甘草二两。
取以上一味药,用水三升,煎煮至剩余一升半,滤去药渣,每次温服七合,每日服用三次。
仅用一味药治病,称为奇方。甘草是大地精华所生,生用时性凉,因此可以清泻肾脏的热邪。治疗咽喉疼痛的功效,在于舒缓肾脏的急迫状态。
桔梗一两,甘草二两。
取以上两味药,用水三升,煎煮至剩余一升,滤去药渣,分两次温服。
桔梗味苦、辛,苦味主降,辛味主散,功效专门开提足少阴经的热邪,辅以甘草,引导药力上行,从而能像船载物一样将药力送达病所。
半夏(洗净) 桂枝(去皮) 甘草(炙)各等分。
取以上三味药,分别捣碎筛细后,混合均匀,用白米汤调和,每次服用一方寸匕的量,每日服用三次。如果不能吞咽散剂,就将其咽下。
半夏散,对于咽喉痛能够吞咽的患者,使用散剂;不能吞咽的患者,使用汤剂。这是针对少阴经的病邪,逆乱于经脉之中,无法通过枢机排出的情况,使用半夏来治疗。
半夏(洗净,破开如枣核大小)十四枚,鸡蛋一枚(去掉蛋黄,将半夏放入蛋壳中,加入苦酒)。
取以上两味药,将半夏放入苦酒中,把装有半夏和苦酒的蛋壳放在刀环上,置于火上加热,煮沸三次,滤去药渣,少量多次频服。
苦酒汤,用于治疗少阴肾水亏虚,不能上济心火,导致咽喉生疮、声音嘶哑不出者。这里的“疮”指疳疮。利用半夏的辛滑之性,辅以苦酒,起到劫除痰涎、收敛疮口的作用,即使是阴火沸腾,也能因苦酒的酸收而降伏,因此以“苦酒”命名此汤。
柴胡八两,黄芩三两,人参三两,大枣十二枚(掰开),甘草三两,半夏八两(洗净),生姜三两(切片)。
取以上七味药,用水一斗二升,煎煮至剩余六升,滤去药渣,再次煎煮,浓缩至三升,每次温服一升,每日服用三次。
小柴胡汤,不是从表证或里证的角度立方的。张仲景说:少阳病如果误用发汗法,会导致谵语;误用吐法或下法,会导致心悸和惊悸。因此不直接治疗表里,而是通过调理气机,使病邪自然解除。
Radix Glycyrrhizae (Gancao) two liang.
Take the above single herb, add three sheng of water, decoct to obtain one and a half sheng, remove the dregs, take seven ge warm, three times a day.
Using a single herb to treat disease is called a "Qi Fang" (Unorthodox Formula). Radix Glycyrrhizae (Gancao) is the essence of the nine soils; when used raw, it is cool in nature, thus it can purge heat from the Kidney. Its efficacy in treating sore throat lies in its ability to relieve Kidney urgency.
Radix Platycodi (Jiegeng) one liang, Radix Glycyrrhizae (Gancao) two liang.
Take the above two herbs, add three sheng of water, decoct to obtain one sheng, remove the dregs, divide into two doses and take warm.
Radix Platycodi (Jiegeng) has bitter and acrid flavors. Bitterness primarily directs downward, while acridity primarily disperses. Its function is specifically to open and lift the pathogenic heat of the Foot Shaoyin Meridian. Assisted by Radix Glycyrrhizae (Gancao), which carries the medicinal power upward, it can transport the remedy to the affected area like a boat carrying cargo.
Rhizoma Pinelliae (Banxia) (washed), Ramulus Cinnamomi (Guizhi) (bark removed), Radix Glycyrrhizae (Gancao) (roasted) in equal parts.
Take the above three herbs, crush and sieve each separately, then mix them together. Mix with white rice drink and take one cun bi (a square-inch measure) per dose, three times a day. If unable to swallow the powder, simply swallow it.
Banxia San (Pinellia Powder): For sore throat where swallowing is possible, use the powder; where swallowing is difficult, use the decoction. This treats the pathogen of Shaoyin that has rebelled within the meridians and cannot exit via the pivot mechanism, using Rhizoma Pinelliae (Banxia) for treatment.
Rhizoma Pinelliae (Banxia) (washed, broken like a jujube pit) fourteen pieces, Egg (remove yolk, place Banxia inside the shell, add Kujiu/Vinegar).
Take the above two items, place Banxia into the vinegar within the eggshell. Place the eggshell in a knife ring, set over fire, boil three times, remove dregs, take small amounts frequently.
Kujiu Tang (Vinegar Decoction): Treats Shaoyin deficiency of Water failing to nourish the Minister Fire, resulting in sores in the throat and loss of voice. The term "sores" refers to ulcerations. The acrid and slippery nature of Rhizoma Pinelliae (Banxia), assisted by vinegar, acts to劫 phlegm and astringe sores. Even if Yin Fire boils vigorously, it can be subdued by the astringent nature of vinegar, hence the name of the decoction.
Radix Bupleuri (Chaihu) eight liang, Radix Scutellariae (Huangqin) three liang, Radix Ginseng (Renshen) three liang, Fructus Ziziphi Jujubae (Dazao) twelve pieces (torn), Radix Glycyrrhizae (Gancao) three liang, Rhizoma Pinelliae (Banxia) eight liang (washed), Rhizoma Zingiberis Recens (Shengjiang) three liang (sliced).
Take the above seven herbs, add twelve dou of water, decoct to obtain six sheng, remove dregs, decoct again to obtain three sheng, take one sheng warm, three times a day.
Chaihu Tang (Bupleurum Decoction) is not formulated based on exterior or interior syndromes alone. Zhang Zhongjing stated: In Shaoyang disease, inducing sweating leads to delirious speech; inducing vomiting or purgation leads to palpitations and fright. Therefore, it does not directly treat the exterior or interior, but rather regulates Qi, allowing the pathogen to resolve spontaneously.
