Patient Yang from Guali: Suffering from Taiyin damp-malaria (Taiyin damp-malaria), the pulse is wiry, soggy, and fine. There is edema on the face and dorsum of the feet, and abdominal distension and stuffiness after eating. Temporarily suitable to employ methods to leach out dampness and harmonize the middle jiao (October 17th).

Re-examination: The malaria pathogen still recurs; the pulse is wiry and soggy, the tongue coating is slippery. Damp-heat has not yet cleared. It is appropriate to continue with the previous method with modifications.

Three doses.
Commentary by Shao Jie: The treatment of damp-malaria should distinguish whether dampness predominates over heat or heat predominates over dampness. If dampness predominates, Huopo Erchen Tang (Magnolia Bark and Patchouli Two-Chen Decoction) with modifications is used. If heat predominates, Cangzhu Baizhu Tang (Atractylodes Macrocephala and White Tiger Decoction) with modifications is used. This formula is derived from Dayuan Yin (Origin-Reaching Drink) with added damp-leaching herbs. It is indeed the correct method for cases where dampness is heavy and heat is light.
Patient Chen from Anchang: Qi deficiency leading to lingering pathogens, with cold and heat symptoms persisting for a long time. The left pulse is deficient and wiry. Sleep at night is restless. Temporarily suitable to employ Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) with modifications. (April 30th, Jiachen 14th day.)

Commentary by Shao Jie: Ke Yunbo stated: Li Gao understood that this was due to fatigue injuring the spleen and stomach, where grain qi could not sustain itself, causing yang qi to sink into the yin level resulting in fever. Thus, he formulated Buzhong Yiqi Tang. He also said: Whenever the spleen and stomach are deficient, lung qi fails first. Therefore, Huangqi (Radix Astragali) is used to consolidate the exterior and protect the cou-li (skin and interstices), preventing spontaneous sweating. When yuan qi (original qi) is insufficient, manifesting as reluctance to speak and panting, Renshen (Radix Ginseng) is used to tonify it. The sweetness of Zhi Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae Preparated) clears heart fire and relieves irritability, tonifying the spleen and stomach to generate qi. These three herbs are sacred medicines for eliminating vexation and heat. Bai Zhu (Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae) assists in strengthening the spleen, and Danggui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) harmonizes blood. When qi is chaotic in the middle jiao, with clear and turbid qi interfering with each other, Chenpi (Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae) is used to regulate it, and to disperse the stagnation caused by sweet herbs. When clear qi of the stomach sinks, Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri) and Shengma (Rhizoma Cimicifugae), being light in nature and thin in flavor, are used to guide stomach qi upward, restoring its proper position, thereby enabling it to rise and float to execute the function of growth. In this case, there is qi deficiency with lingering pathogens, and malaria has persisted for a long time without healing. Buzhong Yiqi Tang is used to raise the clear qi of the spleen and stomach. Initially, because of restless sleep at night, Fushen (Poria cum Radice et Mycelium) and Yuanzhi (Radix Polygalae Preparata) were added to calm the spirit. Because cold and heat had persisted for a long time, Shouwu (Radix Polygoni Multiflori Preparata), Weilingxian (Herba Saposhnikoviae), and Qinjiao (Radix Gentianae Macrophyllae) were added to dispel pathogens. In the subsequent prescription, Banxia (Rhizoma Pinelliae) and Niuxi (Radix Achyranthis Bidentatae) were included to dispel pathogens and tonify deficiency, addressing both root and branch. This is indeed an excellent formula for treating deficiency-type malaria. Later, I learned that this patient was over forty years old, had suffered from malaria for more than a year, and after taking several doses of this formula, he recovered completely.
