用水两大盏，煎煮至一盏，去渣，在饭后稍热时服用。剂量多少，根据当时情况斟酌。这是李东垣所制定的方子，用于治疗长夏季节土旺湿气盛的情况，不仅仅是治暑。他的论述说：暑湿蒸腾炽烈，人感受它则四肢困倦，精神短少，胸满气促，肢节沉重疼痛。或者气逆而喘，身热而烦，小便黄而频数，大便溏薄而频繁。或者痢疾如黄糜状，或如米泔水色。或者口渴或不渴，不思饮食，自汗或汗少，这是血先病而气未病，其脉洪缓。如果气血相互搏结，脉必更加迟滞。病虽然互换略有差异，但天暑湿令是一样的。适宜用清燥的方剂治疗。《内经》说：阳气，护卫体表而固密。受热则气泄，现在暑邪侵犯卫气，所以身热自汗。用黄芪甘温补益作为君药。人参、橘皮、当归、甘草甘微温，补中益气作为臣药。苍术、白术、泽泻渗利而除湿。升麻、葛根甘苦平，善于解肌热，又用风药胜湿。湿胜则食物不消化而产生痞满，所以炒神曲甘辛、青皮辛温，消食快气。肾恶燥，急食辛以润之，所以用黄柏苦辛寒，借甘味泻热。补水虚者，滋其化源，用人参、五味子、麦门冬酸甘微寒，救治天暑之伤，对于庚金为佐药，名叫清暑益气汤。
【百一十味香薷饮】消暑气，调和脾胃。
香薷（一两） 人参（去芦头） 陈皮（汤泡去白） 白术 白茯苓 白扁豆（炒、去壳） 黄芪（去芦头） 干木瓜 浓朴（姜汁制、炒黑色） 炙甘草（各半两）

加生姜一钱煎服。
[Shensi Wuyin Tang (Ginseng and Four Substances Decoction)] Treats Blood Deficiency. Qi fails to harmonize with blood, resulting in upward panting, spontaneous sweating, aversion to cold, pale complexion, floating pulse that is empty and choppy upon deep pressure. It is also indicated for patients who have previously experienced blood loss.

Crush the above herbs into coarse powder. Add two zhan of water, decoct until seven-tenths remain, and take warm.
[Sijunzi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction)] Treats True Qi Weakness, shortness of breath, and weak pulse. Adding Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) creates Yigong San (Yi Gong Powder); adding Chen Pi and Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) creates Liujunzi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction).
Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Ren Shen (Panax Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Fu Ling (Poria), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (equal parts).
Crush the above herbs into coarse powder. Take 5 qian per dose. Add one zhan of water, decoct until seven-tenths remain, and take warm after meals.
[Jiuwei Qianghuo Tang (Nine-Ingredient Notopterygium Decoction)]
Qiang Huo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix), Fang Feng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Cang Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma) (each 1.25 qian), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Bai Zhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix), Chuan Xiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Sheng Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix), Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix) (each 1 qian), Xi Xin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma) (4 fen).
Add three slices of Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) and one date. Add two zhan of water, decoct until eight-tenths remain, and take hot to induce sweating. Tao Jie'an stated: For exterior contractions in spring, summer, and autumn, presenting with headache, fever, aversion to cold, anhidrosis, floating-tight pulse, and Taiyang Exterior Syndrome, this balanced formula is suitable. Modifications should be made at the practitioner's discretion.
[Zhongjing Mahuang Tang (Mahuang Decoction by Zhang Zhongjing)] Treats Shanghan (Cold Damage) Taiyang syndrome with floating pulse, stiffness and pain in the head and nape, lower back and spine pain, fever, aversion to cold, body aches, anhidrosis, and wheezing.
Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba) (1.5 liang), Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) (1 liang), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (5 qian), Xing Ren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum, skin and tip removed) (50 grains).
Crush into coarse powder. Take 5 qian per dose. Add two zhan of water, bring to a boil, skim off the foam, then decoct until seven-tenths remain. Take warm to induce sweating. If sweating occurs, do not finish the entire dose.
[Qingshu Yiqi Tang (Clear Summerheat and Tonify Qi Decoction)]
Huang Qi (Astragali Radix) (1.5 qian, reduce by 5 fen if sweating is scant), Cang Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma) (1.5 qian), Sheng Ma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma) (1 qian), Ren Shen (Panax Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, rhizome removed), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Shen Qu (Massa Medicata Fermentata), Ze Xie (Alismatis Rhizoma) (each 5 fen), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, roasted), Huang Bo (Phellodendri Cortex, wine-soaked), Ge Gen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix), Qing Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride, pith removed), Dang Gui Shen (Angelicae Sinensis Radix caulis), Mai Men Dong (Ophiopogonis Tuber, heart removed) (each 3 fen), Wu Wei Zi (Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus) (9 berries).
Add two large zhan of water, decoct until one zhan remains. Strain and take slightly warm after meals. Dosage should be adjusted according to circumstances. This formula was created by Li Dongyuan to treat dampness prevailing during the late summer earth phase, not merely summerheat. His discussion states: When summerheat and dampness are steaming and intense, contracting it causes fatigue in the four limbs, lack of spirit, chest fullness, shortness of breath, and heavy pain in joints. Or there may be rebellious qi with wheezing, fever with irritability, yellow frequent urination, and loose frequent stools. Or dysentery resembling yellow paste or rice water. Thirst may or may not be present; appetite is poor; spontaneous sweating or scant sweating occurs. Here, blood is diseased first while qi is not, and the pulse is flooding and slow. If qi and blood struggle, the pulse becomes even slower. Although symptoms may vary slightly, the climatic influence of summerheat and dampness remains the same. It is appropriate to treat with a clearing and drying agent. The *Neijing* states: Yang qi guards the exterior and secures the interior. Heat causes qi to leak; now summerheat pathogen attacks the defensive qi, causing fever and spontaneous sweating. Huang Qi (Astragali Radix), sweet and warm, tonifies as the Sovereign herb. Ren Shen (Panax Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Ju Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), and Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), sweet and slightly warm, tonify the middle and benefit qi as Ministers. Cang Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), and Ze Xie (Alismatis Rhizoma) promote diuresis and remove dampness. Sheng Ma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma) and Ge Gen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix), sweet, bitter, and neutral, resolve muscle heat and use wind herbs to overcome dampness. Dampness prevails, food fails to digest, leading to fullness; thus, fried Shen Qu (Massa Medicata Fermentata), sweet and acrid, and Qing Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride), acrid and warm, digest food and move qi. The Kidney dislikes dryness; urgently eat acrid to moisten it. Thus, Huang Bo (Phellodendri Cortex), bitter, acrid, and cold, borrows the sweet flavor to clear heat. To tonify Kidney Water deficiency and nourish its source, Ren Shen (Panax Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Wu Wei Zi (Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus), and Mai Men Dong (Ophiopogonis Tuber), sour, sweet, and slightly cold, rescue damage from summerheat. They serve as Assistants to Geng Metal, named Qingshu Yiqi Tang.
[Baiyi Shiwei Xiangru Yin (One Hundred and Ten-Ingredient Mosla Decoction)] Clears summerheat and harmonizes the Spleen and Stomach.
Xiang Ru (Moslae Herba) (1 liang), Ren Shen (Panax Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, rhizome removed), Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, soaked in water, white pith removed), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Bai Fu Ling (Poria, white), Bai Bian Dou (Dolichoris Semen, fried, shell removed), Huang Qi (Astragali Radix, rhizome removed), Gan Mu Gua (Chaenomelis Fructus), Hou Po (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex, ginger juice processed, fried black), Zhi Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, roasted) (each half liang).
Grind into fine powder. Take 2 qian per dose. At any time, mix with hot water or cold water.
[Danggui Buxue Tang (Angelica Tonifying Blood Decoction)] Treats combined Qi and Blood Deficiency, muscular heat with aversion to cold, red face and eyes, irritability and thirst with desire to drink, flooding and large yet empty pulse that feels absent upon deep pressure. This indicates pulse deficiency and blood deficiency. This condition often arises from hunger, overeating, or labor.
Huang Qi (Astragali Radix, roasted) (1 liang), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, washed with wine) (2 qian).
Cut into pieces for one dose. Add three zhan of water, decoct until one zhan remains. Strain and take warm before meals.
[Qiongyu Gao (Jade Paste)] Treats hemoptysis and cough.
Sheng Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix, fresh, juice extracted: 4 jin), Bai Fu Ling (Poria, white: 13 liang), Ren Shen (Panax Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma: 6 liang).
Grind Ren Shen and Fu Ling into extremely fine powder. Mix with Rehmannia juice and honey. Store in a bottle, seal with paper and bamboo leaves. Simmer over sandalwood fire in a double boiler for three days and nights. Remove and soak in water for three days. Take mixed with plain boiled water.
