[Rongzhu Dan] Treats headache caused by kidney deficiency and flaming fire. Before onset, there must be symptoms of blacking out before the eyes and vertigo.
Cinnabar (separately ground), Aconitum kusnezoffii Root (Caowutou) (also known as Sichuan Aconite Root, Chuanwutou), Agrostemma Seed (Qumaisui), Dioscorea bulbifera Tuber (Huangyaozi) (each 1 liang).
Remove Cinnabar from the above ingredients. Grind the remaining three herbs into coarse powder. Use one porcelain bowl, coat it with ginger juice and roast several times. Place Cinnabar in the bowl, spread the herb powders on top, and cover with a small cup.
Dig a hole in the ground, place the bowl inside, and use 5 jin of well-burned charcoal to heat. When the fire is exhausted, blow away the ash, take out the Cinnabar, and grind it into fine powder. Take one pair of Deer Antler Lu Rong, remove hair, soak in wine, slice, bake until dry, and grind into powder. Make pills the size of wu zi (wuze tree seeds) using paste from boiled jujubes. Take 30-40 pills per dose, on an empty stomach, administered with Ginseng Decoction or Black Bean Wine. Increase dosage for strong constitutions; reduce for weak constitutions.
[Qianghuo Fuzi Tang] Treats jue ni (reversal cold syndrome) caused by severe cold invading the brain. Symptoms include headache and toothache.
Ephedrae Herba (Mahuang, 麻黄) (1 qian), Astragali Radix (Huangqi, 黄芪) (2 qian), Atractylodis Rhizoma (Cangzhu, 苍术) (processed, 5 fen), Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix (Qianghuo, 羌活) (7 fen), Saposhnikoviae Radix (Fangfeng, 防风), Cimicifugae Rhizoma (Shengma, 升麻), Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao, 甘草) (roasted, each 3 fen), Raw Aconiti Lateralis Radix (Shengfuzi, 生附子) (1 qian), Angelicae Dahuricae Radix (Baizhi, 白芷), Bombyx Batryticatus (Jiangcan, 僵蚕), Scutellariae Radix (Huangqin, 黄芩) (wine-fried, each 5 fen).
Decoct in water, strain, and take warm after meals. If cough is present, add Petasitae Flos (Foercao, 佛耳草) 5 fen.
[Xuanqi Tang] Treats brow bone pain caused by wind-fire stirring each other.
Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix (Qianghuo, 羌活) (1.5 qian), Saposhnikoviae Radix (Fangfeng, 防风) (1 qian), Scutellariae Radix (Huangqin, 黄芩) (wine-fried, 1.5 qian), Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao, 甘草) (roasted, 1 qian), Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens (Shengjiang, 生姜) (1 slice).
Decoct in water, strain, and take slowly while slightly warm after meals. In winter, remove Scutellariae Radix and add Fermented Soybean (Xiangchi, 香豉) 3 qian, and two stems of Allii Fistulosi Bulbus (Congbai, 葱白). If pain radiates to the corner of the eye (fish tail), it indicates blood deficiency; add Astragali Radix (Huangqi, 黄芪) 3 qian and Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Danggui, 当归) 1 qian. Afternoon fever indicates blood heat; add Paeoniae Radix Alba (Baishao, 白芍) 1.5 qian. Red eyes: add Chrysanthemi Flos (Juhua, 菊花). Nasal congestion: add Asari Radix et Rhizoma (Xixin, 细辛). In summer, if pain worsens near fire, it indicates latent fire; add Gypsum Fibrosum (Shigao, 石膏) 3 qian. Persistent headache with heat: add Gypsum Fibrosum and Ephedrae Herba. If ineffective, it belongs to blood disease; add Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma (Chuanxiong, 川芎) and Bud Tea (Yacha, 芽茶). The acrid-sweet dispersing action of Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma only treats wind, not fire. With the assistance of Scutellariae Radix, it becomes a good method for separating wind and fire. Although Scutellariae Radix is bitter and cold, it specifically travels to the muscle surface, so it is used in all exterior-releasing formulas. This can be seen in Zhang Zhongjing's Huangqin Tang and Chaihu Tang, as well as Fengyi's Yangdan Tang.
[Chuanxiong Chatiao San] (From Ju Fang) Treats long-standing wind transforming into fire causing headache, as well as lateral and central head wind (toufeng).

Make into powder. Take 2 qian mixed with clear tea after meals, three times daily. For postpartum women, administer with Doulin Jiu (Bean-soaking Wine). Mild cases improve after 3 doses; severe cases after 5-7 doses.
[Shanniu Tang] Treats persistent headache caused by meichuang (syphilis-like sore).
Polyporus (Tufuling, 土茯苓) (4 liang), Lonicerae Japonicae Caulis (Rendong, 忍冬) (3 qian), Saposhnikoviae Radix (Fangfeng, 防风), Gastrodiae Rhizoma (Tianma, 天麻), Heishen (Black Ginseng/Shen, 黑参) (each 1 qian), Magnoliae Flos (Xinyiren, 辛荑仁), Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma (Chuanxiong, 川芎) (each 6 fen).
Soja Semen Nigrum (Heidou, 黑豆) (49 grains), Bud Tea (Yacha, 芽茶) (a pinch).
Decoct in water, take warm.
[Banxia Cangzhu Tang] (Also known as Chaihu Banxia Tang) Treats patients with pre-existing wind syndrome, presenting with dry eyes, headache, vertigo, phlegm in the chest, nausea, and desire to vomit. Symptoms decrease with slight sweating in warm rooms but recur upon exposure to wind. Pain is severe one day before the wind arrives.
Cimicifugae Rhizoma (Shengma, 升麻), Bupleuri Radix (Chaihu, 柴胡), Ligustici Wallichii Rhizoma (Ben, 藁本) (each 5 fen), Poria (Fuling, 茯苓), Saccharomyces (Shenqu, 神曲) (fried with ginger juice, each 1 qian), Atractylodis Rhizoma (Cangzhu, 苍术) (processed with rice wash water), Pinelliae Rhizoma (Banxia, 半夏) (each 2 qian).
Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens (Shengjiang, 生姜) (10 slices), Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao, 甘草) (roasted, 4 fen).
Decoct in water, take slightly warm at a time far from meals.
[Qingkong Gao] Treats head wind-damp-heat rising excessively, triggered by wind.
Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix (Qianghuo, 羌活) (3 liang), Saposhnikoviae Radix (Fangfeng, 防风) (2 liang), Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao, 甘草) (roasted, 0.5 liang), Scutellariae Radix (Huangqin, 黄芩) (3 liang, wine-fried), Coptidis Rhizoma (Huanglian, 黄连) (1 liang, wine-fried), Bupleuri Radix (Chaihu, 柴胡) (7 qian), Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma (Chuanxiong, 川芎) (5 qian).
Grind into fine powder. Take 5 qian per dose, place in a cup, mix with half a cup of clear tea, steam over water until like paste. Take with decoction before sleep. (This formula is Xuanqi Tang plus the following three herbs.)
[Xiongxin Tang] Treats headache due to heat jue (reversal).
Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma (Chuanxiong, 川芎) (1.5 qian), Asari Radix et Rhizoma (Xixin, 细辛) (0.5 qian), Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao, 甘草) (roasted, 6 fen), Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens (Shengjiang, 生姜) (5 slices).
Decoct in water, take hot after meals. If heat signs are present, add Scutellariae Radix fried with wine (Jiu Huangqin, 酒黄芩) 1.5 qian. If ineffective, add Raw Gypsum Fibrosum (Sheng Shigao, 生石膏) 3 qian and Aconitum Carmandii Root (Wutou, 乌头) 2 fen. For stomach deficiency, remove Angelicae Dahuricae Radix and replace with Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (Baizhu, 白术) to prevent internal pathogenic factors. If affected by external pathogens, add Allii Fistulosi Bulbus and Fermented Soybean. For postpartum women, decoct with Doulin Jiu.
[Sanyin Xiongxin Tang] Treats headache due to cold jue (reversal).
Sichuan Prepared Aconite Root (Chuan Fuzi, 川附子) (peeled, raw), Sichuan Aconite Root (Chuan Wutou, 川乌头) (peeled, raw), Arisaema Cum Bile (Tiannanxing, 天南星) (soaked in ginger soup, spit removed), Dried Ginger (Ganjiang, 干姜) (raw), Asari Radix et Rhizoma with leaves (Xixin, 细辛), Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma (Chuanxiong, 川芎) (each 1 qian), Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao, 甘草) (roasted, 0.5 qian).
Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens (Shengjiang, 生姜) (7 slices), Bud Tea (Yacha, 芽茶) (a pinch).
