治疗三阴经中寒邪。初起时身体不发热，头部不疼痛，怕冷且战栗，四肢冰冷，喜欢裹着衣服，蜷缩而卧，身体沉重，腹痛，呕吐腹泻，没有表证。
附子（炮制）、干姜、肉桂、人参（五分）、白术、茯苓（一钱）、半夏、陈皮（七分）、甘草（适量）。
这是足三阴经的药物。寒邪侵入三阴经，阴气盛则阳气微弱，所以用附子、干姜、肉桂这些辛热性质的药物来祛除阴寒，同时用六君子汤这类温补的药物来扶助阳气。五味子配合人参可以生津复脉，加入麝香是为了开通窍道。
治疗肾泻和脾泻。（所谓肾泻，是指在五更时分发生的腹泻。医经说：肾是胃的关口。前阴负责排泄水液，后阴负责排泄谷物糟粕。肾主管运化及阑门的功能，所以元气不足时，不能分别清浊水谷，导致不痛而泻。这两种证候都是因为肾命门之火衰弱，不能上温脾土所致。）
破故纸（四两，酒浸一夜，炒制）、五味子（三两，炒制）、肉豆蔻（三两，面粉包裹煨制）、吴茱萸（一两，盐水炒，临用时洗去咸味）。
这是足少阴经的药物。破故纸辛苦大温，能补益相火以通达君火，火旺才能生土，所以作为君药；肉豆蔻辛温，能暖脾胃、厚肠胃。
本方如果单用破故纸和肉豆蔻，名为二神丸：主治相同。（火是土的母亲，破故纸补肾，属癸水；肉豆蔻厚肠止泻。）
本方如果单用五味子和吴茱萸，名为五味子散：主治相同。本方除去五味子、吴茱萸，加入小茴香（一两）、木香（五钱），用于舒肝理气、暖肾固肠。
(Note by Jie'an: This is the Same as Sini Decoction)
Treats cold invasion into the three Yin meridians. In the initial stage, there is no fever in the body, no headache, aversion to cold with shivering, cold limbs, a desire to cover oneself with clothes, curling up while lying down, heaviness of the body, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea, without exterior syndrome symptoms.
Fuzi (Prepared Aconiti Lateralis Radix), Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), Rougui (Cinnamomi Cortex), Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, 5 fen), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Fuling (Poria), Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma), Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, 7 fen), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, appropriate amount).
This acts on the foot three Yin meridians. When cold invades the three Yin meridians, Yin excess leads to Yang deficiency. Therefore, acrid-hot herbs such as Fuzi, Ganjiang, and Rougui are used to dispel Yin-cold, while warming and tonifying herbs like Liujunzi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction) are used to assist Yang Qi. Wuweizi (Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus) combined with Renshen can generate fluids and restore the pulse; adding Shexiang (Moschus) serves to open the orifices.
Treats Kidney Diarrhea and Spleen Diarrhea. (Kidney Diarrhea refers to diarrhea occurring at dawn/fifth watch. The Classics state: "The Kidney is the gate of the Stomach." The anterior orifice drains water, and the posterior orifice drains grain. The Kidney governs the transformation and transportation of the Lanmen (gate between small and large intestines). Thus, when Yuan Qi is insufficient, it cannot separate clear from turbid, leading to diarrhea without pain. Both conditions arise from the decline of Mingmen Fire (Gate of Life Fire) in the Kidney, which fails to warm the Spleen Earth.)
Pogu Zhi (Prepared Psoraleae Fructus, 4 liang, soaked in wine overnight, stir-fried), Wuweizi (Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus, 3 liang, stir-fried), Roudoukou (Myristicae Semen, 3 liang, baked in flour paste), Wuzhuyu (Evodiae Fructus, 1 liang, salt-water stir-fried, washed to remove saltiness before use).
This acts on the foot Shaoyin meridian. Pogu Zhi is acrid, bitter, and greatly warm; it tonifies Minister Fire to unblock Sovereign Fire. When Fire is prosperous, it generates Earth, so it serves as the Sovereign herb. Roudoukou is acrid and warm, capable of warming the Spleen and Stomach and thickening the intestines.
If this formula uses only Pogu Zhi and Roudoukou, it is named Ershen Wan (Two Gentlemen Pill): indicated for the same condition. (Fire is the mother of Earth; Pogu Zhi tonifies the Kidney, belonging to Gui Water; Roudoukou thickens the intestines and stops diarrhea.)
If this formula uses only Wuweizi and Wuzhuyu, it is named Wuweizi San (Schisandra Powder): indicated for the same condition. If this formula removes Wuweizi and Wuzhuyu and adds Huixiang (Fennel Fruit, 1 liang) and Muxiang (Vladimiriae Root, 5 qian), it is used to soothe the Liver, regulate Qi, warm the Kidney, and secure the intestines.
Bawei Wan (Eight-Ingredient Pill); Vomiting and expectoration caused by Spleen-Kidney Qi deficiency stem from Spleen-Kidney deficiency.
