The above eight herbs are ground into fine powder. Honey is refined and used to bind the powder into pills, sized like *Semen Ceviae* (Chinese Chestnut) seeds. Administer fifteen pills per dose with wine, gradually increasing to twenty-five pills, taken twice daily. (For details, refer to the chapter on Deficiency Consumption, as well as the chapter on Wasting-Thirst; cross-reference is advised.)
[Zhaoliang's Commentary] Zhaoliang stated: This formula is used in the context of Deficiency Consumption (Xu Lao, a syndrome characterized by chronic weakness and wasting) to treat lower back pain, difficulty in urination, and spasm/tightness in the lower abdomen. Why is it also used here? It is likely employed due to Kidney deficiency. By using this formula to tonify the Kidney, the Qi transformation function is restored; once Qi transformation is restored, water metabolism proceeds normally, and the disease resolves. However, is the condition of "Zhuan Bao" (displacement of the bladder causing urinary retention) entirely caused by lower Jiao Kidney deficiency leading to failure of Qi transformation? Or could it be due to middle Jiao Spleen deficiency, failing to distribute essence to the bladder; or upper Jiao Lung deficiency, failing to descend fluids to the bladder; or the weight of the fetus compressing the bladder; or holding urine while engaging in sexual intercourse? All these can cause this disease. One must seek the underlying cause to treat it accordingly.
Li stated: The formula is named Shenqi Wan (Kidney Qi Pill) because Qi belongs to Yang; it tonifies the True Yang Qi of the Kidney. It contains Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia) to strengthen Kidney Water and nourish the source of urine; Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root) and Rougui (Cinnamon Bark) benefit the Fire of the Gate of Vitality (Mingmen) to transform Bladder Qi. This steams and vaporizes body fluids, unblocking the water passages, so urination becomes free. This is why Wu Ling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria) is not used, but rather Shenqi Wan.
Shechuangzi San (Cnidium Monier Powder): Used as a vaginal suppository for warming the Yin organs. (*Mai Jing* records it for female genital coldness, used as a warming agent for the Yin organs, primarily Shechuangzi San. Xu Lingtai, Cheng Guopeng, You Zaijing, and *Yizong Jinjian* agree.*)
Shechuangzi Ren (Fructus Cnidii)
The above single herb is ground into powder. Mix with a small amount of Baifen (Rice Flour) until well combined. Shape into pills the size of a jujube. Wrap in cotton and insert into the vagina; warmth will naturally ensue. ("Hehe" [mix/combine], Zhao Liang's version reads "Ling" [make/cause], which is correct.)
[Xu Lingtai's Commentary] "Zuo" refers to inserting into the vagina, similar to the term "zuo cao" [sitting on grass] used for childbirth.
[Cheng Guopeng's Commentary] Baifen is rice flour, used here to aid in binding the mixture.
[You Zaijing's Commentary] "Yin Han" refers to coldness in the Yin organs. Cold generates dampness. Shechuangzi is warm to dispel cold, and Baifen is drying to remove dampness. Since the pathology is located in the Yin organs and does not involve the Zang-Fu organs, inserting the medicine directly into the Yin organs allows self-healing.
Note from *Qianjin Fang*: "Zuo yao" refers to suppositories placed in the lower orifices.
If the Shaoyin pulse is slippery and rapid, ulcers will form in the Yin organs. If the Yin organs are eroded and ulcerated, wash them with Yelangya Tang (Wolf Bane Decoction).
[You Zaijing's Commentary] A slippery pulse indicates Dampness; a rapid pulse indicates Heat. When Dampness and Heat combine and affect the Shaoyin channel, ulcers form in the Yin organs. In severe cases, erosion and ulceration persist. Yelangya (Aconitum carmichaelii root, processed differently or referring to *Consolida orientalis* depending on historical context, often associated with clearing heat/toxins) has sour and bitter flavors, clears pathogenic heat, treats scabies and malignant sores, and expels white worms (parasites). Hence, it is selected to treat this condition.
Note from Gong Shi's *Waike Bai Xiao*: If a woman has retained semen or turbid discharge in the uterus, or engages in intercourse before menstruation has fully ceased, and fails to clean afterwards, combined with male Kidney deficiency and stagnation of pathogenic filth, it can cause swelling and sores of the penis and testicles, with urination resembling strangury. This is called "Yin Shi Chuang" (Genital Erosion Sores). However, women can also suffer from this. Based on this, "Yin Shi" belongs to the category of chancroid/syphilitic sores.
Yelangya Tang Formula (cited in *Waitai Miyao* from *Qianjin Fang* as treating genital worm sores. Note: *Qianjin Fang* cites it for treating intense itching in the Yin organs penetrating to the bone, differing from *Waitai*'s citation.)
Yelangya (3 liang ○ *Qianjin Fang* records 2 bundles)
The above single herb is boiled in 4 sheng of water until reduced to half a sheng. Wrap cotton around the end of a chopstick, the size of a silkworm cocoon, dip it into the decoction, and drip the liquid into the Yin organs four times daily.
*Waitai Miyao* citing *Gujin Luyanjian*: For women with genital erosion, suffering from central ulceration and injury. Yelangya Tang.
Yelangya 3 liang. Coarsely crush, boil in 4 sheng of water until reduced to half a sheng. Remove dregs, add vinegar (Ku Jiu), equivalent to one egg yolk, and boil until bubbling. When temperature is suitable, soak cotton in the decoction and drip onto the sores four to five times daily until healed.
When Stomach Qi descends improperly, causing flatulence through the anterior orifice with audible noise, this is due to excess Grain Qi. Guide the treatment with Gaofa Jian (Pig Fat and Hair Decoction).
[You Zaijing's Commentary] "Yinchui" refers to sound emanating from the anterior orifice, resembling flatus from defecation, continuous and unremitting, hence termed "Zheng Xuan" [truly noisy]. Excess Grain Qi implies constipation and blockage. Consequently, the descending Qi of the Yangming channel cannot follow its normal pathway (the anus) and instead exits through an alternative orifice (the anterior orifice). Pig fat and hair decoction moistens and guides the bowels; once stool passes freely, Qi returns to its proper course.
Note from *Yizong Jinjian*: The phrase "Guide with Gaofa Jian" may be a later interpolation. Below "This is due to excess Grain Qi," there should likely be six characters: "Long-term use of Helile Wan." Downward expulsion of Qi from the posterior orifice is called "Qi Li" [Flatus Diarrhea], treated with Helile San. Downward expulsion of Qi from the anterior orifice is called "Yinchui," treated with Helile Wan. This makes the text coherent and matches medicine to disease. Helile Wan uses Helile (Chebula Fruit) to secure deficient downward Qi, and Houpo (Magnolia Bark) and Chenpi (Tangerine Peel) to regulate excess Grain Qi, which is consistent. The formula was misplaced in the Miscellaneous Treatments chapter. Whether this theory is correct remains unknown; it is recorded here tentatively.
Xiao Shi's *Nuke Jinglun* states: Regarding the Yinchui syndrome in women, Zhang Zhongjing attributes it to excess Grain Qi and descending Stomach Qi. The pathogenesis here is inexplicable. Yunlai's annotation also follows Zhang Zhongjing's text, interpreting it as "Stomach excess and Intestine deficiency, Qi moves to the Bao Men [Gate of the Uterus]." But Grain Qi in the Stomach is never without excess; yet I have never heard of anyone presenting with Yinchui solely due to this. Books from thousands of years ago inevitably have gaps and doubts. In the year Jiayin, traveling in the Xiyou region, a friend, Wu Yuzhong, asked me: "There is a daughter of a wealthy family in this town who occasionally hears rustling sounds from her vulva, similar to anal flatus. Doctors everywhere do not know what disease this is." I said: "This is Yinchui syndrome, documented in Zhang Zhongjing's book." Yuzhong sighed at my extensive reading. Note that Yinchui is not a rare disease. Last year, I treated a marquis's wife with this syndrome; she soon died of consumption (tuberculosis), and medicines were ineffective.
Gaofa Jian Formula (See the chapter on Jaundice.)
Xiao'er Gan Chong Shi Chi Fang (Pediatric Worm-Eroded Teeth Formula) ([Original Note: Suspected not to be Zhang Zhongjing's formula.])
Xionghuang (Realgar) Tingli (Seed of Lepidium / Descurainia)
The above two herbs are ground into powder. Take lard rendered on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, melt it using a locust branch. Wrap the tip of a applicator with cotton (approx. 4-5 units), dip in the powder, and apply/cauterize the lesion. (Note: *Bencao Gangmu* states equal parts of the two herbs; "Day" should be read as "Month".)
[Cheng Guopeng's Commentary] When children have Gan heat in the Stomach, worms generate, causing teeth to break, erode, and rot. Xionghuang is pungent, Tingli is bitter; the pungent and bitter flavors kill worms. According to records, Zhang Zhongjing wrote a volume titled *Kouchi Lun* [Treatise on Mouth and Teeth] (Recorded in *Song Yiwen Zhi*). This text is now lost; perhaps it was scattered or omitted here? Furthermore, pediatric formulas should not appear after gynecological formulas.
Note: The end of Volume Eight of *Yuhan Jing* also records three formulas for treating children. Perhaps there was a separate Pediatric text that has been lost. These formulas might be remnants from such a text.
