Therefore, it is said that the disease of "green tendons pulling" (the prescription is recorded in the Upper Volume of *Shanghan Lun*).
Bian Que stated: Moxibustion on Ganshu (Liver Shu) and Feishu (Lung Shu) acupoints primarily treats pain and pulling sensations caused by erysipelas. One should treat according to the root cause, harmonize Yang Qi, and regulate Yin Qi, so that diseases of the Zang-Fu organs will not arise.
(Four pulse patterns, eleven prescriptions, one moxibustion method are included in this section.)
Liver Excess-Heat Syndrome:
When the Yin pulse at the Guan position on the left hand is solid/excessive, it indicates a pathology of the Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian. The symptoms include bitter pain in the heart region, hardness and fullness below the heart, frequent pain in both hypochondriac regions, shortness of breath, and a resentful demeanor resembling anger. This is termed Liver Excess-Heat.
To treat Liver Excess-Heat, clear latent pathogenic heat from Yang, relieve panting and counterflow qi, chest oppression, fearfulness, blurred vision, unprovoked mania, palpitations, and incoherent speech, use Zhuli Xi Re Tang (Bamboo Sap Decoction to Drain Heat).
Ingredients: Zhuli (Bamboo Sap, 1 sheng), Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba, 3 fen), Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum, 8 fen), Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens), Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, each 4 fen), Daqing (Arnebiae Radix seu Lithospermi Radix), Zhizi Ren (Gardeniae Fructus), Shengma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma), Fuling (Poria, each 3 fen), Xuanshen (Scrophulariae Radix), Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma, each 3 fen), Shengge (Puerariae Radix, 8 fen).
The above twelve ingredients are coarsely crushed. Boil in 9 sheng of water until reduced to 2.5 sheng. Strain the dregs, add Zhuli (Bamboo Sap), and boil for two or three boils. Divide into three doses. If purgation is required, add Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas, 3 fen), remove Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), and increase Shengdihuang (Rehmanniae Radix, 5 fen). (Note: The prescription in *Shanfan Fang* does not contain Shigao, Shengjiang, or Shaoyao.)
To treat eye pain, chest fullness, and obstructive shortness of breath caused by Liver Excess-Heat, thereby draining the Liver.
Ingredients: Qianhu (Peucedani Radix), Qinpi (Fraxini Cortex), Xixin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma), Zhizi Ren (Gardeniae Fructus), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix), Shengma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma), Ruiren (Pruni Semen Persicae? Note: Usually refers to Prunus mume seed or similar, here likely Ruiren/Prunus seed or specific herb context), Juemingzi (Cassiae Semen), each 3 liang; Ku Zhuye (Bitter Bamboo Leaf, chopped, 1 sheng); Cheqian Ye (Plantaginis Leaf, chopped, 1 sheng); Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas, 3 liang).
The above eleven ingredients are coarsely crushed. Boil in 9 sheng of water until reduced to 3 sheng. Strain the dregs, add Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas), and divide into three doses. (Another variation includes Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix, 3 liang), totaling twelve ingredients.)
To treat dreams of anger and fright due to Liver Excess-Heat.
Ingredients: Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Fuling (Poria), Wei Rui (Polygonati Odorati Rhizoma), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Jupi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Danshen (Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), each 1 liang 3 fen; Xixin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma, 2 liang); Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 1 liang); Shengma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix), each 1 liang 5 fen; Dazao (Jujubae Fructus, 30 pieces); Shegan (Belamcandae Rhizoma, 1 liang); Suanzaoren (Ziziphi Spinosae Semen, 3 fen).
The above thirteen ingredients are processed and sifted to make a coarse powder. Place one fangcun li (a measure approximating a square inch) of the powder in a silk bag. Boil in 2 sheng of well-water (Jinghua Shui), occasionally agitating the bag. Simmer until reduced to 1 sheng. Take in divided doses, twice daily.
