是方不论春夏秋冬，凡咳嗽不止，痰唾槁枯，身热骨痛，头眩目胀，或时畏寒，六
脉弦数，肌肉日瘦，夜不能寐，甚有两颊之间肿硬者，俱投服而愈。精神更长，是所谓
火中求水，其源不绝也。
怀熟地（八钱至一两余） 丹皮（一钱） 山茱肉（二钱） 茯苓（三钱五分） 山药（二钱四分） 泽
泻（盐水炒，一钱） 牛膝（一钱） 麦冬（三钱） 五味子（六分） 肉桂（临煎刮去粗皮，一钱）
如尺脉无神者，加熟附子一钱，水三大碗，煎一碗，食前温服，日二剂，不煎渣，
服后随进饮食压之，数剂后，热退嗽减。六脉洪缓无力，身体倦怠，照前方冲参汤服，
愈后每早淡盐汤吞服八味丸四五钱，随以后方培养荣卫之膏滋一大丸，白汤化服，是犹
点灯之添油膏也。
怀熟地（十二两） 怀生地（囫囵清水净，切片，六两） 麦冬（去心，五两） 天冬（去
心，三两） 丹皮（四两，胃脉不甚大者，减一两） 生白芍（二两，肝脉大极者，加一两）
生米仁（六两） 地骨皮（二两，清水净） 牛膝（三两，寸强尺弱者，加一两） 以上清
水煎，取头汁，二汁去渣，熬成极浓膏滋，入后药收成大丸。
拣人参（三两二钱，微火焙燥，研极细末） 白茯苓（微火焙燥，研净末，三两）
白茯神（微火焙燥，研细，二两四钱） 上阿胶（蛤粉拌炒成珠，研细末，三两，）
炼老白蜜（三两），上入前膏滋内，丸成大圆，每圆重四五钱，每早空心白汤化服一丸，于
服八味丸之后。如尺尚弦数，咽干口燥者，此水少不能以配之也。当令每日以熟地二三两，
麦冬四五钱，煎浓汁二三碗，浩饮代茶，如是调理当即愈也。
这个方子不分春夏秋冬四季，凡是咳嗽不止、痰液干枯稀少、身体发热且骨节疼痛、头晕目眩、眼睛胀痛，有时怕冷，六脉（寸关尺三部，左右手共六部）呈现弦而数的脉象，肌肉日渐消瘦，夜晚无法入睡，甚至两颊部位出现肿胀硬结的病症，服用此方都能痊愈。精神体力日益增长，这就是所谓的“火中求水”（在滋阴基础上稍佐温阳以助气化），使得肾水源源不绝。
怀熟地黄（八钱至一两余）、牡丹皮（一钱）、山茱萸肉（二钱）、茯苓（三钱五分）、山药（二钱四分）、泽泻（用盐水炒制，一钱）、牛膝（一钱）、麦冬（三钱）、五味子（六分）、肉桂（煎药前刮去粗皮，一钱）。
如果尺脉（候肾气）显得无神，加熟附子一钱，用水三大碗，煎取一碗，饭前温服，每天服用两次，不保留药渣，服药后随即进食饮食以压制药性，服用数剂后，热退咳减。若六脉洪大缓和但无力，身体倦怠，按照前方加入人参汤冲服。痊愈后，每天早晨用淡盐汤吞服八味丸四五钱，随后接着服用后方制作的培养营卫之气的膏滋一大丸，用白开水化开服用，这就像给灯添油膏一样持续滋养。
怀熟地黄（十二两）、怀生地黄（完整用清水洗净，切片，六两）、麦冬（去心，五两）、天冬（去心，三两）、牡丹皮（四两，若胃脉不是特别大，减少一两）、生白芍（二两，若肝脉极大，增加一两）、生薏苡仁（六两）、地骨皮（二两，用清水洗净）、牛膝（三两，若寸脉强而尺脉弱，增加一两）。以上药材用清水煎煮，收取头煎和二煎的药汁，去渣后熬制成极浓的膏滋，加入以下药物收制成大丸。
拣选人参（三两二钱，用微火焙干，研成极细末）、白茯苓（微火焙干，研成净末，三两）、白茯神（微火焙干，研细，二两四钱）、上好的阿胶（用蛤粉拌炒成珠状，研成细末，三两）、炼制的老白蜜（三两）。将上述药物加入前面的膏滋中，丸成大圆丸，每丸重四五钱，每天早晨空腹时用白开水化服一丸，在服用八味丸之后进行。如果尺脉仍然弦数，咽喉干燥、口舌燥渴，这是阴水不足不能制约阳气（水火不济）的表现。应当命令患者每天用熟地黄二三两、麦冬四五钱，煎煮浓汁二三碗，大量饮用代替茶水，这样调理应当立即痊愈。
This formula is applicable regardless of the seasons (spring, summer, autumn, winter). It is indicated for cases characterized by persistent coughing, dry and scanty sputum, fever with bone pain, dizziness and distending sensation in the eyes, occasional aversion to cold, a wiry and rapid pulse in all six positions (cun, guan, chi on both hands), progressive emaciation, insomnia at night, and even swelling and induration between the cheeks. Administration of this formula leads to recovery. Spirit and vitality increase, which is referred to as "seeking water within fire" (promoting fluid generation through mild warming to assist qi transformation), ensuring an inexhaustible source of kidney yin.
Huai Shudi (Prepared Rehmanniae Radix) [8 qian to over 1 liang], Danpi (Moutan Cortex) [1 qian], Shanzhrou (Corni Fructus) [2 qian], Fuling (Poria) [3.5 qian], Shanyao (Dioscoreae Rhizoma) [2.4 qian], Zexie (Alismatis Rhizoma) [stir-fried with salt water, 1 qian], Niuxi (Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix) [1 qian], Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix) [3 qian], Wuweizi (Schisandrae Fructus) [6 fen], Rougui (Cinnamomi Cortex) [scrape off rough bark before decoction, 1 qian].
If the chi position (reflecting kidney qi) lacks spirit/vitality, add Shu Fuzi (Prepared Aconiti Lateralis Radix) [1 qian]. Decoct with three large bowls of water until one bowl remains. Take warm before meals, twice daily. Do not retain the dregs. After taking the medicine, consume food immediately to moderate its action. After several doses, fever subsides and cough decreases. If the six pulses are surging yet slow and weak, accompanied by physical fatigue, administer the aforementioned formula mixed with Renshen Tang (Ginseng Decoction). Upon recovery, take Babai Wan (Eight-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia) [4-5 qian] swallowed with light salt water every morning. Subsequently, take one large pill of the following nourishing paste that cultivates Ying (Nutritive Qi) and Wei (Defensive Qi), dissolved in plain boiled water. This is akin to adding oil to a lamp for sustained nourishment.
Huai Shudi (Prepared Rehmanniae Radix) [12 liang], Huai Shengdi (Raw Rehmanniae Radix) [whole, washed clean with clear water, sliced, 6 liang], Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix) [heart removed, 5 liang], Tiandong (Asparagi Radix) [heart removed, 3 liang], Danpi (Moutan Cortex) [4 liang; reduce by 1 liang if the stomach pulse is not excessively large], Sheng Baishao (Raw Paeoniae Radix Alba) [2 liang; add 1 liang if the liver pulse is extremely large], Sheng Yiyiren (Coicis Semen) [6 liang], Digupi (Lycii Cortex) [2 liang, washed clean with clear water], Niuxi (Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix) [3 liang; add 1 liang if the cun position is strong and chi is weak]. Decoct the above ingredients in clear water. Collect the first and second decoctions, filter out the dregs, and boil down into an extremely thick paste. Add the following medicines to form large pills.
Select Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) [3.2 liang, dried with mild heat, ground into very fine powder], Bai Fuling (Poria) [dried with mild heat, ground into pure powder, 3 liang], Bai Fushen (Poria with Hostwood) [dried with mild heat, ground finely, 2.4 liang], Shang Ejiao (Donkey-hide Gelatin) [stir-fried with Ge Fen (Armeniaca Mume Semen Pulveratum) until bead-like, ground into fine powder, 3 liang], Lian Laobaimi (Refined White Honey) [3 liang]. Mix these into the previous paste to form large round pills. Each pill weighs 4-5 qian. Take one pill dissolved in plain boiled water on an empty stomach every morning, after taking Babai Wan. If the chi pulse remains wiry and rapid, accompanied by dry throat and parched mouth, this indicates insufficient yin water failing to control yang fire. The patient should be instructed to decoct 2-3 liang of Shudi and 4-5 qian of Maidong daily in sufficient water to produce 2-3 bowls of concentrated juice, drinking it freely as tea. Such regulation will lead to immediate recovery.
