雷公真君曰∶血燥肺干，又生痈疽者，多不可救，恐无血以济之也。此等病多得之膏粱之
人，纵情房帏，精血大耗，又忍精而战。精不化而变为脓血，乃阴毒，非阳毒也。如以治阳毒法治之，则
死矣。我今特留奇方，名化痈汤。金银花五两，荆芥三钱，白芥子三钱，肉桂三分，当归三两，
元参三两，水煎服。一剂而阴变阳矣，二剂而未溃者全消，已溃者生肉，三剂即愈，四剂收功，神效
之极。倘疮口大溃大烂，已成坏症者，肯服吾方，亦断无性命之忧，坚守长服，断必收功。盖此方消毒
而不散气，尚补而不尚攻，治阴毒之痈疽，实有鬼神莫测之妙。
血崩之后，口舌燥裂，不能饮食者死。盖亡血自然无血以生精，精涸则津亦涸，必然之势也。
欲使口舌之干者重润，必须使精血之竭者重生。补精之方，六味丸最妙。然而六味丸，单补肾中
之精，而不能上补口舌之津也。虽补肾于下，亦能通津于上，然终觉缓不济急。吾今定一奇方，上下
兼补，名上下相资汤。熟地一两，山茱萸五钱，葳蕤五钱，人参三钱，元参三钱，沙参五钱，当归
五钱，麦冬一两，北五味二钱，牛膝五钱，车前子一钱，水煎服。此方补肾为君，而佐之补肺之药，子
母相资，上下兼润、精生而液亦生，血生而
津亦生矣，安在已死之症，不可庆再生耶。
燥症，舌干肿大，溺血，大便又便血不止，亦是死症，盖夏感暑热之毒，至秋而燥极，肺金清
肃之令不行，大小便热极而齐便血也。论理见血宜治血矣，然而治血，血偏不止，反至燥添而不可救。吾
不治血，专治燥，方用兼润丸，熟地一两，元参二两，麦冬二两，沙参二两，车前子五钱，地榆三钱，
生地五钱，当归一两，白芍一两，水煎服。一剂轻，二剂血止，便有生机也。此方纯是补血妙
品，惟用地榆以清火，车前子以利水，火清水利，不必治血，血自止也。
干燥火炽，大肠阴尽，遂至粪如羊屎，名为肠结，不治之症也。然而阴尽即宜死，今不死而肠
结，是阴犹未尽也。真阴一日不尽，则一日不死；一线不绝，则一线可生。吾有奇方，专补其阴，
使阴生而火息，阴旺而肠宽也。方用生阴开结汤∶熟地二两，元参一两，当归一两、生地五钱，
牛膝五钱，麦冬五钱，山茱萸五钱，山药三钱，肉苁蓉五钱、酒洗淡，水煎服。一连数剂，肠结可
开，粪即不如羊屎矣，可望再生。然必须日日一剂，三月终，改用六味地黄汤，或不用汤，而用丸调
理岁余，永无肠结之苦也。
燥症干甚，小肠细小，不能出便，胀甚欲死者，亦不治之症也。而我欲治之者何？盖小肠之开
合，小肠不得而司令，肾操其权也。倘徒治小肠，则小肠益虚，失其传导之官，而胀且益甚。我今不
治小肠而专治肾，则肾气开，小肠亦开也。方名治本消水汤。熟地二两，山茱萸一两，车前子五
钱，麦冬一两，北五味二钱，茯苓五钱，牛膝三钱，刘寄奴三钱，水煎服。一剂少通，再剂肠宽，
小便如注矣。方用熟地、山茱萸以补肾，麦冬、五味补肺气，以使清肃之气下行于膀胱。茯苓，车前
分消水势，牛膝、寄奴借其迅速之气，导其下行
而不使上壅，此肾气通，水亦顺也。
肺燥复耗之，必有吐血之苦，久则成肺痿矣，如何可治。然我乘其未痿之前而先治之，何尽至
于死乎。方用救痿丹∶麦冬三两，元参三两，金银花三两，白芥子三钱，桔梗三钱，生甘草三钱，水煎
服。此方专资肺气，虽用金银花之解毒，仍是补阴之妙药，故肺痿可解。而吐血之症又不相犯。倘专
治肺痿，则肺痿未必愈，而血症重犯，不可救药矣，故必用吾方而肺痿可愈也。
燥极生风，手足牵掣者，死症也。盖脾胃干枯，不能分荫于手足，故四肢牵掣而动。风生于火。肝
木又加燥极，复来克土，则脾胃更虚，愈难滋润于手足，而牵掣正无已时也。方用润肢汤∶人参一两，
元参一两，当归一两，白芍一两，炒栀子三钱，麦冬一两，山药五钱，水煎服。一剂少安，再剂渐定，
三剂而风止矣。此方用人参、山药生胃以健脾、归、芍平肝以生血，麦冬以生肺气，元参、炒栀子清火
去风，兼且解燥，内热既除，外症牵掣自愈，死症可望生也。
燥热之极，已生 郁之症，不可起床者，不治之症也。 郁者，两胁胀满，不可左右卧，而又不能
起床，此肝经少血，而胃气干枯，久之肾气亦竭，骨中无髓，渐成痿废，如何可治。不知此症起于夏
令之热，烁尽肺金之津，不能下生肾水，遂至肾水不能生肝木，木不能生心火，火不能生脾土，而成
郁也。然则只救肺肾，而脾胃不治自舒矣。方用金水两资汤∶熟地一两，山茱萸五钱，麦冬一
两，北五味二钱，人参一两，白芍一两，水煎服。此方虽曰金水两资，实肾肝肺三经同治，盖补肺肾则
金水有源，燥症自润∶若不平肝木，则胃气难生，未易生精生液，欲骨坚能步，胁安能卧，不易得矣，
所以补肾补肺之中，不可无治肝之圣药。白芍最能平
肝，且能生血，用之于补肾补肺之中，更善调剂，而奏功更神也，久服自有生机，但不可责其
近效耳。
燥极口吐白血者，不治之症也。夫血未有不红者也，如何吐白，不知久病之人，吐痰皆白沫
者，乃白血也。吐白沫何以名白血，以其状如蟹涎，绝无有败痰存乎其中。实血而非痰也。世人不
信，取所吐白沫，露于星光之下，一夜必变红矣。此沫出于肾，而肾火挟之沸腾于咽喉，不得不吐
者也，虽是白沫而实肾中之精，岂特血而已哉。苟不速治，则白沫变成绿痰，无可如何矣。方用六味
地黄汤∶熟地一两，山茱萸五钱，山药五钱，丹皮二钱，泽泻二钱，茯苓五钱，麦冬一两，北五味
一钱，水煎服。日日服之，自然白沫止而化为精也，沫化为精则生矣。
燥极一身无肉，嗌干面尘，体无膏泽，足心反热者，亦不治之症也。此血干而不能外养，精涸而不
能内润耳。吾有奇方，实可救之，名曰安润汤。当归五钱，白芍五钱，熟地一两，川芎二钱，麦冬五
钱，牛膝三钱，人参三钱，桑叶三十片，水煎服。此四物汤而加味者也。妙在加人参、桑叶，则四物
更加大补，一身之气血无不润，又何至干燥之苦哉。
燥症善惊，腰不能俯仰，丈夫 疝，妇人小腹痛，目盲 突者，不治之症也。然予谓可治者，以
诸症皆肾病也。肾虚可补，补肾则心中有血，可以止惊，补肾则腰中有精，可以俯仰，补肾则任督有
水，男子去疝，而女子可去痛，又何患目盲 突之小症乎。予今特传一方，名资本润燥汤。熟地二
两，桑叶三十片，山茱萸五钱，沙参一两，白术一两，甘菊花三钱，水煎服。此方纯是补肾，而少佐之
健脾者何也？善燥甚必口渴，口渴必多饮水，水多则腰必有水气而不得散。白术最利腰脐，又得熟地
补肾之药，则白术不燥，转得相助
以成功，此立方之妙也。倘遇此等病，即以吾方投之，未有不生者。
燥症咳嗽，已伤肺矣，复加吐血吐脓，乌得不死，而必欲生之迂矣。不知燥症以致咳嗽，原是外
感，非比内伤，虽吐脓血，亦因咳嗽之伤而来。救咳嗽而肺金有养，嗽止而脓血亦消也。方用养肺救
燥丹∶麦冬三两，金银花三两，元参三两，甘草三钱，天门冬三钱，桔梗三钱，水煎服。此方单
入肺经以润津液，兼消浮火而止脓血，内气既润，外感又除，何愁死症之难制哉。
产后血燥而晕，不省人事，此呼吸危亡时也。盖因亡血过多，旧血既出，新血不能骤生，阴
阳不能接续，以致如此。方用救晕至圣丹∶人参一两，当归二两，川芎一两，白术一两，熟地一
两，炒黑干姜一钱，水煎服。人参以救脱；归、芎以逐瘀生新；熟地、白术利腰脐而补脾肾，黑姜引
血归经以止晕，一剂便可获效。夺死为生，真返魂之妙方也。
产妇产后，大便燥闭，欲解不能、不解不可，燥躁身热者，往往不救。盖此症因亡血过多，肠中无
肾水以相资，所以艰涩而不得出，一用大黄下之，鲜不死矣，必须用地黄汤大补之，亦有生者。但不
论服之效与不效，日日与服一剂，或四五日，或十余日，自然大便出而愈，切勿见其一二服不效，即用
降火之剂以杀之也。吾今酌定地黄汤∶熟地二两，山茱萸一两，山药五钱；丹皮五钱、泽泻三钱，茯苓
三钱，麦冬一两，北五味一钱，水煎服。照吾分两，治大便燥结俱妙，不独产妇产后之闭结也。
产妇产后，失血衄血，症俱不治。盖血少而又耗之也。然肯服六味地黄丸，亦能不死。而予更
有奇方，名止失汤。人参一两、当归五钱、麦冬三钱，山茱萸五钱，三七根末三
钱，水煎调服。一剂而血止，再剂而有生气矣。此方补气血以顾产，滋肺脉以救燥，止血以防脱，用
之咸宜，所以奏功独神，胜于六味汤也。产后血燥成瘵症者，乃产怯也。亦缘产时，失于调理，故
成痨瘵，如何可治。亦于未成之先，而急治之乎。或于一月之外，见怯弱而不能起床者，急用救痨丹
救之∶熟地一两，当归一两，黄 一两，人参一两，鳖甲五钱，山茱萸五钱，麦冬一两、白芍五钱，
白芥子一钱，水煎服。此方气血双补，不寒不热，初起痨瘵最宜，而产后尤能奏效。乘其初起，投
以此方，无不生者。万勿因循，至于日久而不可救也。
产后血崩不止，口舌燥裂，不治之症也。然以大补药救之，往往有生者。予有奇方，名定崩救产
汤。人参一两，当归一两，黄 一两，白术一两，三七根末三钱，水煎服。此方亦补气血，不纯去
止崩，而血自止，所以为妙。止三七根末乃止崩之味，然又是补药，同群共济，收功独神，血崩止而
口舌燥裂亦愈也。倘惟图止崩不去补虚，则血崩不止而死矣。
雷公真君说：血燥肺干，又生出痈疽的，大多不可救治，恐怕是因为没有血液来滋养的缘故。这类病多见于饮食肥甘厚味之人，纵情房事，精血大量耗损，又强忍精液不泄而进行性交。精液不能正常化生而变为脓血，这是阴毒，不是阳毒。如果用治疗阳毒的方法来治疗，病人就会死亡。我现在特意留下一个奇方，名叫化痈汤。金银花五两，荆芥三钱，白芥子三钱，肉桂三分，当归三两，元参三两，用水煎服。服用一剂后阴证转为阳证，二剂后未溃破的完全消散，已溃破的长出肌肉，三剂即痊愈，四剂收功，效果神妙至极。如果疮口大溃大烂，已成坏症的，肯服用我的方子，也绝对没有性命之忧，坚持长期服用，必定能收到疗效。因为这个方子消毒而不耗散正气，重在补益而非攻伐，治疗阴毒引起的痈疽，实在有鬼神都难以测度的奇妙之处。
血崩之后，口舌干燥裂开，不能进食的，是死症。因为失血过多自然导致无血以生成精，精枯竭则津液也随之枯竭，这是必然的趋势。想要让口舌干燥者重新滋润，必须让枯竭的精血重新生成。补精的方剂中，六味丸最妙。然而六味丸只补肾中的精，而不能上补口舌的津液。虽然在下焦补肾，也能通调津液至上焦，但终究觉得缓慢而不能救急。我现在定下一个奇方，上下兼补，名叫上下相资汤。熟地黄一两，山茱萸五钱，葳蕤五钱，人参三钱，元参三钱，沙参五钱，当归五钱，麦冬一两，北五味子二钱，牛膝五钱，车前子一钱，用水煎服。这个方子以补肾为主，辅以补肺的药物，子母相生，上下同时滋润，精生则液生，血生则津生，哪里还有已经死亡的病症不能起死回生的呢？
燥症，舌头干燥肿大，尿血，大便又便血不止，也是死症，这是因为夏天感受暑热之毒，到了秋天燥气极盛，肺金清肃的功能不行，大小便热极而同时便血。按理说见血应该治血了，然而治血，血偏不止，反而加重燥症而不可救治。我不治血，专门治燥，方用兼润丸，熟地黄一两，元参二两，麦冬二两，沙参二两，车前子五钱，地榆三钱，生地黄五钱，当归一两，白芍一两，用水煎服。一剂症状减轻，二剂血止，就有生机了。这个方子纯粹是补血的妙品，只用用地榆来清火，车前子来利水，火清水利，不必治血，血自然停止。
干燥火炽，大肠阴液耗尽，以至于粪便像羊屎一样，名为肠结，是不治之症。然而阴液耗尽本该死亡，现在不死而肠结，说明阴液还没有完全耗尽。真阴一天没有耗尽，就一天不会死；一线生机不绝，就有一线可生。我有奇方，专门补其阴，使阴生而火息，阴旺而肠道宽畅。方用生阴开结汤：熟地黄二两，元参一两，当归一两，生地黄五钱，牛膝五钱，麦冬五钱，山茱萸五钱，山药三钱，肉苁蓉五钱（酒洗淡），用水煎服。连续服用数剂，肠结可以开通，粪便就不再像羊屎了，有望再生。然而必须每天服用一剂，三个月结束后，改用六味地黄汤，或者不用汤药，而用丸药调理一年多，永远没有肠结的痛苦。
燥症非常严重，小肠细小，不能排出大便，胀满痛苦欲死的，也是不治之症。但我想要治疗它为什么呢？因为小肠的开合功能，小肠自己不能主宰，是由肾来控制的。如果只治疗小肠，那么小肠更加虚弱，失去传导的功能，胀满会更加严重。我现在不治疗小肠而专门治疗肾，那么肾气通畅，小肠也就通畅了。方名治本消水汤。熟地黄二两，山茱萸一两，车前子五钱，麦冬一两，北五味子二钱，茯苓五钱，牛膝三钱，刘寄奴三钱，用水煎服。一剂稍微通畅，再剂肠道宽畅，小便如注了。方中用熟地黄、山茱萸来补肾，麦冬、五味子补肺气，以使清肃之气下行于膀胱。茯苓、车前子分消水势，牛膝、刘寄奴借助其迅速的气机，引导下行而不使上壅，这样肾气通畅，水液也顺行了。
肺燥再次被耗伤，必然有吐血的痛苦，久了就成肺痿了，怎么能治疗呢？然而我在肺痿形成之前先治疗它，怎么会至于死亡呢。方用救痿丹：麦冬三两，元参三两，金银花三两，白芥子三钱，桔梗三钱，生甘草三钱，用水煎服。这个方子专门资助肺气，虽然用了金银花的解毒，仍然是补阴的妙药，所以肺痿可以解除。而且吐血的症状又不相干扰。如果专门治疗肺痿，那么肺痿未必痊愈，而血症会严重复发，不可救治了，所以必须用我的方子而肺痿可以痊愈。
燥极生风，手足抽搐牵引的，是死症。因为脾胃干枯，不能分润滋养于手足，所以四肢抽搐而动。风生于火。肝木又加上燥极，反过来克制脾土，那么脾胃更虚，更难滋润于手足，而抽搐就没有休止的时候。方用润肢汤：人参一两，元参一两，当归一两，白芍一两，炒栀子三钱，麦冬一两，山药五钱，用水煎服。一剂稍安，再剂逐渐安定，三剂风止了。这个方子用人参、山药生胃以健脾，归、芍平肝以生血，麦冬以生肺气，元参、炒栀子清火去风，兼且解燥，内热既然消除，外症抽搐自然痊愈，死症可望生存。
燥热之极，已经产生郁证的病症，不能起床的，是不治之症。郁证，是指两胁胀满，不能左右卧，而又不能起床，这是肝经少血，而胃气干枯，久了肾气也竭尽，骨中没有髓，渐渐成为痿废，怎么能治疗呢？不知道这个病症起于夏令的热，烧尽了肺金的津液，不能下生肾水，以至于肾水不能生肝木，木不能生心火，火不能生脾土，而形成郁证。然而只要只救肺肾，而脾胃不治自然舒展了。方用金水两资汤：熟地黄一两，山茱萸五钱，麦冬一两，北五味子二钱，人参一两，白芍一两，用水煎服。这个方子虽然说金水两资，实际上是肾肝肺三经同治，因为补肺肾则金水有源头，燥症自然滋润；如果不平肝木，那么胃气难生，不容易生精生液，想要骨头坚硬能行走，两胁安宁能卧倒，不容易得到了，所以在补肾补肺之中，不可没有治肝的圣药。白芍最能平肝，且能生血，用在补肾补肺之中，更善于调剂，而奏效更神奇，久服自有生机，只是不能要求它有近效罢了。
燥极口吐白血的，是不治之症。血没有不红的，怎么吐白的呢？不知道久病的人，吐痰都是白沫的，乃是白血。吐白沫为什么叫白血，因为它的形状像蟹涎，绝无败痰存在于其中。确实是血而不是痰。世人不相信，取所吐的白沫，暴露在星光之下，一夜必然变红了。这白沫出于肾，而肾火挟持它在咽喉沸腾，不得不吐出来，虽然是白沫而实际上是肾中的精，岂止是血而已呢。如果不快速治疗，那么白沫变成绿痰，就无可奈何了。方用六味地黄汤：熟地黄一两，山茱萸五钱，山药五钱，丹皮二钱，泽泻二钱，茯苓五钱，麦冬一两，北五味子一钱，用水煎服。天天服用，自然白沫停止而化为精，沫化为精就生存了。
燥极一身无肉，咽喉干燥，面色如尘，身体没有光泽，足心反热的，也是不治之症。这是血干而不能外养，精枯竭而不能内润。我有奇方，确实可以救治，名叫安润汤。当归五钱，白芍五钱，熟地黄一两，川芎二钱，麦冬五钱，牛膝三钱，人参三钱，桑叶三十片，用水煎服。这个是四物汤加味而成的。妙在加入人参、桑叶，那么四物汤更加大补，一身的气血无不滋润，又何至于干燥的痛苦呢。
燥症善惊，腰不能俯仰，男子疝气，妇人小腹痛，目盲眼突的，是不治之症。然而我认为可以治疗，因为这些症状都是肾病。肾虚可以补，补肾则心中有血，可以止惊，补肾则腰中有精，可以俯仰，补肾则任督二脉有水，男子可以去疝，女子可以去痛，又何患目盲眼突的小症状呢。我如今特别传授一方，名叫资本润燥汤。熟地黄二两，桑叶三十片，山茱萸五钱，沙参一两，白术一两，甘菊花三钱，用水煎服。这个方子纯粹是补肾，而稍微佐以健脾的是什么原因呢？善于燥甚必口渴，口渴必多饮水，水多则腰部必有水气而不能散。白术最利于腰脐，又得到熟地黄补肾的药，那么白术就不燥，转而得到相助以成功，这是立方的妙处。如果遇到这种病，就用我的方子投治，没有不活的。
燥症咳嗽，已经伤了肺，再加上吐血吐脓，怎能不死，而一定要让它活是迂腐的。不知道燥症以致咳嗽，原来是外感，不像内伤，虽然吐脓血，也是因为咳嗽的损伤而来。救咳嗽而肺金得到滋养，嗽止而脓血也消除了。方用养肺救燥丹：麦冬三两，金银花三两，元参三两，甘草三钱，天门冬三钱，桔梗三钱，用水煎服。这个方子单入肺经以润津液，兼消浮火而止脓血，内气既润，外感又除，何愁死症难以控制呢。
产后血燥而晕，不省人事，这是呼吸危亡的时刻。因为因失血过多，旧血既出，新血不能骤然生成，阴阳不能接续，以至于如此。方用救晕至圣丹：人参一两，当归二两，川芎一两，白术一两，熟地黄一两，炒黑干姜一钱，用水煎服。人参以救脱；归、芎以逐瘀生新；熟地、白术利腰脐而补脾肾，黑姜引血归经以止晕，一剂便可获得疗效。夺死为生，真是返魂的妙方。
产妇产后，大便燥闭，想解不能、不解不可，燥躁身热的，往往不能救治。因为这个病症因为失血过多，肠中没有肾水来资助，所以艰涩而不得出，一旦用大黄泻下，很少有不死的，必须用地黄汤大补之，也有活的。但不论服药有效与否，天天给服一剂，或四五日，或十余日，自然大便出而痊愈，千万不要见一二服不效，就用降火的药剂来杀之。我如今斟酌定下的地黄汤：熟地黄二两，山茱萸一两，山药五钱；丹皮五钱、泽泻三钱，茯苓三钱，麦冬一两，北五味子一钱，用水煎服。按照我的分量，治疗大便燥结都非常好，不只是产妇产后的闭结。
产妇产后，失血衄血，症状都不治。因为血少而又耗伤它。然而肯服用六味地黄丸，也能不死。而我更有奇方，名叫止失汤。人参一两、当归五钱、麦冬三钱，山茱萸五钱，三七根末三钱，用水煎调服。一剂而血止，再剂而有生气了。这个方子补气血以顾护产后，滋肺脉以救燥，止血以防脱，使用都很适宜，所以奏效独神，胜于六味汤。产后血燥成瘵症（劳瘵）的，乃是产怯。也是因为生产时，失于调理，所以成痨瘵，怎么能治疗呢。也是在未形成之前，而紧急治疗它呢。或者在一个月之外，见怯弱而不能起床的，紧急用救痨丹救之：熟地黄一两，当归一两，黄芪一两，人参一两，鳖甲五钱，山茱萸五钱，麦冬一两、白芍五钱，白芥子一钱，用水煎服。这个方子气血双补，不寒不热，初起痨瘵最合适，而产后尤其能奏效。乘其初起，投以此方，没有不活的。千万不要因循，以至于日久不可救治。
产后血崩不止，口舌燥裂，是不治之症。然而以大补药救治，往往有活的。我有奇方，名叫定崩救产汤。人参一两，当归一两，黄芪一两，白术一两，三七根末三钱，用水煎服。这个方子也是补气血，不纯去止崩，而血自止，所以为妙。止三七根末乃止崩的药味，然又是补药，同群共济，收效独神，血崩止而口舌燥裂也痊愈了。如果只图止崩不去补虚，那么血崩不止而死。
Lei Gong Zhen Jun said: When blood dryness and lung dryness occur together with the development of carbuncles and sores (Yong Ju), it is mostly incurable, likely due to the lack of blood to nourish the body. Such diseases are mostly contracted by those who consume rich and greasy foods, indulge in sexual activities, causing massive depletion of essence and blood, and further suppress ejaculation during intercourse. The essence fails to transform properly and turns into pus and blood; this is Yin toxicity (Yin Du), not Yang toxicity (Yang Du). If treated with methods for Yang toxicity, death will ensue. I now specially leave a miraculous prescription named Hua Yong Tang (Carbuncle-Transforming Decoction): Honeysuckle Flower (Jinyinhua) 5 liang, Schizonepeta (Jingjie) 3 qian, White Mustard Seed (Bai Jie Zi) 3 qian, Cinnamon Twig (Rou Gui) 3 fen, Angelica Sinensis (Danggui) 3 liang, Scrophularia (Yuanshen) 3 liang. Decoct in water and take orally. After one dose, the Yin condition transforms into Yang; after two doses, un-ulcerated lesions completely resolve, and ulcerated ones regenerate flesh; after three doses, recovery is achieved; after four doses, the treatment concludes. The efficacy is extremely miraculous. Even if the wound is severely ulcerated and rotten, constituting a deteriorated condition, taking my prescription will surely save life. Persist in long-term use, and success is guaranteed. This formula clears toxins without dispersing Qi, emphasizes tonification rather than attack, and treats carbuncles and sores caused by Yin toxicity with divine and unfathomable subtlety.
After severe uterine bleeding (Xue Beng), if the mouth and tongue become dry and cracked, and eating is impossible, it is a fatal condition. Massive blood loss naturally leads to insufficient blood to generate essence; when essence dries up, fluids also dry up, which is an inevitable trend. To re-moisten the dry mouth and tongue, one must regenerate the exhausted essence and blood. Among formulas for tonifying essence, Liu Wei Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia) is best. However, Liu Wei Wan only tonifies kidney essence but cannot directly moisten the mouth and tongue fluids from above. Although tonifying the kidney below can facilitate fluid transmission upwards, it is ultimately too slow to address emergencies. I have now established a miraculous formula that tonifies both upper and lower, named Shang Xia Xiang Zi Tang (Upper-and-Lower Mutual-Nourishing Decoction): Prepared Rehmannia Root (Shudi) 1 liang, Cornus Officinalis Fruit (Shanzhuyu) 5 qian, Polygonatum (Weirui) 5 qian, Ginseng (Renshen) 3 qian, Scrophularia (Yuanshen) 3 qian, Glehnia Root (Shashen) 5 qian, Angelica Sinensis (Danggui) 5 qian, Ophiopogon Tuber (Maidong) 1 liang, Schisandra Berry (Bei Wuwei Zi) 2 qian, Achyranthes Root (Niuxi) 5 qian, Plantago Seed (Cheqianzi) 1 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. This formula takes kidney tonification as the sovereign, assisted by lung-tonifying herbs. The child and mother organs nourish each other, moistening both upper and lower simultaneously. As essence generates, fluids generate; as blood generates, jing (body fluids) generate. How could a seemingly dead condition fail to revive?
In dryness syndrome (Zao Zheng), if the tongue is dry and swollen, accompanied by hematuria and continuous hematochezia, it is also a fatal condition. This occurs because summer heat-toxin was contracted in summer, leading to extreme dryness in autumn. The clearing and descending function of Lung Metal fails, causing extreme heat in the large and small intestines, resulting in simultaneous bleeding from both bowels and urine. Logically, seeing blood should prompt blood-treatment; however, treating blood alone may cause bleeding to persist and worsen dryness, becoming incurable. I do not treat the blood but specifically treat dryness, using Jian Run Wan (Moisturizing-Mix Pill): Prepared Rehmannia Root (Shudi) 1 liang, Scrophularia (Yuanshen) 2 liang, Ophiopogon Tuber (Maidong) 2 liang, Glehnia Root (Shashen) 2 liang, Plantago Seed (Cheqianzi) 5 qian, Sanguisorba Root (Diyu) 3 qian, Raw Rehmannia Root (Shengdi) 5 qian, Angelica Sinensis (Danggui) 1 liang, White Peony Root (Baishao) 1 liang. Decoct in water and take orally. One dose brings relief; two doses stop bleeding, indicating a return of vitality. This formula consists purely of excellent blood-tonifying herbs, using only Diyü to clear fire and Cheqianzi to promote urination. With fire cleared and water flow promoted, blood stops spontaneously without direct hemostatic intervention.
When dryness and blazing fire exhaust the yin of the Large Intestine, stools become like sheep dung, a condition named Chang Jie (Intestinal Knotting), which is generally considered incurable. However, if yin exhaustion does not lead to immediate death but instead presents as intestinal knotting, it indicates that yin is not yet fully exhausted. As long as true yin remains for even one day, life persists; as long as one thread of vitality remains, recovery is possible. I have a miraculous formula that specifically tonifies yin, allowing yin to grow and fire to subside, yin to flourish and the intestine to relax. Use Sheng Yin Kai Jie Tang (Nourish-Yin and Unbind-Knot Decoction): Prepared Rehmannia Root (Shudi) 2 liang, Scrophularia (Yuanshen) 1 liang, Angelica Sinensis (Danggui) 1 liang, Raw Rehmannia Root (Shengdi) 5 qian, Achyranthes Root (Niuxi) 5 qian, Ophiopogon Tuber (Maidong) 5 qian, Cornus Officinalis Fruit (Shanzhuyu) 5 qian, Chinese Yam (Shanyao) 3 qian, Cistanche Stem (Roucongrong) 5 qian (washed with wine until pale). Decoct in water and take orally. Continuous administration over several doses can open the intestinal knot, and stools will no longer resemble sheep dung, offering hope for survival. Daily dosing is required. After three months, switch to Liu Wei Di Huang Tang (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Decoction) or pills for over a year to prevent recurrence of intestinal knotting permanently.
In severe dryness syndrome, if the Small Intestine becomes narrow, unable to pass stool, causing severe distension and agony, it is also deemed incurable. Yet I wish to treat it because the opening and closing of the Small Intestine are not controlled by itself but by the Kidney. Treating only the Small Intestine would further weaken it, impairing its role as the official of transmission, worsening distension. Therefore, I do not treat the Small Intestine but focus on the Kidney. When Kidney Qi opens, the Small Intestine opens. The formula is named Zhi Ben Xiao Shui Tang (Treat-Root Eliminate-Water Decoction): Prepared Rehmannia Root (Shudi) 2 liang, Cornus Officinalis Fruit (Shanzhuyu) 1 liang, Plantago Seed (Cheqianzi) 5 qian, Ophiopogon Tuber (Maidong) 1 liang, Schisandra Berry (Bei Wuwei Zi) 2 qian, Poria (Fuling) 5 qian, Achyranthes Root (Niuxi) 3 qian, Northern Motherwort Herb (Liuji Nu) 3 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. One dose brings slight passage; two doses widen the intestine, and urination flows freely. Shudi and Shanzhuyu tonify the Kidney; Maidong and Wuweizi tonify Lung Qi to allow clear and descending Qi to reach the Bladder. Fuling and Cheqianzi disperse water accumulation; Niuxi and Liuji Nu utilize their rapid qi-moving properties to guide downward flow without upward stagnation. Thus, Kidney Qi unblocks, and water flows smoothly.
If Lung Dryness is further depleted, hemoptysis (coughing up blood) will inevitably occur, eventually leading to Lung Atrophy (Fei Wei). How can this be treated? However, if treated before atrophy sets in, death can be avoided. Use Jiu Fei Dan (Save-Lung Elixir): Ophiopogon Tuber (Maidong) 3 liang, Scrophularia (Yuanshen) 3 liang, Honeysuckle Flower (Jinyinhua) 3 liang, White Mustard Seed (Bai Jie Zi) 3 qian, Platycodon Root (Jiegeng) 3 qian, Licorice Root (Sheng Gancao) 3 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. This formula specifically supports Lung Qi. Although Jinyinhua clears toxins, it remains an excellent yin-nourishing herb, thus resolving Lung Atrophy without aggravating hemoptysis. Treating only Lung Atrophy might not cure it and could exacerbate blood disorders, becoming incurable. Hence, my formula ensures recovery from Lung Atrophy.
Extreme dryness generating wind, causing twitching and pulling of hands and feet, is a fatal condition. This is because Spleen and Stomach are dried up, failing to nourish the limbs, causing tetanic movements. Wind arises from fire. Liver Wood, exacerbated by dryness, counter-controls Earth (Spleen/Stomach), making them more deficient and less able to nourish the limbs, leading to endless convulsions. Use Run Zhi Tang (Moisten-Limbs Decoction): Ginseng (Renshen) 1 liang, Scrophularia (Yuanshen) 1 liang, Angelica Sinensis (Danggui) 1 liang, White Peony Root (Baishao) 1 liang, Stir-fried Gardenia (Chao Zhizi) 3 qian, Ophiopogon Tuber (Maidong) 1 liang, Chinese Yam (Shanyao) 5 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. One dose brings slight calm; two doses gradually stabilize; three doses stop the wind. Renshen and Shanyao generate Stomach Qi to strengthen the Spleen; Danggui and Baishao soothe the Liver to generate blood; Maidong generates Lung Qi; Yuanshen and Chao Zhizi clear fire, dispel wind, and resolve dryness. Once internal heat is removed, external symptoms of twitching resolve spontaneously, turning a fatal condition into a survivable one.
Extreme dryness-heat leading to constraint syndrome (Yu Zheng), where the patient cannot rise from bed, is incurable. Constraint syndrome involves fullness and distension in the hypochondrium, inability to lie on either side, and inability to rise. This results from Blood deficiency in the Liver Meridian, dryness of Stomach Qi, and eventual exhaustion of Kidney Qi, leading to marrow depletion in bones and gradual paralysis. This condition originates from summer heat, which scorches Lung Jin fluids, preventing them from generating Kidney Water. Consequently, Kidney Water cannot nourish Liver Wood, Liver Wood cannot generate Heart Fire, and Heart Fire cannot generate Spleen Earth, resulting in constraint. By rescuing the Lung and Kidney, the Spleen and Stomach will naturally relax. Use Jin Shui Liang Zi Tang (Metal-and-Water Dual-Nourishing Decoction): Prepared Rehmannia Root (Shudi) 1 liang, Cornus Officinalis Fruit (Shanzhuyu) 5 qian, Ophiopogon Tuber (Maidong) 1 liang, Schisandra Berry (Bei Wuwei Zi) 2 qian, Ginseng (Renshen) 1 liang, White Peony Root (Baishao) 1 liang. Decoct in water and take orally. Although named Metal-and-Water Dual-Nourishing, it actually treats the Kidney, Liver, and Lung meridians simultaneously. Tonifying Lung and Kidney provides a source for Metal and Water, naturally moistening dryness. Without soothing Liver Wood, Stomach Qi cannot generate, and essence/fluids cannot be produced easily. Strong bones and comfortable lying require Liver regulation. Therefore, among Kidney and Lung tonics, Liver-soothing herbs are essential. Baishao best soothes the Liver and generates blood; used within Kidney/Lung tonification, it balances the formula effectively. Long-term use brings vitality, though immediate effects should not be expected.
Extreme dryness causing vomiting of "white blood" is incurable. Blood is never white; why vomit white? In chronic illness, patients often cough up white froth, which is actually "white blood." It is called white blood because it resembles crab saliva, containing no purulent phlegm. It is truly blood, not phlegm. Skeptics may expose the vomited froth to starlight overnight, after which it turns red. This froth originates from the Kidney, boiled by Kidney Fire in the throat, forcing expulsion. Though appearing as white froth, it is essentially Kidney Essence, not merely blood. If not treated promptly, the white froth will turn into green phlegm, becoming hopeless. Use Liu Wei Di Huang Tang (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Decoction): Prepared Rehmannia Root (Shudi) 1 liang, Cornus Officinalis Fruit (Shanzhuyu) 5 qian, Chinese Yam (Shanyao) 5 qian, Moutan Cortex (Danpi) 2 qian, Alisma Rhizome (Zexie) 2 qian, Poria (Fuling) 5 qian, Ophiopogon Tuber (Maidong) 1 liang, Schisandra Berry (Bei Wuwei Zi) 1 qian. Decoct in water and take daily. Naturally, the white froth will cease and transform back into essence. Once froth transforms to essence, life returns.
Extreme dryness causing emaciation, dry throat, dusty complexion, lack of bodily luster, and reverse heat in the soles of the feet is also incurable. This is due to blood dryness failing to nourish externally and essence depletion failing to moisten internally. I have a miraculous formula to save such cases, named An Run Tang (Peace-and-Moisten Decoction): Angelica Sinensis (Danggui) 5 qian, White Peony Root (Baishao) 5 qian, Prepared Rehmannia Root (Shudi) 1 liang, Szechwan Lovage Rhizome (Chuanxiong) 2 qian, Ophiopogon Tuber (Maidong) 5 qian, Achyranthes Root (Niuxi) 3 qian, Ginseng (Renshen) 3 qian, Mulberry Leaf (Sangye) 30 leaves. Decoct in water and take orally. This is Si Wu Tang (Four-Substance Decoction) with additions. The brilliance lies in adding Renshen and Sangye, greatly enhancing the blood-tonifying power of Si Wu Tang, moistening all Qi and Blood in the body, thereby eliminating dryness.
Dryness syndrome manifesting as fright, inability to bend or extend the waist, hernia in men, lower abdominal pain in women, blindness, and protruding eyes is incurable. However, I believe it is treatable because all these symptoms stem from Kidney disease. Kidney deficiency can be tonified; tonifying the Kidney fills the Heart with Blood, stopping fright; tonifying the Kidney fills the Waist with Essence, restoring bending/extending ability; tonifying the Kidney fills Ren and Du meridians with Water, curing hernia in men and pain in women. What worry then about minor symptoms like blindness or eye protrusion? I hereby transmit a formula named Zi Ben Run Zao Tang (Root-Nourishing Moisture-Dryness Decoction): Prepared Rehmannia Root (Shudi) 2 liang, Mulberry Leaf (Sangye) 30 leaves, Cornus Officinalis Fruit (Shanzhuyu) 5 qian, Glehnia Root (Shashen) 1 liang, Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome (Baizhu) 1 liang, Chrysanthemum Flower (Ganjuhua) 3 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. This formula purely tonifies the Kidney with slight assistance to strengthen the Spleen. Why? Severe dryness causes thirst, leading to excessive water intake. Excess water causes dampness in the waist that cannot dissipate. Baizhu benefits the waist and umbilicus; combined with Shudi’s Kidney-tonifying action, Baizhu loses its drying nature and assists in success. This is the ingenuity of the prescription. Administer this formula to such patients, and survival is assured.
Dryness syndrome causing cough has already damaged the Lung. Adding hemoptysis and expectoration of pus makes death certain; insisting on survival seems pedantic. However, dryness-induced cough is originally an external contraction, unlike internal injury. Even with pus and blood, it stems from cough damage. Rescuing the cough nourishes Lung Metal; stopping the cough eliminates pus and blood. Use Yang Fei Jiu Zao Dan (Nourish-Lung Save-Dryness Elixir): Ophiopogon Tuber (Maidong) 3 liang, Honeysuckle Flower (Jinyinhua) 3 liang, Scrophularia (Yuanshen) 3 liang, Licorice Root (Gancao) 3 qian, Asparagus Tuber (Tianmendong) 3 qian, Platycodon Root (Jiegeng) 3 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. This formula enters the Lung Meridian solely to moisten fluids, clears floating fire, and stops pus/blood. With internal Qi moistened and external pathogens removed, how can fatal conditions not be controlled?
Postpartum blood dryness causing fainting and unconsciousness is a critical respiratory emergency. Massive blood loss means old blood is gone, new blood cannot generate instantly, and Yin and Yang fail to connect. Use Jiu Yun Zhi Sheng Dan (Save-Fainting Supreme Elixir): Ginseng (Renshen) 1 liang, Angelica Sinensis (Danggui) 2 liang, Szechwan Lovage Rhizome (Chuanxiong) 1 liang, Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome (Baizhu) 1 liang, Prepared Rehmannia Root (Shudi) 1 liang, Charred Dried Ginger (Chao Hei Jiang) 1 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. Renshen rescues collapse; Danggui and Chuanxiong expel stasis and generate new blood; Shudi and Baizhu benefit the waist/umbilicus and tonify Spleen/Kidney; Charred Ginger guides blood back to vessels to stop fainting. One dose yields results. Turning death into life, this is truly a soul-returning miracle.
Postpartum dry constipation, where defecation is difficult yet necessary, accompanied by restlessness and fever, is often incurable. This results from massive blood loss leaving no Kidney Water to moisten the intestines, causing hard, dry stools. Using Da Huang (Rhubarb) for purgation rarely fails to kill. One must use Di Huang Tang (Rehmannia Decoction) for major tonification; some survive. Regardless of initial efficacy, administer one dose daily for 4-5 days or over ten days; bowel movement will naturally occur and recovery follows. Do not switch to cooling/fire-clearing agents if initial doses fail. My revised Di Huang Tang: Prepared Rehmannia Root (Shudi) 2 liang, Cornus Officinalis Fruit (Shanzhuyu) 1 liang, Chinese Yam (Shanyao) 5 qian, Moutan Cortex (Danpi) 5 qian, Alisma Rhizome (Zexie) 3 qian, Poria (Fuling) 3 qian, Ophiopogon Tuber (Maidong) 1 liang, Schisandra Berry (Bei Wuwei Zi) 1 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. Following my dosage, this treats dry constipation excellently, not just postpartum cases.
Postpartum hemorrhage and epistaxis are generally incurable due to blood deficiency and further depletion. However, taking Liu Wei Di Huang Wan (Six-Ingredient Rehmannia Pill) can prevent death. I have a superior formula named Zhi Shi Tang (Stop-Loss Decoction): Ginseng (Renshen) 1 liang, Angelica Sinensis (Danggui) 5 qian, Ophiopogon Tuber (Maidong) 3 qian, Cornus Officinalis Fruit (Shanzhuyu) 5 qian, Notoginseng Root Powder (Sanqi Gen Mo) 3 qian. Decoct in water and mix with powder for oral administration. One dose stops bleeding; two doses restore vitality. This formula tonifies Qi and Blood to protect the postpartum state, nourishes Lung vessels to rescue dryness, and stops bleeding to prevent collapse. It is universally suitable and uniquely effective, surpassing Liu Wei Tang. Postpartum blood dryness progressing to consumption (Zhai Syndrome/Tuberculosis-like weakness) is postpartum debility, caused by poor care during childbirth. Treatment must begin before onset. If weakness prevents rising from bed after one month, urgently use Jiu Lao Dan (Save-Consumption Elixir): Prepared Rehmannia Root (Shudi) 1 liang, Angelica Sinensis (Danggui) 1 liang, Astragalus Root (Huangqi) 1 liang, Ginseng (Renshen) 1 liang, Turtle Shell (Biejia) 5 qian, Cornus Officinalis Fruit (Shanzhuyu) 5 qian, Ophiopogon Tuber (Maidong) 1 liang, White Peony Root (Baishao) 5 qian, White Mustard Seed (Bai Jie Zi) 1 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. This formula tonifies Qi and Blood without being hot or cold, ideal for early-stage consumption and especially effective postpartum. Administer early for guaranteed survival. Do not delay until incurable.
Postpartum unstoppable metrorrhagia with dry, cracked mouth and tongue is incurable. However, major tonification often saves lives. I have a miraculous formula named Ding Beng Jiu Chan Tang (Stabilize-Bleeding Save-Childbirth Decoction): Ginseng (Renshen) 1 liang, Angelica Sinensis (Danggui) 1 liang, Astragalus Root (Huangqi) 1 liang, Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome (Baizhu) 1 liang, Notoginseng Root Powder (Sanqi Gen Mo) 3 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. This formula tonifies Qi and Blood. It does not merely stop bleeding but allows blood to stop naturally through tonification, which is its brilliance. Sanqi stops bleeding but also tonifies; working synergistically, it achieves unique success. Metrorrhagia stops, and mouth/tongue dryness resolves. If one only seeks to stop bleeding without tonifying deficiency, bleeding will continue, leading to death.
