悬饮，是指水液停留在胁下，咳嗽吐痰时牵引作痛。胁部是肝和胆所在的部位，水气停留在胁部，就会导致肝气郁结逆乱，而肺金清肃下降的功能无法下行，因此出现咳嗽并伴有牵引性疼痛。治疗以椒目栝蒌汤为主方。

Xuan Yin (Hanging Fluid Retention) refers to water fluid accumulating under the hypochondrium, causing pulling pain during coughing and expectoration. The hypochondrium is the location of the Liver and Gallbladder meridians. When water qi stagnates in the hypochondrium, it causes Liver Qi to become stagnant and rebellious, preventing the descending function of Lung Metal's clearing and purifying action. Consequently, coughing with pulling pain occurs. Jiaomu Gualou Tang (Pepper Seed and Trichosanthes Fruit Decoction) is the primary formula for treatment.
Jiaomu Gualou Tang (Self-made Formula)
Zanthoxyli Semen (Pepper Seed) (50 grains)
Trichosanthis Fructus Caput (Trichosanthes Fruit Head) (5 qian, sliced)
Mori Cortex (Mulberry Root Bark) (2 qian)
Descurainiae Semen Lepidii Semen et Mori Cortex (Tinglizi) (2 qian)
Exocarpium Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Rubrum (Ju Hong) (1 qian)
Pinelliae Rhizoma Preparatum (Banxia) (1.5 qian)
Poria (Fuling) (2 qian)
Perillae Fructus (Suzi) (1.5 qian)
Tribuli Fructus (Jili) (3 qian)
Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens (Shengjiang) (3 slices)
This formula is essentially Er Chen Tang (Two-Cured Decoction) with Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao) removed. Zanthoxyli Semen (Pepper Seed) is used to unblock the water passages, while Trichosanthis Fructus (Trichosanthes Fruit) unblocks the grain passages. Descurainiae Semen (Tinglizi), Perillae Fructus (Suzi), and Mori Cortex (Mulberry Root Bark) are used to drain Lung Qi, and Tribuli Fructus (Jili) is used to soothe the Liver. This allows water fluid to descend, harmonizing the Lung and Liver. (Note by Zuyi)
Yi Yin (Overflowing Fluid Retention) refers to water qi flowing laterally into the four limbs. When the Spleen is affected by water-dampness pathogenic factors, the overflow enters the extremities, resulting in swelling of the joints and limbs, heaviness of the body, and weakness. Guiling Shenzhu Tang (Cinnamon Twig, Poria, and Atractylodes Macrocephala Decoction) is the primary formula for treatment.
Guiling Shenzhu Tang (Self-made Formula)
Cinnamomi Ramulus (Guizhi) (8 fen)
Poria (Fuling) (3 qian)
Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (Baizhu) (1 qian)
Atractylodis Rhizoma (Cangzhu/Maozhu) (1 qian)
Coicis Semen (Yiren) (8 qian)
Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium (Guangpi/Chenpi) (1 qian)
Pinelliae Rhizoma Preparatum (Banxia) (1.5 qian)
Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex (Noupu/Houpo) (1 qian)
Amomi Fructus Rotundus (Sharen) (1 qian)
Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens (Shengjiang) (3 slices)
This formula combines Ling Gui Zhu Gan Tang (Poria, Cinnamon Twig, Atractylodes Macrocephala, and Licorice Decoction), Er Chen Tang (Two-Cured Decoction), and Ping Wei San (Peaceful Stomach Powder). It removes Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao) and adds Coicis Semen (Yiren) and Amomi Fructus Rotundus (Sharen). It purely employs warming and transporting methods for the Stomach and Spleen, allowing water fluid to transform naturally. (Note by Zuyi)
Zhi Yin (Branching Fluid Retention) refers to water fluid stagnating below the heart and entering the chest and diaphragm. It causes coughing, wheezing requiring leaning support for breathing, shortness of breath, and a swollen appearance. Sangsu Guiling Tang (Mulberry Leaf, Perilla, Cinnamon Twig, and Poria Decoction) is the primary formula for treatment.
Sangsu Guiling Tang (Self-made Formula)
Mori Cortex (Mulberry Root Bark) (3 qian)
Perillae Fructus (Suzi) (2 qian)
Cinnamomi Ramulus (Guizhi) (8 fen)
Poria (Fuling) (3 qian)
Alismatis Rhizoma (Zexie) (1.5 qian)
Arecae Pericarpium (Dafupi) (1.5 qian)
Exocarpium Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Rubrum (Ju Hong) (1 qian)
Pinelliae Rhizoma Preparatum (Banxia) (1.5 qian)
Pruni Armeniacae Semium (Xingren) (3 qian)
Polyporus (Zhuling) (1 qian)
Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens (Shengjiang) (3 slices)
This formula uses Poria (Fuling), Cinnamon Twig (Guizhi), Exocarpium Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Rubrum (Ju Hong), Pinelliae Rhizoma Preparatum (Banxia), and Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens (Shengjiang) to treat the root cause of fluid retention. Mori Cortex (Mulberry Root Bark), Perillae Fructus (Suzi), and Pruni Armeniacae Semium (Xingren) are used to drain Lung Qi. Arecae Pericarpium (Dafupi), Alismatis Rhizoma (Zexie), and Polyporus (Zhuling) are used to promote urination and move water. This represents simultaneous treatment of the Lung and Spleen.
