（出自《千金方》）
治疗读书容易遗忘的症状。长期服用此方，能使人聪明，使读书时不易遗忘。这种症状是由于心血不足，导致痰浊与火邪扰乱心神所致。
败龟板（用酥油炙烤） 龙骨（研成细末，放入鸡腹中煮一夜） 远志 九节菖蒲，以上四味药等分，研为粉末。每次服用时，用酒调服。
这是调理手少阴心经和足少阴肾经的药物。龟是介虫之首，属于阴物中最具灵性的；龙是鳞虫之首，属于阳物中最具灵性的；（龟板）入肾藏精，气机上达于心，可增强意志、益智开窍；菖蒲辛散以疏肝，香气以舒脾，能开通心窍而通利九窍，去除湿气和痰浊（菖蒲是水草中的精华，神仙的灵药）；另外龟能补肾（玄武即龟蛇，对应肾脏，肾主藏志），龙能平抑肝阳（青龙对应肝脏，肝主藏魂），从而使痰火消散。
（出自朱丹溪）
治疗肾水亏虚、相火亢盛引起的耳鸣耳聋、咳嗽气逆及虚热。耳为肾之窍，耳鸣耳聋都属于肾虚。肾水不足无法制约心火，肝木挟带火势冲逆向上，就会引起咳嗽气逆，也就是现在的呃逆症。对于肾脉洪大，不能承受峻猛补益药物的人适用。
黄柏（用盐、酒炒制） 知母（用盐水炒，四两） 熟地黄（用酒蒸制） 败龟板（用酥油炙烤，六两） 猪脊髓。
这是调理足少阴肾经的药物。这四味药都是滋阴补肾的药，补水就是为了降火，这就是所说的“壮水之主，以制阳光”的道理。加入脊髓，是因为它能通达肾与命门，取“以骨入骨，以髓补髓”之意。人体的肾与命门，系连于脊骨。
（又名通关丸，出自李东垣）
治疗肾虚导致的蒸蒸发热、脚膝无力、阳痿、阴部出汗，以及冲脉之气上冲引起的喘息，还有下焦邪热、口不渴但小便不通等症状。肾中有水有火，水不足则火独旺，所以产生虚热；肝肾虚弱且湿热壅滞于下焦，所以出现脚膝无力、阳痿、阴部出汗；冲脉起于……（原文此处中断）。
黄柏（用酒炒，二两） 知母（用酒炒，一两） 肉桂（一钱）。制成蜜丸。
这是调理足少阴肾经的药物。水不能胜火，治法应当壮水以制阳光。黄柏苦寒微辛，能泻膀胱相火，补充肾水不足，（黄柏与知母）常常相互配合使用，是补水的良剂。肉桂辛热，借其反佐作用，作为少阴经的引经药，这是“寒因热用”的方法（李东垣说：经文曰……关者甚……生于肺……用清燥……流而溺……石，腿……则阴无……此病……之证……阴如……之殊……又当……分气……本方去桂，名疗肾滋本丸：治疗肾虚目昏。本方去桂、加黄连，名黄柏滋肾丸：治疗上热下冷、水衰心烦（上热下冷，阳极似阴也）。单用黄柏一味，名大补丸：治疗肾、膀胱虚热（气虚者用四君子汤送服，血虚者用四物汤送服），腰股痛而足心发热；研为粉末，用姜汁、酒调服，名潜行散；治疗痛风，腰部……（原文此处中断）。
(From *Qianjin Fang*)
Treats forgetfulness in reading. Long-term use makes one intelligent and prevents forgetting while studying. This condition arises from insufficient Heart Blood, where Phlegm and Fire disturb the Shen (Spirit).
*Testudinis Carapax et Plastrum* (fried with rendered fat) *Longgu* (ground into powder, boiled overnight inside a chicken abdomen) *Yuanzhi* *Jiujie Changpu*, all in equal parts, ground into powder. Take each dose mixed with wine.
This is a formula for the Hand-Shaoyin (Heart) and Foot-Shaoyin (Kidney) meridians. The turtle is the leader of shelled creatures, the most spiritual of Yin entities; the dragon is the leader of scaled creatures, the most spiritual of Yang entities; [The turtle shell] enters the Kidney to store Essence, its Qi ascends to the Heart, strengthening willpower and enhancing intelligence; *Changpu* disperses Liver Qi via its acridity and soothes the Spleen via its fragrance, opening the orifices of the Heart and benefiting the nine orifices, eliminating Dampness and Phlegm (*Changpu* is the essence of aquatic plants, a spiritual herb of immortals); furthermore, the turtle tonifies the Kidney (Xuanwu, the turtle and snake, corresponds to the Kidney, which stores Zhi [Will]); the dragon calms the Liver (Qinglong corresponds to the Liver, which houses Hun [Ethereal Soul]), thereby dissipating Phlegm and Fire.
(From Zhu Danxi)
Treats tinnitus and deafness, cough with rebellious Qi, and deficiency heat caused by Kidney Water deficiency and blazing Fire. The ear is the orifice of the Kidney; tinnitus and deafness all belong to Kidney deficiency. When Water fails to control Fire, Wood carries the Fire's momentum upward in rebellion, causing cough and rebellious Qi, i.e., hiccup as seen today. It is suitable for those with a flooding Kidney pulse who cannot tolerate harsh tonification.
*Huangbai* (stir-fried with salt and wine) *Zhimu* (stir-fried with salt water, 4 liang) *Shudihuang* (steamed with wine) *Baiguiban* (fried with rendered fat, 6 liang) *Zhujingsui* (pig spinal marrow).
This is a formula for the Foot-Shaoyin (Kidney) meridian. These four herbs are all drugs that nourish Yin and tonify the Kidney. Nourishing Water is the way to descend Fire; this is what is meant by "strengthening the master of Water to control the sunlight" (excess Yang). Adding spinal marrow is because it can unblock the Kidney and Mingmen, utilizing the principle of "bone entering bone, marrow replenishing marrow." The body's Kidney and Mingmen are connected to the vertebral column.
(Also known as Tongguan Wan, from Li Dongyuan)
Treats steaming heat due to Kidney deficiency, weakness of the feet and knees, impotence, sweating of the genitalia, wheezing due to Chong Mai Qi rebelling upward, and pathogenic heat in the Lower Jiao characterized by no thirst but urinary retention. In the Kidney, there is Water and Fire; when Water is insufficient, Fire reigns alone, causing deficiency heat; when Liver and Kidney are deficient and Damp-Heat stagnates in the Lower Jiao, it causes weakness of the feet and knees, impotence, and genital sweating; the Chong Mai originates from...

*Huangbai* (stir-fried with wine, 2 liang) *Zhimu* (stir-fried with wine, 1 liang) *Rougui* (1 qian). Made into honey pills.
This is a formula for the Foot-Shaoyin (Kidney) meridian. When Water cannot overcome Fire, the method should be to strengthen Water to control Yang. *Huangbai* is bitter, cold, and slightly acrid, clearing Minister Fire from the Bladder and supplementing insufficient Kidney Water; [it is often used with *Zhimu*], forming an excellent agent for nourishing Water. *Rougui* is acrid and hot; borrowed for its counter-assistance role, it serves as a guiding herb for the Shaoyin meridian, employing "cold treatment using hot substances" (Li Dongyuan said: The Classic states... Guan zhe shen... sheng yu Fei... yong Qing Zao... liu er niao... shi, tui... ze yin wu... ci bing... zhi zheng... yin ru... zhi shu... you dang... fen qi... If Gui is removed from this formula, it is named Liaoshen Ziben Wan: treats dim vision due to Kidney deficiency. If Gui is removed and Huanglian is added, it is named Huangbai Zishen Wan: treats upper heat and lower cold, heart vexation due to Water decline (upper heat and lower cold is extreme Yang resembling Yin). Using only Huangbai alone is named Dabu Wan: treats deficiency heat of the Kidney and Bladder (those with Qi deficiency take it with Sizijunzi Tang, those with Blood deficiency take it with Siwu Tang), pain in the waist and thighs with heat in the soles of the feet; ground into powder, taken mixed with ginger juice and wine, it is named Qianxing San; treats gout, waist...
