冷劳病瘠,血气枯竭,齿落不已,四肢倦怠,语言不足者,此方主之。

(又名补阴丸)
黄柏(用盐和酒炒制),知母(炒制),熟地黄(各三两),龟板(四两,用酥油炙烤),虎胫骨(一两,用酥油炙烤)。
以羊肉为粘合剂制成丸药。
这也是治疗阴分精血虚损的方剂。
“虎”代表阴,“潜”意为隐藏。此方旨在封闭并固摄精血,所以称为“虎潜”。人的身体中,阳气常常有余,而阴气常常不足,黄柏和知母的作用是滋阴。地黄、当归、白芍的作用是养血。牛膝能引导诸药向下运行,锁阳能使阴精不致外泄。
龟获得了天地间最浓郁的阴气,所以用来补阴。虎获得了天地间最强的阴气,所以用来强壮骨骼。陈皮的作用是行气导滞,而羊肉的作用在于其滋补功效。互相考证可参见疝气门。
熟地黄(二两),川牛膝,山药(各一两五钱),山茱萸肉,杜仲(用姜汁炒制,去除丝筋),白茯苓,巴戟天(去除心部),五味子(炒制),小茴香(炒制),肉苁蓉,远志(去除心部,各一两),石菖蒲,枸杞子(各五钱)。
以红枣肉为粘合剂制成丸药。
这是阴阳平补的方剂。
地黄、牛膝、杜仲、山萸、五味子、枸杞,属于滋阴药物。巴戟天、肉苁蓉、小茴香、远志、石菖蒲、山药、茯苓、红枣,属于养阳药物。滋阴的药物滋润而不寒凉,养阳的药物温和而不燥热。丹溪翁创立方剂的稳妥之处,大多如此。中年人服用非常适宜。
生硫黄(一斤),猪脏(二尺长)。
将硫黄研成细末,全部填入猪脏中,烂煮两个时辰后取出,去掉猪脏,与蒸饼混合制成丸药,大小如梧桐子。每次服用十丸,逐渐增加剂量。
对于冷劳病导致身体消瘦,气血枯竭,牙齿脱落不止,四肢倦怠无力,说话声音微弱的人,此方主治。
人的身体中,有一团真火,寄居在右肾,运行于三焦,出入于胆经,听命于心(天君),以此来温煦全身骨骼,滋养脏腑,充盈七窍的,都是这团火。这团火是万物的父亲,所以说:上天没有这团火不足以生成万物,人没有这团火不能生存。如果这团火熄灭了,那么万物就失去了父亲,所以肌肉衰弱而消瘦,血液衰弱而枯槁,骨骼衰弱而牙齿脱落,筋脉衰弱而四肢倦怠,气息衰弱而言语微弱。硫黄是火的精华,所以用它来补火,然而它的性质过于炎热且有毒,所以用猪脏烂煮来化解其毒性。有人说:世间的方子多用寒凉药物治疗劳损,而硫黄又是世人很少使用的,现在治疗劳损却使用它,谁会不感到惊异?我说:寒因热用,热因寒用,是有熊氏的经典理论;《汤液》中说:硫黄也被称为将军,能够破除邪气回归正道,使停滞恢复清明,挺出阳精,消除阴魄而生魂。那么先医也曾颂扬过它。戴元礼先生,是丹溪的高足。他说:所有的寒凉药物都容易导致气机阻滞,只有黄连寒凉而不阻滞。所有的温热药物都容易燥烈,只有硫黄温热而不燥烈。那么戴氏也曾颂扬过它。为什么要违背心中的道理去追求与世俗相同呢?以前仁和县的官吏早衰,服用此方后活到了九十岁以上,这是过去的验证,记载在《类编》中。其他的如范文正公的金液丹,《得效方》中的玉真丸,《太平惠民和剂局方》中的来复丹、半硫丸、灵砂丹,《百选方》中的二气丹,《活人书》中的返阴丹,杨氏的紫霞丹,往往都使用了硫黄,只是它们所主治的病证各有侧重,这里不再赘述。
凡是服用硫黄的人,忌讳食用猪血、羊血、牛血以及各种禽兽的血。务必谨慎!
(Also known as Bu Yin Wan)
Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex), processed with salt and wine; Zhi Mu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma), stir-fried; Shudihuang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata), each 3 liang; Guiban (Testudinis Carapax et Plastrum), 4 liang, roasted with suet; Hu Jinggu (Pantheris Ossium Tibialis), 1 liang, roasted with suet.
Formed into pills using mutton flesh.
This is also a formula for treating deficiency and damage of essence and blood in the yin aspect.
"Hu" (Tiger) represents yin; "Qian" means to hide or conceal. This formula aims to seal and secure essence and blood, hence it is called "Hu Qian". In the human body, yang is often in excess, while yin is often deficient. Huangbai and Zhi Mu serve to nourish yin. Dihuang, Danggui, and Shaoyao serve to nourish blood. Niuxi can guide the various herbs downward; Suoyang prevents the leakage of yin essence.
The turtle possesses the most concentrated yin qi from heaven and earth, thus it is used to tonify yin. The tiger possesses the strongest yin qi from heaven and earth, thus it is used to strengthen bones. Chenpi serves to promote the movement of stagnation, while the use of mutton lies in its tonifying properties. For cross-reference, see the section on Hernia (Shan).
Shudihuang (2 liang); Chuan Niuxi (Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix); Shanyao (Dioscoreae Rhizoma), each 1.5 liang; Shanzhuyu Rou (Corni Fructus); Duzhong (Eucommiae Cortex), stir-fried with ginger juice, removing silk fibers; Bai Fuling (Poria); Bajitian (Morindae Officinalis Radix), heart removed; Wuweizi (Schisandrae Fructus), stir-fried; Xiaohuixiang (Foeniculi Fructus), stir-fried; Rongzong (Cistanches Herba); Yuanzhi (Polygalae Radix), heart removed, each 1 liang; Shichangpu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma); Gouqizi (Lycii Fructus), each 5 qian.
Formed into pills using red date flesh.
This is a formula for balanced tonification of both yin and yang.
Dihuang, Niuxi, Duzhong, Shanzhuyu, Wuweizi, and Gouqizi are yin-nourishing herbs. Bajitian, Rongzong, Huixiang, Yuanzhi, Shichangpu, Shanyao, Fuling, and Hongzao are yang-nourishing herbs. Those that nourish yin are moistening but not cold; those that nourish yang are warming but not hot. The stability of formulas established by Master Danxi largely follows this principle. It is particularly suitable for middle-aged individuals.
Sheng Liuhuang (Raw Realgar? No, Sulfur) (1 jin); Zhu Zang (Porcine Stomach/Intestine) (2 chi long).
Grind the Liuhuang into fine powder, fill it completely into the Zhu Zang, boil until soft for two shichen (4 hours), then remove and discard the Zhu Zang. Mix with steamed dough to form pills, sized like wutong seeds. Take 10 pills per dose, gradually increasing the amount.
This formula is indicated for Cold Lao (consumptive disease due to cold) presenting with emaciation, exhaustion of qi and blood, continuous tooth loss, fatigue of the four limbs, and weak voice.
In the human body, there exists a True Fire (Zhen Huo), residing in the right kidney, circulating through the Sanjiao (Triple Burner), entering and exiting the Gallbladder (Jia Dan), and obeying the Heart (Tian Jun). This fire warms the entire skeleton, nourishes the zang-fu organs, and fills the seven orifices. This fire is the father of all things; thus it is said: Heaven cannot generate all things without this fire, and humans cannot have life without this fire. If this fire extinguishes, all things lose their father; thus flesh becomes thin and emaciated, blood becomes depleted and withered, bones become weak and teeth fall out, sinews become weak and limbs become fatigued, and qi becomes weak and speech becomes faint. Liuhuang is the essence of fire, so it is used to tonify fire. However, its nature is excessively hot and toxic, so it is boiled with Zhu Zang to mitigate its toxicity. Some say: Worldly formulas treat Lao with cold and cooling substances, yet Liuhuang is rarely used by people today. To use it for treating Lao, who would not be astonished? I say: Using cold for heat, and heat for cold, is the classic theory of Xiong Shi (Li Dongyuan); "Tangye" states: Liuhuang is also called General; it can break evil and return to righteousness, clear stagnation and restore purity, bring forth yang essence, eliminate yin po, and generate hun. Thus, ancient physicians also praised it. Dai Yuanli, a high disciple of Danxi, said: All cold and cooling substances cause stagnation, only Huanglian is cold without causing stagnation. All hot substances are drying, only Liuhuang is hot without being drying. Thus, Dai also praised it. Why deviate from the principles in one's heart to seek conformity with the vulgar? Previously, an official in Renhe suffered from premature aging; after taking this formula, he lived to over ninety years old. This is a past verification, recorded in "Leibian". Others such as Fan Wenzheng Gong's Jin Ye Dan, "Defang"'s Yu Zhen Wan, "Heji"'s Lai Fu Dan, Ban Liu Wan, Ling Sha Dan, "Baixuan"'s Er Qi Dan, "Reren"'s Fan Yin Dan, and Yang Shi's Zi Xia Dan, often all use Liuhuang, but their respective indications differ, so no further elaboration is needed here.
Those taking Liuhuang must avoid pig blood, sheep blood, cow blood, and the blood of all birds and beasts. Be cautious!
