治疗气短类似喘证，呼吸急促，气息提不上升，咽不下去，气道阻塞，病情危急垂危的情况。普通人只知道病势紧急，认为病位在上焦，却不知道这是元气之海无根，肝肾亏损所致，属于子午不交、气脱的证候，尤其是妇女血海空虚时最容易发生此证，适宜用此方剂来救助并缓和病情，敢称其为神效之剂。凡是诊察此类脉象，必定微细而无神气，如果脉微且兼紧，尤其容易被庸医大众误解，妄说是痰逆气滞，使用牛黄苏合丸以及青皮、陈皮、枳壳等破气药物，则会加速病情恶化导致死亡。
熟地黄（七八钱或一两） 当归（二三钱） 炙甘草（一二三钱）。如果兼有呕吐恶心或恶寒症状的，加煨姜三五钱。

治疗肾虚引起的腰脚疼痛等证候。
当归（二三钱） 熟地黄（三五钱） 山药 杜仲（二钱） 牛膝（钱半） 山茱萸（一钱） 炙甘草（八钱，或补二钱）。
治疗肺痨极度虚弱。（肺主气，气是人身体的根本。肺气既然虚弱，又被火邪克制，就会形成肺嗽、咯血、肺痿等各种证候。）
人参（二两） 天冬 麦冬 生地黄 熟地黄（四两）。制成蜜丸。
肺主气，而气的根源在丹田，所以肺和肾是子母关系的脏腑，必须肾水能够制约心火，然后火才不会刑克肺金。天冬、麦冬清肺热，……阳。
Treats conditions of shortness of breath resembling asthma, with urgent and rapid breathing, where the Qi cannot ascend and the throat cannot descend, airway obstruction occurs, and the condition is critical and life-threatening. Ordinary people only know that the urgency suggests the disease is in the Upper Jiao (Upper Burner), but they do not realize that this is due to the Root of the Yuan Qi (Primordial Qi) being rootless, caused by Liver and Kidney deficiency. This represents a failure of Zi-Wu (Midnight-Noon) intersection, constituting a Qi Collapse syndrome. This condition is particularly common in women with depleted Blood Sea (Chong and Ren meridians). It is appropriate to use this decoction to rescue and alleviate the condition; it can be boldly called a miraculous formula. When diagnosing such cases, the pulse must be fine, thready, and lacking spirit. If the pulse is thready and also tight, it is especially likely to be misunderstood by mediocre physicians as Phlegm rebellion and Qi stagnation. Using formulas like Niuhuang Suhexiang Wan or Qi-breaking agents such as Qingpi (Green Tangerine Peel), Chenpi (Aged Tangerine Peel), and Zhike (Immature Bitter Orange) will accelerate the danger.
Shudihuang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata) (7-8 qian or 1 liang) Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) (2-3 qian) Zhi Gancao (Prepared Licorice Root) (1-2-3 qian). If accompanied by vomiting, nausea, or aversion to cold, add Wei Jiang (Baked Ginger) 3-5 qian.

Made into pills using wheat paste. Use Congrong (Cynomorii Herba)...
Tiantong tonifies Lung to generate Water; Renshen tonifies Spleen to benefit Qi; Shudihuang tonifies Kidney to nourish Yin. Since the herbs bear the names of Heaven, Earth, and Man, their tonifying effects correspond to the Upper, Middle, and Lower [Jiaos].
Spleen movement... ratio.
Excluding the last three herbs, decocted in equal parts, named Sancai Tang (Three Powers Decoction), treating Spleen and Lung deficiency consumption with cough. Excluding the first three herbs, named Fengsui Dan (Phoenix Marrow Pill) (from *Zhi Yao*), treating excessive Heart Fire.

Treating severe deficiency in Pulmonary Tuberculosis (Feilao). (The Lung governs Qi, and Qi is the root of the human body. If Lung Qi is deficient and further oppressed by Fire, it results in various syndromes such as pulmonary cough, hemoptysis, and lung atrophy.)
Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) (2 liang) Tiantong (Asparagi Rhizoma) Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix) Shengdihuang (Rehmanniae Radix) Shudihuang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata) (4 liang). Made into honey pills.
The Lung governs Qi, and the root of Qi lies in the Dantian (Elixir Field). Therefore, the Lung and Kidney are mother-child organs. Only when Kidney Water can control Fire will Fire not punish Metal. Tiantong and Maidong clear Lung Heat... Yang.
