忌酒与热物，此方可服一年。（此方以生地、麦冬凉血热，秦艽、地骨除骨热，其三味皆治血
脉凝滞之物也，少加红花，以见生血之功。专忌酒热，以免助热之累。然非真郁金，不能服

逍遥散：治疗血虚导致的劳倦，五心烦热（手心、脚心及心胸烦热），肢体疼痛，头目昏沉沉重，心悸面颊发红，口燥咽干，发热盗汗，食欲减退嗜睡，以及血热相互搏结，月经不调，脐腹部胀满疼痛，寒热往来像疟疾一样。又主治少女血弱阴虚，营卫不和，痰嗽潮热，肢体消瘦，逐渐形成骨蒸（一种慢性消耗性疾病，感觉热自骨髓发出）。
当归（酒洗） 白芍药（酒炒） 白术 白茯苓 柴胡（各一钱） 甘草（炙，五分，另一版本用一钱半）
以上药材切碎成散剂，用水一盏半，生姜三片，麦门冬二十粒去心，煎至七分，不拘时间服用。另一版本加少许薄荷，不用麦冬（这最适合治疗肝脾血虚，肝气郁结不能舒展而发热的情况。引用麦冬是为了去除五心的烦热，引用薄荷是为了清解肌骨的热邪，一个开表，一个清里，显示出不同之处，都是因病用药）。热势严重，加牡丹皮、栀子炒。骨蒸，加知母、地骨皮。咳嗽，加五味子、紫菀。吐痰，加半夏、贝母、栝蒌仁。饮食不消化，加山楂、神曲。发渴，加麦门冬、天花粉。胸中发热，加黄连、栀子。心慌，加远志、酸枣仁。吐血，加阿胶、生地黄、牡丹皮。自汗，加黄芩、酸枣仁。久泻，加炒黑干姜。遍身疼痛，加羌活、防风、川芎，以利于关节。手足颤抖，加防风、荆芥、薄荷。生气导致胸膈痞闷，加枳实、青皮、香附。怒气伤肝，眼目昏花，加龙胆草、黄连、栀子。小腹痛，加玄胡索、香附子。经闭不通，加桃仁、红花、苏木。左腹有血块，加三棱、蓬术、桃仁、红花。右腹有气块，加木香、槟榔。（这些加法都平正稳妥，也可作为法则参考）
黄芪散：治疗妇人劳热消瘦，四肢烦疼，心中烦躁口干，不想饮食。
人参 黄芩 当归（各七钱半） 赤茯苓 赤芍药（炒） 黄芪 麦门冬（去心） 生地黄 地骨皮（各一两） 柴胡（一两半） 甘草（炙，一钱半）
以上药材切碎，每次服用四钱，用水一盏，生姜五片，煎至六分，去渣，随时温服。

黄芪（一两） 人参 白芍药 白茯苓 子芩（即黄芩，取幼根者） 麦门冬（去心） 生地黄（各半两） 苦梗（二钱半）
以上为粗末，先用竹叶一把，小麦七十粒，水三盏，姜三片，煎至一盏半，加入药末三钱，再煎至七分，去渣温服。（比前面的方子少四味药，且赤芍不同，由此可以得知补泻的意图。用竹叶、小麦作引子，重在调理心肺的意思）
知母散：治疗妇人劳热，身体消瘦壮热，四肢烦疼，咽喉不利，思食减少。
柴胡 生地黄（各一两） 知母 黄芩（炒） 赤芍药（炒） 射干 麦门冬（去心） 升麻（各七钱半） 甘草（炙微赤，半两）
以上为粗散，每次服用四钱，用水一中盏，入生姜半分，淡竹叶二十七张，同煎至六分，去渣，不拘时温服。（此方较前黄芪散无参、芪、归、茯、地骨，而加了知母、射干、升麻，其重点在于咽喉不利。然而参、芪有肺热还伤肺的禁忌，所以不用，而知母、射干又泻火动大便，也应当深思。如果思食减少是从咽喉不利来的，则可用；如果是从脾胃不足来的，则不可轻用，临症时自行审察）
半夏散：治疗妇人热劳，烦渴口干，身体消瘦无力，四肢疼痛，有时寒热，痰逆呕吐，不思饮食。
黄芪 北柴胡 鳖甲（醋炙，各一两） 大腹皮（七钱半） 半夏 知母 苦梗 人参 赤茯苓 秦艽 赤芍药 麦门冬 乌梅肉（各半两） 甘草（炙，二钱半）
以上为粗末，每次服用四钱，生姜三片，水煎温服。（现在人认为半夏、大腹之类性燥，是劳热的大忌，而古方却以半夏立名，用来治热劳，难道不是奇怪吗？而且说治烦渴口干，尤其奇怪。如秦艽可治肢节之疼，半夏可治痰逆之呕，鳖甲同柴胡以治寒热，乌梅同参、麦以治口干，至于大腹皮，又是监制参、芪滞气的，虽然奇怪有什么可疑呢？转而思考，又感叹如今不遵循古法的人太多了）
秦艽散：治疗心经有热，血脉凝滞，五心烦倦。
秦艽 麦门冬（各一两） 当归 生地黄（各半两） 地骨皮 郁金 苏木（各二钱半）
以上为细末，每次服用一钱半，用水一盏，红花少许，同煎至七分，温服。如果经脉调和，不用红花。忌酒和热物，此方可服用一年。（此方用地黄、麦冬凉血热，秦艽、地骨除骨热，这三味都是治疗血脉凝滞的药物，少加红花，以显示生血的功效。专门忌酒热，以免助热的累赘。然而如果不是真正的郁金，不能服用一年）
鳖甲地黄汤：治疗热劳，手足烦热，心悸怔忡闷乱，妇人血室有干血，身体消瘦，不长肌肉。
鳖甲（醋炙） 熟地黄（酒浸） 当归 柴胡 白术 茯苓 麦门冬（去心） 石斛 秦艽（各一两） 人参 肉桂（不见火） 甘草（炙）
以上切碎，每次服用四钱，生姜四片，乌梅半个，水煎温服。（此方用地黄、当归、麦门冬滋养荣血脉络，以四君子汤、石斛清胃补脾，柴胡、鳖甲、秦艽治疗骨蒸劳热，也是八物汤的加减方。然而用肉桂做佐药，我不敢相信这是治疗热劳的法度。即使作为法度，也必须审察脉症如何）
胡黄连散：治疗妇人热劳，身体消瘦、经脉不通，四肢疼痛，口干烦渴，不能安卧，饮食减少。
鳖甲（一两半，醋炙黄去裙） 天灵盖（酥炙黄） 柴胡 生地黄 地骨皮 黄芪 大黄（微炒） 犀角屑（各一两） 当归 胡黄连 青蒿 黄芩（各七钱半） 赤芍药 木香 麝香（细研，各半两）
以上为粗末，每次服用四钱，用水一中盏，入生姜一钱三分，桃柳心各七茎，煎至六分，去渣，不拘时温服。
犀角散：治疗妇人热劳，心胸烦热，不思饮食，四肢多疼，经脉涩滞。（此方与前胡黄连散大同小异，但力量自然悬殊很大）
犀角屑 黄芩 甘草（炙，各半两） 赤芍药 虎杖 茯苓 地骨皮 麦门冬（去心） 枳壳（麸炒微黄） 当归（各七钱半） 柴胡 红蓝花 鳖甲（醋炙黄，去裙，各一两）

以上为粗散，每次服用四钱，用水一中盏，入生姜半分，煎至六分去渣，随时温服。（赤芍、虎杖、土瓜根都破血通经，腹皮、枳壳宽胸理气，其他不过是清心凉血解热而已）
鳖甲散：治疗妇人热劳，发渴壮热，四肢烦疼，渐渐黄瘦，心胸躁闷。
鳖甲（醋炙黄去裙） 柴胡（各一两半） 麦门冬（去心，一两） 知母 川大黄（微炒） 地骨皮 赤芍药 黄芪 人参 黄芩 桑白皮（各七钱半） 甘草（炙微赤，半两）
以上为粗末，每次服用四钱，用水一中盏，入生姜半分，葱白五寸，豆豉五十粒，煎至六分去渣，随时温服。（按此四方，大同小异，而柴胡、赤芍、地骨、鳖甲则常相同，而参、芪、大黄、枳壳、大腹之类，则互有取舍，如同砍削木材，轮扁自有运斤的妙处，临症之际应当审察病症）
阿胶丸：治疗劳嗽，出血咯血，发热晡热（午后发热），口渴盗汗。
阿胶（炒） 生地黄 卷柏叶 山药（炒） 大蓟根 五味子（炒） 鸡苏（各一两） 柏子仁（炒） 人参 防风 麦冬（去心，各半两）
以上为末，炼蜜丸，如弹子大，每次服用一丸，细嚼，麦门冬煎汤送下。
猪肚丸：治疗妇人热劳消瘦。
北柴胡 赤茯苓 人参 黄芪（各一两） 黄连（三两） 地骨皮 木香（各半两） 桃仁（去皮尖） 鳖甲（各一两半）
以上为细末，用好猪肚一枚，洗净，将药末放入猪肚内，以线缝合，蒸令烂熟，在瓷器内研如膏，丸如梧桐子大，食前，粥饮送下三十丸，午食前再服。
Xiaoyao San (Free and Easy Wanderer Powder): Treats exhaustion due to blood deficiency, five-palm heat (heat sensation in the palms, soles, and chest), limb pain, heavy sensation in the head and eyes, palpitations with flushed cheeks, dry mouth and throat, fever with night sweats, reduced appetite with drowsiness, as well as fighting between blood heat, irregular menstruation, distending pain in the umbilical and abdominal regions, and alternating chills and fever resembling malaria. It also treats young women with weak blood and yin deficiency, disharmony of Ying (Nutritive) and Wei (Defensive) Qi, phlegm-cough with tidal fever, emaciation of limbs, gradually developing into bone-steaming consumption (a chronic consumptive disease characterized by a sensation of heat emanating from the bones).
Danggui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis, washed with wine) Baishao (Radix Paeoniae Alba, stir-fried with wine) Baizhu (Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae) Baifuling (Poria, white part) Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri) (each 1 qian) Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae, honey-fried, 5 fen; another version uses 1.5 qian)
The above herbs are cut into coarse pieces for decoction powder. Use 1.5 cups of water, 3 slices of Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger Rhizome), 20 grains of Maimendong (Radix Ophiopogonis, hearts removed), decoct until 0.7 cup remains. Take at any time. Another version adds a small amount of Bohe (Herba Menthae), without Maimendong (This is most suitable for treating fever caused by liver-spleen blood deficiency and stagnation of Wood Qi failing to disperse. The use of Maimendong removes the vexation of the five palms, while Bohe clears heat from the muscle and bone; one opens the exterior, the other clears the interior, showing differences, all prescribing medicine according to the disease). If heat is severe, add Mudanpi (Cortex Moutan) and Zhizi (Fructus Gardeniae), stir-fried. For bone-steaming, add Zhimu (Rhizoma Anemarrhenae) and Digupi (Cortex Lycii). For cough, add Wuweizi (Fructus Schisandrae) and Ziwan (Radix Asteris). For vomiting phlegm, add Banxia (Rhizoma Pinelliae), Beimu (Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae), and Gualouren (Semen Trichosanthis). For indigestion, add Shanzha (Fructus Crataegi) and Shenqu (Massa Medicata Fermentata). For thirst, add Maimendong and Tianhuafen (Radix Trichosanthis). For heat in the chest, add Huanglian (Rhizoma Coptidis) and Zhizi. For palpitations, add Yuanzhi (Radix Polygalae) and Suanzaoren (Semen Ziziphi Spinosae). For hematemesis, add Ejiao (Colla Corii Asini), Shengdihuang (Radix Rehmanniae Recens), and Mudanpi. For spontaneous sweating, add Huangqi (Radix Astragali) and Suanzaoren. For chronic diarrhea, add Chaohei Ganjiang (Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens, charred black). For generalized body pain, add Qianghuo (Rhizoma Notopterygii), Fangfeng (Radix Saposhnikoviae), and Chuanxiong (Rhizoma Chuanxiong), to benefit the joints. For trembling of hands and feet, add Fangfeng, Jingjie (Herba Schizonepetae), and Bohe. For irritability causing chest and diaphragm fullness, add Zhishi (Fructus Aurantii Immaturus), Qingpi (Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae Viride), and Xiangfu (Rhizoma Cyperi). For anger injuring the liver causing blurred vision, add Longdancao (Radix Gentianae), Huanglian, and Zhizi. For lower abdominal pain, add Yanhusuo (Rhizoma Corydalis) and Xiangfuzi (Fructus Cyperi Rotundi). For amenorrhea, add Taoren (Semen Persicae), Honghua (Flos Carthami), and Sumu (Lignum Sappan). For blood masses on the left abdomen, add Sanleng (Rhizoma Sparganii), Pengze (Rhizoma Curcumae), Taoren, and Honghua. For qi masses on the right abdomen, add Muxiang (Radix Aucklandiae), and Binglang (Semen Arecae). (These modifications are balanced and serve as valid methods.)
Huangqi San (Astragalus Powder): Treats women with consumption-heat and emaciation, painful and vexed limbs, mental restlessness with dry mouth, and loss of appetite.
Renshen (Radix Ginseng) Huangqin (Radix Scutellariae) Danggui (each 7.5 qian) Chi Fuling (Poria, red part) Chi Shaoyao (Radix Paeoniae Rubra, stir-fried) Huangqi (Radix Astragali) Maimendong (Radix Ophiopogonis, hearts removed) Shengdihuang (Radix Rehmanniae Recens) Digupi (Cortex Lycii) (each 1 liang) Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri, 1.5 liang) Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae, honey-fried, 1.5 qian)
The above herbs are cut into coarse pieces. Each dose is 4 qian, decocted with 1 cup of water and 5 slices of Shengjiang until 0.6 cup remains. Strain and take warm at any time.
Ziqin San (Young Scutellaria Powder): Cools the Heart and Lungs, resolves consumption-heat, harmonizes Ying and Wei Qi, and ensures uninterrupted blood flow.
Huangqi (Radix Astragali, 1 liang) Renshen (Radix Ginseng) Baishao (Radix Paeoniae Alba) Baifuling (Poria, white part) Ziqin (Radix Scutellariae, young root) Maimendong (Radix Ophiopogonis, hearts removed) Shengdihuang (Radix Rehmanniae Recens) (each 0.5 liang) Kugen (Radix Platycodonis, 2.5 qian)
The above are made into coarse powder. First, decoct a handful of Zhuye (Leaf of Bambusa Textilis) and 70 grains of Xiaomai (Fructus Tritici Levis) in 3 cups of water with 3 slices of Jiang (Ginger) until 1.5 cups remain. Add 3 qian of the herb powder and decoct again until 0.7 cup remains. Strain and take warm. (Compared to the previous formula, it lacks four ingredients, and uses Chi Shaoyao instead, revealing the intent of tonification and purging. The use of Zhuye and Xiaomai as guides emphasizes the focus on the Heart and Lungs.)
Zhimu San (Anemarrhena Powder): Treats women with consumption-heat, emaciation with high fever, painful and vexed limbs, throat discomfort, and reduced desire for food.
Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri) Shengdihuang (Radix Rehmanniae Recens) (each 1 liang) Zhimu (Rhizoma Anemarrhenae) Huangqin (Radix Scutellariae, stir-fried) Chi Shaoyao (Radix Paeoniae Rubra, stir-fried) Shegan (Rhizoma Belamcandae) Maimendong (Radix Ophiopogonis, hearts removed) Shengma (Rhizoma Cimicifugae) (each 7.5 qian) Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae, honey-fried and slightly reddened, 0.5 liang)
The above are made into coarse powder. Each dose is 4 qian, decocted with 1 medium cup of water, 0.5 slice of Shengjiang, and 27 leaves of Dan Zhuye (Leaf of Bambusa Textilis) until 0.6 cup remains. Strain and take warm at any time. (This formula differs from the previous Huangqi San by lacking Renshen, Huangqi, Danggui, Fuling, and Digupi, but adding Zhimu, Shegan, and Shengma, focusing on throat discomfort. However, Renshen and Huangqi have warnings against harming the lungs if lung heat exists, hence their exclusion. Zhimu and Shegan purge fire and may loosen bowels, requiring careful consideration. If reduced appetite stems from throat discomfort, it can be used; if from spleen-stomach insufficiency, it should not be used lightly. Examine clinically.)
Banxia San (Pinellia Powder): Treats women with heat-consumption, vexed thirst and dry mouth, emaciation and weakness, limb pain, occasional chills and fever, rebellious phlegm and vomiting, and loss of appetite.
Huangqi (Radix Astragali) Bei Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri) Biejia (Carapax et Plastrum Testudinis, vinegar-fried) (each 1 liang) Dafupi (Pericarpium Arecae) (7.5 qian) Banxia (Rhizoma Pinelliae) Zhimu (Rhizoma Anemarrhenae) Kugen (Radix Platycodonis) Renshen (Radix Ginseng) Chi Fuling (Poria, red part) Qinjiao (Radix Gentianae Macrophyllae) Chi Shaoyao (Radix Paeoniae Rubra) Maimendong (Radix Ophiopogonis) Wumei Rou (Endocarpium Pruni Mume) (each 0.5 liang) Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae, honey-fried, 2.5 qian)
The above are made into coarse powder. Each dose is 4 qian, decocted with 3 slices of Shengjiang in water and taken warm. (Modern practitioners consider Banxia and Dafupi, being drying, contraindicated for consumption-heat, yet ancient formulas name this after Banxia to treat heat-consumption, which seems strange. Moreover, claiming it treats vexed thirst and dry mouth is even more peculiar. However, Qinjiao treats joint pain, Banxia treats rebellious phlegm vomiting, Biejia combined with Chaihu treats chills and fever, and Wumei combined with Renshen and Maimendong treats dry mouth. Dafupi controls the stagnating qi of Renshen and Huangqi. Though strange, there is no doubt. Reflecting on this, one laments that many today do not follow ancient methods.)
Qinjiao San (Gentian Powder): Treats heat in the Heart Meridian, coagulation and stasis of blood vessels, and five-palm vexation and fatigue.
Qinjiao (Radix Gentianae Macrophyllae) Maimendong (Radix Ophiopogonis) (each 1 liang) Danggui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) Shengdihuang (Radix Rehmanniae Recens) (each 0.5 liang) Digupi (Cortex Lycii) Yujin (Radix Curcumae) Sumu (Lignum Sappan) (each 2.5 qian)
The above are made into fine powder. Each dose is 1.5 qian, decocted with 1 cup of water and a small amount of Honghua (Flos Carthami) until 0.7 cup remains. Take warm. If meridians are harmonized, do not use Honghua. Avoid alcohol and hot foods. This formula can be taken for one year. (This formula uses Dihuang and Maimendong to cool blood heat, Qinjiao and Digupi to remove bone-heat; these three treat blood vessel stasis. Adding a little Honghua demonstrates the function of generating blood. Strictly avoid alcohol and heat to prevent aggravating heat. However, only true Yujin allows for one year of use.)
Biejia Dihuang Tang (Softshell Turtle and Rehmannia Decoction): Treats heat-consumption, vexed hands and feet, palpitations and oppression, dry blood in the Blood Chamber of women, emaciation, and failure to build muscle.
Biejia (Carapax et Plastrum Testudinis, vinegar-fried) Shu Dihuang (Radix Rehmanniae Praeparata, wine-soaked) Danggui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri) Baizhu (Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae) Fuling (Poria) Maimendong (Radix Ophiopogonis, hearts removed) Shihu (Caulis Dendrobii) Qinjiao (Radix Gentianae Macrophyllae) (each 1 liang) Renshen (Radix Ginseng) Rougui (Cortex Cinnamomi, not exposed to fire) Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae, honey-fried)
The above are cut. Each dose is 4 qian, decocted with 4 slices of Shengjiang and half a Wumei (Fructus Pruni Mume) in water and taken warm. (This formula uses Dihuang, Danggui, and Maimendong to nourish Ying blood and vessels, Si Jun Zi Tang elements and Shihu to clear the stomach and tonify the spleen, and Chaihu, Biejia, and Qinjiao to treat bone-steaming consumption-heat. It is also a modification of Ba Wu Tang. However, using Rougui as an assistant makes me hesitant to accept it as a standard method for heat-consumption. Even if used as a method, pulse and symptoms must be carefully examined.)
Huhuanglian San (Coptis Chinensis Powder): Treats women with heat-consumption, emaciation, unblocked meridians, limb pain, dry mouth with vexed thirst, insomnia, and reduced diet.
Biejia (Carapax et Plastrum Testudinis, 1.5 liang, vinegar-fried until yellow, skirt removed) Tianlinggai (Os Cranii Humanum, fried in butter until yellow) Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri) Shengdihuang (Radix Rehmanniae Recens) Digupi (Cortex Lycii) Huangqi (Radix Astragali) Dahuang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, slightly stir-fried) Xijiao Xie (Cornu Rhinocerotis, shaved) (each 1 liang) Danggui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) Huhuanglian (Rhizoma Coptidis Chinensis) Qinghao (Herba Artemisiae Annuae) Huangqin (Radix Scutellariae) (each 7.5 qian) Chi Shaoyao (Radix Paeoniae Rubra) Muxiang (Radix Aucklandiae) Shexiang (Moschus, finely ground) (each 0.5 liang)
The above are made into coarse powder. Each dose is 4 qian, decocted with 1 medium cup of water, 1.3 qian of Shengjiang, and 7 stalks each of Tao Xin (Heart of Peach Twig) and Liu Xin (Heart of Willow Twig) until 0.6 cup remains. Strain and take warm at any time.
Xijiao San (Rhino Horn Powder): Treats women with heat-consumption, vexed heat in the chest and heart, loss of appetite, frequent limb pain, and sluggish meridians. (This is largely similar to the previous Huhuanglian San, but the potency is significantly different.)
Xijiao Xie (Cornu Rhinocerotis, shaved) Huangqin (Radix Scutellariae) Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae, honey-fried) (each 0.5 liang) Chi Shaoyao (Radix Paeoniae Rubra) Huzhang (Rhizoma Polygoni Cuspidati) Fuling (Poria) Digupi (Cortex Lycii) Maimendong (Radix Ophiopogonis, hearts removed) Zhike (Fructus Aurantii, bran-fried until slightly yellow) Danggui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) (each 7.5 qian) Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri) Honglanhua (Flos Carthami) Biejia (Carapax et Plastrum Testudinis, vinegar-fried until yellow, skirt removed) (each 1 liang)

Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri, 1.5 liang) Honglanhua (Flos Carthami) Shengdihuang (Radix Rehmanniae Recens) Chi Shaoyao (Radix Paeoniae Rubra) Danggui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) Guijianyu (Ramulus Corni) Huzhang (Rhizoma Polygoni Cuspidati) Dafupi (Pericarpium Arecae) Maimendong (Radix Ophiopogonis, hearts removed) Tugua Gen (Radix Cucumeris Melon) Digupi (Cortex Lycii) Zhike (Fructus Aurantii, bran-fried) (each 1 liang) Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae, honey-fried, 0.5 liang)
The above are made into coarse powder. Each dose is 4 qian, decocted with 1 medium cup of water and 0.5 slice of Shengjiang until 0.6 cup remains. Strain and take warm at any time. (Chi Shaoyao, Huzhang, and Tugua Gen all break blood and unblock meridians; Dafupi and Zhike broaden the chest and regulate qi; others merely clear the heart, cool blood, and resolve heat.)
Biejia San (Softshell Turtle Powder): Treats women with heat-consumption, thirst with high fever, painful and vexed limbs, gradual yellowing and emaciation, and mental restlessness and oppression in the chest.
Biejia (Carapax et Plastrum Testudinis, vinegar-fried until yellow, skirt removed) Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri) (each 1.5 liang) Maimendong (Radix Ophiopogonis, hearts removed, 1 liang) Zhimu (Rhizoma Anemarrhenae) Chuan Dahuang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, slightly stir-fried) Digupi (Cortex Lycii) Chi Shaoyao (Radix Paeoniae Rubra) Huangqi (Radix Astragali) Renshen (Radix Ginseng) Huangqin (Radix Scutellariae) Sangbaipi (Cortex Mori Radicis) (each 7.5 qian) Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae, honey-fried and slightly reddened, 0.5 liang)

Strain and take warm at any time. (According to these four formulas, they are largely similar with minor differences. Chaihu, Chi Shaoyao, Digupi, and Biejia are commonly shared, while Renshen, Huangqi, Dahuang, Zhike, and Dafupi vary in inclusion or exclusion. Like a wheelwright's skill, there is subtlety in application; clinical examination of symptoms is essential.)
Ejiao Wan (Donkey-Hide Gelatin Pill): Treats consumption-cough, bleeding and hemoptysis, fever with afternoon exacerbation (buke fever), thirst, and night sweats.
Ejiao (Colla Corii Asini, stir-fried) Shengdihuang (Radix Rehmanniae Recens) Juanboye (Herba Selaginellae Tamariscinae) Shanyao (Rhizoma Dioscoreae, stir-fried) Daji Gen (Radix Taraxaci) Wuweizi (Fructus Schisandrae, stir-fried) Jisu (Herba Elsholtziae) (each 1 liang) Baiziren (Semen Biotae) (stir-fried) Renshen (Radix Ginseng) Fangfeng (Radix Saposhnikoviae) Maidong (Radix Ophiopogonis, hearts removed) (each 0.5 liang)

Form pills the size of wutong seeds. Take 30 pills before meals with congee drink, and another dose before noon meal.
