横则为三坎，竖则为川水，中间一点真阳，水亏则露，为龙火，□为震，震下之阳，与之同源，升为雷火，所以雷为木属，皆阴中之火也。纯阴之药，愈泼愈炽，一切草木，无能制之。当用一元丹，久服愈矣:
澹秋石五六觔（斤之异体字），红枣浆为丸。早服五六钱，晚服二三钱，以阳秋石少许点汤送下。
脉弦数，尺独大，咳而喉痛失音。乃数载失红之后，其阴亏火炎，不言可喻矣。唯有至静之品，引阳潜入阴中，庶近《内经》之旨。然须作静摄工夫，使阴秘阳密，得坎离相交之力为妙:
熟地、海石粉（捣烂）、金石斛、北沙参、茯苓、麦门冬、生白芍、龟腹板、山药。
形忽渐瘦，脉虚极，气怯偶咳，目黑脉弦，忽忽不乐。补气补血，人所知也，宜将阴兽，引入阴中，药犹得力。早晚捕獭一头，取肝阴干，用鹿角胶，各于木器杵碎。早服鹿角胶末一钱，晚服獭肝末一钱，皆开水送下。此常用百日之法，今拟煎方先服:
左关搏指急疾，右关弦大。无胃气不归元，充海无根。右关如是，当剧于春；左关如是，当折于秋。恐左关为应，勉拟古人乙癸同源之治:
此病起于费心劳碌，风寒不节，遂至咳嗽吐痰，久则内伤。内伤者，内中脏气伤也，即古人所谓虚劳证，总不得愈。必须绝去费心劳碌之事，一毫凡念不起，助之以药，或可延年：
此痧劳也。由于太阴伤损，日传至足少阴。脾气少溏，则入下藏也。百无一治，速宜返棹，闭关静养。方一首奉赠，日饮可也:
花甲之人，两尺独大。二藏已衰之际，岂宜如此?急进已癸同源之法可矣：
此真阴亏证，俗名百日劳也。稍有伏暑，所以寒热愈甚。惜乎治之不早耳：
坎中一画，真阳孤飞于上，一交已午之月，神水金丹，亦奈之何：
禀性好食辛，医书云:"多食辛，令暴卒。"今诊得色脉形骸俱惫，不须暴卒，亦不长生。自宜持其病。令先服三生欲：
此一损证也。从上损之下者。一损肺，肺再传心、传肝，传脾，传至肾，则骨痿不能于床。断不可再投理肺，以速其损。怕猪肚丸可服：
猪肚丸。
未过五旬，形脉色俱衰，叩之连丧三子。得不如是耶？况复伤其孙乎，此非药饵所能者也：
脉得数而且弦。此阴亏症也，并非外感。今以虚火升而头痛，渐有金水两伤之势。静摄乃得，药饵其次也。熟地、女贞子、麦冬、龟板、元参、澹秋石。枣浆为丸，开水送下。
肺为水主，热淫则融，融则水源竭矣。土为金毋，不承则金无生，金土金水三脏日澌，苟无玉液，神精安能返?既惫之有形，虽拟禁方，亦据古人之常谈耳：
苇茎汤。
心阴虚则易汗，肺阴虚则多嗽，肝阴虚则火升，肾阴虚则发热，脾阴虚则便塘。非一真阴乎，怯症之渐也。但知头痛医头之为良医，不知履霜坚冰至，君子其为忧危之心也:
诊得脉细数而微，舌干黄，下利，身焦燥而不润。此为下多伤阴，热邪因之而内陷，大可虑也。治法轻以清其邪，苦以泄其热。未识应否:
饮食不和者，太阴亏也。葛稚川《肘后方》有一味治虚劳之法:少阴厥阴亏者，鹿角散;太阴亏者，神曲散。今用神曲散：
真陈六神曲研细炒香四两。每食后，用开水调服二钱。
中焦为气血津液朝会之所，今诊得胃气不能脉中流布，其亦元气中馁也。酸以摄泄，辛以流动，惟甘以以培养，因增肿患而却之。拟方备阅：
厥有十四。泄为一法，镇为一法。曲直太过，不特侮土，并其上不畏金，镇法恐其格不相入，因其势而利导之，然后润之滋之。鲜有不济者:
羚羊角、金铃肉、生甘草、淡吴萸、黑穭豆、生白芍、云茯苓、川郁金汁。
仲景书云:"疟脉自弦"。一句开尽人天眼目。今三部九候之中，并无一毫弦象可见，与正气相战者，非比春之风、夏之暑、南方之瘴也。于此推之，思过半矣:
脉愈按愈大，可知阴气不足，疟邪得以深入。漏芦、鳖甲，补阴太过，非花甲劳心之体之所宜，汗泄过多，阳气亦虑，胃间伏邪，水饮不入，种种皆所一不胜也，岂宜再从汗解耶?病者小心，医者慎之:
人参、蔻仁、淡黄芩、生牡蛎、生地，陈皮、小青皮、生首乌、新谷、姜汁。
明系肝风上冒，左尺脉碎乱搏指，此乙癸同源，肾肝同病也。但少阴之脉，不至于巅，惟阴能至。以肝为重，肾次之：
羚羊角、生地、半夏、白芍、当归身、陈皮、茯苓、菊花、女贞子。
此由金水不相承挹，故咳久不愈。切勿理肺，肺为娇脏，愈理愈虚。证不可泛然滋阴。
短气失音，喉中时作水鸡声，右脉如革，面浮色痿，肺胃应之，心下痞硬。补泻纷更，动无一效。甚于水令，剧中春候。拟进苇茎越婢成汤，进饮三剂:
本属湿温，化在三焦，充斥腠理。误伤手太阴、足太阳之气，必致渐入虚损一途，非病之过，治之过也。必移入高明静虚之宝，治以百日之遥，庶几得之。拟方开太阳，益太阴:
淡干姜(同五味子捣烂)、茯苓、地骨皮、桑叶、生扁豆、生甘草。
弦动无情之脉，即名胃少。虽非《难经》所谓但弦无胃，而久病有此不宜。莫因失血而久进纯阴之药，阳气抑而阴无所寸恃也。拙见且进甘温:
病在奇经，治他经不应。要知血行清道，便知清气不肃，所以鼻红昏晕。二者皆出督脉，好异无用。以古法之法治之，自效。
生地、犀角、广圆核、侧柏叶。右蜜丸。早服五钱，晚服三钱，开水下。
暑者，热中之阴邪也。心先受之，侵入胞络。怠惰不语，神昏肢冷，为不治。今脉迟软，渐有是机，四末渐冷，竟有内闭外脱之虞。急用通阳救逆之法，仿右大顺散之义。未识何如:
右脉芤搏，耳聋，血下溢，寒热不已。阴络所伤，而厥阴不摄。当从至阴中宣出热邪，是存阴第一义也:
青青、白知母、生白芍、炒黄柏、鳖甲、鲜荷叶。元米一合，泡汤为水。
右脉一息七至弦，右脉一息六至紧（原书即为两个右脉：出自《浙江中医杂志》），咳而不得息。阴气已弱，金水同受病。且议景岳六君煎投之:
素有喘症，形气怯弱，咽痛不肿，时咳。此新感风温在肺，气不下肃。尚宜清降:
禀质既薄，咳红，极易伤阴。不可理肺，缘水出高原，肺主气母，藉以生津补液，周环百脉故耳：
昨所同议之方。以两关按之，脉弦。特借仲景旋覆代赭法，同四磨饮投之。旋渡有转旋之功，代猪为镇坠之品，咸寒可降，酸可入肝;四磨则渐摩运化，使手太阴得行清肃之令，足厥阴无克侮之暴。今诊得两关弦象已减，面浮少退，是药己应，而暴渴欲饮，则仍然如故。是则阳明之府，中垢不去，煎熬津液，下流一日不通，上流一日上泛。虽有补虚之策，孰敢泛投?且其虚脉虚象，显然彰著，势不容缓。前既借仲景之法，以退两关之弦，此独不可借仲景急去宿垢以存津液?然未可以子和霸法投之。拟以缓法，推陈致新，仍候昨日两道长印可何如:
女贞子、广皮、干桑叶、熟地、旱莲草、白芍、黑芝麻、枸杞子、鲜菊花、归身、黑穭豆、玉竹、南烛叶、白茯神、沙蒺藜、炙草。
右前十四味，各四两，后二味各二两，天泉水、桑枝火熬成膏，收入真阿胶三两，炼净白蜜三两，磁瓶贮好。每日卯时挑服五六钱，开水送下。
此方为林下服食之大药，肝气不和之妙品。贞、莲二味，法二至以暗转阴阳；佐桑麻，为调风气应候，播植生机；助以杞、菊，为升降之春秋，亦承流以宣化，归、芍辛酸，一通一泄，使无或滞之情，地黄、蒺藜，一填一养，不致肌虚之困;穭豆滋水息肝；南烛培元益气；茯神、玉竹，为营卫报使，橘红、甘草，为喉舌真司;阿胶济水造成，激浊扬清之凛冽，蜂蜜一花酿就，和风甘雨之仁慈。服之不特调元却老，且以见天地之生生有如是也。
人参、元参、五味子、远志肉、麦冬、茯神、酸枣仁、柏子仁、于术、川贝、生甘草、苦桔梗、丹参、生地、川黄连、金华香附、朱砂。
右为末，用桂圆肉熬膏代蜜，捣丸如弹子大。每晨嚼服一丸开水送下。
经云："女子以心脾为立命之根。"凡心脾气郁，郁则从火，久久不解，渐耗五阴。特制此方，有通有补，允与丹溪、立斋诸公相颉颃者。方义盖取人参养心气，麦冬益心津，生地、丹参益心阴，茯神、远志安心神，五味、枣仁收心液，川连、甘草泻心阳，桔梗利心气，朱砂镇心怯，白术健脾阳，香附畅脾阴，川贝疗脾郁，特重其数，以对待心脾二脏，龙眼代蜜，大补心血，甘草和脾。丸如弹大，细嚼吞下，不致直趋下焦，其功倍著矣。名曰心脾双补法。
治产后少腹结瘕:
人参、云母粉、当归、金铃子、生地、吴茱萸，炒血芍，炒白川芎、干漆、制香附、藕粉(生用)、老白韭根。
右为末，真神曲糊丸绿豆大。每日百丸，空心开水服下。
横着的卦象是三坎，竖着的卦象是川水，中间的一点是真阳。肾阴亏损则真阳外露，化为龙火，归属于震卦；震卦下方的阳气与它同源，上升化为雷火，所以雷属于木，这些都是阴中之火。纯阴性质的药物，只会让火势更加炽盛，一般的草木之药无法制约它。应当使用一元丹，长期服用即可痊愈：
取淡秋石五六斤（“觔”为“斤”的异体字），用红枣浆制作成丸药。早上服用五六钱，晚上服用二三钱，用少许阳秋石粉末冲汤送服。
脉象弦而数，尺脉特别大，咳嗽且喉咙痛、失音。这是数年咯血之后，阴液亏虚、虚火上炎的结果，不言而喻了。只有用性质至静的药物，引导阳气潜藏入阴中，才接近《内经》的宗旨。然而必须配合静养功夫，使阴精固秘、阳气密固，达到坎离相交的效果才好：
熟地黄、海浮石粉（捣烂）、金石斛、北沙参、茯苓、麦门冬、生白芍、龟腹板、山药。
身形忽然逐渐消瘦，脉象极度虚弱，气短怯弱偶尔咳嗽，眼前发黑，脉象弦，心中恍惚不乐。补气补血是人所共知的道理，但宜将阴兽（獭）引入阴分，药物才能得力。早晚捕杀一只水獭，取其肝脏阴干，再用鹿角胶，分别在木器中捣碎。早上服用鹿角胶末一钱，晚上服用獭肝末一钱，都用开水送下。这是常用的百日疗法，现在拟定煎剂先服用：
左关脉搏动急疾有力，右关脉弦大。没有胃气就不能归元，充养大海（指肾/元气）就没有根基。右关脉如此，病情在春季会加剧；左关脉如此，病情在秋季会折损。恐怕应验在左关，勉强仿照古人乙癸同源的治法：
此病起因于费心劳碌，风寒调摄不当，导致咳嗽吐痰，日久造成内伤。内伤是指内脏之气受损，即古人所说的虚劳证，总难以痊愈。必须断绝费心劳碌之事，不起丝毫杂念，辅以药物治疗，或许可以延年益寿：
这是痧劳。由于太阴脾脏受损，病邪每日传变至足少阴肾经。脾气虚弱大便溏薄，则病邪深入下焦脏腑。这种病百无一治，最好立刻返航回家，闭关静养。赠送一方一首，每天饮用即可：
花甲之年（六十岁），两尺脉独大。此时两肾已经衰退，怎么还能这样？赶紧采用乙癸同源的治法就可以了：
熟地黄、女贞子、菟丝饼、茯苓、玄参、旱莲草、枸杞子。制成蜜丸。
这是真阴亏损的证候，俗名百日劳。稍有伏暑，所以寒热症状更加严重。可惜治疗得太晚了：
坎卦中的一画（阳爻），真阳孤飞于上，一旦交逢巳午之月（夏季），神水金丹也无法奈何它：
禀性喜好食用辛辣食物，医书说：“多食辛味，会导致突然死亡。”如今诊察发现面色、脉象、形体都疲惫不堪，虽然不会突然死亡，但也难以长生。应当控制病情。令其先服用三生饮：
这是一损证，从上损向下传变。一损肺，肺再传心、传肝、传脾，传至肾，则骨痿不能起床。绝对不可再投理肺的药物，以免加速损耗。恐怕猪肚丸可以服用：
猪肚丸。
年纪未过五十，形、脉、色都衰败，询问得知接连丧子三人。难道不是因为这个原因吗？何况又伤了孙子呢，这不是药物所能治愈的：
脉象数而且弦。这是阴亏症，并非外感。如今因虚火上升而头痛，渐渐有金水两伤的态势。静养摄生才能得到恢复，药物治疗只是其次。熟地黄、女贞子、麦冬、龟板、玄参、淡秋石。用枣浆制成丸药，开水送服。
肺为水之主，热邪淫盛则肺叶焦灼，焦灼则水源枯竭。土为金之母，土不生金则金无生源，金、土、水三脏日渐消亡，如果没有玉液滋润，精神怎么能返还？既然身体已经疲惫不堪，即使拟定禁方，也只是依据古人的常谈罢了：
苇茎汤。
心阴虚则容易出汗，肺阴虚则多咳嗽，肝阴虚则火升，肾阴虚则发热，脾阴虚则便溏。这难道不是同一个真阴亏损吗？这是怯症（虚劳）的渐进过程。只知道头痛医头的是良医，不知道履霜坚冰至（见微知著）的道理，君子对此应有忧危之心：
炒白芍、小生地、麦冬、大枣、桂枝末、炙甘草、青蒿梗、云茯苓。
诊得脉细数而微弱，舌干黄，腹泻，身体焦躁而不润泽。这是因为泻下过多损伤阴液，热邪因此内陷，非常令人担忧。治法应用轻清之品以清除邪气，苦寒之品以泄热。不知是否对症：
饮食不和，是太阴脾虚。葛稚川《肘后方》有一味药治疗虚劳的方法：少阴、厥阴亏者，用鹿角散；太阴亏者，用神曲散。如今使用神曲散：
真陈六神曲研细炒香四两。每餐饭后，用开水调服二钱。
中焦是气血津液朝会汇聚的地方，如今诊得胃气不能在脉中流布，这也是元气中气不足的表现。酸味以收敛固涩，辛味以流动行气，唯有甘味以培养中气，因为增加了肿胀的病患而停止使用。拟定方剂供审阅：
厥证有十四种。泄下是一法，镇降是一法。肝气曲直太过，不仅侮犯脾土，而且其上不畏肺金。镇降法恐怕与其格拒不相入，不如顺其势而利导之，然后润之滋之。鲜有不成功的：
羚羊角、金铃肉（金樱子肉）、生甘草、淡吴茱萸、黑穭豆、生白芍、云茯苓、川郁金汁。
张仲景书中说：“疟脉自弦”。这一句话开启了世人的天眼慧目。如今三部九候之中，并没有一丝一毫弦象可见，这与正气相战的邪气，不同于春风、夏暑、南方瘴气。由此推断，思虑已过半了：
脉越按越大，可知阴气不足，疟邪得以深入。漏芦、鳖甲补阴太过，不适合花甲之年劳心之体。汗出泄过多，阳气也令人担忧，胃间有伏邪，水饮不入，种种情况都是一胜不胜，岂能再从汗解呢？病人要小心，医生要谨慎：
人参、蔻仁、淡黄芩、生牡蛎、生地、陈皮、小青皮、生首乌、新谷、姜汁。
明显是肝风上冒，左尺脉碎乱搏指，这是乙癸同源，肾肝同病。但少阴经脉不上达巅顶，只有阴气能至。以肝为重，肾次之：
羚羊角、生地、半夏、白芍、当归身、陈皮、茯苓、菊花、女贞子。
这是由于金水不相承挹（相生），所以咳嗽久不愈。切勿调理肺部，肺为娇脏，越调理越虚。证候不可泛然滋阴。
短气失音，喉中时常发出如水鸡声，右脉如革脉，面部浮肿色泽萎黄，肺胃应验此象，心下痞硬。补泻之法频繁变更，动则无效。病情在水令（冬季）加重，在春候剧烈。拟进苇茎越婢成汤，进饮三剂：
本属湿温病，化生于三焦，充斥腠理。误伤了手太阴肺经、足太阳膀胱经的气机，必然导致渐入虚损一途，这不是病的过错，而是治疗的过错。必须移居到高明静虚的环境，治疗以百日为期，或许能好。拟定方剂开太阳，益太阴：
淡干姜（同五味子捣烂）、茯苓、地骨皮、桑叶、生扁豆、生甘草。
弦而动而无情的脉象，即名为胃气少。虽然不是《难经》所说的“但弦无胃”，但久病出现这种情况不宜。不要因为失血就长期进服纯阴药物，阳气被抑制而阴无所依恃。我的拙见暂且进服甘温之剂：
病在奇经，治疗其他经络无效。要知道血行清道，就知道清气不肃降，所以鼻出血昏晕。这两者都出自督脉，喜好奇异无用之法。用古法治疗，自然有效。
生地、犀角、广圆核（桂圆核）、侧柏叶。研为细末，蜂蜜为丸。早上服用五钱，晚上服用三钱，开水送下。
暑气，是热中的阴邪。心先受之，侵入胞络。怠惰不语，神志昏迷四肢冷，属于不治之症。如今脉迟软，渐渐有这种征兆，四肢末端渐冷，竟有内闭外脱的忧虑。急用通阳救逆之法，仿效右大顺散的意义。不知如何：
右脉芤而搏指，耳聋，下部出血，寒热不止。阴络受伤，而厥阴不能摄血。应当从至阴中宣散出热邪，这是保存阴液的第一要义：
青黛、白知母、生白芍、炒黄柏、鳖甲、鲜荷叶。粳米一合，泡汤代水。
右脉一息七至且弦，右脉一息六至且紧（原书即为两个右脉：出自《浙江中医杂志》），咳嗽而不能喘息。阴气已弱，金水同受病。且议用景岳六君煎投之：
素有喘症，形体气力怯弱，咽痛但不肿，时常咳嗽。这是新感风温在肺，气机不下降肃降。尚宜清降：
禀赋体质既薄弱，咳嗽咯血，极易伤阴。不可调理肺部，因为水出高原（肺），肺主气之母，借以生津补液，周环百脉的缘故：
昨天共同商议的方子。以两关部按之，脉弦。特借用张仲景旋覆代赭法，同四磨饮一起投服。旋覆花有转旋之功，代赭石为镇坠之品，咸寒可降，酸可入肝；四磨饮则渐摩运化，使手太阴肺经得行清肃之令，足厥阴肝经无克侮之暴烈。如今诊得两关弦象已减，面部浮肿稍退，是药已见效，但暴渴欲饮，则仍然如故。这说明阳明之腑，中垢不去，煎熬津液，下流一日不通，上流一日上泛。虽然有补虚的策略，谁敢泛然投药？况且其虚脉虚象，显然彰著，形势不容迟缓。前既借用仲景之法，以退两关之弦，这里独独不可借仲景急去宿垢以存津液之法吗？然而不可以用张子和的霸道之法投之。拟以缓法，推陈致新，仍等候昨日两位道长印可如何：
女贞子、广皮、干桑叶、熟地、旱莲草、白芍、黑芝麻、枸杞子、鲜菊花、当归身、黑穭豆、玉竹、南烛叶、白茯神、沙蒺藜、炙甘草。
以上前十四味，各四两，后二味各二两，用天泉水、桑枝火熬成膏，加入真阿胶三两，炼净白蜜三两，装入磁瓶密封保存。每日卯时挑服五六钱，开水送下。
此方为隐居山林者服食的大药，调和肝气的妙品。女贞、旱莲二味，效法二至丸以暗转阴阳；佐以桑麻，为调风气应候，播植生机；助以杞菊，为升降之春秋，亦承流以宣化；归、芍辛酸，一通一泄，使无或滞之情；地黄、蒺藜，一填一养，不致肌虚之困；穭豆滋水息肝；南烛培元益气；茯神、玉竹，为营卫报使；橘红、甘草，为喉舌真司；阿胶济水造成，激浊扬清之凛冽；蜂蜜一花酿就，和风甘雨之仁慈。服用它不仅调元却老，而且可见天地之生生不息有如是也。
人参、玄参、五味子、远志肉、麦冬、茯神、酸枣仁、柏子仁、于术、川贝、生甘草、苦桔梗、丹参、生地、川黄连、金华香附、朱砂。
研为细末，用桂圆肉熬膏代替蜂蜜，捣丸如弹子大。每晨嚼服一丸，开水送下。
经文说：“女子以心脾为立命之根。”凡是心脾气郁，郁则化火，久久不解，渐渐耗伤五阴。特意制定此方，有通有补，足以与丹溪、立斋诸公相抗衡。方义大概取人参养心气，麦冬益心津，生地、丹参益心阴，茯神、远志安心神，五味、枣仁收心液，川连、甘草泻心阳，桔梗利心气，朱砂镇心怯，白术健脾阳，香附畅脾阴，川贝疗脾郁，特别重用其数，以对待心脾二脏，龙眼代蜜，大补心血，甘草和脾。丸如弹大，细嚼吞下，不致直趋下焦，其功效倍著矣。名叫心脾双补法。
治疗产后少腹结瘕：
人参、云母粉、当归、金铃子、生地、吴茱萸，炒血芍，炒白川芎、干漆、制香附、藕粉（生用）、老白韭根。
研为细末，用真神曲糊制成绿豆大的丸药。每日一百丸，空腹开水送服。
Horizontal trigrams represent three Kan (Water), vertical trigrams represent Chuan (River/Water), and the single dot in the center represents True Yang. When Kidney Yin is deficient, True Yang is exposed, transforming into Dragon Fire, which belongs to the Zhen (Thunder) trigram; the Yang energy below the Zhen trigram shares the same origin, rising to transform into Thunder Fire. Therefore, Thunder belongs to Wood, and all these are Fires within Yin. Purely Yin herbs will only make the fire more blazing; ordinary herbal medicines cannot control it. One should use Yi Yuan Dan (One-Source Pill), taking it for a long time until cured:
Take five or six jin (pounds) of Dan Qiu Shi (Aged Urine Stone), and form pills using Red Date paste. Take five or six qian in the morning, two or three qian in the evening, delivered with a decoction made by adding a small amount of Yang Qiu Shi (Yang Urine Stone).
The pulse is wiry and rapid, with the Chi (Cun Cun) position being particularly enlarged. There is coughing, throat pain, and loss of voice. This is the result of Yin deficiency and flaming up of deficiency fire after years of hemoptysis, which goes without saying. Only substances of extreme stillness can guide Yang to submerge into Yin, thereby approaching the principle of the *Nei Jing* (Inner Canon). However, one must practice quiet recuperation to ensure Yin is secure and Yang is dense, achieving the interaction between Kan (Water) and Li (Fire):
Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmannia Root), Hai Shi Fen (Pulverized Floating Limestone), Jin Shi Hu (Dendrobium Officinale), Bei Sha Shen (Glehnia Root), Fu Ling (Poria), Mai Men Dong (Ophiopogon Tuber), Sheng Bai Shao (Raw White Peony Root), Gui Fu Ban (Plastrum Testudinis), Shan Yao (Dioscorea Rhizome).
The body suddenly becomes thinner, the pulse is extremely deficient, Qi is timid with occasional coughing, vision darkens, the pulse is wiry, and there is a sense of vague unhappiness. Everyone knows how to tonify Qi and Blood, but it is advisable to introduce Yin animals (Muskrat/Lutra liver) into the Yin level for the medicine to be effective. Catch one muskrat morning and evening, dry its liver in the shade, and prepare Lu Jiao Jiao (Deer Antler Glue). Take one qian of Lu Jiao Jiao powder in the morning and one qian of Muskrat Liver powder in the evening, both taken with boiled water. This is a common hundred-day method; now a decoction is prescribed for initial intake:
Ren Shen (Ginseng), Fu Ling (Poria), Tu Si Zi Bing (Cuscuta Seed Cake), Nan Zao (Southern Dates), Jiao Bai Zhu (Charred Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome), Zhi Cao (Honey-fried Licorice), Gou Qi Zi (Goji Berry).
The Left Guan pulse beats urgently and rapidly, while the Right Guan pulse is wiry and large. Without Stomach Qi, Yuan Qi cannot return to its root, and the Sea of Qi lacks foundation. If the Right Guan is like this, the condition will worsen in Spring; if the Left Guan is like this, it will collapse in Autumn. Fearing the Left Guan manifestation, I tentatively apply the ancient treatment of "Yi and Gui sharing the same source" (Liver and Kidney):
Da Sheng Di (Large Raw Rehmannia Root), Nv Zhen Zi (Ligustrum Lucidum Fruit), Gou Qi Zi (Goji Berry), Fu Shen (Poria with Hostwood), Yuan Shen (Scrophularia Root), Huai Shan Yao (Dioscorea Hypoglauca Rhizome), Zi Shi Ying (Purple Quartz).
This illness originated from mental exertion and overwork, combined with irregular exposure to wind and cold, leading to coughing and expectoration, which eventually caused internal injury. Internal injury refers to damage to the Zang organ Qi, known as Xu Lao (Consumptive Disease) in ancient texts, which is generally difficult to cure. One must completely cease mental exertion and overwork, eliminate all mundane thoughts, and assist with medication to perhaps prolong life:
Mai Dong (Ophiopogon Tuber), E Jiao (Donkey-hide Gelatin), Jie Geng (Platycodon Root), Zhi Cao (Honey-fried Licorice), Sha Shen (Glehnia or Adenophora Root), Mi Ren (Coix Seed), Fu Ling (Poria).
This is Sha Lao (Sha Consumptive Disease). It arises from damage to Tai Yin (Spleen), transmitting daily to Foot Sha Yin (Kidney). When Spleen Qi is weak causing loose stools, the pathogen enters the lower Zang organs. There is little hope for treatment; it is best to return home immediately and practice closed-door quiet recuperation. Here is a formula gifted for daily drinking:
Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmannia Root), E Jiao (Donkey-hide Gelatin), Bai He (Lily Bulb), Gou Qi Zi (Goji Berry).
For a person at the age of sixty (Flower Cycle), the two Chi pulses are uniquely enlarged. At a time when both Kidneys are declining, how can this be? It is urgent to advance the method of "Yi and Gui sharing the same source":
Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmannia Root), Nv Zhen Zi (Ligustrum Lucidum Fruit), Tu Si Zi Bing (Cuscuta Seed Cake), Fu Ling (Poria), Yuan Shen (Scrophularia Root), Zao Lian Cao (Eclipta Prostrata Herb), Gou Qi Zi (Goji Berry). Formed into honey pills.
This is a syndrome of True Yin deficiency, commonly known as Hundred-Day Consumption. With slight latent summerheat, the chills and fever become more severe. It is a pity that treatment was not started earlier:
Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmannia Root), Qian Cao (Madder Root), Qing Hao (Sweet Wormwood), Yuan Shen (Scrophularia Root), Hua Shi (Talcum), Dan Pi (Moutan Cortex).
The single line in the middle of Kan (True Yang) flies alone upwards. Once it intersects with the months of Si and Wu (Summer), even Shen Shui Jin Dan (Divine Water Golden Pill) cannot help it:
Lao Sheng Jiang (Old Ginger), Tian Dong (Asparagus Cochinchinensis Root), Huai Niu Xi (Achyranthes Bidentata Root), Gan Cao (Licorice), Chuan Shi Hu (Dendrobium Nobile Stem), Yuan Shen (Scrophularia Root), Nv Zhen Zi (Ligustrum Lucidum Fruit).
The constitution favors spicy food. Medical books state: "Excessive consumption of spicy food leads to sudden death." Now, upon diagnosis, the complexion, pulse, and physique are all exhausted. Although sudden death may not occur, longevity is also unlikely. One should manage the disease. Let him first take San Sheng Yin (Three Lives Decoction):
Sheng Di Huang (Raw Rehmannia Root), Chi Fu Ling (Red Poria), Mai Dong (Ophiopogon Tuber), Fen Gan Cao (Powdered Licorice), Sheng Mi Ren (Raw Coix Seed), Hong Zao (Red Dates).
This is a Sun (Damage) syndrome, transmitting downward from upper damage. First damage affects Lung, then transmits to Heart, Liver, Spleen, and finally Kidney, resulting in bone痿 (impotence/atrophy) where one cannot rise from bed. It is absolutely inadvisable to administer lung-regulating medicines again, as this would accelerate the damage. Perhaps Zhu Du Wan (Pork Stomach Pill) can be taken:
Zhu Du Wan (Pork Stomach Pill).
Under fifty years old, yet form, pulse, and color are all decaying. Inquiring reveals the loss of three sons. Is it not due to this? Moreover, he has harmed his grandson. This is beyond the reach of medicinal therapy:
Chuan Bei Mu (Fritillaria Cirrhosa Bulb), Sheng Di (Raw Rehmannia Root), Fu Ling (Poria), Mai Dong (Ophiopogon Tuber).
The pulse is rapid and wiry. This is a Yin deficiency syndrome, not an external contraction. Currently, deficiency fire rises causing headache, gradually showing signs of dual injury to Metal (Lung) and Water (Kidney). Quiet recuperation is the way to recover; medication is secondary. Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmannia Root), Nv Zhen Zi (Ligustrum Lucidum Fruit), Mai Dong (Ophiopogon Tuber), Gui Ban (Carapax et Plastrum Testudinis), Yuan Shen (Scrophularia Root), Dan Qiu Shi (Aged Urine Stone). Formed into pills with date paste, taken with boiled water.
Lung is the master of Water. Excessive heat causes melting; once melted, the water source is exhausted. Earth is the mother of Metal. If Earth does not generate Metal, Metal has no source. The three Zang organs of Metal, Earth, and Water perish day by day. Without Jade Fluid, how can Spirit and Essence return? Since the physical body is already exhausted, even if a secret formula is devised, it is merely based on ancient common talk:
Wei Jing Tang (Reed Shoot Decoction).
Heart Yin deficiency leads to easy sweating; Lung Yin deficiency leads to frequent coughing; Liver Yin deficiency leads to fire rising; Kidney Yin deficiency leads to fever; Spleen Yin deficiency leads to loose stools. Is this not the same True Yin deficiency? This is the gradual onset of Que Zheng (Timidity Syndrome/Consumption). Knowing only to treat the head for headaches makes one a good doctor, but not knowing that "treading on frost leads to solid ice" (seeing the beginning to foresee the end), a gentleman should have a heart of worry and danger:
Chao Bai Shao (Stir-fried White Peony Root), Xiao Sheng Di (Small Raw Rehmannia Root), Mai Dong (Ophiopogon Tuber), Zao (Dates), Gui Zhi Mo (Cinnamon Twig Powder), Zhi Gan Cao (Honey-fried Licorice), Qing Hao Geng (Sweet Wormwood Stem), Yun Fu Ling (Cloud Poria).
Diagnosis reveals a fine, rapid, and faint pulse, a dry yellow tongue, diarrhea, and a scorched, dry body. This is Yin injury due to excessive purging, with heat pathogens sinking inward. It is highly concerning. The treatment method should use light clearing to remove pathogens and bitter draining to clear heat. Whether this applies remains to be seen:
Chuan Lian (Coptis Rhizome), Xiao Sheng Di (Small Raw Rehmannia Root), Ren Zhong Huang (Human Waste Yellow), Dan Dou Chi (Fermented Soybean), Mu Tong (Akebia Stem), Jin Yin Hua (Honeysuckle Flower).
Dietary imbalance indicates Tai Yin deficiency. Ge Yichuan's *Zhou Hou Fang* has a single-herb method for treating consumptive disease: for Sha Yin and Jue Yin deficiency, use Lu Jiao San (Deer Horn Powder); for Tai Yin deficiency, use Shen Qu San (Medicated Leaven Powder). Now using Shen Qu San:
Real aged Liu Shen Qu (Six Gods Medicated Leaven), ground fine and stir-fried until fragrant, four liang. After each meal, mix two qian with boiled water and take orally.
The Middle Jiao is the gathering place for Qi, Blood, and Body Fluids. Current diagnosis shows Stomach Qi cannot flow through the vessels, indicating a deficiency of Yuan Qi. Sour flavors astringe and prevent leakage, pungent flavors promote movement, but only sweet flavors cultivate. Due to increased swelling, previous treatments were stopped. A formula is proposed for review:
Ju Bai (Citrus Reticulata White Pith), Zhuo Ai (Moxa), Xing Tou Cao (Herba Siegesbeckiae), Mai Dong (Ophiopogon Tuber), Mu Gua (Chaenomeles Fruit), Wu Wei Zi (Schisandra Berry).
There are fourteen types of Jue (Reversal) syndromes. Purging is one method, sedating is another. If Liver Qi is excessively curved or straight, it not only insults Earth but also disregards Metal above. Sedating methods may face rejection due to incompatibility. Instead, guide according to the trend, then moisten and nourish. Few will fail:
Ling Yang Jiao (Antelope Horn), Jin Ling Rou (Chinese Medlar Flesh), Sheng Gan Cao (Raw Licorice), Dan Wu Yu (Light Evodia Fruit), Hei Lv Dou (Black Soybean), Sheng Bai Shao (Raw White Peony Root), Yun Fu Ling (Cloud Poria), Chuan Yu Jin Zhi (Curcuma Longa Juice).
Zhang Zhongjing's book states: "Malaria pulses are naturally wiry." This sentence opens the heavenly eyes of humanity. Now, among the Three Regions and Nine Positions, not a trace of wiry image is visible. The pathogen fighting healthy Qi is not like spring wind, summer heat, or southern miasma. From this deduction, half the thinking is done:
Cao Guo Ren (Tsao Ko Seed), Chao Hou Po (Charred Magnolia Bark), Chen Pi (Aged Tangerine Peel), Bai Fu Ling (White Poria), Zhi Cang Zhu (Processed Atractylodes Lancea Rhizome), Zhi Cao (Honey-fried Licorice).
The pulse becomes larger upon deeper pressure, indicating insufficient Yin Qi, allowing Malaria pathogens to penetrate deeply. Lou Lu and Bie Jia (Softshell Turtle Shell) tonify Yin too much, unsuitable for a sixty-year-old mind-weary constitution. Excessive sweating worries Yang Qi; hidden pathogens in the Stomach prevent fluid intake. All these indicate one victory cannot overcome defeat. How can one induce sweating again? The patient must be careful, and the physician cautious:
Ren Shen (Ginseng), Kou Ren (Cardamom Seed), Dan Huang Qin (Light Scutellaria Root), Sheng Mu Li (Raw Oyster Shell), Sheng Di (Raw Rehmannia Root), Chen Pi (Aged Tangerine Peel), Xiao Qing Pi (Young Tangerine Peel), Sheng Shou Wu (Raw Polygonum Multiflorum), Xin Gu (New Rice), Jiang Zhi (Ginger Juice).
Clearly, Liver Wind is surging upward. The Left Chi pulse is chaotic and beats against the finger. This is "Yi and Gui sharing the same source," meaning Liver and Kidney diseases together. However, Sha Yin meridians do not reach the vertex; only Yin can reach there. Prioritize Liver, then Kidney:
Ling Yang Jiao (Antelope Horn), Sheng Di (Raw Rehmannia Root), Ban Xia (Pinellia Tuber), Bai Shao (White Peony Root), Dang Gui Shen (Angelica Sinensis Root Center), Chen Pi (Aged Tangerine Peel), Fu Ling (Poria), Ju Hua (Chrysanthemum Flower), Nv Zhen Zi (Ligustrum Lucidum Fruit).
This is due to Metal and Water not supporting each other, hence chronic cough. Do not regulate the Lung; the Lung is a delicate organ, and regulating it further causes deficiency. The syndrome should not be treated with general Yin tonification.
Bei Sha Shen (Glehnia Root), Zheng Yu Zhu (Polygonatum Odoratum Rhizome), Yun Fu Shen (Cloud Poria with Hostwood), Chuan Shi Hu (Dendrobium Nobile Stem), Tian Xing Ren (Sweet Apricot Seed), Sheng Bian Dou (Raw Lablab Bean).
Shortness of breath and loss of voice, with a sound like a water chicken in the throat. The Right pulse is like a leather pulse, facial edema and sallow complexion indicate Lung and Stomach involvement, with fullness and hardness below the heart. Frequent changes between tonifying and purging yield no effect. Worse in Winter, severe in Spring. Propose Wei Jing Yue Bi Cheng Tang (Reed Shoot and Ma Huang Ephedra Modified Decoction), drink three doses:
Shi Gao (Gypsum Fibrosum), Gui Zhi Mu (Cinnamon Twig Wood), Bai Shao (White Peony Root), Xing Ren (Apricot Seed), Dong Gua Zi (Winter Melon Seed), Sheng Mi Ren (Raw Coix Seed).
Originally Damp-Warmth, transforming in the Triple Burner, filling the interstices. Mistakenly injuring the Qi of Hand Tai Yin (Lung) and Foot Tai Yang (Bladder) inevitably leads to gradual decline into deficiency. This is not the fault of the disease, but of the treatment. One must move to a bright, quiet, and void environment, treating over a hundred days to hopefully recover. Proposed formula opens Tai Yang, benefits Tai Yin:
Dan Gan Jiang (Light Dried Ginger, pounded with Wu Wei Zi), Fu Ling (Poria), Di Gu Pi (Lycium Bark), Sang Ye (Mulberry Leaf), Sheng Bian Dou (Raw Lablab Bean), Sheng Gan Cao (Raw Licorice).
A wiry, moving, and emotionless pulse is named "Stomach Qi Deficiency." Although not exactly "only wiry without Stomach Qi" as described in *Nan Jing*, it is inappropriate for chronic illness. Do not continuously administer purely Yin medicines due to blood loss, as suppressing Yang leaves Yin without support. My humble opinion suggests advancing Sweet-Warm formulas:
Jian Zhong Tang (Build the Middle Decoction) plus Ren Shen (Ginseng), Zhi Mian Qi (Honey-fried Astragalus Root), Gui Shen (Angelica Sinensis Root Center).
The disease is in the Extraordinary Vessels; treating other meridians is ineffective. Know that blood flows through the Clear Pathways; if Clear Qi is not肃 (descending/clearing), nasal bleeding and dizziness occur. Both issues stem from the Du Mai (Governor Vessel). Prefer ancient methods over strange useless ones. Treatment with ancient methods will naturally be effective.
Sheng Di (Raw Rehmannia Root), Xi Jiao (Rhinoceros Horn - *Note: Substitute with Buffalo Horn in modern practice*), Guang Yuan He (Longan Seed), Ce Bai Ye (Biota Tops). Grind to powder, form pills with honey. Take five qian in the morning, three qian in the evening, with boiled water.
Shu (Summer Heat) is a Yin pathogen within Heat. The Heart receives it first, invading the Bao Luo (Pericardium Vessels). Lethargy, silence, confusion, and cold limbs indicate untreatability. Now the pulse is slow and soft, showing signs of this progression. Limbs are gradually cold, with fear of internal closure and external collapse. Urgently use Tong Yang Jiu Ni (Unblock Yang and Rescue Reversal) method, imitating the principle of You Da Shun San (Right Great Smooth Powder):
Gui Zhi (Cinnamon Twig), Ban Xia (Pinellia Tuber), Jiao Bai Shao (Charred White Peony Root), Zhi Gan Cao (Honey-fried Licorice).
The Right pulse is Kou (hollow) and beating, deafness, lower bleeding, unrelenting chills and fever. Injury to Yin collaterals, and Jue Yin failing to control. Heat pathogens should be vented from the Extreme Yin; this is the primary principle of preserving Yin:
Qing Dai (Indigo Naturalis), Bai Zhi Mu (Anemarrhena Rhizome), Sheng Bai Shao (Raw White Peony Root), Chao Huang Bo (Phellodendron Bark), Bie Jia (Softshell Turtle Shell), Xian He Ye (Fresh Lotus Leaf). One he of Mi (Rice), soaked in water as decoction base.
Right pulse seven beats per respiration, wiry; Right pulse six beats per respiration, tight (Original text has two Right pulses: sourced from *Zhejiang Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine*). Coughing without ability to breathe. Yin Qi is weak, Metal and Water suffer together. Discuss administering Jing Yue Liu Jun Jian (Jing Yue Six Gentlemen Decoction):
Jin Shui Liu Jun Jian (Metal-Water Six Gentlemen Decoction).
Suffering from asthma chronically, with weak form and Qi, sore throat without swelling, occasional cough. This is new Wind-Warmth affecting the Lung, with Qi failing to descend and clear. Should continue with clearing and descending:
Sang Ye (Mulberry Leaf), Bai Sha Shen (Glehnia Root), Kuai Fu Ling (Chunk Poria), Xing Ren (Apricot Seed), Chuan Bei Mu (Fritillaria Cirrhosa Bulb), Nan Zao Rou (Southern Date Flesh).
Constitution is thin; coughing with blood easily injures Yin. Do not regulate the Lung, because Water originates from the High Source (Lung), Lung governs Qi and is the mother, relying on it to generate fluids and nourish the hundred vessels:
Sheng Di (Raw Rehmannia Root), Qing E Jiao (Clear Donkey-hide Gelatin), Gou Qi Zi (Goji Berry), Liao Dou Pi (Lablab Bean Skin), Mai Dong (Ophiopogon Tuber), Bai He (Lily Bulb).
The formula discussed yesterday. Pressing the two Guan positions reveals a wiry pulse. Specifically borrowing Zhang Zhongjing's Xuan Fu Dai Zhe Fa (Inverted Cauliflower and Hematite Method), administered with Si Mo Yin (Four-Mortar Drink). Xuan Fu Hua (Inula Flower) has turning capabilities; Dai Zhe Shi (Hematite) is a sedating substance, salty-cold descends, sour enters Liver; Si Mo Yin gradually promotes transformation, allowing Hand Tai Yin (Lung) to execute clearing and descending commands, preventing Foot Jue Yin (Liver) from violent insulting. Now, the wiry images at both Guan positions have decreased, facial edema has slightly receded, indicating the medicine is effective. However, sudden thirst and desire to drink remain unchanged. This means the Yang Ming Fu organs have retained filth, boiling fluids; if lower flow does not pass for a day, upper flow floods for a day. Although there are strategies for tonifying deficiency, who dares to indiscriminately prescribe? Moreover, the deficiency pulse and image are obvious, and the situation allows no delay. Previously borrowed Zhongjing's method to reduce the wiry pulse at both Guan positions; here, can we not borrow Zhongjing's method to urgently remove retained filth to preserve fluids? However, do not use Hezi's (Zhang Zhongjing's follower) hegemonic methods. Propose a gentle method to push out the old and bring forth the new, awaiting the approval of the two Daoist masters from yesterday:
Xuan Fu Hua (Inula Flower), Dai Zhe Shi (Hematite), Ren Shen (Ginseng), decocted to deliver Chen Xiang Hua Qi Wan (Agarwood Transforming Qi Pills), 2.5 qian.
Zi Ying Yang Ye Gao (Nourishing Yin and Nourishing Fluid Paste):
Nv Zhen Zi (Ligustrum Lucidum Fruit), Guang Pi (Broad Peel/Tangerine Peel), Gan Sang Ye (Dried Mulberry Leaf), Shu Di (Prepared Rehmannia Root), Han Lian Cao (Eclipta Prostrata Herb), Bai Shao (White Peony Root), Hei Zhi Ma (Black Sesame), Gou Qi Zi (Goji Berry), Xian Ju Hua (Fresh Chrysanthemum), Gui Shen (Angelica Sinensis Root Center), Hei Lv Dou (Black Soybean), Yu Zhu (Polygonatum Odoratum Rhizome), Nan Zhu Ye (Nanchu Leaf), Bai Fu Shen (White Poria with Hostwood), Sha Ji Li (Tribulus Fructus), Zhi Cao (Honey-fried Licorice).
The former fourteen ingredients, four liang each; the latter two, two liang each. Decoct with Heavenly Spring Water and Mulberry Branch fire into a paste. Add three liang of real E Jiao (Donkey-hide Gelatin) and three liang of refined white honey. Store in a porcelain jar. Each day at Mao hour (5-7 AM), scoop five or six qian, taken with boiled water.
This formula is a great medicine for those living in seclusion and a wonderful product for harmonizing Liver Qi. Zhen and Lian (Nv Zhen Zi and Han Lian Cao) follow the Er Zhi method to secretly turn Yin and Yang; assisted by Sang and Ma (Mulberry and Sesame) to adjust wind and Qi according to seasons, planting vitality; aided by Qi and Ju (Goji and Chrysanthemum) for ascending and descending like Spring and Autumn, also conveying flow and promoting transformation; Gui and Shao (Angelica and Peony) are pungent-sour, one unblocking and one draining, ensuring no stagnation; Di Huang and Ji Li (Rehmannia and Tribulus) one filling and one nourishing, preventing muscular deficiency; Lv Dou nourishes Water and calms Liver; Nan Zhu cultivates Yuan Qi and boosts Energy; Fu Shen and Yu Zhu act as messengers for Ying and Wei; Ju Hong and Gan Cao are the true officials of the throat and tongue; E Jiao creates water, bringing clarity from turbidity with chilling intensity; Honey is brewed from flowers, possessing the benevolence of gentle wind and sweet rain. Taking it not only regulates Yuan Qi and delays aging but also reveals that Heaven and Earth's generative power is thus.
Xin Pi Shuang Bu Wan (Heart-Spleen Dual Tonification Pill):

Grind to powder, use Long Yan Rou (Longan Flesh) decocted into paste to replace honey, knead into pills the size of bullet seeds. Chew one pill every morning, taken with boiled water.
The Classic states: "Women take Heart and Spleen as the root of life." Whenever Heart and Spleen Qi are depressed, depression transforms into fire. If unresolved for long, it gradually consumes the Five Yins. This formula is specially crafted, having both unblocking and tonifying properties, worthy of competing with Dandun and Lizhai masters. The formula's intent takes Ren Shen to nourish Heart Qi, Mai Dong to benefit Heart Fluids, Sheng Di and Dan Shen to tonify Heart Yin, Fu Shen and Yuan Zhi to calm Heart Spirit, Wu Wei Zi and Zao Ren to collect Heart Fluids, Chuan Lian and Gan Cao to drain Heart Yang, Jie Geng to benefit Heart Qi, Zhu Sha to settle Heart Timidity, Bai Zhu to strengthen Spleen Yang, Xiang Fu to smooth Spleen Yin, Chuan Bei to treat Spleen Depression. Special emphasis is placed on their numbers to address the Heart and Spleen Zang organs. Longan replaces honey to greatly tonify Heart Blood, and Gan Cao harmonizes the Spleen. Pills are bullet-sized, chewed finely and swallowed, avoiding direct descent to the Lower Jiao, doubling the efficacy. Named Xin Pi Shuang Bu Fa (Heart-Spleen Dual Tonification Method).
