第三柴胡饮(新方):三为木之成数,对应肝经的血分。凡是平素阴分不足,或者肝经血少,又偶然感受风寒的人,邪气不深,可以兼顾补益与发散;或者是病后、产后因感冒,不得不采用发散法治疗,但此时血气虚弱,无力将邪气向外驱除者,适宜用此方主治。
柴胡(二三钱) 芍药(一钱半) 炙甘草(一钱) 陈皮(一钱) 生姜(五至七片) 当归(二钱,若大便溏泄者,以熟地黄替换)
加水一盅半,煎煮至七八分满,温服。若有轻微恶寒、咳嗽呕吐症状的,加半夏一二钱。
第四柴胡饮(新方):四为金之成数,对应气分。凡是元气不足,或因忍饥挨饿、过度劳累,而外感风寒,出现六脉紧数微细、正气不能战胜邪气等症状,必须培补扶助元气,同时兼用发散之法,才可以保全生命,适宜用此方主治。
柴胡(一二三钱) 炙甘草(一钱) 生姜(三五七片) 当归(二三钱,腹泻者少用) 人参(二三钱或五七钱,酌情使用)
加水二盅,煎煮至七八分满,温服。若胸膈部有滞闷感的,加陈皮一钱。
第五柴胡饮(新方):五为土之成数,对应脾胃。脾土是五脏的根本,凡是中气不足,而外邪无法散去的……(注:原文此处似有缺漏,依文意推测为“非单纯发散可解”之意)。此方与第四柴胡饮互为表里,但第四柴胡饮仅调理气分,此方则兼补气血,以驱逐寒邪,尤其切合临床时宜,神效难以尽述。
柴胡(一二三钱) 当归(二三钱) 熟地黄(三五钱) 白术(二三钱) 芍药(一钱半,炒用) 炙甘草(一钱) 陈皮(酌情使用或不必用)
加水一盅半,煎煮至七分满,饭后稍久热服。若寒邪盛而无火者,减少芍药用量,加生姜三五七片,或者炮干姜一片,或者再加桂枝一二钱,效果更佳。脾运停滞者,减少白术用量。气虚者,酌情加入人参。腰痛者,加杜仲。头痛者,加川芎。因劳倦损伤脾阳导致阳虚者,加升麻一钱。
Third Chaihu Decoction (New Formula): Three is the number of Wood, corresponding to the Blood aspect of the Liver Meridian. It is suitable for individuals who are constitutionally deficient in Yin, or have scant blood in the Liver Meridian, and accidentally contract Wind-Cold. If the pathogenic factor is not deep-seated, it can be treated by simultaneously tonifying and dispersing; or for those who, after an illness or postpartum, contract a cold and must undergo dispersion therapy, but their Qi and Blood are weak and unable to expel the pathogen outwardly, this formula is indicated.
Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix) (2-3 qian), Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) (1.5 qian), Zhi Gan Cao (Prepared Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (1 qian), Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) (1 qian), Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) (5-7 slices), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) (2 qian; replace with Shu Di Huang [Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata] if loose stools occur).
Add 1.5 cups of water, decoct until approximately 70-80% remains, and take warm. For symptoms of slight aversion to cold, cough, or vomiting, add Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) (1-2 qian).
Fourth Chaihu Decoction (New Formula): Four is the number of Metal, corresponding to the Qi aspect. It is indicated for cases where Yuan Qi (Original Qi) is insufficient, or due to fasting and overexertion, one contracts Wind-Cold, presenting with tight, rapid, fine, and subtle pulses in all six positions, and signs of righteous Qi failing to overcome the pathogenic factor. It is necessary to tonify and assist the Yuan Qi while simultaneously dispersing the pathogen, so as to preserve life; this formula is indicated.
Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix) (1-3 qian), Zhi Gan Cao (Prepared Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (1 qian), Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) (3-5-7 slices), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) (2-3 qian; use less if diarrhea is present), Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix) (2-3 qian or 5-7 qian, use according to discretion).
Add 2 cups of water, decoct until approximately 70-80% remains, and take warm. For sensation of fullness and oppression in the chest and diaphragm, add Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) (1 qian).
Fifth Chaihu Decoction (New Formula): Five is the number of Earth, corresponding to the Spleen and Stomach. Spleen Earth is the root of the five Zang organs. For cases where Middle Qi is insufficient and external pathogens cannot be dispersed... (Note: The original text appears to have a lacuna here, implying that simple dispersion is insufficient). This formula stands in a exterior-interior relationship with the Fourth Chaihu Decoction. However, while the Fourth Chaihu Decoction only regulates the Qi aspect, this formula simultaneously tonifies Qi and Blood to drive out Cold pathogens, making it particularly applicable to clinical practice. Its miraculous effects cannot be fully described.
Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix) (1-3 qian), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) (2-3 qian), Shu Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata) (3-5 qian), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) (2-3 qian), Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) (1.5 qian, stir-fried), Zhi Gan Cao (Prepared Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (1 qian), Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) (use according to discretion or omit).
Add 1.5 cups of water, decoct until approximately 70% remains, and take hot well after meals. For cases with excess Cold and absence of Fire, reduce the dosage of Shao Yao, add Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) (3-5-7 slices), or Pao Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Preparatum) (one slice), or additionally add Gui Zhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) (1-2 qian) for better effect. For Spleen stagnation, reduce the dosage of Bai Zhu. For Qi deficiency, add Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix) as appropriate. For lower back pain, add Du Zhong (Eucommiae Cortex). For headache, add Chuan Xiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma). For spleen Yang deficiency caused by fatigue and overexertion, add Sheng Ma (Ephedrae Herba / Cimicifugae Rhizoma - *Note: Context implies Cimicifugae Rhizoma/Sheng Ma despite potential confusion with Ephedra, standard TCM uses Sheng Ma for ascending Yang*) (1 qian).
