治疗命门火衰，不能温煦脾土，从而导致脾胃虚寒，食欲不振，大便稀溏不成形，或者下元（肾与膀胱等下部脏腑）寒冷疲惫、疼痛等症状。王太仆曾说：“补益火的源头，以消除阴寒之邪”，指的就是这种治法。即在前文提到的六味地黄丸基础上，加入肉桂和制附子各一两。
治疗男女气血严重亏损，精神失守，病情危重急迫等症。这是回天之力、赞化育之功，挽救根本、培补元气的第一要方：人参（补气补阳，作为主药，用量少则一二钱，多则一二两）、熟地黄（补精补阴，作为辅药，用量少则二三钱，多则二三两）、山药（二钱，炒制）、杜仲（二钱）、当归（二三钱，若患者腹泻则去掉此药）、枸杞子（二三钱）、山茱萸（一钱，若患者畏惧酸味则去掉此药）、炙甘草（一二钱）。加水两盅，煎煮至七分满，在饭后较长时间温服。如果元阳不足且寒气较重者，在本方基础上加入附子、肉桂、炮姜之类，根据具体情况使用。如果气分偏虚者，加入黄芪、白术。如果胃脘部多有积滞者，不必使用本方。如果有血瘀阻滞者，加入川芎，去掉山茱萸。如果有滑泄不禁者，加入五味子、补骨脂之类。
这是壮水（滋阴）的方剂。凡是命门阴气衰弱而阳气偏胜者，适宜用此方加减来主治。

Treats the decline of Mingmen Fire (Fire of the Gate of Life), which fails to warm and transform Spleen Earth, resulting in deficiency-cold of the Spleen and Stomach, poor appetite, loose stools, or coldness and fatigue/pain in the Lower Yuan (Lower Origin/Kidneys and Bladder). As Master Wang Taipu stated: "Benefit the source of fire to dissipate yin shadows," this refers to that principle. It is the previous Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill) with added Rougui (Cinnamon Bark) and Zhi Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root), each one liang.
Treats severe depletion of Qi and Blood in men and women, loss of spirit retention, and critical conditions. This is the primary formula for restoring life, assisting transformation, saving the root, and cultivating the Yuan Qi: Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, tonifies Qi and Yang, serves as the chief herb; dosage 1–2 qian if mild, 1–2 liang if severe), Shudi (Prepared Rehmanniae Radix, tonifies Essence and Yin, serves as the deputy herb; dosage 2–3 qian if mild, 2–3 liang if severe), Shanyao (Dioscoreae Rhizoma, 2 qian, stir-fried), Duzhong (Eucommiae Cortex, 2 qian), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, 2–3 qian; omit if diarrhea is present), Gouqi (Lycii Fructus, 2–3 qian), Yurou (Corni Fructus, 1 qian; omit if sour taste is aversive), Zhigancao (Prepared Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 1–2 qian). Add two zhong of water, decoct until reduced to seven-tenths, and take warm well after meals. If there is insufficiency of Yuan Yang with excessive cold, add Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata), Rougui (Cinnamomi Cortex), Paojiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Preparatum), etc., according to suitability. If Qi deficiency predominates, add Huangqi (Astragali Radix) and Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma). If there is stagnation in the stomach region, this formula should not be used. If there is blood stasis, add Chuanxiong (Chuanxiong Rhizoma) and remove Yurou (Corni Fructus). If there is slippery diarrhea/incontinence, add Wuweizi (Schisandrae Fructus) and Guzhi (Psoraleae Fructus), etc.
This is a formula for strengthening Water (nourishing Yin). For cases where Mingmen Yin is deficient and Yang is hyperactive, this formula should be modified and used as the principal treatment.
Shudi (Prepared Rehmanniae Radix, 2–3 qian or increased to 1–2 liang), Shanyao (Dioscoreae Rhizoma, 2 qian), Gouqi (Lycii Fructus, 2 qian).
Add two zhong of water, decoct until reduced to seven-tenths, and take well after meals. If there is Lung heat with restlessness, add Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix, 2 qian). If there is blood stasis, add Mudanpi (Moutan Cortex, 2 qian). If there is Heart heat, add Xuanshen (Scrophulariae Radix, 2 qian). If there is Spleen heat with easy hunger, add Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, 2 qian). If there is Kidney heat with bone-steaming fever and profuse sweating, add Digupi (Bark of Lycium Root, 2 qian). If there is reckless movement due to Blood heat, add Shengdi (Rehmanniae Radix, 2–3 qian). If there is Yin deficiency with inner restlessness, add Nvzhenzi (Ligustri Lucidi Fructus, 2 qian). If there is excess above and deficiency below, add Niuxi (Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix, 2 qian) to guide downward. If there is Blood deficiency with dryness and stagnation, add Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, 2 qian).
