五、峻补之法，盖因极虚之人，垂危之病，非大剂汤液不能挽回。程钟龄所谓尝用参附煎膏，日服数两，
而救阳微将脱之症；参麦煎膏，服至数两，而救津液将枯之症；随时处治，往往有功是也。亦即陈心典所谓虚极之
候，非无情草木所能补，如肉削之极，必须诸髓及羊肉胶之类，阴中之阴虚极，必须龟胶、人乳粉、牡蛎、秋石、
麋茸之类，阴中之阳虚极，必须鹿角胶、鹿茸、海狗肾之类是也。至其峻补之方∶气血双补，如参归鹿茸汤（聂

六、食补之法，程钟龄谓药补不如食补，凡病邪未尽，元气虽虚，而不任重补，则从容和缓以补之，相
其机宜，循序渐进，脉症相安，渐为减药，谷肉果菜，食养尽之，以底于平康。顾松园曰∶白花百合汤、麦冬
汤清肺止咳，真柿霜消痰解热，人乳为补血神品，童便乃降火仙丹，悉尼生食能清火，蒸熟则滋阴，苡仁汤肺
热脾虚服之有益，淡莲子汤、芡实粥遗精泄泻最属相宜。扁豆红枣汤专补脾胃，龙眼肉汤兼养心脾，鳇鲟鳔、
线鱼胶（同猪蹄燕窝海参或鸡鸭荤中煮烂饮汁更佳）填精益髓，凤头白鸭、乌骨白鸡补阴除热，猪肺蘸白及末，
保肺止血。以上诸物随宜恒食，此食补方法之大要也。虽然，食物有寒有热，犹人脏腑有阴有阳，脏阳而不得
性寒之物以为之协，则脏性益阳矣；脏阴而不得性热之物以为之济，则脏性益阴矣。脏有阴阳兼见之症，而不
用不寒不热之物以为调剂，则脏性益互杂而不平矣。食之入口，等于药之治病，合则于人脏腑有益而可却病
卫生，不合则于人脏腑有损而即增病促死，此食治所以见重于方书而与药物并传也。
惟食物之种不下数百，姑即日用常食之物以为辨别∶
如谷食之有面、曲、蚕豆、豆油、酒醋，是性之至温者也；若芦稷、稻米、粳米、陈仓米、黑豆、黄豆、
白豆、豌豆、豇豆，则稍
平矣；又若粟米、黍稷、荞麦、绿豆、豆腐、豆豉、豆酱，则性寒矣；此谷食之分其寒热也。
又如瓜菜之有姜、蒜、葱、韭、芹菜、胡荽、白芥、胡萝卜，是性温者也；若山药、薤菜、匏瓠、南瓜，
性稍平；又若苋菜、油菜、菠菜、 菜、白苣、莴苣、黄瓜、甜瓜、丝瓜、冬瓜、西瓜、酱瓜、诸笋、芋艿、
[Supplementing Methods]
3. Mild Supplementing Method, such as the Jingue Formula (8 liang of Cuscutae Semen, 4 liang each of Corni Fructus, Euryales Semen, Nelumbinis Plumula, and Lycii Fructus; 2 liang each of Cuscutae Semen, Rubi Fructus, and Dipsaci Radix; 2 liang of Crataegi Fructus Paste, mixed with white honey to form pills; take 3 qian per dose. All above are formulas from *Zhangshi Yitong*); for supplementing the Spirit, such as Shiwei Buxin Tang (8 qian of Poria Cum Radix Pini, 2 qian each of Ziziphi Spinosae Semen (stir-fried) and Angelicae Sinensis Radix, 3 qian each of Codonopsis Pilosula, Rehmanniae Radix Preparata, and Poria, 2 qian of Ophiopogonis Radix, 1 qian of Polygalae Radix, 3 qian of Cyperi Rhizoma Preparated, 5 pieces of Longan Aril. From Zhang Xinzai's empirical formula), Fushen Tang (4 qian of Poria Cum Radix Pini, 2 qian each of Ziziphi Spinosae Semen (stir-fried), Rehmanniae Radix, Angelicae Sinensis Radix, and Codonopsis Pilosula, 1 qian each of Poria, Polygalae Radix, Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma, and Nelumbinis Plumula, 5 fen of Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Preparated. From Chen Xiuyuan's *Yixue Shizaiyi*), Anshen Yangxue Tang (From Wu Keyi's *Wenyi Lun*), Xinshen Jiaotai Tang (From Lu Dingpu's *Lenglu Yihua*), Zhusha Anshen Wan (From Li Dongyuan's *Piwei Lun*), Tianwang Buxin Dan (1 liang each of Ziziphi Spinosae Semen and Angelicae Sinensis Radix, 4 liang of Rehmanniae Radix, 1 liang each of Biota Semen, Ophiopogonis Radix, and Asparagi Radix, 5 qian of Polygalae Radix, 1 liang of Schisandrae Fructus, 5 qian each of Poria, Ginseng, Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix, Scrophulariae Radix, and Platycodonis Radix, mixed with refined honey to form pills, divided into ten pills per liang of powder, coated with gold leaf, take one pill per dose, dissolved in water prepared with Centella asiatica, taken after meals and before bed, or can be made into small pills) and so on; these all use mild medicines as methods to regulate and supplement Qi, Blood, Body Fluids, and Spirit.
5. Severe Supplementing Method: This is because for extremely deficient individuals and critical illnesses, only large doses of decoctions can reverse the condition. Cheng Zhongling stated that he once used Ginseng and Aconite prepared as a paste, taking several liang daily, thereby saving symptoms of Yang deficiency nearing collapse; and used Ginseng and Ophiopogon prepared as a paste, taking several liang, thereby saving symptoms of Body Fluids nearing exhaustion; treating according to the timing often yields results. This is also what Chen Xindian meant when he said that in cases of extreme deficiency, emotionless herbal plants cannot suffice for supplementation. For example, when muscle wasting is extreme, animal marrow and mutton glue must be used; when Yin within Yin is extremely deficient, Tortoise Shell Glue, Human Milk Powder, Ostrea Shell, Autumn Stone, and Cervus Elaphus Antler must be used; when Yang within Yin is extremely deficient, Deer Antler Glue, Cervus Elaphus Antler, and Odorifera Testis must be used. Regarding severe supplementing formulas: for dual supplementation of Qi and Blood, such as Shen Gui Lurong Tang (Nie Jiawu's empirical formula), Shiquan Dabu Tang (3 qian each of Codonopsis Pilosula, Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, and Poria; 1 qian of Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Preparated; 3 qian each of Angelicae Sinensis Radix and Rehmanniae Radix Preparata; 2 qian of Paeoniae Radix Alba; 1.5 qian of Chuanxiong Rhizoma; 5 qian of Astragali Radix; 5 fen of Cinnamomi Cortex.

From Zhang Jingyue's New Formulas), Kanqi Tang (One piece of processed Umbilical Cord, 1 qian of Jilin Ginseng, 3 qian of Lycii Fructus, 8 qian of Rehmanniae Radix Preparata, mixed with one cup of Human Milk at the time of administration.

6. Food Supplementing Method: Cheng Zhongling said that drug supplementation is inferior to food supplementation. Whenever pathogenic factors are not fully eliminated and Yuan Qi is deficient but cannot bear severe supplementation, supplement gently and slowly, observe the opportunity, proceed step by step, ensure pulse and symptoms are harmonious, gradually reduce drugs, use grains, meats, fruits, and vegetables to complete the nourishment, to reach peace and health. Gu Songyuan said: Baihua Lily Decoction and Ophiopogon Decoction clear lungs and stop cough; True Persimmon Frost resolves phlegm and clears heat; Human Milk is the divine product for tonifying blood; Child Urine is the immortal elixir for descending fire; Sydney [likely referring to a specific food item or typo, context implies a food] raw clears fire, steamed nourishes Yin; Coix Seed Decoction benefits lung heat and spleen deficiency; Light Lotus Seed Decoction and Euryales Porridge are most suitable for seminal emission and diarrhea; Broad Bean and Red Date Decoction specifically tonifies spleen and stomach; Longan Aril Decoction nourishes heart and spleen; Sturgeon Bladder and Thread Fish Bladder (boiled with pig trotters, bird's nest, sea cucumber, or chicken/duck meat for better juice drinking) fill essence and marrow; Crested White Duck and Black-Bone White Chicken nourish Yin and eliminate heat; Pig Lung dipped in Bletillae Rhizoma powder protects lungs and stops bleeding. Consume the above items appropriately and regularly; this is the general principle of food supplementation. Although, foods have cold and hot properties, just as human Zang-Fu have Yin and Yang; if Zang Yang does not get cold-natured objects to coordinate, Zang nature becomes more Yang; if Zang Yin does not get hot-natured objects to assist, Zang nature becomes more Yin. If Zang has mixed Yin-Yang symptoms, and does not use neutral objects to regulate, Zang nature becomes mixed and unbalanced. Food entering the mouth is equal to medicine treating disease; if compatible, it benefits Zang-Fu, eliminates disease, and preserves health; if incompatible, it damages Zang-Fu, increases disease, and hastens death. This is why food therapy is valued in medical books and transmitted alongside drugs.
However, there are hundreds of food types; let us distinguish daily common foods:
