(Primarily treats Heat syndromes. Originating from *Suwen: Treatise on the Heavenly Vitality*).
When Yang Qi is overexerted and accumulates during summer, it causes Jian Jue (Jue syndrome caused by heat scorching Yin essence). The patient experiences blindness where vision cannot be perceived, and deafness where hearing cannot be received.
Ren Shen San (Ginseng Powder) is used to treat it: It manages Jian Jue with rebellious Qi, dizziness and confusion of the head and eyes, loss of hearing, blurred vision, and irritability due to the Seven Emotions.
Ingredients: Ren Shen (Panax Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Yuan Zhi (Polygalae Radix, heart removed), Chi Fu Ling (Poria Cocos with Red Bark, peel removed), Fang Feng (Saposhnikoviae Radix, tips removed; above three each 2 liang), Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix), Mai Men Dong (Ophiopogonis Tuber, heart removed), Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, white pith removed), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma; above three each 1 liang).
Grind the above into powder. Take 3 qian per dose, add 1.5 zhan of water, decoct until reduced to 0.8 zhan, strain, and take warm. Time is not restricted; administer twice daily.
(Primarily treats Liver disorders. Originating from *Suwen: Treatise on the Heavenly Vitality*.)
When Yang Qi rises violently due to great anger, the form and Qi become severed, and blood stagnates in the upper part, causing Bo Jue (Jue syndrome caused by violent anger with Qi and Blood rushing upward) affecting the chest.
Chi Fu Ling Tang (Red Poria Decoction) is used to treat it: It manages Bo Jue from violent anger, where anger injures the Liver, Qi rebels, there is discomfort in the chest, and severely, hematemesis or epistaxis occurs.

(Primarily treats Cold syndromes. Originating from *Suwen: Treatise on Yin-Yang and the Five Aspects*.)
When Clear Qi fails to ascend and remains below, Sund Xie (diarrhea with undigested food) arises. When Clear and Turbid Qi intermingle, food is not digested, and undigested grains are expelled.

(Primarily treats Heart and Abdomen conditions. Originating from *Suwen: Treatise on Yin-Yang and the Five Aspects*.)
When Turbid Qi fails to descend and remains above, distension (abdominal fullness) arises. This is due to the reversal of Yin and Yang, causing Qi to knot and not disperse, resulting in abdominal fullness and a constant sensation of satiety.
Wu Zhu Yu Tang (Evodia Decoction) is used to treat it: It manages distension caused by excess Yin generating cold, abdominal fullness and distension with a constant feeling of satiety, lack of appetite, and tasteless food intake.
