丸方:定风珠。
Zhang, aged 72. On the 28th day of the first month in the Gui Chou year. The patient is elderly with deficiency in the lower jiao and excess in the upper jiao. Furthermore, it was a year governed by Jueyin (Liver/Gallbladder) on the celestial stem, coinciding with the season when Jueyin dominates the climate. This led to the stirring of Shaoyang (Gallbladder/Triple Burner) wind, resulting in pain on the right side of the head, tension and pulling sensation in the eye tendons, with great concern for damage to the eyes. Currently, treatment begins with clearing the upper jiao.

Two decoctions per day, taken for two days.
On the 30th. The Shaoyang headache has ceased. Currently, there is chest oppression and hypochondriac distension, indicating Liver-Stomach disharmony, accompanied by limb pain and lower back pain. It is proposed to harmonize the Liver and Stomach while simultaneously promoting the circulation of the meridians.

Take two decoctions.
On the 2nd day of the second month. Due to consuming cold food and napping during the day, stagnation occurred in the middle jiao, causing abdominal discomfort and diarrhea. The method of opening Taiyang and closing Yangming is applied.
Cinnamon Twig (5 qian) Poria Block (5 qian) Roasted Ginger (1.5 qian) Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome (3 qian) Pinellia Tuber (3 qian) Aucklandia Root (1.5 qian) Polyporus (3 qian) Broad-leafed Citrus Peel (1.5 qian) Alisma Rhizome (3 qian) Agastache Stem (3 qian) Nutmeg (1.5 qian, roasted)
The first decoction yields two teacups, the second decoction yields one teacup; divide into three doses.
On the 4th. All symptoms are stabilizing, except for morning diarrhea. The left hand pulse is tight, indicating the need to tonify Kidney Yang.
Nutmeg (3 qian, roasted) Schisandra Berry (1 qian) Lotus Seed (5 qian, with skin, heart removed) Psoralea Fruit (3 qian) Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome (3 qian) Chinese Euryale Seed (3 qian) Dodder Seed (2 qian) Poria Block (5 qian)
Five bowls of water, boiled down to two bowls; divide into two doses. Boil the dregs again for one bowl, take tomorrow morning.
On the 7th. Remove Dodder Seed from the previous prescription and add:
Oyster Shell Powder (3 qian)
On the 10th. Slight wind-cold invasion; treat with a mild harmonizing method using Cinnamon Twig formula.
Cinnamon Twig (2 qian) Broad-leafed Citrus Peel (2 qian) White Peony Root (2 qian, stir-fried) Poria Block (3 qian) Honey-fried Licorice Root (8 fen) Pinellia Tuber (3 qian) Fresh Ginger (2 slices) Jujube (1 piece, pitted)
Three cups of water, boiled down to two cups; divide into two doses.
On the 11th. Right eye feels dry and small; after You hour (5-7 PM), vision is obscured as if by black fog. It is proposed to use the method of clearing Liver collaterals, extinguishing Liver wind, and nourishing Liver Yin.
Platycodon Root (1.5 qian) Celosia Seed (2 qian) Glehnia Root (3 qian) Raw Licorice Root (8 fen) Chrysanthemum Tea Flower (1.5 qian) Tribulus Fruit (2 qian) Polygonum Multiflorum Root (3 qian)
After taking three doses, vision returns to normal.
Tao, on the 15th day of the second month in the Gui You year. The upper pulse is surging and large, more so at the Chi position. The left pulse is wiry and thin. There is excess above and deficiency below. Sudden aphasia, resembling stroke, is due to internal stirring of Liver wind, collateral heat, and obstruction of orifices. The condition is severe.
Rhino Horn (1 qian) Platycodon Root (1 qian) Ophiopogon Tuber (2 qian) Mulberry Leaf (1 qian) Glehnia Root (1.5 qian) Raw Softshell Turtle Carapace (3 qian) Chrysanthemum Tea Flower (1.5 qian) Licorice Root (8 fen) Tribulus Fruit (1 qian) Rehmannia Root (1.5 qian)

However, there is empty irritability, insomnia, palpitations, and dizziness, indicating that Jueyin wind has not yet subsided.

Five bowls of water, boiled down to two bowls; divide into three doses. Boil again for one cup to take.
Huang, aged 30. Internal stirring of Liver wind, with a wiry and rapid pulse. This is due to True Water failing to control Ministerial Fire, and Water failing to generate Wood. Thus, Wood becomes rigid and ascends violently, causing severe dizziness, i.e., Dian Jue (syncope/stroke). If untreated for long, it develops into Fei Zhong (stroke with paralysis). Physicians claiming it is Phlegm are mistaken. First, clear and purify the Shaoyang Gallbladder collaterals; subsequently, fill and tonify True Yin is sufficient.
