干姜(二钱) 广皮(三钱)
二月初一日,《金匮要略》说桂枝、干姜是热药,服用后应当立即口渴,现在反而不渴,这是因为体内有饮邪(Fluid Retention)。此证不仅不渴,反而不断呕吐清稀冷水,这无疑是寒饮(Cold Fluid Retention)。既然真正确认了是饮邪,即使重用姜、桂又有什么可畏惧的呢!世人不能准确开方的原因,都是没有真正了解病情。因为畏惧而不敢服药的人,也是没有真正了解病情。
桂枝(八钱) 干姜(七钱) 五味子(一钱半) 半夏(二钱) 焦白芍(四钱) 带皮茯苓(四钱)
炙甘草(三钱) 生姜(五片) 小枳实(三钱) 广皮(三钱)

佟氏,七十五岁。脉象沉细而不调,喘满短气,心悸,气上逆阻塞胸部,咳嗽倚靠呼吸无法平卧,这是中焦痰饮(Phlegm-Fluid in Middle Jiao),下焦浊饮(Turbid Fluid in Lower Jiao)为患。年老之人全靠阳气维持生命,如今阴气、阴邪如此上僭,身体怎能承受?勉强给予通阳降浊(Unblocking Yang and Descending Turbidity)的方法。

半夏(二两) 桂枝(五钱) 生姜(一两) 广皮(五钱) 椒目(四钱) 薤白(五钱) 小枳实(一两) 旋复花(三钱) 秫米(五钱)
十八日,年龄近八十岁,五饮(Five Types of Fluid Retention)俱备,兼之下焦浊饮,随肝气上逆,逼迫心火,使其不得下降,导致胸满而心中烦闷无奈,两次使用通阳降逆法,丝毫不见效。大概是因为年老真阳太虚,一刻难以生长,所以阴霾一时难以消退。在前方中加入芳香开窍(Aromatic Opening of Orifices)的方法。

又:五饮兼浊阴上攻,昨日使用苓桂剂,重伐肾邪,用大辛之品开通中阳,虽然见到小效,但大势之下阴太盛而阳太衰,恐怕短时间内难以解除。勉强给予齐通三焦之阳(Simultaneously Unblocking Yang of Three Jiaos)的方法。

半夏(二两) 广皮(五钱) 生姜汁(半杯,冲服) 秫米(一合) 旋复花(五钱) 小枳实(八钱) 代赭石(八钱)
二十四日,昨日使用降逆和胃法,已经见效,但逆气虽降,仍然有时上阻,这是因为阴霾太重,肝气厥逆。

Decoct with Ganlan Water (Agitated Water, 8 bowls) until reduced to 3 bowls. Decoct the dregs again to obtain 1 bowl. Divide into four doses for administration.
Patient Yan, male, 42 years old. Date: 24th day of the first lunar month, Bingyin year. Symptoms: Cough without desire to drink, orthopnea (inability to lie flat due to breathing difficulty), hypochondriac pain, spontaneous sweating, insomnia. Pulse: Wiry and moderate. Proposal: Modify Xiao Qing Long Tang (Minor Blue Dragon Decoction) by removing Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba) and Xixin (Asari Radix), add Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum) and Yiren (Coicis Semen), and increase the dosage of Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma).

27th Day: Vomiting cold water. Add Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, 2 qian) and Guangpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, 3 qian) to the previous formula to resolve phlegm-qi.
1st Day of the Second Lunar Month: The *Jin Gui Yao Lue* states that Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) and Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) are hot herbs; after taking them, thirst should ensue. Now, the patient is not thirsty, which indicates the presence of Yin fluid retention (Yin). This condition not only lacks thirst but also involves continuous vomiting of cold water, undoubtedly indicating Cold Fluid Retention (Han Yin). Since it is truly known to be Fluid Retention, why fear using heavy dosages of Jiang (Ginger) and Gui (Cinnamon)? Those who cannot prescribe formulas in the world fail to truly understand the disease condition. Those who fear and dare not take medicine also fail to truly understand the disease condition.

Patient Kun, male, 42 years old. Date: 26th day of the first lunar month. Patients with chronic Fluid Retention suffer from vertigo and dizziness. Use the method of Baizhu Zexie Tang (Atractylodis Macrocephalae and Alisma Decoction). Pulse: Surging, slippery, and deep.

Mrs. Tao, female, 36 years old. Date: 25th day of the second lunar month. Phlegm-Fluid Retention disease with surging and rapid pulse, cough, orthopnea, sweating, and Chest Bi (Obstruction Syndrome).

Decoct to obtain 3 cups. Divide into three doses for administration.
Patient [Name Omitted]: Xuan Yin (Hanging Fluid) syndrome. Water resides in the Liver. Purging is necessary. However, since this is the initial consultation, use a mild method.
Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma, 1 liang) Suzi Shuang (Perillae Fructus Frost, 3 qian) Qingpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride, 3 qian) Jiangxiang Mo (Dalbergiae Odoriferae Lignum Powder, 3 qian) Xuanfuhua (Inulae Flos, 4 qian) Guangpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, 3 qian)
Sheng Xiangfu (Cyperi Rhizoma, 5 qian)
Mrs. Tong, female, 75 years old. Pulse: Deep, thin, and irregular. Panting, fullness, shortness of breath, palpitations, Qi rebellion obstructing the chest, cough with orthopnea. This is caused by Middle Jiao Phlegm-Fluid Retention and Lower Jiao Turbid Fluid Retention. The elderly rely entirely on Yang Qi for life. Now, Yin Qi and Yin pathogens rebel upwards so severely, how can the body withstand it? Tentatively apply the method of Unblocking Yang and Descending Turbidity.

Guangpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, 6 qian)
Decoct to obtain 3 bowls. Divide into three doses for administration.
17th Day: Xuan Yin (Hanging Fluid) causes internal pain and borborygmus. Purging is indicated, but due to advanced age and chronic deficiency, purging is not dared. Only the method of Descending Rebellion remains.

18th Day: Near eighty years old, suffering from all five types of Fluid Retention, combined with Lower Jiao Turbid Fluid Retention rising with Liver Qi, forcing Heart Fire downwards, leading to chest fullness and mental confusion/helplessness. Two applications of Unblocking Yang and Descending Rebellion yielded no effect. It is likely because True Yang is too deficient in old age, unable to grow even for a moment, thus Yin turbidity is hard to dispel temporarily. Add an Aromatic Opening method to the previous formula.

Again: Five types of Fluid Retention combined with Turbid Yin attacking upwards. Yesterday, Linggui (Poria and Cinnamon Twig) was used to heavily attack Kidney evil, using large acrid-sweet herbs to open Middle Yang. Although slight effect was seen, the general trend shows excessive Yin and deficient Yang. Fear that recovery will be difficult in real-time. Tentatively apply the method of Simultaneously Unblocking Yang of the Three Jiaos.

23rd Day: Bladder has opened. Today, there is no need to attack Kidney evil further. Qi obstruction below the heart prevents sleep. Still focus on the Middle Jiao, using Descending Rebellion method to enable sleep.

24th Day: Yesterday, Descending Rebellion and Harmonizing Stomach method showed effect. Although rebellious Qi descended, obstruction still occurs occasionally. This is due to heavy Yin turbidity and Liver Qi rebellion.

28th Day: Spine pain, this is Bi Syndrome (Obstruction). Right leg weakness, this is Wei Syndrome (Flaccidity). Cough and panting, this is Zhi Yin (Supporting Fluid) invading the Lung. Chronic non-healing is due to mistaken use of cloying tonics like Shudi (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata) blocking the tunnels. Pulse: Surging.

Decoct 4 bowls, divide into 4 doses. After two doses, reduce Shigao by 1 liang, add Chi Fuling (Red Poria, 1 liang). After another two doses, add Sheng Shigao (Raw Gypsum Fibrosum, 1 liang). Because there is a nodule beside the left breast causing pain, add Qingjieye (Green Tangerine Leaf, 3 qian).
