Treats Taiyang disease (Taiyang disease, a syndrome caused by pathogenic factors affecting the Taiyang channel) where mild wheezing occurs after inappropriate purgation. This indicates that the exterior syndrome has not yet resolved.
Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction): Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus, 3 liang), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 2 liang), Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix, 3 liang), Dazao (Ziziphi Jujubae Fructus, 12 pieces), Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum, 50 seeds), Nongpo (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex, 2 liang).
Take the above seven ingredients, add seven sheng of water, and decoct over low heat to obtain three sheng. Remove the dregs. Take one sheng warm. Cover with blankets to induce a slight sweat.
The verse states: Wheezing arising after purgation (mild wheezing due to purgation in a Guizhi Tang pattern) and the "wheezing family" (those who have a chronic history of wheezing). In addition to Guizhi Tang, further additions are required. Add Nongpo (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex) two liang and Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum) fifty seeds.
When the Taiyang exterior syndrome is unresolved and purgation is incorrectly applied, the qi does not sink inward but rebels upward causing wheezing. Add Nongpo (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex) to broaden the chest and regulate qi, and add Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum) to descend qi and calm wheezing. Once the exterior resolves, the wheezing subsides. Compare this with the case of Taiyang disease after purgation where qi rushes upward, for which Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) may be used.
Treats cases where purgation was incorrectly applied followed by sweating, resulting in restlessness during the day preventing sleep, while quiet at night, without thirst or vomiting, no exterior syndrome, and a deep, faint pulse.
This formula is indicated.
Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, 1 liang), Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, 1 piece, raw, skin removed, broken into eight pieces).
Take the above two ingredients, add five sheng of water, and decoct to obtain one sheng. Remove the dregs. Take all at once.
The verse states: One piece of raw Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata) and one liang of Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma). Restless by day, peaceful by night. Pulse is faint, no exterior syndrome, body lacks heat. Fortunately, the residual yang has not yet perished.
Chen Wei comments: The root of Taiyang lies in Shaoyin. If Taiyang syndrome is incorrectly purged, the Yang of Shaoyin becomes deficient. If sweating is then induced, that single thread of Yang cannot sustain itself. Yang dominates the day; when Yang is deficient, it seeks assistance from its like but cannot obtain it, hence restlessness and insomnia. Yin dominates the night; when Yang is deficient, it submits and dares not contend, hence quietness at night. Furthermore: No vomiting, no thirst, deep and faint pulse, no exterior syndrome, no significant heat in the body. These distinguish the restlessness as definitely not due to external pathogens, but as a definitive syndrome of Shaoyin Yang deficiency. Since the syndrome is definitive, use Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) and Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata) to restore Yang, taken all at once. What doubt remains?
Treats body pain and a deep, slow pulse after sweating.
Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus, 3 liang), Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix, 4 liang), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 2 liang, honey-fried), Renshen (Ginseng Radix, 3 liang), Dazao (Ziziphi Jujubae Fructus, 12 pieces), Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens, 3 liang).
Take the above six ingredients, add twelve dou of water, and decoct over low heat to obtain three sheng. Remove the dregs. Divide into three warm doses, taking one sheng each time. Follow the method of Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) otherwise. (According to *Neitai Fangyi*:)
The verse states: After sweating, body pain persists and the pulse becomes deep. The Xinjia method surpasses medical circles. In the formula, Ginger and Peony are added, along with Ginseng, whose profound meaning is deep.
Chen Wei comments: This refers to Taiyang syndrome after sweating, where the pathogen is cleared but Ying (Nutritive) blood is deficient. Although body pain resembles an external pathogen, pain in those with blood deficiency failing to nourish the Ying level is inevitable. The formula uses Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) for its ability to specifically circulate in the Ying level. Add Renshen (Ginseng Radix) to tonify the source of blood generation. Add Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) to unblock stagnation in blood vessel circulation. Add Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix) for its bitter and neutral nature, intending to guide the acridity of Ginger and Cinnamon so that it does not disperse to the muscle layer to induce sweat, but instead penetrates deeply into the meridians to alleviate pain. It is called "New Addition" because Ginseng is contraindicated when pathogenic factors are abundant; here, it is newly added because the pathogen is already cleared. Commentators who believe there is residual pathogen are mistaken.
