治疗心腹部突然发作的剧烈疼痛，痛感如锥刺一般。以及宿食停滞、冷积导致的胀满症状。
巴豆（去除皮、心及内膜，制成巴豆霜一钱。） 干姜（生用，二钱） 大黄（三钱）
以上三味药，研成细末，用炼过的白蜜制作成丸剂，大小如小豆。用温水送服，每次二三十丸。孕妇禁用。按：备急丸是治疗寒实结积的峻猛药物。凡是伤寒热邪传入胃腑，出现舌苔黄黑且有裂纹刺状、嘴唇口角赤红干燥的患者，误用此药必死无疑，因为巴豆大热会损伤阴液。其他的白散、白饼子、消积丸、神保丸、酒煮丸等方剂也是同样的道理，不可不谨慎。其中神保丸、酒煮丸，记载在伤饮食门类下，杨气丸下方。（此处原文意指这些方剂在其他章节有详细记载，此处不再重复列出）。
白散（出自《玉函经》） 治疗寒实结胸证。

消积丸 治疗小儿食积发热，大便酸臭。
备急丸去掉干姜、大黄，取二十粒巴豆制成霜，加入丁香九粒，缩砂仁十二粒，共同捣碎研为细末。用三个烂乌梅肉，糊制为丸，大小如黍米。
每次服用三五丸，温水送服。
治疗三焦实热，烦躁不安，便秘。
黄连（酒煮） 黄芩（酒炒） 大黄（酒浸，三者等分）
用麻沸汤（刚煮沸的开水）二升浸泡药材。片刻后绞去药渣，分两次温服。所谓麻沸汤，就是白水在鼎中煎煮至沸腾如冒芝麻泡的状态。古方中只有降火药才使用这种方法。
三黄丸 治疗各种实热不解。
将三黄汤研为细末，用炼白蜜制成梧桐子大小的丸剂。每次服用五十丸，空腹时用麻沸汤送服。
金花汤 治疗热毒内蕴。
在三黄汤基础上去掉大黄，加入黄柏，三味药等分煎服。如果再加栀子，则名为桅子金花汤。
三补丸 治疗阴火亢盛至极无法缓解。
将金花汤研为细末，用蜂蜜制丸服用。
黄连解毒汤 治疗热邪在体内内外都旺盛。
在三黄汤基础上去掉大黄，加入黄柏、山栀，等分煎服。
金花丸 治疗积热不解。
将黄连解毒汤研为细末，用蜂蜜制丸服用。
大金花丸 治疗中焦痞满、热极，淋证、小便闭塞、尿血。
在三黄丸基础上加入黄柏，等分，滴水为丸，大小如小豆。用新汲水（冷水）送服三十丸。按：金花汤只包含黄芩、黄连、黄柏三味药。制成丸剂，则名为三补金花丸；比汤剂多了一味栀子，制成汤剂名为解毒汤；如果再加上大黄，则名为大金花丸。汤剂和丸剂虽然形式不同，但功效没有太大区别，只是取急攻时用药汤，缓祛时用药丸，略有区别罢了。
大黄黄连泻心汤（《玉函经》，即黄连泻心汤） 治疗热邪内陷，胁下痞满。
在三黄汤基础上去掉黄芩，用麻沸汤浸泡后绞汁服用。
附子泻心汤（《玉函经》） 治疗寒热不和，胁下痞结。
在三黄汤之外，另煎熟附子汁，混合均匀后服用。
三黄栀子豉汤 治疗热病时疫，头痛壮热。

在三黄汤基础上去掉大黄，加入黄柏、黄芪、生地黄、熟地黄、当归。（汪石山版本去掉黄柏，加入蒲黄）。
清心丸 治疗心热导致的神志昏迷，惊悸不安。
在三黄汤基础上去掉大黄，使用黄连三钱，黄芩二钱，加入西牛黄半钱，郁金钱半，以猪心血为丸，大小如黍米。

既济解毒汤 治疗上热下寒，大便秘结。
在三黄汤基础上加入甘草、桔梗、柴胡、升麻、连翘、当归。
人中黄丸 治疗温疫的各种热毒。
三黄汤原方使用大黄三两，黄芩、黄连各一两，加入人中黄、苍术、桔梗、滑石各二两，人参一两，防风五钱，香附一两五钱，用神曲糊制为丸。用清热解毒汤送服二三钱。（清热解毒汤方见白虎汤下方）。
这个方子专门利用伊芳尹三黄汤来大力解除湿热疫疠之邪。其奥妙全在于人中黄这一味药，以其污秽之味同气相求，直接清除中上焦的污秽热毒。配合滑石、益元散，则可以兼清渗利水道。使用苍术、香附，是为了宣畅六气的郁滞。使用桔梗，是为了清利膈上的气机。使用防风，是为了开泄肌腠的热邪。这十味祛邪散毒的药物，如果没有人参鼓舞正气，就无法施展迅扫病邪的力量。使用神曲做丸剂，是取其留滞在胃中且易于消化的特性。更需要用清热解毒汤送下，或者用人参白虎汤合升麻葛根汤，去掉粳米，加入羌活、黄芩、黄连、生地，总解内外的热毒，略微借用生姜的辛味，以运行诸药的药性，疏散各经的毒邪罢了。
三黄石膏汤 治疗热病时行，内外大热。
在三黄汤基础上去掉大黄，加入黄柏、山栀、石膏、麻黄、香豉、生姜、葱白。用清浆水煎服。半天左右如果不出汗，再服用一次。如果便秘，去掉麻黄、香豉，加大黄、芒硝。节庵捶打法，加芽茶一撮。按：这就是解毒汤，兼通了圣散、栀子豉汤的制法，而加入麻黄、石膏、葱、姜来撤除内外的热毒。如果脉数实、便秘、上气喘急、舌卷囊缩，则去掉麻黄、香豉，改用硝石、大黄，这就完全使用了伊芳尹三黄汤了。
普济消毒饮 治疗大头瘟、捻颈瘟等证候。
在三黄汤基础上去掉大黄，加入柴胡、黑参、连翘、鼠粘子（牛蒡子）、升麻、白芷、甘草、桔梗、马勃、僵蚕、板蓝根。一半用水煎服，一半用蜜制丸，噙化。气虚脉弱的，加入人参五七分。大便秘结的，加入酒大黄约一钱，轻微通下。本方去掉升麻、黑参、鼠粘子、僵蚕、板蓝根、马勃，加入荆芥、防风、羌活、枳壳、川芎、射干，名为芩连消毒汤。
当归龙荟丸 治疗肝经积热，时常发作惊悸抽搐，神志不宁，头目昏眩，咽膈不利，肠胃燥结，躁扰狂越等证候。
在三黄汤基础上加入当归、龙胆、芦荟、栀子、青黛、木香、麝香，蜜制为丸。淡姜汤送服二三十丸。
神芎丸 治疗水肿，表里俱实的患者。
三黄汤原方使用大黄、黄芩各二两，黄连半两，加入滑石、牵牛头末各四两，川芎、薄荷各半两。
滴水为丸。每次服用五七丸，增至十五丸，临睡前温水送服。如果是湿热导致的腰胁肿满，加入甘遂一两。遍身走注疼痛，加入白芥子一两。久毒热肿腹痛，加入芒硝一两。关节不利，加入羌活一两。肠胃结滞，加入郁李仁一两。腰腿沉重，加入商陆一两。本方去掉黄连、川芎、薄荷，名为导水丸。戴人将伊芳尹三黄丸变为神芎丸，每次让病患在夜间先服用百余粒，接着服用浚川散，五更时分应当排便，各种病邪排出。投药少许，再以和膈药服用，以利为度。有的五日一下，有的三日一下，病轻的一二服即止，病重的五六次才痊愈。这是擒纵缓舒的妙处，临病制宜，不是言语可以完全说明的。如果不是老年经验丰富、有大功底的人，怎么敢效仿行事呢？详方后面说，每次服用五七丸至十五丸，这是峻药缓攻的成法。这里说每次让病患先服百余丸，是急于乘元气未漓之时，为之迅扫，各有至理，不可以此妨碍彼。
浚川散 治疗水肿胀急，大便不通，大实大满证。
在三黄丸基础上去掉黄芩、黄连，使用大黄一两，加入牵牛头末、郁李仁各一两，芒硝、甘遂各半两，木香三钱。
研为散剂。每次服用二钱，加入生姜自然汁，调和如稀糊状服用。按：这是下水积的峻猛药物。火热怫郁，水液不能宣通，停滞而生湿热。在阳分不去，则化气而为胀；在阴分不去，则化积而成形。世俗之人不懂《内经》“留者攻之”的道理，只执着于补燥的药剂，导致怫郁加重，病情更加严重。戴人说：养生与攻病，本来就不相同。现在的人用补药治病，当然无效啊。
Treats sudden, severe pain in the heart and abdomen, feeling like being pierced by an awl. Also treats distension and fullness caused by retained food and cold accumulation.
*Ba Dou* (Croton Seed) [Remove skin, core, and endoderm; use *Ba Dou Shuang* (Croton Frost) 1 qian.] *Gan Jiang* (Dried Ginger) [Raw, 2 qian] *Da Huang* (Rhubarb Root and Rhizome) [3 qian]
The above three herbs are ground into powder. Form pills with refined white honey, size of small beans. Administer with warm water, 20–30 pills per dose. Contraindicated in pregnancy. Note: *Beiji Wan* is a harsh medicine for treating cold-solid accumulation. In cases where *Shanghan* (Cold Damage) heat transmits to the Stomach Fu, presenting with yellow-black cracked tongue coating and red, dry lips and mouth, misuse will certainly be fatal because *Ba Dou* is greatly hot and damages Yin. The same applies to other formulas such as *Bai San*, *Bai Bing Zi*, *Xiao Ji Wan*, *Shen Bao Wan*, and *Jiu Zhu Wan*. One must be cautious. *Shen Bao Wan* and *Jiu Zhu Wan* are recorded under the section on Food Retention; *Yang Qi Wan* is listed below. They are not repeated here.
*Bai San* (from *Yu Han Jing*) Treats Cold-Solid Jueyin Chest Bind.
Take *Beiji Wan*, remove *Gan Jiang* and *Da Huang*. Use *Ba Dou Shuang* (Croton Frost) 1 qian, add *Jie Geng Lu* (Platycodon Root Tip) and *Bei Mu* (Fritillaria Bulb) each 3 qian. Grind into powder. Mix with *Bai Yin* (rice decoction) and take half a qian. Reduce dose for frail patients.
*Lei Shi Qian Jin Wan* Treats chest distension and pain caused by cold accumulation.
Add *Yan Xiao* (Saltpeter) and *Gui Xin* (Cinnamon Twig Heart) to *Beiji Wan*.
*Bai Bing Zi* Treats pediatric abdominal masses (*Pi Ji*), coughing upon nursing, and vomiting of phlegm-saliva.
Take *Beiji Wan*, remove *Gan Jiang* and *Da Huang*. Take 20 seeds of *Ba Dou* to make frost. Add *Hua Shi* (Talcum), *Qing Fen* (Calomel), *Ban Xia* (Pinellia Tuber), and *Nan Xing* (Arisaema Rhizome) each 1 qian. Pound together into powder. Form pills with rice gruel, size of mung beans, shaped into cakes.
Take 2–3 cakes per dose, administered with scallion white decoction.
*Xiao Ji Wan* Treats pediatric food retention fever and sour-smelling stool.
Take *Beiji Wan*, remove *Gan Jiang* and *Da Huang*. Take 20 seeds of *Ba Dou* to make frost. Add 9 cloves of *Ding Xiang* (Clove) and 12 seeds of *Suo Sha Ren* (Amomum Fruit). Pound together into powder. Use flesh of 3 rotten *Wu Mei* (Mume Fruit) to form paste pills, size of millet grains.
Take 3–5 pills per dose, administered with warm water.
Treats Excess-Heat of the Triple Burner, restlessness, and constipation.
*Huang Lian* (Coptis Rhizome) [Boiled in wine] *Huang Qin* (Scutellaria Root) [Stir-fried in wine] *Da Huang* (Rhubarb Root and Rhizome) [Soaked in wine, equal parts]
Steep in two sheng of *Ma Fei Tang* (boiling water) until bubbles resemble hemp seeds. Squeeze out the dregs after a moment. Divide into two warm doses. *Ma Fei Tang* refers to plain water boiled vigorously until it bubbles like hemp seeds. Ancient formulas use this method only for fire-descending herbs.
*San Huang Wan* Treats unresolved various excess-heats.
Grind *San Huang Tang* into powder. Form pills with refined white honey, size of wutong seeds. Take 50 pills per dose, administered with *Ma Fei Tang* on an empty stomach.
*Jin Hua Tang* Treats internal entrapment of heat-toxin.
Remove *Da Huang* from *San Huang Tang*, add *Huang Bo* (Phellodendron Bark). Decoct equal parts of the three herbs. If *Zhi Zi* (Gardenia Fruit) is added, it is named *Zhi Zi Jin Hua Tang*.
*San Bu Wan* Treats unremitting extreme hyperactivity of Yin-fire.
Grind *Jin Hua Tang* into powder. Form pills with honey and take.
*Huang Lian Jie Du Tang* Treats heat-pathogen flourishing both internally and externally.
Remove *Da Huang* from *San Huang Tang*, add *Huang Bo* (Phellodendron Bark) and *Shan Zhi* (Gardenia Fruit). Decoct equal parts.
*Jin Hua Wan* Treats unresolved accumulated heat.
Grind *Huang Lian Jie Du Tang* into powder. Form pills with honey and take.
*Da Jin Hua Wan* Treats middle jiao fullness, extreme heat, strangury, urinary retention, and hematuria.
Add *Huang Bo* (Phellodendron Bark) in equal parts to *San Huang Wan*. Drop water to form pills, size of small beans. Take 30 pills with fresh drawn cold water. Note: *Jin Hua Tang* contains only *Huang Qin*, *Huang Lian*, and *Huang Bo*. When made into pills, it is called *San Bu Jin Hua Wan*; when compared to the decoction, it adds *Zhi Zi*, and the decoction name becomes *Jie Du*. Adding *Da Huang* makes it *Da Jin Hua Wan*. Although decoctions and pills differ in form, their functions are not significantly different; decoctions are used for rapid attack, while pills are used for gradual elimination, which is a slight distinction.
*Da Huang Huang Lian Xie Xin Tang* (*Yu Han Jing*, i.e., *Huang Lian Xie Xin Tang*) Treats heat-pathogen sinking inward, hypochondriac fullness and bind.
Remove *Huang Qin* from *San Huang Tang*. Steep in *Ma Fei Tang*, squeeze juice, and take.
*Fu Zi Xie Xin Tang* (*Yu Han Jing*) Treats disharmony of cold and heat, hypochondriac binding and knotting.
Decoct *San Huang Tang* separately. Prepare juice of cooked *Fu Zi* (Aconite Lateral Root) separately. Mix evenly and take.
*San Huang Zhi Zi Chi Tang* Treats febrile diseases and epidemics, headache, and high fever.
Combine *San Huang Tang* with *Zhi Zi Chi Tang*. (*Qian Jin Fang* removes *Huang Qin* and adds *Huang Bo*).
*Dang Gui Liu Huang Tang* Treats night sweats due to deficiency-heat of Ying-Blood.
Remove *Da Huang* from *San Huang Tang*. Add *Huang Bo* (Phellodendron Bark), *Huang Qi* (Astragalus Root), *Sheng Di Huang* (Rehmannia Root), *Shu Di Huang* (Prepared Rehmannia Root), and *Dang Gui* (Angelica Sinensis Root). (Wang Shishan's version removes *Huang Bo* and adds *Pu Huang* (Typha Pollen)).
*Qing Xin Wan* Treats mental confusion and palpitations due to Heart-Heat.
Remove *Da Huang* from *San Huang Tang*. Use *Huang Lian* (Coptis Rhizome) 3 qian, *Huang Qin* (Scutellaria Root) 2 qian. Add *Xi Niu Huang* (Buffalo Calculus) half a qian, *Yu Jin* (Curcuma Radix) half a qian. Form pills with pig heart blood, size of millet grains.
Coat with *Zhu Sha* (Cinnabar). Administer with *Deng Xin Cao* (Juncus Effusus) decoction. Thirty pills for a three-year-old child.
*Ji Ji Jie Du Tang* Treats upper heat and lower cold, with large bowel constipation.
Add *Gan Cao* (Licorice Root), *Jie Geng* (Platycodon Root), *Chai Hu* (Bupleurum Root), *Sheng Ma* (Cimicifuga Rhizome), *Lian Qiao* (Forsythia Fruit), and *Dang Gui* (Angelica Sinensis Root) to *San Huang Tang*.
*Ren Zhong Huang Wan* Treats various heat-toxins of warm epidemics.
The base formula uses *Da Huang* (Rhubarb Root and Rhizome) 3 liang, *Huang Qin* and *Huang Lian* each 1 liang. Add *Ren Zhong Huang* (Human Waste Charcoal), *Cang Zhu* (Atractylodes Rhizome), *Jie Geng* (Platycodon Root), and *Hua Shi* (Talcum) each 2 liang, *Ren Shen* (Ginseng Root) 1 liang, *Fang Feng* (Saposhnikovia Root) 5 qian, *Xiang Fu* (Cyperus Rhizome) 1.5 liang. Form pills with *Shen Qu* (Medicated Leaven). Take 2–3 qian with *Qing Re Jie Du Tang* (Clear Heat and Detoxify Decoction). (See *Bai Hu Tang* below for formula).
This formula specifically uses *Yi Fang Yin San Huang* (Three Yellows) to strongly resolve damp-heat epidemic pathogens. Its subtlety lies entirely in *Ren Zhong Huang*. Using its foul nature to attract similar qi, it directly clears foul heat-toxin in the Middle and Upper Jiao. Combined with *Hua Shi* and *Yi Yuan San*, it also clears and leaches the water passages. *Cang Zhu* and *Xiang Fu* are used to ventilate the stagnation of the six qi. *Jie Geng* is used to clear the qi above the diaphragm. *Fang Feng* is used to open the muscle interstices for heat. These ten pathogen-dispersing and detoxifying herbs cannot exert their rapid sweeping power without *Ren Shen* to boost the righteous qi. *Shen Qu* is used for pill formation to retain the medicine in the middle jiao and facilitate digestion. It is further necessary to administer with *Qing Re Jie Du Tang*, or combine *Ren Shen Bai Hu Tang* with *Sheng Ma Ge Gen Tang*, remove *Jing Mi* (Rice), add *Qiang Huo* (Notopterygium Rhizome), *Huang Qin*, *Huang Lian*, and *Sheng Di Huang* to comprehensively resolve internal and external heat. A slight amount of *Sheng Jiang* (Fresh Ginger) is borrowed for its acridity to circulate the properties of all herbs and disperse toxins in all meridians.
*San Huang Shi Gao Tang* Treats febrile diseases and pandemics with great internal and external heat.
Remove *Da Huang* from *San Huang Tang*. Add *Huang Bo* (Phellodendron Bark), *Shan Zhi* (Gardenia Fruit), *Shi Gao* (Gypsum Fibrosum), *Ma Huang* (Ephedra Stem), *Xiang Chi* (Fermented Soybean), *Sheng Jiang* (Fresh Ginger), and *Cong Bai* (Scallion White). Decoct with *Qing Jiang Shui* (sour grain water). If no sweat occurs after half a day, take again. For constipation, remove *Ma Huang* and *Xiang Chi*, add *Da Huang* and *Mang Xiao* (Mirabilite). Jie An's hammering method adds a pinch of sprouted tea. Note: This is essentially *Jie Du Tang*, combining the methods of *Tong Sheng San* and *Zhi Zi Chi Tang*, adding *Ma Huang*, *Shi Gao*, scallion, and ginger to dispel internal and external heat-toxins. If the pulse is rapid and solid, with constipation, panting, curled tongue, and contracted scrotum, remove *Ma Huang* and *Xiang Chi* and substitute with *Xiao* (Mirabilite) and *Huang* (Rhubarb), fully utilizing *Yi Fang Yin San Huang*.
*Pu Ji Xiao Du Yin* Treats Da Tou Wen (Big Head Plague) and Nian Jing Wen (Neck Twisting Plague).
Remove *Da Huang* from *San Huang Tang*. Add *Chai Hu* (Bupleurum Root), *Hei Shen* (Black Ginseng), *Lian Qiao* (Forsythia Fruit), *Shu Niu* (Burdock Fruit), *Sheng Ma* (Cimicifuga Rhizome), *Bai Zhi* (Angelica Dahurica Root), *Gan Cao* (Licorice Root), *Jie Geng* (Platycodon Root), *Ma Bo* (Fly Agaric), *Jiang Can* (Bombyx Batryticatus), and *Ban Lan Gen* (Isatis Root). Half is decocted in water, half is formed into honey pills for holding in the mouth. For Qi deficiency and weak pulse, add *Ren Shen* (Ginseng Root) 5–7 fen. For large bowel constipation, add *Jiu Da Huang* (Wine-processed Rhubarb) about 1 qian for mild purgation. Removing *Sheng Ma*, *Hei Shen*, *Shu Niu*, *Jiang Can*, *Ban Lan Gen*, and *Ma Bo* from this formula, and adding *Jing Jie* (Schizonepeta Spike), *Fang Feng* (Saposhnikovia Root), *Qiang Huo* (Notopterygium Rhizome), *Zhi Ke* (Aurantium Fructus), *Chuan Xiong* (Ligusticum Rhizome), and *She Ye* (Belamcanda Rhizome), names it *Qin Lian Xiao Du Tang*.
*Dang Gui Long Hui Wan* Treats accumulated heat in the Liver Meridian, manifesting as occasional palpitations and convulsions, mental unrest, dizziness, throat and diaphragm obstruction, dry intestinal constipation, agitation, and mania.
Add *Dang Gui* (Angelica Sinensis Root), *Long Dan* (Gentiana Root), *Lu Hui* (Aloe), *Zhi Zi* (Gardenia Fruit), *Qing Dai* (Indigo Naturalis), *Mu Xiang* (Aucklandia Root), and *She Xiang* (Musk) to *San Huang Tang*. Form pills with honey. Take 20–30 pills with dilute ginger soup.
*Shen Xiong Wan* Treats edema with excess conditions both internally and externally.
The base formula uses *Da Huang* and *Huang Qin* each 2 liang, *Huang Lian* half a liang. Add *Hua Shi* (Talcum) and *Qian Niu Tou Mo* (Morning Glory Seed Powder) each 4 liang, *Chuan Xiong* (Ligusticum Rhizome) and *Bo He* (Mint Leaf) each half a liang.
Drop water to form pills. Take 5–7 pills, up to 15 pills, with warm water before bed. For damp-heat causing swelling and fullness of waist and hypochondrium, add *Gan Sui* (Kansui Root) 1 liang. For wandering pain throughout the body, add *Bai Jie Zi* (White Mustard Seed) 1 liang. For chronic toxic heat-swelling and abdominal pain, add *Mang Xiao* (Mirabilite) 1 liang. For joint stiffness, add *Qiang Huo* (Notopterygium Rhizome) 1 liang. For intestinal stagnation, add *Yu Li Ren* (Prunus Seed) 1 liang. For heavy waist and legs, add *Shang Lu* (Phytolacca Root) 1 liang. Removing *Huang Lian*, *Chuan Xiong*, and *Bo He* from this formula names it *Dao Shui Wan*. Dai Ren transformed *Yi Fang Yin San Huang Wan* into *Shen Xiong Wan*, instructing patients to first take over 100 pills at night, followed by *Jun Chuan San*, expecting defecation at dawn. Various pathogens are expelled. After administering a small amount, take harmonizing diaphragm medicines, aiming for purgation. Some have one purge every five days, some every three days. Mild cases stop after one or two doses; severe cases require five or six purges. This is the subtlety of controlling speed and tension, adapting to the disease. It cannot be fully explained by words. Only those with extensive experience dare to imitate this practice. The detailed formula states taking 5–7 to 15 pills, which is the established method of using harsh drugs gently. Here, taking over 100 pills first is to swiftly sweep pathogens while vital qi is intact. Both have their rationale and should not hinder each other.
*Jun Chuan San* Treats edema and urgent distension, inability to pass stool, representing severe excess and fullness.
Remove *Huang Qin* and *Huang Lian* from *San Huang Wan*. Use *Da Huang* 1 liang. Add *Qian Niu Tou Mo* (Morning Glory Seed Powder) and *Yu Li Ren* (Prunus Seed) each 1 liang, *Mang Xiao* (Mirabilite) and *Gan Sui* (Kansui Root) each half a liang, *Mu Xiang* (Aucklandia Root) 3 qian.
Grind into powder. Take 2 qian per dose. Mix with natural juice of *Sheng Jiang* (Fresh Ginger) to a thin paste consistency and take. Note: This is a harsh drug for draining water accumulation. When fire-heat is constrained, water fluids cannot circulate, stagnating to generate damp-heat. If not removed from the Yang aspect, it transforms qi into distension; if not removed from the Yin aspect, it transforms into masses. Laypeople do not understand the *Nei Jing* principle "attack what remains." They stick to drying tonics, worsening constraint and aggravating the disease. Dai Ren said: Nourishing life and attacking disease are fundamentally different. People today treat disease with tonics, hence ineffectiveness.
