这就是建中汤加入当归，用于治疗产后身体虚弱消瘦，半个月后每天服用三次，能使人恢复强壮。
这就是大建中汤去掉附子，加入前胡、细辛、橘皮、麦冬，用于治疗气血劳损、脏腑虚损、肠鸣、精神疲倦等症状的复方。
这就是桂枝汤（Cinnamon Twig Decoction）合用麻黄汤（Ephedra Decoction），用于治疗太阳病（Taiyang disease，指外感风寒初期阶段）持续八九日，出现脉象微弱且恶寒的症状。这是因为阴阳两虚不足，不可再次发汗。如果病情尚未解除，因为不能通过微微出汗而解表，身体必然发痒，此方主治。
这就是桂枝汤（二分比例）与麻黄汤（一分比例）合用，用于治疗服用桂枝汤后，症状像疟疾一样，一天发作两次的情况，适宜使用此方。
这就是桂枝汤（二分比例）与越婢汤（Yuebi Decoction，一种发汗清热方剂）合用，用于治疗太阳病发热恶寒，热多寒少，脉象微弱的情况。这是无阳（Yang deficiency，此处指阳气虚衰或津液不足导致无法作汗）不能发汗的情况。按林亿（Lin Yi，宋代校正医书局官员）所说：桂枝汤方由桂枝、芍药、生姜各三两，甘草二两，大枣十二枚组成；越婢汤方由麻黄二两，生姜三两，甘草……（原文此处有缺漏，通常含石膏等）。
用于治疗太阳病头痛、发热、身疼、腰痛、骨节疼痛、恶风、无汗而气喘者。
麻黄（Ephedrae Herba，三两，去节，性甘温）、桂枝（Cinnamomi Ramulus，二两，去皮，性辛热）、甘草（Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma，一两，炙，性甘平）、杏仁（Armeniacae Semen Amarum，七十个，去皮尖，性辛温）。
以上四味药，用水九升，先煮麻黄，减少二升水，撇去上面的浮沫，加入其他药物，煮取二升半，去渣，温服八合，服药后覆盖衣被使身体微微似有汗出，不需要喝热粥助汗。
元戎（张元素，金代医家）说：夏季加知母、黄芩、石膏，恐怕有发黄的变化；只有冬季和春季，病患原本体质虚寒的，不适宜加这些药。成无己（Cheng Wuji，金代医家）说：本草经记载……轻……实也……于内（原文此处有缺漏或错简）。
这就是麻黄汤去掉桂枝，加入石膏，用于治疗汗出而气喘、没有大热的情况。《内经》说：肝苦急，急食甘以缓之（Liver suffers from urgency, eat sweet to relieve it）。外邪甚盛，所以用纯甘的药剂来发散它。
这就是麻黄汤去掉杏仁、桂枝，用于治疗风水（Wind-water edema，风水水肿）。
这就是甘草麻黄汤加入附子（Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata，一枚），用于治疗少阴病（Shaoyin disease，心肾阳虚证）二三日，没有里证（internal syndrome）的情况。用麻黄、甘草的甘味来发散，用附子的辛味来温通经络气机。《金匮要略》称之为麻黄附子汤，用于治疗水气病。
This is Jianzhong Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Licorice Decoction) added with Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), used to treat postpartum emaciation and weakness. After half a month, taking it three times daily can restore strength.
This is Jianzhong Tang added with Renshen (Ginseng Radix), Danggui, Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root), and Banxia (Pinelliae Tuber).
This is Dajianzhong Tang (Great Cinnamon Twig and Licorice Decoction) with Fuzi removed, and Qianhu (Peucedani Radix), Xixin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma), JuPi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), and Maidong (Ophiopogonis Tuber) added. It is a compound formula used to treat syndromes such as Qi and Blood exhaustion, visceral deficiency and damage, borborygmus, and mental fatigue.
This is GuiZhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) combined with MaHuang Tang (Ephedra Decoction), used to treat Taiyang disease (disease of the Taiyang channel) persisting for eight or nine days, characterized by a faint pulse and aversion to cold. This indicates insufficiency of both Yin and Yang; sweating should not be induced again. If the condition has not resolved because slight perspiration cannot be achieved, the body will likely itch; this decoction is indicated.
This is GuiZhi Tang in a two-part ratio combined with MaHuang Tang in a one-part ratio, used to treat cases where, after taking GuiZhi Tang, symptoms resemble malaria, occurring twice a day. This formula is appropriate.
This is GuiZhi Tang in a two-part ratio combined with Yuebi Tang (Yuebi Decoction) in a one-part ratio, used to treat Taiyang disease with fever and aversion to cold, where heat predominates over cold, and the pulse is faint. This indicates an inability to sweat due to lack of Yang (Yang deficiency or fluid insufficiency preventing diaphoresis). According to Lin Yi: The formula for GuiZhi Tang consists of Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig), Shaoyao (Peony Root), and Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger) each at 3 liang; Gancao (Licorice Root) at 2 liang; and Dazao (Jujube Fruit) at 12 pieces. The formula for Yuebi Tang consists of Mahuang (Ephedra Stem) at 2 liang, Shengjiang at 3 liang, Gancao... [text missing].
Used to treat Taiyang disease presenting with headache, fever, body ache, lower back pain, bone and joint pain, aversion to wind, absence of sweat, and wheezing.
Mahuang (Ephedrae Herba, 3 liang, nodes removed, nature: sweet and warm); Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus, 2 liang, bark removed, nature: acrid and hot); Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 1 liang, honey-fried, nature: sweet and neutral); Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum, 70 seeds, skin and tips removed, nature: acrid and warm).
The above four ingredients are boiled in 9 sheng of water. First, boil Mahuang until the volume reduces by 2 sheng, skimming off the foam on top. Then add the remaining herbs and boil to obtain 2.5 sheng. Strain and take 8 he of the warm decoction. Cover the patient to induce a slight sweat; drinking hot porridge is not necessary.
Yuanrong (Zhang Yuansu) stated: In summer, add Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix), and Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum), fearing the onset of jaundice. Only in winter and spring, if the patient has a constitution prone to deficiency-cold, is it inappropriate to add these herbs. Cheng Wuji stated: The Materia Medica records... light... solid... inside [text fragmented/missing].
This is MaHuang Tang with Guizhi removed and Shigao added, used to treat sweating with wheezing and no significant high fever. The *Neijing* states: "When the Liver suffers from urgency, consume sweet substances to relax it." Since the exterior pathogenic factor is severe, pure sweet agents are used to disperse it.
This is MaHuang Tang with Xingren and Guizhi removed, used to treat Fengshui (Wind-Water Edema).
This is Gancao Mahuang Tang added with Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, 1 piece), used to treat Shaoyin disease (disease of the Shaoyin channel) for two or three days without interior syndromes. The sweetness of Mahuang and Gancao is used to disperse, and the acridity of Fuzi is used to warm the meridians and Qi. The *Jin Gui Yao Lue* names this Mahuang Fuzi Tang, used to treat Water-Qi disease.
