Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) focuses on resolving the muscle layer, while Chai Hu Tang (Bupleurum Decoction) focuses on harmonizing the interior. Zhang Zhongjing used these two formulas most frequently; they can serve as a balance between exterior and interior conditions, applied flexibly according to circumstances, without any unsuitability.
Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix) eight liang, Gui Zhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) two liang (bark removed), Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) two liang, Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix) three liang, Gua Lou Gen (Trichosanthis Radix) four liang, Mu Li (Ostreae Concha) two liang (calcined), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) two liang (roasted). The above seven herbs are decocted with twelve sheng of water until six sheng remain; the dregs are removed, and it is boiled again until three sheng remain; one sheng is taken warm.
First, revealing the formula named after herbs from the Three Yang meridians: when the disease is in the Taiyang (Greater Yang) meridian and slightly involves the Jueyin (Terminal Yin) meridian, not only does the Shaoyang (Lesser Yang) pivot fail to transport outward, but also the Yangming (Yang Brightness) becomes obstructed and fails to descend.

In formulas treating Foot Meridian diseases but applied to Hand Meridian diseases, Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), Fu Ling (Poria), Long Gu (Fossilia Ossis Mastodi), Mu Li (Ostreae Concha), and Qian Dan (Lapis Martis) enter the Foot Meridians but can also circulate to the Hand Meridians. The Hand Shaoyin (Lesser Yin) Heart presents with vexation and palpitations...
