将上述药物共同研磨成粉末，用蜂蜜制成如梧桐子大小的丸剂。早晨用盐汤送服一百丸。
这也是一个广泛适用的助孕方剂。
男女交合精气，才能受孕。然而精液是由五脏所化生，并储藏于肾脏的，所以想要让肾中藏精充足，必须调理五脏，五脏功能旺盛，精液自然生成。这个方剂中，人参、五味子、天门冬、麦门冬，是补肺的药物。茯神、远志、柏子仁、酸枣仁、生地黄，是补心的药物。白术、茯苓、山药、石斛，是补脾胃的药物。熟地黄、枸杞子、菟丝子、巴戟天、牛膝、山茱萸、肉苁蓉、沙苑蒺藜，是补肝肾的药物。鹿角胶，属于气血类药材，使用它是为了促进精液的生成；鹿角霜、莲须，属于收敛固涩类的药材，使用它们是为了防止精气滑脱。像这样，五脏都得到滋养，精液每日都能生成，就能顺利交合并适宜生育了。
这六味药（指黄芩、黄连、黄柏、栀子等，虽前文未列全，但此处语境指代清热燥湿之品），属于湿热性质的药物，为什么要选用它们呢？大凡难以生育的人，大多下元虚损，而胃中的湿气侵袭体内，内生胞痹（子宫闭塞不通）、肾痹（肾脏经络阻滞）、白浊（尿液浑浊或遗精滑泄）等疾病，从而导致精液寒冷而不能生育。能够斟酌使用这几味药，那么痹症去除，就能适宜生育了。
世人认为精液寒冷的人不宜生育，主张用辛温温暖的药剂来主治，这是不可固执拘泥的。大概天地之气冲和则万物发育，北方寒冷胜气重，固然使土地不长草木。南方炎热蒸腾，也会使土地焦枯。明白精寒导致不能生育的道理，却不明白血燥也会导致无法受孕，不是高明的医生。所以叙述黄芩、黄连……

This is also a formula widely used for promoting fertility.
The union of male and female essence allows for conception. However, essence is generated by the five zang organs and stored in the kidney. Therefore, to ensure sufficient essence stored in the kidney, one must regulate the five zang organs; when the five zang organs are vigorous, essence will be produced. In this formula, Renshen (Ginseng Root), Wuweizi (Schisandra Fruit), Tianmendong (Asphodelus Root), and Maimendong (Liriope Root) are herbs that tonify the lung. Fushen (Poria with Hostwood), Yuanzhi (Polygala Root), Baiziren (Biota Seed), Suanzaoren (Ziziphus Seed), and ShengDihuang (Rehmannia Root) are herbs that tonify the heart. Baizhu (Atractylodes Rhizome), Fuling (Poria), Shanyao (Chinese Yam Rhizome), and Shihu (Dendrobium Stem) tonify the spleen and stomach. ShuDihuang (Prepared Rehmannia Root), Gouqizi (Goji Berry), Tusizi (Dodder Seed), Baji (Morinda Root), Niuxi (Cyathula Root), Shanzhuyu (Cornus Fruit), RouCongRong (Cistanche Stem), and Shayuan Jili (Astragalus Complanatus Seed) tonify the liver and kidney. LuJiaoJiao (Deer Antler Glue) belongs to the category of qi and blood tonics; it is used to promote the generation of essence. LuJiaoShuang (Deer Antler Powder) and Lianxu (Lotus Stamens) are astringent substances; they are used to secure and prevent the leakage of essence. In this way, the five zang organs are all nourished, essence is generated daily, and successful intercourse leading to offspring becomes possible.
These six items (referring to heat-clearing and damp-draining herbs such as Huangqin, Huanglian, Huangbai, Zhizi mentioned later) are of a damp-heat nature. Why are they chosen? Most people who have difficulty conceiving suffer from deficiency in the lower jiao, while dampness from the stomach invades internally, causing internal blockage diseases such as Bao Bi (uterine obstruction), Shen Bi (kidney channel obstruction), and Bai Zhu (white turbidity). This results in cold essence and infertility. If these few herbs are used judiciously, the bi obstruction will be removed, and fertility will be facilitated.
People generally believe that those with cold essence cannot conceive and advocate using acrid-warm agents as the primary treatment. This view is rigid and inflexible. The harmony of heaven and earth promotes the development of all things. In the northern regions, where cold prevails, vegetation indeed fails to grow. In the southern regions, where heat steams, the soil also becomes scorched. To understand that cold essence causes infertility but remain ignorant that dry blood prevents conception indicates that one is not a skilled physician. Therefore, the discussion of Huangqin (Scutellaria Root, *Scutellariae Radix*) and Huanglian (Coptis Rhizome, *Coptidis Rhizoma*...
