人参芎归汤（出自《直指方》）：治疗烦躁、气喘急促、虚汗、厥逆，小便颜色深红，大便黑色，这种病症称为血胀。
配方：人参、辣桂（去除粗皮）、五灵脂（炒制，各二钱五分）；乌药、蓬术（煨制）、木香、砂仁、炙甘草（各半两）；川芎、当归、半夏（用汤炮制，各七钱五分）。
将上述药材切碎，每次服用一两五钱，加入生姜五片、红枣二枚、紫苏四叶，空腹煎服。
按语：此方用于治疗血胀初成的患者，服用后必定有效。
化滞调中汤：白术（一钱五分）；人参、白茯苓、陈皮、浓朴（姜汁制）、山楂肉、半夏（各一钱）；神曲（炒制）、麦芽（炒制，各八分）；砂仁（七分）。
用水二钟，生姜三片，煎至八分，饭前服用。
按语：此方即是参术健脾汤，加入了神曲和麦芽。如果腹胀严重，可加入炒制的萝卜子一钱，面食积食者尤其适宜使用。这是通过帮助脾脏健运，来消除气分的胀满。
人参丸：治疗经脉不通利，化为水湿，流注四肢，全部肿胀满闷，这种病症称为血分。其症状表现与水病相似，如果当作水病来治疗，是不正确的，适宜使用此方。
配方：人参、当归、大黄（用湿纸包裹，在饭上蒸熟，去掉纸后切片炒制）、桂心、瞿麦穗、赤芍药、白茯苓（各半两）；葶苈子（炒制后单独研细，一钱）。
将上述药材制成粉末，用炼蜜制成如梧桐子大小的丸剂。每次服用十五丸，逐渐增加至二三十丸，空腹时饮汤送下。
按语：此方用于治疗血分中的水湿，少量使用葶苈子作为引经药，不至于耗散正气，非常值得采用。
见丸（出自《宝鉴》）：治疗寒气客居在下焦，导致血气闭塞而形成瘕聚，腹部坚硬肿大，久不消散的病症。
配方：附子（炮制，去皮去脐，四钱）、鬼箭羽、紫石英（各三钱）；泽泻、肉桂、元胡索、木香（各二钱）；槟榔（二钱半）；血竭（一钱半，单独研细）；水蛭（一钱，炒至烟尽）；京三棱（五钱，锉碎）；桃仁（三十粒，热水浸泡去皮尖，麸皮炒制后研碎）；大黄（二钱，锉碎，用酒与三棱浸泡一夜后焙干）。
以上十三味药，除血竭和桃仁外，其余共同研为细末，加入另外两味单独研细的药混合均匀，用药酒浸透的蒸饼打糊，制成如梧桐子大小的丸剂。每次服用三十丸，用淡醋汤送下，饭前温酒送服也可以。
按语：此方消瘀的力量很大，如果使用得当，也不算过于峻猛。
小温中丸（朱丹溪创制）：治疗因脾虚不能运化导致的胀满，不可使用攻下法。
配方：陈皮、半夏（汤泡去皮去脐）、神曲（炒制）、茯苓（各一两）；白术（二两）；香附子（不要烘烤晾晒）；针砂（各一两半，醋炒至变红）；苦参（炒制）、黄连（炒制，各半两）；甘草（三钱）。
将上述药材制成粉末，用醋和水各一盏，打糊制成如梧桐子大小的丸剂。每次服用七八十丸，用白术六钱、陈皮一钱、生姜一片煎汤吞服。身体极度虚弱者加人参一钱，各方均去掉黄连，加入浓朴半两，注意忌口。病情轻者服用此丸六七两，小便就会通畅；病情重者服用一斤，小便才会开始通畅。
按语：脾虚引起的胀满，最不宜使用大黄类药物，以免散失脾气。丹溪的此方，也是值得采用的。
禹余粮丸（出自《三因极一病证方论》）：治疗十种水肿及水气病，脚膝肿胀，上气喘急，小便不利，只要是水气病，都主治。（许学士及朱丹溪都说：此方是治疗肿胀的关键药物。）
主药制备：蛇含石（大的三两，用新铁锅盛入炭火中烧，直到蛇含石的颜色与铁锅一样红，用钳子取出蛇含石倾入醋中，冷却后取出研成极细粉末）；禹余粮石（三两）；真针砂（五两，先用水淘洗干净炒干，放入禹余粮中，一处用米醋二升，直接在锅内煮，直到醋干为止，然后用锅连同药一起放入炭火中烧红，取出钳出，倒在干净的砖地上，冷却后研细）。
以这三味药为主，其次根据病人的虚实情况，加入以下药物：（治疗水病多取轻扬之品，但此方三味药并非大戟、甘遂、芫花这类峻下药之比，又有下面这些药物扶持，所以虚人老人也可以服用。）羌活、木香、茯苓、川芎、牛膝（酒浸）、桂心、白豆蔻（炮制）、大茴香（炮制）、莪术、附子（炮制）、干姜（炮制）、青皮、京三棱（炮制）、白蒺藜、当归（酒浸一夜，各半两）。
将上述药材制成粉末，与前药拌匀，用汤浸泡蒸饼，拧去水分，与药再捣极匀，制成如梧桐子大小的丸剂。饭前用温酒或白开水送服，每次三十丸至五十丸。最忌讳盐，一丝一毫都不能入口，否则疾病发作会更严重。只要尝试服药，尿液中就会随即排出水湿，不伤脏腑。病愈后每天服用三次，同时配合温和调理补益气血的药物辅助，真是神奇的方子。
按语：此方前人使用多次见效，是因为它能温暖水脏。服用此丸，再配合调理补益气血的药物辅助，并不显得峻猛。
导气丸：治疗各种痞塞不通，关格症，腹胀如鼓，大便秘结，小肠肾气等疾患，功效特别迅速。
配方：青皮（用水蛭等量同炒至红，去掉水蛭）；莪术（用虻虫等量同炒至红，去掉虻虫）；胡椒（用茴香炒，去掉茴香）；三棱（用干漆炒，去掉干漆）；槟榔（用斑蝥炒，去掉斑蝥）；赤芍（用川椒炒，去掉川椒）；干姜（用砂炒，去掉砂）；附子（用青盐炒，去掉青盐）；吴茱萸（用牵牛子炒，去掉牵牛子）；石菖蒲（用桃仁炒，去掉桃仁）。
以上各等分锉碎，与所制药材炒熟，去掉水蛭等不用，只用青皮等十味，制成细末，用酒糊制成如梧桐子大小的丸剂。每次服用五十丸，增加到七十丸，空腹时用紫苏汤送服。
按语：此方各味药材都用峻烈药物同炒，取其气味而不取其质地，能消坚破结，也能斩关而入。然而如果病程长久且身体极度疲惫，使用此方必定无法胜任。如果病势已成，元气尚可耐受，及早使用可以建功。
温胃汤：治疗忧思郁结，脾肺气机凝滞，阳气不能正常宣通，大肠与胃气不平，胀满上冲，饮食不下，脉象虚而紧涩。
配方：附子（炮制，去皮去脐）、浓朴（去皮生用）、当归、白芍药、人参、甘草（炙制）、橘皮（各一钱半）；干姜（一钱一分）；川椒（去掉闭口的，炒出汗三分）。
以上为一服的量，用水二钟，生姜三片，煎至一钟，饭前服用。
按语：此方变化了附子理中汤的意思，加入了血分药，兼治下部，也是值得采用的。
强中汤：治疗食用生冷食物，过量饮用寒凉浆液，损伤脾胃，从而形成胀满，妨碍饮食，严重时腹痛。
配方：人参、青皮（去白）、陈皮（去白）、丁香（各二钱）；白术（一钱半）；附子（炮制，去皮去脐）；草果仁、干姜（炮制，各一钱）；浓朴（姜汁制）、甘草（炙制，各五分）。呕吐者加半夏。面食积食者加莱菔子（各一钱）。
用水二钟，生姜三片，红枣二枚，煎至一钟，不拘时间服用。
按语：此方即使用附子理中汤，更加入香燥的药物以强健胃气，胃气虚寒者，也可以暂时使用一二剂。
Ren Shen Xiong Gui Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Angelica Decoction, from *Zhi Zhi Fang*): Treats irritability, panting and urgency, spontaneous sweating due to deficiency, cold extremities (Jue Ni), dark red urine, and black stool. This condition is named Blood Distension (Xue Zhang).
Ingredients: Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), La Gui (Cinnamomi Ramulus, remove coarse bark), Wu Ling Zhi (Trogopteri Dung, stir-fried, 2.5 qian each); Wu Yao (Linderae Radix), Peng Zhu (Curcumae Rhizoma, baked), Mu Xiang (Aucklandiae Radix), Sha Ren (Amomi Fructus), Zhi Gan Cao (Prepared Licorice Root, 0.5 liang each); Chuan Xiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma, processed with decoction, 0.75 qian each).
Crush the ingredients. For each dose of 1.5 qian, add 5 slices of Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens), 2 Hong Zao (Jujubae Fructus), and 4 leaves of Zi Su Ye (Perillae Folium). Decoct and take on an empty stomach.
Note: This formula treats early-stage Blood Distension; it is effective when taken.
Hua Zhi Tiao Zhong Tang (Stasis-Resolving and Middle-Jiao-Regulating Decoction): Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, 1.5 qian); Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), Bai Fu Ling (Poria, 1 qian each); Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Nong Po (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex, ginger-processed), Shan Zha Rou (Crataegi Fructus, 1 qian each); Shen Qu (Massae Fermentatae Medicamentosa, stir-fried), Mai Ya (Hordei Fructus Germinatus, stir-fried, 0.8 fen each); Sha Ren (Amomi Fructus, 0.7 fen).
Use 2 zhong of water and 3 slices of Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens). Decoct until 0.8 zhong remains. Take before meals.
Note: This formula is essentially Shen Shu Jian Pi Tang (Ginseng and Atractylodes Spleen-Strengthening Decoction) added with Shen Qu (Massa Medicateda) and Mai Ya (Germinated Hordeum). If distension is severe, add 1 qian of stir-fried Luo Bo Zi (Raphani Semen). It is particularly suitable for damage caused by wheat products. It assists the spleen's transportation and transformation to eliminate qi-level distension.
Ren Shen Wan (Ginseng Pill): Treats conditions where meridians are obstructed, transforming into water-dampness that flows to the four limbs, causing generalized swelling and fullness. This condition is called Blood Partition (Xue Fen). Its symptoms resemble water diseases; treating it as a water disease is incorrect. This formula is appropriate.
Ingredients: Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, wrapped in wet paper, steamed over rice, paper removed, sliced and stir-fried), Gui Xin (Cinnamomi Cortex), Qu Mai Sui (Lygodii Spora), Chi Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix Rubra), Bai Fu Ling (Poria, 0.5 liang each); Ting Li (Semen Lepidii et Descurainiae, stir-fried and separately ground, 1 qian).
Grind into powder. Make pills with refined honey, size of paulownia seeds. Take 15 pills per dose, increasing to 20-30 pills. Take with warm liquid on an empty stomach.
Note: This formula treats water within the Blood Partition. Using a small amount of Ting Li (Semen Lepidii et Descurainiae) as a guiding drug prevents depletion of qi. It is highly recommended.
Jian Wan (See Pill, from *Bao Jian*): Treats cold pathogen lodging in the lower jiao, causing obstruction of blood and qi, resulting in mass accumulation (Jia Ju). The abdomen becomes hard and enlarged, persisting for a long time without resolving.
Ingredients: Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, prepared, skin and umbilicus removed, 4 qian); Gui Jian Yu (Spatholobi Caulis), Zi Shi Ying (Fluoritum, 3 qian each); Ze Xie (Alismatis Rhizoma), Rou Gui (Cinnamomi Cortex), Yuan Hu Suo (Corydalis Rhizoma), Mu Xiang (Aucklandiae Radix, 2 qian each); Bing Lang (Arecae Semen, 2.5 qian); Xue Jie (Santalum Album, 1.5 qian, separately ground); Shui Zhi (Hirudo, 1 qian, stir-fried until smoke ceases); Jing San Leng (Sparganii Rhizoma, 5 qian, crushed); Tao Ren (Persicae Semen, 30 grains, soaked in hot water, skin and tip removed, bran-stir-fried and ground); Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, 2 qian, crushed, soaked overnight in wine with San Leng, then dried).
Of the thirteen ingredients, except for Xue Jie (Santalum Album) and Tao Ren (Persicae Semen), grind together into powder. Mix with the two separately ground ingredients. Use medicinal wine-soaked steamed cake paste to form pills, size of paulownia seeds. Take 30 pills per dose, with light vinegar water. Warm wine before meals is also acceptable.
Note: This formula has strong blood-stasis-resolving power. When used appropriately, it is not overly harsh.
Xiao Wen Zhong Wan (Minor Warming Middle Pill, by Zhu Danxi): Treats distension caused by spleen deficiency failing to transport and transform. Purging methods should not be used.
Ingredients: Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma, soaked in water, skin and umbilicus removed), Shen Qu (Massae Fermentatae Medicamentosa, stir-fried), Fu Ling (Poria, 1 liang each); Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, 2 liang); Xiang Fu Zi (Cyperi Rhizoma, do not bake or dry); Zhen Sha (Magnetitum, 1.5 liang each, stir-fried in vinegar until red); Ku Shen (Sophorae Flavescentis Radix, stir-fried), Huang Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma, stir-fried, 0.5 liang each); Gan Cao (Licorice Root, 3 qian).
Grind into powder. Use 1 zhan of vinegar and 1 zhan of water to make paste for pills, size of paulownia seeds. Take 70-80 pills per dose, swallowed with decoction made from 6 qian Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), 1 qian Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), and 1 slice of Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens). For severe deficiency, add 1 qian of Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix). In all cases, remove Huang Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma) and add 0.5 liang of Nong Po (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex). Observe dietary restrictions. For mild illness, taking 6-7 liang of these pills will increase urination. For severe illness, taking 1 jin will eventually increase urination.
Note: For distension caused by spleen deficiency, Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) is most contraindicated as it scatters spleen qi. Zhu Danxi’s formula is worth using.
Yu Yu Liang Wan (Halloysitum Pill, from *San Yin Fang Lun*): Treats ten types of edema and water qi, swelling of feet and knees, panting and urgency of breath, and difficult urination. It is indicated for any water qi condition. (Xu Xueshi and Zhu Danxi both state: This formula is a key medicine for treating swelling.)
Main Ingredients Preparation: She Han Shi (Omphacitum, large pieces 3 liang, placed in a new iron pot in charcoal fire until the stone turns red like the pot. Remove with tongs, pour into vinegar, cool, take out, and grind extremely fine.); Yu Yu Liang Shi (Halloysitum, 3 liang); Zhen Zhen Sha (Magnetitum, 5 liang, first washed clean with water and dried, mixed with Yu Yu Liang Shi. Add 2 sheng of rice vinegar, boil in the pot until vinegar is dry. Then place pot and herbs in charcoal fire until red. Remove with tongs, pour onto clean brick ground, cool, and grind fine.).
Using these three as the main base, add the following according to the patient’s deficiency or excess: (Treating water usually involves light drugs. However, these three are not comparable to Da Ji (Euphorbiae Pekinensis Radix), Gan Sui (Kansui Radix), or Yuan Hua (Genkwa Flos), and are supported by the following herbs, so they can be taken by deficient patients and the elderly.) Qiang Huo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix), Mu Xiang (Aucklandiae Radix), Fu Ling (Poria), Chuan Xiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Niu Xi (Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix, wine-soaked), Gui Xin (Cinnamomi Cortex), Bai Dou Kou (Amomi Fructus Rotundus, prepared), Da Hui Xiang (Foeniculi Fructus, prepared), E Zhu (Curcumae Rhizoma), Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, prepared), Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, prepared), Qing Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride), Jing San Leng (Sparganii Rhizoma, prepared), Bai Ji Li (Tribuli Fructus), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, wine-soaked overnight, 0.5 liang each).
Grind into powder, mix with previous herbs. Soak steamed cake in water, wring out moisture, mix with herbs, pound thoroughly, and form pills size of paulownia seeds. Take 30-50 pills before meals with warm wine or plain water. Salt is strictly forbidden; even a trace will worsen the disease. Upon taking the medicine, water will pass through urine immediately without damaging the zang-fu organs. After the disease resolves, take three times daily, assisted by mild qi- and blood-nourishing herbs. Truly a miraculous formula.
Note: This formula was frequently effective in ancient times because it warms the water organ. Taking this pill with qi- and blood-nourishing assistance is not overly harsh.
Dao Qi Wan (Qi-Guiding Pill): Treats various blockages, Guan Ge syndrome (obstruction and reversal), abdominal distension like a drum, constipation, and disorders of the small intestine and kidney qi. Its efficacy is particularly rapid.
Ingredients: Qing Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride, stir-fried with equal amount of Shui Zhi (Hirudo) until red, discard Shui Zhi); E Zhu (Curcumae Rhizoma, stir-fried with equal amount of Meng Chong (Tabanidae), until red, discard Meng Chong); Hu Jiao (Piperis Longi Fructus, stir-fried with Hui Xiang (Foeniculi Fructus), discard Hui Xiang); San Leng (Sparganii Rhizoma, stir-fried with Gan Qi (Dryopteridis Rhizoma), discard Gan Qi); Bing Lang (Arecae Semen, stir-fried with Ban Mao (Mylabris), discard Ban Mao); Chi Shao (Paeoniae Radix Rubra, stir-fried with Chuan Jiao (Zanthoxyli Pericarpium), discard Chuan Jiao); Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, stir-fried with Sha (Sand), discard Sha); Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, stir-fried with Qing Yan (Natrii Chloridum), discard Qing Yan); Zhu Yu (Evodiae Fructus, stir-fried with Qian Niu (Pharbitidis Semen), discard Qian Niu); Shi Chang Pu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma, stir-fried with Tao Ren (Persicae Semen), discard Tao Ren).
All in equal parts, crush. Stir-fry with the prepared drugs until cooked. Discard the auxiliary drugs (Shui Zhi, etc.). Use only the ten main herbs (Qing Pi, etc.), grind to fine powder, make pills with wine paste, size of paulownia seeds. Take 50 pills per dose, increasing to 70 pills. Take on an empty stomach with Zi Su Tang (Perilla Decoction).
Note: Each ingredient in this formula is stir-fried with harsh drugs to extract their qi/energy rather than their substance. It can break hardness and knots, penetrating barriers. However, if the disease is chronic and the body is severely exhausted, it cannot be tolerated. If the disease pattern is established but the yuan qi (original qi) can withstand it, early use can achieve success.
Wen Wei Tang (Warm Stomach Decoction): Treats knotting from worry and thought, stagnation of spleen and lung qi, yang qi unable to normalize, imbalance between large intestine and stomach qi, distension rushing upward, inability to eat, and a pulse that is deficient, tight, and choppy.
Ingredients: Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, prepared, skin and umbilicus removed), Nong Po (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex, skin removed, raw), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Bai Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), Gan Cao (Licorice Root, prepared), Ju Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, 1.5 qian each); Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, 1.1 qian); Chuan Jiao (Zanthoxyli Pericarpium, remove closed-mouth ones, stir-fried until sweat appears, 0.3 qian).
This constitutes one dose. Use 2 zhong of water and 3 slices of Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens). Decoct until 1 zhong remains. Take before meals.
Note: This formula modifies the intent of Fu Zi Li Zhong Tang (Aconite Regulate the Middle Decoction) by adding blood-invigorating herbs to treat the lower jiao simultaneously. It is worth using.
Qiang Zhong Tang (Strengthen Middle Decoction): Treats distension and fullness affecting diet, and severe abdominal pain, caused by consuming raw/cold foods and excessive drinking of cold liquids, damaging the spleen and stomach.
Ingredients: Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), Qing Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride, remove white pith), Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, remove white pith), Ding Xiang (Caryophylli Flos, 2 qian each); Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, 1.5 qian); Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, prepared, skin and umbilicus removed); Cao Guo Ren (Tsaoko Fructus), Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, prepared, 1 qian each); Nong Po (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex, ginger-processed), Gan Cao (Licorice Root, prepared, 0.5 fen each). Add Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) for vomiting. Add Lai Fu Zi (Raphani Semen, 1 qian each) for damage from wheat/noodles.
Use 2 zhong of water, 3 slices of Sheng Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens), and 2 Hong Zao (Jujubae Fructus). Decoct until 1 zhong remains. Take at any time.
Note: This formula uses Fu Zi Li Zhong Tang (Aconite Regulate the Middle Decoction) plus aromatic-drying herbs to strengthen the stomach. It can be temporarily used for one or two doses in cases of stomach qi deficiency and cold.
