Jie Gu said: Pediatric malnutrition causes emaciation and insufficiency of Blood and Qi; treat it similarly to adult Lao Zhai (Consumption Disease).
Commentary: Based on Jie Gu's discussion, regardless of cold, heat, deficiency, or emaciation, combining Si Jun Zi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction), Di Huang Wan (Rehmannia Pill), and the aforementioned medicines is appropriate. However, if there is stagnation and blood stasis in the chest and diaphragm, preventing tolerance of tonification by Ren Shen, Bai Zhu, and Di Huang, first use medicines to clear malnutrition and remove accumulation, then apply tonifying agents. Therefore, various formulas are recorded for selection, truly because disease manifestations are diverse, and holding to one corner cannot handle hundred changes. Those who study formulas for three years claiming to cure all diseases will rarely not find them complicated.
