治肝家血虚火旺。头痛目眩。颊赤口苦。倦怠烦渴。抑郁不乐。两胁作痛。寒热小腹重
坠。妇人经水不调。脉弦大而虚。
逍遥散用芍当归。术草柴苓慎勿违。（柴胡当归白芍白术茯苓各一钱。甘草炙五分。加
煨姜薄荷煎。）散郁除蒸功最捷。（医贯曰方中柴胡薄荷二味最妙。盖木喜风摇。寒即摧萎。
温即发生。木郁则火郁。火郁则土郁。土郁则金郁。金郁则水郁。五行相因。自然之理也。
余以一方治木郁。而诸郁皆解。逍遥散是也。）丹栀加入有元机。（如丹皮栀子。名八味逍遥
散。治肝伤血少经枯）赵羽皇曰。此治肝郁之病。而肝之所以郁者。其说有二。一为土虚。
不能升木也。一为血少。不能养肝也。盖肝为木气。全赖土以滋培。水以灌溉。若中土虚。
则木不升而郁。阴血少。则肝不滋而枯。方用白术茯苓者。助土德以升木也。当归芍药者。
益荣血以养肝也。薄荷解热。甘草和平。独柴胡一味。
一以为厥阴之报使。一以升发诸阳。经云。
木郁则达之。遂其曲直之性。故名之曰逍遥。
○通可行滞（火气郁滞。宜从小便利之。通为轻。泄为重也。）
治心热口糜舌疮。小便黄赤。茎中痛热急不通。
导赤原来地与通。草梢竹叶四般攻。口糜茎痛兼淋沥。泻火功归补水中。（等分煎。生
地凉心血。竹叶清心气。木通泻心火而入小肠。草梢达肾茎而止痛。）
季楚重曰。泻心汤用黄连。所以治实邪。实邪责木之有余。泻子以清母也。导赤散用地
黄。所以治虚邪。虚邪责水之不足。壮水以制火也。
治疗肝脏血虚且火旺的病症。症状包括头痛、头晕目眩、面颊发红、口苦、疲倦乏力、心烦口渴、情绪抑郁不乐、两侧胁肋部疼痛、忽冷忽热、小腹部沉重下坠感，以及女性月经周期紊乱。脉象表现为弦而大且虚弱。
逍遥散由白芍和当归组成，白术、甘草、柴胡、茯苓不可违背（配伍：柴胡、当归、白芍、白术、茯苓各一钱，炙甘草五分，加入煨姜和薄荷煎煮）。此方疏散郁结、清除骨蒸潮热的功效最为快捷。（《医贯》记载说：方中的柴胡和薄荷两味药最为精妙。因为树木喜欢风的摇动，寒冷会使它枯萎，温暖则使其生长。肝木郁结则心火郁结，心火郁结则脾土郁结，脾土郁结则肺金郁结，肺金郁结则肾水郁结。五行之间相互关联，这是自然的道理。我用一方来治疗肝木之郁，从而使各种郁结都得到解除，逍遥散就是这样的方子。）若加入丹皮和栀子，便蕴含了深奥的机理（如加入牡丹皮和栀子，名为八味逍遥散，用于治疗肝损伤导致血少经闭的情况）。赵羽皇说：这是治疗肝气郁结的病证，而肝之所以郁结的原因，主要有两点说法：一是脾土虚弱，不能升发肝木；二是阴血不足，不能滋养肝脏。肝属木气，完全依赖脾土的滋培和肾水的灌溉。如果中焦脾土虚弱，则肝木无法升发而郁结；如果阴血不足，则肝失滋润而枯槁。方中使用白术和茯苓，是为了助益脾土之气以升发肝木；使用当归和白芍，是为了补益营血以滋养肝脏。薄荷用于解热，甘草用于调和药性。唯独柴胡一味药，既是厥阴肝经的引经报使，又能升发诸阳之气。《内经》云：“木郁则达之”，顺应肝木曲直生长的本性，所以将此方命名为“逍遥”。
○通利法可用于行滞（火气郁滞，适宜通过小便通畅排出。通利法性质较轻，泄法性质较重。）
治疗心火亢盛导致的口腔糜烂、舌部生疮，小便黄赤，尿道刺痛、灼热、急迫且不通畅。
导赤散原本由生地、木通、甘草梢、竹叶四味药攻治。对于口腔糜烂、尿道疼痛兼有淋沥不尽的症状，其泻火的功效归于“补水中”（即滋阴降火）。（四味药等分煎煮。生地黄能凉心血，竹叶能清心气，木通能泻心火并引导邪热入小肠，甘草梢能通达肾脏及阴茎部位从而止痛。）
季楚重说：泻心汤使用黄连，是用来治疗实邪的。实邪责在于肝木之气有余，采用“泻子”的方法以清肃“母”脏（心）。导赤散使用地黄，是用来治疗虚邪的。虚邪责在于肾水之不足，采用“壮水之主以制阳光”的方法来制约心火。
Treats conditions of Liver Blood deficiency with hyperactive Fire. Symptoms include headache, dizziness and blurred vision, flushed cheeks, bitter taste in the mouth, fatigue, irritability, thirst, depression and unhappiness, pain in the hypochondrium, alternating chills and fever, a heavy and bearing-down sensation in the lower abdomen, and irregular menstruation in women. The pulse is wiry, large, and deficient.
Xiaoyao San (Free and Easy Wanderer Powder) utilizes Shaoyao (White Peony Root) and Danggui (Angelica Sinensis). Zhuru (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome), Cao (Licorice Root), Chaihu (Bupleurum Root), and Ling (Poria) must not be neglected. (Dosage: Chaihu, Danggui, Baishao, Baizhu, Fuling each 1 qian; Zhi Gancao (Honey-fried Licorice Root) 0.5 qian; add Wei Jiang (Ginger baked in bran) and Bohe (Mint) for decoction.) It has the most rapid effect in dissipating stagnation and eliminating steaming bone disorder. (The *Yi Guan* states that Chaihu and Bohe in this formula are the most exquisite ingredients. Wood delights in wind shaking; cold causes withering, while warmth promotes growth. When Liver Wood is stagnant, Heart Fire becomes stagnant; when Heart Fire is stagnant, Spleen Earth becomes stagnant; when Spleen Earth is stagnant, Lung Metal becomes stagnant; when Lung Metal is stagnant, Kidney Water becomes stagnant. The Five Elements are interrelated, which is the natural principle. I use one formula to treat Liver Wood stagnation, thereby resolving all types of stagnation; Xiaoyao San is such a formula.) Adding Danpi (Moutan Cortex) and Zhizi (Gardeniae Fructus) contains profound mechanisms. (For instance, adding Moutan Cortex and Gardeniae Fructus creates Bawei Xiaoyao San (Eight-Ingredient Free and Easy Wanderer Powder), used to treat amenorrhea due to Liver injury and Blood deficiency.) Zhao Yuhuang stated: This treats diseases of Liver Qi stagnation. The reasons for Liver stagnation are explained in two ways: first, Spleen Earth deficiency fails to ascend Liver Wood; second, Blood deficiency fails to nourish the Liver. The Liver belongs to Wood Qi and relies entirely on Spleen Earth for nourishment and Kidney Water for irrigation. If Middle Jiao Earth is deficient, Wood cannot ascend and becomes stagnant; if Yin Blood is insufficient, the Liver loses nourishment and becomes withered. The formula uses Baizhu and Fuling to assist Earth virtue to ascend Wood; Danggui and Baishao to enrich Ying Blood to nourish the Liver. Bohe resolves heat, and Gancao harmonizes. Uniquely, Chaihu serves as the messenger herb for the Jueyin Liver channel and also ascends and develops Yang Qi. The Classics state: "When Wood is stagnant, vent it," following its nature of bending and straightening. Hence it is named Xiaoyao (Free and Easy Wanderer).
○ Tong (Unblocking) method can be used to move stagnation. (When Fire Qi is stagnant, it should be unblocked via urination. Tong is mild; Xie (Draining) is severe.)
Treats Heart Heat causing oral ulcers and tongue sores, yellow and red urine, burning pain and urgency in the urethra with difficulty in urination.
Daochi San (Guide Out Redness Powder) originally utilizes Shengdi (Rehmanniae Radix), Mutong (Akebiae Caulis), Caoshao (Licorice Root tip), and Zhuye (Bamboo Leaf) to attack the pathogen. For oral ulcers, penile pain, and dribbling, the fire-draining merit returns to "nourishing water" (tonifying Yin to subdue Fire). (Equal parts decocted. Shengdi cools Heart Blood; Zhuye clears Heart Qi; Mutong drains Heart Fire and enters the Small Intestine; Caoshao reaches the Kidney and penis to relieve pain.)
Ji Chuchong said: Xiexin Tang (Drain the Heart Decoction) uses Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma) to treat Excess pathogens. Excess pathogens are attributed to the surplus of Wood (Liver); draining the "child" (Heart/Fire) clears the "mother" (Liver/Wood). Daochi San uses Dihuang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata) to treat Deficiency pathogens. Deficiency pathogens are attributed to the insufficiency of Water (Kidney); strengthening Water controls Fire.
