理中者，理中焦之气，以交于阴阳也。上焦属阳，下焦属阴，而中焦则为阴阳相偶之处。

皆不及于汤，恐汤性易输易化，无留恋之能，少致和之功耳。人参、甘草甘以和阴也，白术
、干姜辛以和阳也。辛甘相辅以处中，则阴阳自然和顺矣。

吴茱萸汤，厥阴阳明药也。厥阴为两阴交尽，而一阳生气实寓于中，故仲景治厥阴以护

人参三两，甘草三两（炙），白术三两，干姜三两。
以上四味药，捣碎并筛成细末，用蜂蜜调和制成丸剂，大小如同鸡蛋黄。服用方法：取少量沸水冲服一丸，将丸药研碎后，温服。每日服用三到四次，夜间服用两次。如果服药后腹部没有感到温热，可增加剂量至每次三到四丸。然而，丸药的疗效不如汤剂。汤剂的用法：将上述四味药各切为原量，用水八升，煎煮至剩余三升，滤去药渣，温服一升，每日服用三次。加减法：理中丸/汤的作用是调理中焦之气，以沟通阴阳。上焦属阳，下焦属阴，而中焦则是阴阳相合之处。这些都不如汤剂，恐怕是因为汤剂性质易于输布和消化，没有留恋滞留的能力，从而难以达到调和的功效。人参、甘草味甘以调和阴气，白术、干姜味辛以调和阳气。辛味与甘味相辅相成以处于中焦，则阴阳自然和谐顺遂。
桂枝四两，甘草四两（炙），人参三两，白术三两，干姜三两。
以上五味药，用水九升，先煎煮前四味药，取汁四升，滤去药渣，再加入桂枝继续煎煮，取汁三升，滤去药渣，温服。
理中汤中加入人参，减去桂枝汤中的芍药，不称为理中汤，而称为桂枝人参汤，意思是桂枝与理中汤分别在外表和内部发挥作用。
吴茱萸一升（洗净），人参三两，生姜六两（切片），大枣十二枚（掰开）。
以上四味药，用水七升，煎煮至剩余二升，滤去药渣，温服七合，每日服用三次。
吴茱萸汤是治疗厥阴病和阳明病的药物。厥阴经是两条阴经交汇的尽头，而一阳的生气实际上蕴含在其中，所以张仲景治疗厥阴病以保护生气，因此使用人参……
Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix) 3 liang, Gan Cao (Licorice Radix et Rhizoma) 3 liang (roasted), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) 3 liang, Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) 3 liang.
The above four herbs are crushed, sifted into powder, and mixed with honey to form pills the size of a chicken egg yolk [Method]. For administration, dissolve one pill in a small amount of boiling water, crush it, and take warm [Method]. Take three to four times daily, and twice at night [Method]. If warmth is not felt in the abdomen, increase the dose to three or four pills per administration [Method]. However, the efficacy of the pill is inferior to that of the decoction. Decoction method: Cut the four herbs according to the specified weights [Method], add eight sheng of water, boil until three sheng remain, remove the dregs [Method], take one sheng warm [Method], three times daily [Method]. Modifications: Li Zhong (Regulate the Middle) regulates the Qi of the Middle Jiao to facilitate interaction between Yin and Yang. The Upper Jiao belongs to Yang, the Lower Jiao belongs to Yin, and the Middle Jiao is the place where Yin and Yang interact. These are all inferior to the decoction, likely because the decoction's nature is easily distributed and transformed, lacking the ability to linger, thus failing to achieve sufficient harmonizing effects. Ren Shen and Gan Cao are sweet to harmonize Yin; Bai Zhu and Gan Jiang are acrid to harmonize Yang. Acrid and sweet flavors assist each other in the center, so Yin and Yang naturally become harmonious and smooth.
Gui Zhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) 4 liang, Gan Cao (Licorice Radix et Rhizoma) 4 liang (roasted), Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix) 3 liang, Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) 3 liang, Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) 3 liang.
The above five herbs are added to nine sheng of water. First, boil the first four herbs, obtain four sheng of liquid, remove the dregs [Method], then add Gui Zhi and continue boiling until three sheng remain, remove the dregs [Method], and take warm.
Li Zhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction) adds Ren Shen, and Gui Zhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) removes Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix). It is not called Li Zhong Tang but Gui Zhi Ren Shen Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Ginseng Decoction), indicating that Gui Zhi and Li Zhong work separately on the exterior and interior respectively.
Wu Zhu Yu (Evodiae Fructus) 1 sheng (washed), Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix) 3 liang, Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) 6 liang (sliced), Da Zao (Jujubae Fructus) 12 pieces (split).
The above four herbs are added to seven sheng of water, boiled until two sheng remain, remove the dregs [Method], take seven ge warm [Method], three times daily [Method].
Wu Zhu Yu Tang (Evodia Decoction) is a formula for Jue Yin (Terminal Yin) and Yang Ming (Yang Brightness) diseases. Jue Yin represents the convergence of two Yin meridians, while a spark of Yang Sheng Qi (Vital Qi) resides within it. Therefore, Zhang Zhong Jing treats Jue Yin by protecting this Sheng Qi, hence using Ren Shen...
