Treats bone-steaming consumption (Gu Zheng Lao Zhai) that has not healed after prolonged treatment; three doses can eradicate the root cause, with miraculous efficacy. It is also indicated for five labors and seven injuries (Wu Lao Qi Shang), characterized by weakness, emaciation, and fever.

Note: *Ben Cao* states: Chai Hu treats emaciation due to consumption, tonifies five labors and seven injuries, boosts qi and strength, resolves phlegm and stops cough, moistens heart, lungs, and large intestine. It is an excellent herb for tidal fever and muscular heat. Qian Hu clears lung heat, transforms phlegmic heat, and promotes renewal by eliminating the old. Wu Mei stops bone-steaming from deficiency labor. Hu Huang Lian treats corpse-transmission bone-steaming and spontaneous sweating from labor-heat. To seize labor and retreat heat, is there any formula superior to this?
Treats deficiency labor with cough and hemoptysis, tidal fever, night sweats, and loss of appetite.
Ge Jie (Gecko, one pair, cleaned, fried in su), Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, 5 qian), Bai Bu (Stemonae Radix, buds removed, 5 qian), Zi Wan (Asteris Radix, taking the florets, 5 qian), Bei Mu (Fritillariae Bulbus, 5 qian), Kuan Dong Hua (Farfarae Flos, processed, 1 qian), Xing Ren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum, skin and tip removed, 8 fen), Gan Cao (Licorice Radix et Rhizoma, processed, 8 fen), Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix, 1 qian), Zhi Mu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma, 1 qian), Sang Bai Pi (Mori Cortex, 1 qian), Di Gu Pi (Lycii Cortex, 1 qian).
Grind the above twelve ingredients into a coarse powder. Take 5 qian per dose, decoct in water, and take orally.
Note: The formula intent uses Ge Jie to treat deficiency labor and corpse-transmission, alleviating cough and hemoptysis. Huang Qin drains yin-fire to retreat tidal fever, treating spontaneous sweating from deficiency labor, tonifying lung qi while draining lung fire. Ren Shen treats deficiency labor with weak phlegm and various bleeding symptoms such as hematemesis, epistaxis, and spitting blood, generating yin by benefiting yang. Kuan Dong Hua is a key herb for warming the lungs and stopping cough. Zi Wan stops upper-jiao qi rebellion, cough with purulent blood, transforms phlegm, and benefits the lungs. Bei Mu treats wheezing, cough, qi counterflow, irritability, heat, thirst, stops sweating, and calms the five zang organs.

Prepare the above nine ingredients as one dose. Add a piece of yellow beeswax, decoct in water, and take after meals.
Note: The formula logic posits that after hemoptysis, lung qi is damaged; E Jiao is used to astringe orifices and benefit the lungs. Due to excessive blood loss, Ren Shen is used to tonify yang to generate yin. Since the spleen fails to control blood, Shan Yao is used to benefit the spleen and tonify the kidney. For cough with excessive phlegm, Bei Mu is used to clear the lungs and transform phlegm. Fu Ling's role is to leach out dampness, addressing the root of phlegm production. Xing Ren's role is to moisten dryness and disperse pathogenic factors in the lungs. Gan Cao's role is to drain fire, benefit the spleen, and harmonize the middle jiao.
