治疗虚劳不足的方剂。
以上两味药，切碎，用水一石五斗煎煮，取汁七斗。从中分出四斗曲汁来浸泡一斗酒曲，剩余的三斗用来拌饭并加入米，按照通常的酿酒方法操作。待酒酿熟后压榨取汁服用，用量根据个人意愿而定，禁忌事项如同服药规定，加倍注意调养休息。
治疗男子五劳、七伤、八风、十二痹以及内伤导致的六极。一是气极，表现为多寒痹、腹痛、喘息、惊恐、头痛。二是肺极，表现为寒痹腰痛，心下坚硬且有积聚物，小便不利，手足麻木不仁。三是脉极，表现为面色苦青、意志逆乱，喜欢恍惚失神，气息短促，状态类似悲伤哭泣之后。舌强、咽喉干燥，恶寒发热、怕风不能活动，食欲不振，头晕易怒、胡言乱语。四是筋极，表现为拘挛、小腹坚硬胀满，心痛、膝盖寒冷，四肢骨节皆疼痛。五是骨极，表现为肢节厥冷逆乱，黄疸、消渴，痈疽无故发作，重病导致浮肿如水病状。六是肉极，表现为发疰病如被击打感，不再言语，严重者至死复生，众医无法治愈。这六种情况都是六极七伤所致，并非仅仅由房事过度引起。
忧愤郁结，思虑喜怒悲欢，又随风湿之气结聚，咳嗽时呕吐，进食后食物变异，大小便不利，时常腹泻重痢，尿血、气逆、吐泻，忽冷忽热，卧不安席，小便赤黄，时常做恶梦，梦见与死人共同饮食，入墓室神庙，魂飞魄散。
筋极则损伤肝脏，损伤肝脏则腰背相互牵引，难以俯仰。气极则损伤肺脏，损伤肺脏则小便有血，视力不明。髓极则阳萎不起，停留而不交合。骨极则损伤肾脏，损伤肾脏则气短不可久立，阴部疼痛、恶寒，严重者睾丸收缩，阴部生疮湿痒，用手抓挠不停，津液流出，这都是肾病，严重者多遭受风毒，四肢顽痹，手足浮肿，名为脚弱，又名香港脚，医生认为难以治愈，此方主治这些病症。

以上三十八味药处理后筛成粉末，加入煎好的药液中，若有牛髓、鹿髓各加三升效果更佳。若小便涩滞，去掉柏子仁，加秦艽二两，干地黄六两。若阳萎失精，去掉葳蕤，加五味子二两。若头风，去掉柏子仁，加菊花、防风各二两。若小便通利但阴气虚弱，去掉细辛、防风，加山茱萸二两。若腹中寒冷，去掉防风，加干姜二两。若无其他疾病，依据原方配制。
凡是这种煎剂，在九月下旬采集药材，立冬日合制服用，至五月上旬停止；若在十二月腊日合制，经夏至至七月下旬停止。若存放经过夏天不坏，应当在房屋北面阴凉处挖地深六尺，填入沙子将药放入其中，上面再加沙覆盖，这样经过夏天也不会损坏。
女人先患热症的可以服用，患冷症的不要服用。
A prescription for treating deficiency and exhaustion (Xu Lao).
Wujiapi (Cortex Acanthopanacis), Gouqigen Baipi (Cortex Lycii Radicis) (each 1 dou).
The above two ingredients are chopped, boiled in 15 dan of water to obtain 7 dan of decoction. Take 4 dan of this decoction to soak 1 dou of yeast (Qu), and use the remaining 3 dan to mix with rice and add grain, following the usual brewing method. After fermentation is complete, press to extract the liquid for consumption. The dosage should be determined by personal preference. Observe dietary restrictions as prescribed for medicine, and pay extra attention to rest and recuperation.
This treats men's five labors (Wu Lao), seven injuries (Qi Shang), eight winds (Ba Feng), twelve bi syndromes, and internal injuries leading to six extremes (Liu Ji).
One is Qi Extreme: characterized by frequent cold bi pain, abdominal pain, panting, fright, and headache.
Two is Lung Extreme: characterized by cold bi lower back pain, hardness and accumulation below the heart, difficult urination, and numbness/insensitivity of hands and feet.
Three is Mai (Vessel/Pulse) Extreme: characterized by a bitter bluish complexion, rebellious will, mental confusion, loss of breath, resembling the state after weeping bitterly. Stiff tongue, dry throat, aversion to wind with chills and fever, inability to move, lack of appetite, dizziness, irritability, and delirious speech.
Four is Jin (Tendon) Extreme: characterized by spasms and contracture, hardness and distension of the lower abdomen, heart pain, cold knees, and pain in all joints of the four limbs.
Five is Gu (Bone) Extreme: characterized by cold reversal of limbs and joints, jaundice, Xiao Ke (wasting-thirst syndrome), spontaneous occurrence of sores and ulcers, severe illness leading to edema resembling water disease.
Six is Rou (Flesh/Muscle) Extreme: characterized by Zhu disease (pestilence/transmitted disease) feeling like being struck, muteness, and in severe cases, death followed by revival, which physicians cannot cure. These are all caused by the six extremes and seven injuries, not solely by excessive sexual activity.
Accumulated worry and resentment, excessive thinking, anger, joy, sorrow, and grief, combined with wind-dampness and qi stagnation, lead to vomiting during coughing, food transformation issues after eating, difficulty in defecation and urination, frequent diarrhea and dysentery, hematuria, qi rebellion, vomiting and diarrhea, alternating chills and fever, restless sleep, red-yellow urine, frequent nightmares of eating with the dead or entering tombs/temples, causing the soul to fly away and spirit to scatter.
Jin Extreme injures the Liver; injuring the Liver causes the waist and back to pull each other, making flexion and extension difficult. Qi Extreme injures the Lungs; injuring the Lungs causes blood in urine and blurred vision. Sui (Marrow) Extreme causes impotence and inability to engage in intercourse. Gu Extreme injures the Kidneys; injuring the Kidneys causes shortness of breath, inability to stand for long periods, genital pain, aversion to cold, and in severe cases, retraction of the testes, sores/dampness/itching in the genital area, constant scratching with discharge. These are all Kidney diseases. Severe cases often suffer from wind-toxin, resulting in stubborn bi in the four limbs and edema of hands and feet, named Jiao Ruo (weak legs), also known as Hong Kong Jiao (Gouty Arthritis/Foot Weakness), which physicians consider incurable. This prescription primarily treats these conditions.
Tianmendong (Radix Asparagi), Sheng Dihuang (Radix Rehmanniae Recens) (sliced, each 3.5 dou, pounded and pressed to extract juice completely), Bai Mi (White Honey, 3 sheng, refined), Su (Clarified Butter/Ghee, 3 sheng, refined), Gouqigen (Root Cortex Lycii, sliced, 3 dou, washed clean, boiled in 15 dan of water to obtain 1.3 dan of clarified liquid), Zhanggu (Antelope Bone, one set, crushed, boiled in 1 dan of water to obtain 5 dou of clarified liquid).
Place the above six ingredients in a large copper vessel. First, decoct Tianmendong and Dihuang over low heat. When reduced by half, combine with the others, and decoct to obtain 2 dan. Add the previously mentioned powdered herbs, and decoct to obtain 1 dan. Transfer to the copper vessel and double-boil until thick enough to stick to the palm. Form into pills the size of Chinese quince seeds (Wuzi). Take 20 pills on an empty stomach in the morning with wine, twice daily, gradually increasing to 50 pills.
Cautionary adjustments/additions: Fuling (Poria), Guixin (Cinnamomi Ramulus), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Weirui (Polygonati Odorati Rhizoma), Wujiapi (Cortex Acanthopanacis), Changpu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma), Yuanzhi (Polygalae Radix), Zexie (Alismatis Rhizoma), Shuyu (Dioscoreae Rhizoma), Baiziren (Biota Semen), Renshen (Ginseng Radix), Shihu (Dendrobii Caulis), Niuxi (Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix), Duzhong (Eucommiae Cortex), Fupenzi (Rubiae Fructus), Xixin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma), Duohuo (Angelicae Pubescentis Radix), Zhishi (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus), Chuanxiong (Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Dadou Huangjuan (Sojae Semen Praeparatum), Huangqi (Astragali Radix), Rongshurong (Cistanches Herba), Xuduan (Dipsaci Radix), Gouji (Cibotii Rhizoma), Humaizi (Sesami Fructus), Bixie (Smilacis Glabrae Rhizoma), Baizhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix), Ju Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Fushen (Poria cum Pinodia), Bajitian (Morindae Officinalis Radix), Shinan (Rhododendri Mollis Folium) (each 2 liang), Ejiao (Donkey-hide Gelatin, 10 liang), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 6 liang), Shujiao (Zanthoxyli Pericarpium), Yiyiren (Coicis Semen) (each 1 sheng), Dazao (Jujubae Fructus, 100 pieces, cooked into paste), Lu Jiaojiao (Deer Antler Gelatin, 5 liang), Manjingzi (Viticis Fructus) (3 liang).
Process the above 38 ingredients and sieve into powder. Add to the decoction. Adding 3 sheng each of Niusui (Ox Marrow) and Lusui (Deer Marrow) is especially good. If urination is obstructed/astringent, remove Baiziren, add Qinjiao (Gentianae Macrophyllae Radix) 2 liang, and Gan Dihuang (Dried Rehmannia Root) 6 liang. If impotence and spermatorrhea occur, remove Weirui, add Wuweizi (Schisandrae Fructus) 2 liang. For Tou Feng (Head Wind/Headache), remove Baiziren, add Juhua (Chrysanthemi Flos) and Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix) each 2 liang. If urination is free but Yin Qi is weak, remove Xixin and Fangfeng, add Shanzhuyu (Corni Fructus) 2 liang. If there is cold in the abdomen, remove Fangfeng, add Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) 2 liang. If there are no other ailments, prepare according to the main formula.
For this type of decoction, harvest herbs in late September, compound and take them starting from Lidong (Start of Winter) until early May. If compounded on Lari (12th month waxing day), stop taking them from Summer Solstice until late July. If stored through summer without spoiling, bury the container deep (6 chi) in sand in a shady north-facing location, covering it with more sand, so it remains undamaged through summer.
Women who have previously suffered from heat syndromes may take this; women with cold syndromes should not take it.
