Xixin (Herba Asari) (2 qian); Bencao (Rhizoma Ligustici Chuanxiong) (4 qian); Chuanxiong (Rhizoma Chuanxiong) (1 liang); Honghua (Flos Carthami) (1 qian); Dangguiwei (Cauda Angelicae Sinensis) (7 qian); Huanglian (Rhizoma Coptidis), Huangqin (Radix Scutellariae), Huangbai (Cortex Phellodendri), Zhimu (Rhizoma Anemarrhenae), Lianqiao (Fructus Forsythiae), Shengdihuang (Radix Rehmanniae Recens) (each 0.5 liang); Longdancao (Herba Gentianae) (3 qian). Take 7 qian per dose, add two zhan of water, decoct to one zhan, remove dregs, and take hot.
In the above formula, Shengma, Cangzhu, Gancao, etc., are used as Sovereign herbs to support the Original Qi and warm those who are deficient; Chaihu, Fangfeng, Qianghuo, Xixin, Bencao, etc., are used as Minister herbs to raise Yang and resolve stagnation, dispersing those who are knotted; Chuanxiong, Jiegeng, Honghua, Dangguiwei, etc., are used as Assistant herbs to nourish and move blood vessels, acting upon those who are retained; Huanglian, Huangqin, Huangbai, Zhimu, Lianqiao, Shengdihuang, Longdancao, etc., are used as Envoy herbs to eliminate heat pathogens, removing guest pathogens. For diseases of the Extraordinary Vessels affected by guest pathogens, and diseases where strong Yang combats solid Yin, this formula is also effective.
Ju Hua Jue Ming San (Chrysanthemum and Cassia Seed Powder): Treats the same symptoms as above.
Prescription: Caojueming (Semen Cassiae), Shi jueming (Concha Arcae) (boiled in flowing water from the east for one shichen, separately ground extremely fine and added to the medicine), Muzeicao (Herba Equiseti), Fangfeng (Radix Saposhnikoviae), Qianghuo (Rhizoma et Radix Notopterygii), Manjingzi (Fructus Viticis), Ganjuhua (Flos Chrysanthemi), Zhi Gancao (Prepared Radix Glycyrrhizae), Chuanxiong (Rhizoma Chuanxiong), Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum) (separately ground extremely fine and added to the medicine), Huangqin (Radix Scutellariae) (each 0.5 liang).
Grind into fine powder. Take 2 qian per dose, add one and a half zhan of water, decoct to eight-tenths, and take with the powder after meals.
In the above formula, Caojueming, Shi jueming, and Muzeicao, which brighten the eyes and remove nebulae, are used as Sovereign herbs; Fangfeng, Qianghuo, Manjingzi, and Ganjuhua, which disperse wind and raise Yang, are used as Minister herbs; Gancao and Chuanxiong, which harmonize Qi and smooth blood, are used as Assistant herbs; Huangqin and Shigao, which treat and eliminate evil heat, are used as Envoy herbs. This formula is also suitable for treating diseases of internal tension and external flaccidity.
Shen Yan Jin Jiu Wan (Divine Effectiveness Spotted Dove Pill): Treats the same symptoms as above, accompanied by dry mouth, bitter taste, excessive eye discharge with grittiness, and heat pathogen in the Upper Jiao.
Prescription: Ganjuhua (Flos Chrysanthemi), Muli (Concha Ostreae) (washed and calcined into powder, each 5 qian); Rougui (Cortex Cinnamomi) (2 liang); Qumai (Herba Dianthi), Ruiren (Semen Pruni Armeniacae) (skin removed), Caojueming (Semen Cassiae), Qianghuo (Rhizoma et Radix Notopterygii) (each 3 liang); Bai Fuling (Poria) (4 liang); Jili (Fructus Tribuli) (stir-fried, thorns removed), Xixin (Herba Asari), Fangfeng (Radix Saposhnikoviae), Huanglian (Rhizoma Coptidis) (each 5 liang); Banjiu (Spotted Dove) (one bird, dead from falling, skin, feathers, intestines, beak, and claws removed, roasted slowly over mild and strong fire until dry with bones); Ge Yanggan (Liver of Ram) (one liver, thinly sliced with a bamboo knife, roasted until scorched, avoid iron knives); Manjingzi (Semen Brassicae Pekinensis) (2 sheng, washed clean, placed in a silk bag, steamed in a steamer for one shichen, then dried).
Grind all ingredients into fine powder, mix with refined honey to form pills, pound five hundred times, and shape into pills the size of wu zi (Chinese quince seeds). Take 20 pills per dose, increasing to 30-50 pills, taken with warm water on an empty stomach.
In the above formula, Ganjuhua and Caojueming, which primarily brighten the eyes, are used as Sovereign herbs; Ruiren, Muli, Huanglian, and Jili, which remove dampness and clear heat, are used as Minister herbs; Fangfeng, Qianghuo, and Xixin, which ascend upwards, along with Qumai and Fuling, which separate downwards, are used as Assistant herbs; Banjiu tonifies the Kidney, Yanggan tonifies the Liver, and Rougui guides the group of herbs into the heat pathogen, serving as Envoy herbs. The preparation of this formula is grand because the Kidney and Liver are distant organs; the principle of frequently administering decoctions and powders applies here.
Wan Ying Chan Hua San (Ten Thousand Responses Cicada Flower Powder): Treats the same symptoms as above.
Prescription: Chantui (Periostracum Cicadae) (cleaned of soil, 0.5 liang), She tui (Periostracum Bombycis) (roasted, 3 qian), Chuanxiong (Rhizoma Chuanxiong), Fangfeng (Radix Saposhnikoviae), Qianghuo (Rhizoma et Radix Notopterygii), Zhi Gancao (Prepared Radix Glycyrrhizae), Danggui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis), Bai Fuling (Poria) (each 1 liang); Chi Shaoyao (Radix Paeoniae Rubra) (3 liang); Cangzhu (Rhizoma Atractylodis Chinensis) (4 liang); Shi jueming (Concha Arcae) (boiled in flowing water from the east for one shichen, ground extremely fine, 1.5 liang).
Grind into fine powder. Take 2 qian per dose, mixed with thick rice wash water after meals before bedtime; hot tea infusion is also acceptable.
The above formula is a compound preparation. If the single prescription fails, use the double prescription, known as a heavy prescription. Using both Chantui and She tui here takes advantage of their dual molting nature, with removing nebulae as the Sovereign function; Chuanxiong, Fangfeng, and Qianghuo, which can clear and benefit the head and eyes, serve as Ministers; Gancao and Cangzhu jointly govern the Spleen and Stomach, which are abundant in Qi and Blood, so Chi Shaoyao is used to tonify Qi and Danggui to tonify Blood as Assistants; Shi jueming anchors and sinks Kidney Water, benefiting essence and restoring Yin, while Bai Fuling separates Yin and Yang and stops diarrhea as Envoys. It also treats diseases of the Extraordinary Vessels affected by guest pathogens.
Huanglian Yanggan Wan (Coptis and Lamb Liver Pill), Zhuyang Huoxue Tang (Assisting Yang and Invigorating Blood Decoction) (both see Eye Pain).
Qianjin Cizhu Wan (Thousand Gold Magnetism and Cinnabar Pill) (see Internal Cataract).
Shaoyao Qinggan San (Peony Clearing Liver Powder, from *Yuan Ji Qi Wei*): Treats excessive eye discharge, dryness, tightness and grittiness, photophobia, red veins penetrating the eyeball, and constipation of the Zang-Fu organs.
Prescription: Baizhu (Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae), Chuanxiong (Rhizoma Chuanxiong), Fangfeng (Radix Saposhnikoviae), Qianghuo (Rhizoma et Radix Notopterygii), Jiegeng (Radix Platycodonis), Huashi (Talcum), Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum) (each 3 fen); Huangqin (Radix Scutellariae), Bohe (Herba Menthae), Jingjie (Herba Schizonepetae), Qianhu (Radix Peucedani), Zhi Gancao (Prepared Radix Glycyrrhizae), Shaoyao (Radix Paeoniae Alba) (each 2.5 fen); Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri), Shanzhi (Fructus Gardeniae), Zhimu (Rhizoma Anemarrhenae) (each 2 fen); Dahuang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei) (4 fen), Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas) (3.5 fen).
Add two zhong of water, decoct to one zhong, and take hot after meals.
The above formula is designed for conditions caused by excessive heat counter-attacking. For diseases where Wind-Heat is uncontrolled and severe heat leads to hard stool, it is used temporarily as a measure, being a bitter-cold medication. Since bitter-cold drugs damage the Stomach Qi, Baizhu's sweet-warm and Gancao's sweet-neutral properties are first used to govern Stomach Qi as Sovereign herbs. Next, the acrid-warm ascending and dispersing clearing benefits of Chuanxiong, Fangfeng, Jingjie, Jiegeng, and Qianghuo are used as Minister herbs. Then, the slightly bitter properties of Shaoyao, Qianhu, and Chaihu, and the slightly bitter-cold properties of Bohe, Huangqin, and Shanzhi, which guide and attack simultaneously, are used as Assistant herbs. Finally, the bitter-cold properties of Zhimu, Huashi, and Shigao, and the greatly bitter-cold properties of Dahuang and Mangxiao are used to expel excessive heat as Envoy herbs. If the stool is not hard, reduce Dahuang and Mangxiao; this is the treatment method of attacking against the disease trend. Taking it very hot is a contrary treatment.
Tongqi Lizhong Wan (Unblocking Qi and Benefiting Middle Pill): Treats the same symptoms as above.
Prescription: Baizhu (Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae) (1 liang), Baizhi (Radix Angelicae Dahuricae), Qianghuo (Rhizoma et Radix Notopterygii) (each 0.5 liang); Huangqin (Radix Scutellariae), Huashi (Talcum) (taken as powder, each 1.5 liang), Dahuang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei) (2.5 liang), Qianniu (Semen Pharbitidis) (taken as powder, 1.5 liang).
Except for Huashi and Qianniu which are separately ground into extremely fine powder, combine the rest into a fine powder, mix evenly with the above powders, drop water to form pills the size of tung zi (Chinese quince seeds). Take 30 pills per dose, increasing to 100 pills, taken with tea soup after meals before sleep.
In the above formula, Baizhu's bitter-sweet-warm property removes heat in the Stomach as Sovereign herb; Baizhi's acrid-warm resolving benefit, and Qianghuo's bitter-sweet-neutral slightly-warm property, unblock and benefit various joints as Minister herbs; Huangqin's slightly bitter-cold treats heat generation, and Huashi's sweet-cold lubricates urination, clarifying turbidity as Assistant herbs; Dahuang's bitter-cold unblocks the large intestine and purges various excess heats, and Qianniu's acrid-bitter-cold promotes bowel movement and removes wind toxicity as Envoy herbs, representing the method of reverse attack. For diseases where Wind-Heat is uncontrolled and severe heat leads to hard stool, it can also be used concurrently. However, Qianniu is toxic and not considered a divine herb; combining it with Dahuang here takes advantage of its fierce and rapid nature. Generally, it should not be used long-term as it damages Original Qi; it is a temporary measure. Dosage should be adjusted according to deficiency and excess.
Huanglian Tianhuafen Wan (Coptis and Trichosanthes Root Pill): Treats the same as above.
Prescription: Huanglian (Rhizoma Coptidis), Ju hua (Flos Chrysanthemi), Chuanxiong (Rhizoma Chuanxiong), Bohe (Herba Menthae) (each 1 liang); Lianqiao (Fructus Forsythiae) (2 liang); Tianhuafen (Radix Trichosanthis), Huangqin (Radix Scutellariae), Shan zhizi (Fructus Gardeniae) (each 4 liang); Huangbai (Cortex Phellodendri) (6 liang).
Grind into fine powder, drop water to form pills the size of wu zi. Take 50 pills per dose, increasing to 100 pills, taken with tea infusion after meals before bedtime.
The above formula is for conditions caused by excessive heat counter-attacking without constipation of the Zang-Fu organs. For diseases where Wind-Heat is uncontrolled, even those with slight heat can take it. Huanglian and Tianhuafen's bitter-cold properties serve as Sovereign herbs; Ju hua's bitter-sweet-neutral serves as Minister herbs; Chuanxiong's acrid-warm and Bohe's acrid-bitter serve as Assistant herbs; Lianqiao and Huangqin's bitter-slightly-cold, and Huangbai and Zhizi's bitter-cold serve as Envoy herbs. Combined, they remove heat and clear benefits, treating redness and swelling pain of the eyes.
