治疗精神短少、无法入睡、项部筋脉肿胀拘急难以伸展，禁忌使用甘温药物，适宜使用苦味药物。
木香、橘皮、柴胡（各一分），酒制黄芩（二分），人参、黄柏、白术、川芎（各三分），升麻（四分），苍术、麦冬、当归身、黄连（各五分），甘草、半夏（各七分），黄芪（一钱）。
将上述药材切碎，每次服用五钱，加水两大盏，煎煮至一盏，去渣滓，稍热时服用，不限定时间。
治疗头痛、头晕、眼前发黑。
生甘草、炙甘草（各二钱），防风（二钱五分），柴胡、升麻、酒制生地黄、酒制知母（各五钱），黄芪（二两），酒制黄柏、羌活（各一两）。
将上述药材捣成粗末，每次服用五钱，加水两大盏半，煎煮至一盏半，加入蔓荆子五分、川芎三分，再煎煮至一盏，去渣滓，临睡前热服。
范天之内在患有脾胃病证时，时常显现烦躁、胸中不适、大便不通，又因寒气郁结导致烦乱大作，火气不得舒展，所以怀疑体内有热。服用疏风丸后大便通畅，但病情未减，恐怕药量太少，于是再服用七八十丸，大便再次排出两次，原有症状并未痊愈，反而增加了呕吐逆气、食物不能停留、痰涎稠粘涌出不止、眼前发黑、头晕目眩、恶心烦闷、气短促迫、上气喘促无力、言语困难、心神颠倒、眼睛不敢睁开、如同处于风云变幻之中、头部剧烈疼痛如撕裂感、身体沉重如压山石、四肢厥冷、无法安卧等症状。我推测前证是胃气已经受损，又经过两次泻下，则使胃气更加虚弱，从而导致痰厥头痛发作。给予此药进行治疗：
黄柏（二分，酒洗），干姜（三分），泽泻、白茯苓、天麻、黄芪、人参、苍术（各五分），炒神曲、白术（各一钱），麦面、半夏（汤洗）、橘皮（各一钱五分）。
将上述药材切碎，每次服用五钱，加水两大盏，煎煮至一盏，去渣滓，热服，饭前服用一次即愈。这种头痛极其严重，称为足太阴脾经痰厥头痛，非半夏不能治疗；眼前发黑、头晕目眩是由于内虚风动所致，非天麻不能消除。黄芪味甘性温，能泻火、补元气、固表止汗；人参味甘性温，能泻火、补中益气；白术和苍术均味苦甘性温，能除湿、补中益气；泽泻和白茯苓能利小便以导湿；橘皮味苦性温，能益气调中、升举阳气；神曲能消食、荡涤胃中滞气；大麦面能宽中助胃气；干姜味辛性热，能涤除中焦寒邪；黄柏味大苦性寒，经酒洗后用于治疗冬季少火在泉引发的烦躁。
To treat shortness of spirit, insomnia, swelling and stiffness of the tendons in the neck making extension difficult. Sweet-warm herbs are contraindicated; bitter-flavored herbs are appropriate.
Muxiang (Costi Rhizoma), Jupi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix) (each 1 fen), Jiuhuangqin (Scutellariae Radix processed with wine) (2 fen), Renshen (Ginseng Radix), Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma) (each 3 fen), Shengma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma) (4 fen), Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix), Dangguishen (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma) (each 5 fen), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Banxia (Pinelliae Tuber) (each 7 fen), Huangqi (Astragali Radix) (1 qian).
Decoct the above ingredients into coarse pieces. Take 5 qian per dose, add two large zhan of water, boil down to one zhan, remove the dregs, and take slightly warm at any time.
To treat headache, vertigo, and blacking out before the eyes.
Shenggancao (Raw Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Zhigancao (Prepared Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (each 2 qian), Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix) (2.5 qian), Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix), Shengma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma), Jiushengdihuang (Rehmanniae Radix processed with wine), Jiuzhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma processed with wine) (each 5 qian), Huangqi (Astragali Radix) (2 liang), Jiuhuangbai (Phellodendri Cortex processed with wine), Qianghuo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix) (each 1 liang).
Pulverize the above ingredients into a coarse powder. Take 5 qian per dose, add two and a half large zhan of water, boil down to one and a half zhan, add Manjingzi (Vittaginis Fructus) (5 fen) and Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma) (3 fen), boil again down to one zhan, remove the dregs, and take hot before retiring.
Fan Tiannei presented with Spleen-Stomach syndrome symptoms, including frequent irritability, chest discomfort, and constipation. Due to cold qi stagnation causing severe disturbance and suppression of fire qi, heat was suspected. After taking Shufeng Wan (Wind-Dispersing Pill), bowel movements occurred but the disease did not subside. Suspecting the dosage was insufficient, an additional 70–80 pills were taken. Bowel movements occurred twice more, yet the original symptoms persisted, worsening with vomiting, food intolerance, profuse thick sticky phlegm, blacking out before the eyes, vertigo, nausea, irritability, shortness of breath, dyspnea with weakness, inability to speak, mental confusion, photophobia (eyes unwilling to open), sensation of being amidst wind and clouds, severe splitting headache, heaviness of body like a mountain, cold limbs, and inability to lie down comfortably. I deduced that the previous condition involved damaged Stomach Qi, and the subsequent purgations further depleted the Stomach, leading to Phlegm-Jue headache. The following prescription was administered:
Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex) (2 fen, washed with wine), Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) (3 fen), Zexie (Alismatis Rhizoma), Baifuling (Poria), Tianma (Gastrodiae Rhizoma), Huangqi (Astragali Radix), Renshen (Ginseng Radix), Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma) (each 5 fen), Chao Shenqu (Medicated Leaven processed by stir-frying), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) (each 1 qian), Maimian (Tritici Veneni Farina), Banxia (Pinelliae Tuber washed with decoction), Jupi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) (each 1.5 qian).
Decoct the above ingredients into coarse pieces. Take 5 qian per dose, add two large zhan of water, boil down to one zhan, remove the dregs, and take hot before meals. One dose cured the condition. This severe headache is termed Foot-Taiyin Phlegm-Jue Headache; only Banxia (Pinelliae Tuber) can treat it. Blacking out before the eyes and vertigo arise from internal deficiency generating wind; only Tianma (Gastrodiae Rhizoma) can dispel it. Huangqi (Astragali Radix) is sweet and warm, clearing fire, supplementing primal Qi, consolidating the exterior, and stopping spontaneous sweating. Renshen (Ginseng Radix) is sweet and warm, clearing fire, supplementing the Middle, and benefiting Qi. Both Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) and Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma) are bitter and sweet, warm, drying dampness, supplementing the Middle, and benefiting Qi. Zexie (Alismatis Rhizoma) and Fuling (Poria) promote urination to guide out dampness. Jupi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) is bitter and warm, benefiting Qi, regulating the Middle, and raising Yang. Shenqu (Medicated Leaven) digests food and sweeps away stagnant Qi in the Stomach. Dama mian (Hordei Fructus Germinatus) broadens the Middle and assists Stomach Qi. Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) is acrid and hot, scouring middle-jiao cold. Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex) is greatly bitter and cold; when washed with wine, it treats irritability caused by the Shaohuo (Lesser Fire) residing in the lower jiao during winter.
