人有目痛如刺触，两角多眵，羞明畏日，两胞浮肿，泪湿不已，此肝木风火作
祟，而脾胃之气，不能升腾故耳。人生后天，以脾胃为主，脾胃一受肝木之制，则
土气遏抑，津液干涸，于是木无所养而干枯，风又袭之，则木更加燥。眼目肝之窍
也，肝中无非风火之气，而目欲清凉得乎。惟是肝经既燥，而目偏生泪，何哉？盖
肾气救之耳。肝为肾之子，肝子为风火之邪所困，燃眉之祸，必求救于肾母，而肾
痛其子，必以水济之，然而风火未除，所济之水与风火相战，肾欲养木而不能，肝
欲得水而不敢，于是目不得水之益，而反得水之损矣。然而水终为木之所喜，而火
终为木之所畏，日为阳火，灯为阴火，故两忌之。治法自当以祛风灭火为先，然而
徒治风火而不用和解之法，则风不易散，而火不易息也。方用息氛汤∶
柴胡（二钱） 当归（三钱） 白芍（三钱） 天花粉（二钱） 白蒺藜（三钱）
蔓荆子（一钱） 甘菊花（三钱） 草决明（一钱） 炒栀子（三钱） 白茯苓（三钱）
水煎服。二剂而火退，再服二剂而羞明畏日之症除，再服二剂，诸症尽愈也。
此方泻肝木之风火，而又善调脾胃之气，更佐之治目退翳之品，真和解得宜也。
此症柴荆饮亦妙。
柴胡 薄荷 荆芥 甘菊（各一钱） 甘草（三分） 茯苓（三钱） 白芍（四钱）
白蒺藜 草决明 炒栀子（各二钱） 密蒙花 半夏（各五分） 水煎服。四剂愈。
人有目痛既久，终年累岁而红赤不除，致生 肉扳睛，拳毛倒睫者，乃误治之
故也。大凡目疾初痛，则为邪盛，目疾久痛，则为正虚。正虚而误以邪盛之法治之，
则变为此症矣。世人不悟，动以外治，不知内病未痊，而用外治之劫药，鲜不受其
害者。我今特传一方，凡有 肉攀睛拳毛倒睫者，服之无不渐愈，但不能取效神速
也。盖眼既经误治而成斯病，其由来者非一日，用药何能责其近功乎。方名磨翳丹∶
葳蕤（一斤） 甘菊花（一斤） 当归（一斤） 白芍（一斤） 陈皮（二两）
柴胡（三两） 同州蒺藜（一斤） 白芥子（四两） 茯神（半斤） 各为末，
蜜为丸。每日早晚白滚水送下各五钱，服一料全愈。
此方用攻于补之中，不治风而风息，不治火而火亡，不治 肉而 肉自消，不
去拳毛而拳毛自去，万勿视为平平无奇，而不知奇寓于平之中也。
此症用加减逍遥散亦佳。
白芍 当归（各一两） 甘草 白蒺藜 蕤仁（各一钱） 陈皮（五分） 茯苓（三钱）
甘菊（三钱） 柴胡 半夏（各三分） 水煎服。
三月愈。
人有目痛后迎风流泪，至夜则目暗不明，一见灯光两目干涩，此乃少年时所丧
元阳，又加时眼，不守色戒，以致伤损大 ，故 孔不闭，风寒透入其孔，内气即
虚，外邪难杜，故尔出泪也。夫泪生于心，大 正心之窍也。伤心则泪出，伤大
而亦泪出者，正见内外之关切，伤大皆即伤心也。然则欲止大 之泪，安可不急补
其心乎。而徒补心，亦正无益，必须兼肾与肝而治之，使肾水生肝木，而肝木更能
补心也。方用固根汤∶
葳蕤（一两） 当归（五钱） 白芍（五钱） 熟地（一两） 麦冬（五钱）
甘菊（三钱） 菖蒲（三分） 柴胡（五分）
水煎服。连服四剂，即不畏风；再服四剂，见风不流浪矣；再服十剂全愈。
盖葳蕤最善止泪，加之当归、白芍以补肝，熟地以滋肾，益之麦冬以补心，佐
之甘菊、菖蒲、柴胡以舒其风火，而引诸经之药以塞其泪窍，此固其根本而末症自
愈也。
此症用养目汤亦效。
当归 熟地 葳蕤 白芍（各五钱） 山萸 茯苓 麦冬 白术 丹皮 枸杞（各三钱）
巴戟天（二钱） 柴胡（三分） 水煎服。
十剂全愈。
人有患时眼之后，其目不痛，而色淡红，然羞明恶日，与目痛时无异，此乃内
伤之目，人误作实火治之，又加不慎色欲，故尔如此。若再作风火治之，必有失明
之悲，必须大补肝肾，使水旺以生肝，木旺以祛风，则目得液以相养，而虚火尽散也。
方用养目汤∶
熟地（一两） 白芍（五钱） 麦冬（五钱） 当归（一两） 葳蕤（五钱）
山茱萸（四钱） 北五味（一钱） 甘草（一钱） 甘菊花（二钱） 柴胡（五分）
水煎服。二剂而目明，又二剂而羞明之症痊，更四剂而红色尽除而愈矣。
此方大补肾肝，全不去治目正所以治目也。世医每拘执成方，罔顾目之虚实，
一味以治火为主者，不知坏天下之眼几百万矣。幸治目者，察其虚实，如知其虚，
即以此方投之，效应如响，正不必分前后也。然初起即是内伤之目痛，又从何处辨
之？日间痛重者阳火也，乃是实症；夜间痛重者阴火也，乃是虚症。虚症即用此方
急治之，随手建功，何至变生不测哉。
此症用还光饮亦妙。
熟地（一两） 山茱萸（四钱） 枸杞 甘菊 同州蒺藜 玄参 麦冬（各三钱）
葳蕤（五钱） 肉桂（三分） 水煎服。十剂全愈。
人有阴火上冲，两目红肿，泪出而不热，羞明而不甚，日出而痛轻，日入而痛
重。此非虚症之痛乎？然不在肝而在肾也。肾中无火，下焦寒甚，乃逼其火而上行，
浮游于目而目痛也。治法不可泻火，而宜补火，并不可仅补火，而兼宜补水。肾中
真寒而火不存，实肾中少水而火无养也。水火原不可两离，补水即宜补火则水不寒，
补火即宜补水则火不燥。治阴虚火动之症者，无不当兼治，何独于治目者殊之。方
用八味地黄汤加减∶
熟地（一两） 山茱萸（五钱） 山药（五钱） 茯苓 泽泻 丹皮（各三钱）
柴胡（五分） 白芍（五钱） 甘菊花（三钱） 肉桂（一钱） 水煎服。
一剂而阴火归源，目疾顿愈。抑何其治法之神乎？盖阴阳之道，归根最速，吾
用六味大滋其肾中之水，加肉桂以温其命门之火，火喜水养，即随水而同归于本宫，
龙雷安静，而云汉之间火光自散，有不返为青天白日之世界乎。况佐之柴、芍、
甘菊，风以吹之，通大泽之气，而雷火更且安然也。
此症用抑火散亦效。
熟地 麦冬（各一两） 北五味 肉桂（各一钱） 巴戟天 葳蕤（各五钱）
水煎服。一剂效，二剂全愈。
人有能近视而不能远视者，近视则蝇脚细字辨晰秋毫，远视则咫尺之外不辨真
假，人以为肝血之不足，谁知是肾火之本微乎。肾火者，先天之火也，是火存于肾
水之中，近视之人，既非水之不足，何致火之无余？不知先天之火，天与之也，生
来火微，光焰自短。盖眼目之中，不特神水涵之，抑亦神火藏之，故凡光能照远者
火也，近视之人，正神火之微耳。神火藏于目中，而发于肾内，治近视之病，必补
肾火为主。然而火非水不养，虽近视之人，原有肾水，然能保其后天之不斫削乎。
水中补火，不易之道也。方用养火助明汤∶
熟地（五钱） 山茱萸（三钱） 葳蕤（五钱） 巴戟天（一两） 肉桂（一钱）
麦冬（三钱） 北五味子（三分） 枸杞（三钱） 水煎服。一月之后，自然渐能
远视矣。仍将前药修合丸散，日日吞服，一年之后，远近俱能视也。但服药之时，必
须坚忍色欲为妙，否则仅得半之道耳。
此方补命门之火，所以助其阳也。虽助阳无非益阴，本无他害，诚恐不善受益
者，借阳以作乐，故戒之如此。
此症用鉴远汤亦佳。
附子 北五味（各一钱） 熟地 葳蕤（各一两） 山茱萸（五钱） 水煎服。
人有目痛，二瞳子大于黄精，视物无准，以小为大，人以为内热之故也，谁知
是气血之虚，而骤用热物火酒以成之者乎。夫五脏六腑之精，皆上注于目，而瞳子
尤精之所注也。故精足则瞳子明，精亏则瞳子暗。视物而昧大小者，盖筋骨气血之
精而为脉并为系，上属于脑。脑热则瞳子散大，而脑之所以热者，由于多食辛热
之物也。火酒者，酒中至热之浆，且其气又主散，脑中之精最恶散而最易散，热而
加散，脑气又乌能安然无恙乎？自必随热而随散矣。脑气既热，则难于清凉，更难
于静，固欲瞳子之不散大而不可得，又乌能视物有准哉。治法以解热益气为主，而
解热必须滋阴，滋阴自易降火，然后于滋降之中佐之酸收之味，始克敛瞳神之散大
也。方用敛瞳丹∶
熟地（一两） 山茱萸（五钱） 白芍（一两） 当归（五钱） 黄连（三钱）
五味子（一钱） 人参（三钱） 甘草（一钱） 地骨皮（五钱） 柴胡（五分）
柞木枝（三钱） 陈皮（五分） 黄柏（五分） 水煎服。连服四剂，瞳子渐小，
再服四剂，而视物有准矣，服一月全愈。
此方凉血于补血之中，泻邪于助正之内，祛酒热于无形，收散精于不觉，实有
不知其然而然之妙，较东垣治法为更神也。
此症用束睛丹亦效。
熟地 白芍 麦冬（各一两） 人参（五钱） 炒栀子 川芎（各三钱） 北五味（一钱）
水煎服。十剂全愈。
人有病目数日，而即生翳，由下而上，其翳色作澹绿状，瞳子痛不可当，人以
为肝木之风，谁知是肾火乘肺，肺火与肾水相合而不解乎。夫肾主黑色，肺主白色，
白与黑相合，必变绿色也。惟是肾为肺子，肺为肾母，二火何以相犯，乃子母之变
耳。第子母相犯者，无关轻重，其翳由下而上，是子犯其母，亦缘母之过柔也。天
下安有母旺，而子敢犯者乎。是治之之法补母，而子之逆可安矣。虽然子之天性凶
逆，亦从旁之人必有导之，始敢安于逆而罔顾。肾火之犯肺者，亦经络之多不调也。
补肺金以抑肾，乌可不调其经络，以孤肾火之党乎。方用健母丹∶
麦冬 天冬（各一两） 生甘草 黄芩（各一钱） 茯苓 青蒿 白芍 桔梗
丹参（各三钱） 陈皮（三分） 天花粉（二钱） 水煎服。一剂而绿色退，四
剂而目翳散，十剂全愈。
此方用二冬以补肺，用甘草、桔梗以散肺之邪，用黄芩以退肺之火，则肺气既
旺，而肾火自然难侵。况益之茯苓以泻膀胱之火，用青蒿以泻胃脾之热，白芍以平
肝胆之气，丹参以清心内之炎，是脏腑无非清凉，而肾脏邪火安能作祟。譬如一家
之中，叔伯兄弟尽是正人君子，群来解劝，而忤逆之儿即不愧悔自艾，断不能增
添其横，而为犯上之乱矣。
此症用益肺汤亦效。
麦冬（二两） 天门冬（五钱） 生地 玄参（各一两） 水煎服。十剂愈。
人有两目无恙，而视物皆倒植，人以为肝气之逆，谁知是肝叶之倒置乎。夫目
之系通于肝，而肝之神注于目，肝斜则视斜，肝正则视正，肝直则视直，肝曲则视
曲，肝岐则视岐，此理之常也。今视物倒植者，乃肝叶倒而不顺耳。此必因吐而得
者。盖吐则五脏反复，而肝叶开张，壅塞于上焦，不能一时HT 转，故肝叶倒而视物
亦倒也。治法宜再使之吐，然而一吐已伤五脏，再吐不重伤五脏之气血乎，但不吐
而肝叶不易遽转，吾于吐中而仍用和法。方用安脏汤∶
参芦鞭（二两） 瓜蒂（七个） 甘草（一两） 荆芥（三钱） 水煎三大碗，顿服之，
即用鹅翎扫喉中，必大吐。吐后而肝叶必顺矣。
瓜蒂散原是吐药，余加参芦鞭、甘草、荆芥者，于补中以行其吐，即于吐中以
安其经络，何至五脏反复，以重伤其气血哉。此乃吐之变法也，凡虚人而宜用吐法
者，皆可照此法治之。
此症用参芦汤吐之亦妙。
人参芦（四两） 煎汤数碗，尽服之，以鹅翎扫喉引吐，吐后即愈。
人有惊悸之后，目张不能瞑，百计使之合眼不可得，人以为心气之弱，谁知是
肝胆之气结乎。虽五脏六腑，皆禀受脾土，上贯于目，而目之系实内连肝胆也。肝
胆血足而气舒，肝胆血亏而气结，然此犹平居无事之谓也。肝胆逢惊则血缩，肝胆
逢悸则血止，血止血缩，而气乃因之而结矣。气结则肝胆之系不能上通于目，而目
之睫不能下矣。治法必须解其气结，然而不易解也，仍当补其肝胆之血，血旺则气
伸，而结乃解也。方用解结舒气汤∶
白芍（一两） 当归（一两） 炒枣仁（一两） 郁李仁（三钱） 水煎服。一剂而目能瞑矣。
白芍平肝胆之旺，于泻中能补，当归滋肝胆之枯，于补中能散，炒枣仁安心之
药，心安则不必取资于肝胆，子安而母更安也。郁李仁善能去肝胆之结，入之于三
味之中，尤易入肝而舒滞去郁也，所以一剂奏功耳。
此症用舒结汤亦神。
柴胡 荆芥（各二钱） 白芍（一两） 甘草 半夏 独活（各一钱） 炒枣仁（四钱） 麦冬（五钱）
水煎服。一剂目瞑而卧。
人有无故忽视物为两人，以为肝气之有余，谁知是脑气之不足乎。盖目之系下
通于肝，而上实属于脑，脑气不足，则肝之气应之，肝气大虚不能应脑，于是各分
其气以应物，因之见一为两矣。孙真人曰∶邪中于头，因逢身之虚其入深，则随目
系入于脑，入于脑则转，转则目系急，急则目眩以转；邪中于睛，所中者不相比则
一个人眼睛疼痛如同针刺，眼角分泌物多，怕光畏日，眼睑浮肿，泪水不断流出，这是肝木风火作祟，而脾胃之气不能升腾的缘故。人出生后的后天之本，以脾胃为主，脾胃一旦受到肝木的克制，土气就会受遏抑，津液干涸，于是肝木失去滋养而干枯，风邪又侵袭它，肝木就更加干燥。眼睛是肝的窍穴，肝中充满风火之气，眼睛怎么能得到清凉呢？只是肝经既然干燥，为什么眼睛反而流泪呢？这是因为肾气在救助它。肝是肾的儿子，肝这个儿子被风火邪气困扰，面临燃眉之急，必然向肾母求救，肾心疼爱儿子，必然用水来济助它，然而风火未除，所济助的水与风火相战，肾想养肝却不能，肝想要水却不敢接受，于是眼睛得不到水的益处，反而遭受水的损害。然而水终究是木所喜欢的，而火终究是木所畏惧的，太阳是阳火，灯光是阴火，所以这两者都忌讳。治疗方法自然应当以祛风灭火为先，然而如果只治风火而不使用和解的方法，风就不容易消散，火也不容易熄灭。方用息氛汤：柴胡（二钱） 当归（三钱） 白芍（三钱） 天花粉（二钱） 白蒺藜（三钱） 蔓荆子（一钱） 甘菊花（三钱） 草决明（一钱） 炒栀子（三钱） 白茯苓（三钱），水煎服。服用两剂后火势减退，再服两剂后怕光畏日的症状消除，再服两剂，所有症状全部痊愈。此方泻肝木的风火，又善于调理脾胃之气，更辅助治疗眼睛退翳的药物，真是和解得当。此症用柴荆饮也很妙。柴胡 薄荷 荆芥 甘菊（各一钱） 甘草（三分） 茯苓（三钱） 白芍（四钱） 白蒺藜 草决明 炒栀子（各二钱） 密蒙花 半夏（各五分），水煎服。四剂痊愈。
有人眼睛疼痛日久，终年累月红赤不退，导致生胬肉攀睛、拳毛倒睫，这是误治的缘故。大凡眼疾初起疼痛，是因为邪气盛；眼疾久痛，是因为正气虚。正气虚弱却用治疗邪气盛的方法去治，就变成这种病症了。世人不明白，动不动就用外治法，不知道内病未愈，而用外治的劫药，很少有不受害的。我今天特别传授一方，凡是患有胬肉攀睛、拳毛倒睫的人，服用没有不逐渐痊愈的，只是不能取得神速的效果。因为眼睛既然经过误治而成此病，其由来不是一天两天，用药怎能要求近效呢？方名磨翳丹：葳蕤（一斤） 甘菊花（一斤） 当归（一斤） 白芍（一斤） 陈皮（二两） 柴胡（三两） 同州蒺藜（一斤） 白芥子（四两） 茯神（半斤），各研为末，蜜制为丸。每日早晚用白开水送服各五钱，服完一料完全痊愈。此方在攻邪中兼顾补益，不治风而风自息，不治火而火自亡，不治胬肉而胬肉自消，不去拳毛而拳毛自去，千万不要视为平平无奇，而不知道奇妙寓于平淡之中。此症用加减逍遥散也很好。白芍 当归（各一两） 甘草 白蒺藜 蕤仁（各一钱） 陈皮（五分） 茯苓（三钱） 甘菊（三钱） 柴胡 半夏（各三分），水煎服。三月痊愈。
有人眼睛疼痛后迎风流泪，到了夜晚眼睛昏暗不明，一见灯光两眼干涩，这是少年时丧失元阳，又加上患时行眼病，不遵守色欲禁忌，以致损伤大精，所以泪孔不闭，风寒透入泪孔，内气即虚，外邪难挡，所以流泪。眼泪生于心，泪窍正是心的窍穴。伤心则流泪，伤大精也流泪，正见内外密切相关，伤大精即是伤心。然而要想止住大精之泪，怎么可以不急补心呢？而仅仅补心，也没有益处，必须兼治肾与肝，使肾水生肝木，而肝木更能补心。方用固根汤：葳蕤（一两） 当归（五钱） 白芍（五钱） 熟地（一两） 麦冬（五钱） 甘菊（三钱） 菖蒲（三分） 柴胡（五分），水煎服。连服四剂，就不怕风了；再服四剂，见风不再流泪了；再服十剂完全痊愈。葳蕤最善于止泪，加之当归、白芍以补肝，熟地以滋肾，益之麦冬以补心，佐之甘菊、菖蒲、柴胡以舒散风火，并引导诸经药物以堵塞泪窍，这是巩固根本而末症自然痊愈。此症用养目汤也有效。当归 熟地 葳蕤 白芍（各五钱） 山萸 茯苓 麦冬 白术 丹皮 枸杞（各三钱） 巴戟天（二钱） 柴胡（三分），水煎服。十剂完全痊愈。
有人患时行眼病之后，眼睛不痛，但颜色淡红，然而怕光恶日，与眼睛疼痛时无异，这是内伤引起的眼病，人们误作实火治疗，又加上不慎色欲，所以如此。如果再作风火治疗，必有失明的悲剧，必须大补肝肾，使水旺以生肝，木旺以祛风，则眼睛得到津液相互滋养，而虚火尽散。方用养目汤：熟地（一两） 白芍（五钱） 麦冬（五钱） 当归（一两） 葳蕤（五钱） 山茱萸（四钱） 北五味（一钱） 甘草（一钱） 甘菊花（二钱） 柴胡（五分），水煎服。两剂后眼睛明亮，又两剂后怕光的症状痊愈，再四剂后红色尽除而痊愈。此方大补肾肝，全不去治眼，正所以治眼。世医每拘执成方，不顾眼睛的虚实，一味以治火为主，不知毁坏天下人的眼睛几百万了。希望治眼者，察其虚实，如知其虚，就用此方投之，效应如响，正不必分前后。然而初起即是内伤之眼痛，从何处辨别呢？日间痛重的是阳火，乃是实证；夜间痛重的是阴火，乃是虚证。虚证就用此方急治，随手建功，何至变生不测呢？此症用还光饮也很妙。熟地（一两） 山茱萸（四钱） 枸杞 甘菊 同州蒺藜 玄参 麦冬（各三钱） 葳蕤（五钱） 肉桂（三分），水煎服。十剂完全痊愈。
有人阴火上冲，两眼红肿，流泪但不热，怕光但不严重，日出时痛轻，日落时痛重。这不是虚证的疼痛吗？然而不在肝而在肾。肾中没有火，下焦寒甚，乃逼迫其火而上行，浮游于眼睛而眼睛疼痛。治疗方法不可泻火，而宜补火，并且不可仅补火，而兼宜补水。肾中真寒而火不存，实则是肾中少水而火无养。水火原不可分离，补水即宜补火则水不寒，补火即宜补水则火不燥。治疗阴虚火动的病症，无不应当兼治，为何唯独治眼不同呢？方用八味地黄汤加减：熟地（一两） 山茱萸（五钱） 山药（五钱） 茯苓 泽泻 丹皮（各三钱） 柴胡（五分） 白芍（五钱） 甘菊花（三钱） 肉桂（一钱），水煎服。一剂后阴火归源，眼疾顿愈。多么神奇的治疗方法啊！盖阴阳之道，归根最速，我用六味地黄丸大滋肾中之水，加肉桂以温命门之火，火喜欢水养，即随水而同归于本宫，龙雷安静，而云汉之间火光自散，有不返为青天白日之世界乎？何况佐之柴胡、白芍、甘菊，风以吹之，通大泽之气，而雷火更且安然也。此症用抑火散也有效。熟地 麦冬（各一两） 北五味 肉桂（各一钱） 巴戟天 葳蕤（各五钱），水煎服。一剂见效，二剂完全痊愈。
有人能近视而不能远视，近视则蝇脚细字辨晰秋毫，远视则咫尺之外不辨真假，人们以为肝血不足，谁知是肾火之本微弱呢。肾火者，先天之火也，这火存在于肾水之中，近视之人，既然不是水不足，为何导致火无余？不知道先天之火，是天赋予的，生来火微，光焰自然短。盖眼睛之中，不仅神水涵之，亦藏神火，所以凡光能照远者是火，近视之人，正是神火微弱。神火藏于目中，而发于肾内，治疗近视的病，必须补肾火为主。然而火非水不养，虽然近视之人，原有肾水，然能保其后天不被斫削乎。水中补火，是不易之道。方用养火助明汤：熟地（五钱） 山茱萸（三钱） 葳蕤（五钱） 巴戟天（一两） 肉桂（一钱） 麦冬（三钱） 北五味子（三分） 枸杞（三钱），水煎服。一月之后，自然渐渐能远视矣。仍将前药修合丸散，日日吞服，一年之后，远近俱能视也。但服药之时，必须坚忍色欲为妙，否则仅得一半之道耳。此方补命门之火，所以助其阳也。虽助阳无非益阴，本无他害，诚恐不善受益者，借阳以作乐，故戒之如此。此症用鉴远汤也很好。附子 北五味（各一钱） 熟地 葳蕤（各一两） 山茱萸（五钱），水煎服。
有人眼睛疼痛，两个瞳孔比黄精大，视物不准，以小为大，人们以为是内热的缘故，谁知是气血虚弱，而骤用热物火酒造成的呢。夫五脏六腑之精，皆上注于目，而瞳孔尤精之所注也。故精足则瞳孔明，精亏则瞳孔暗。视物而昧大小者，盖筋骨气血之精而为脉并为系，上属于脑。脑热则瞳孔散大，而脑之所以热者，由于多食辛热之物也。火酒者，酒中至热之浆，且其气又主散，脑中之精最恶散而最易散，热而加散，脑气又乌能安然无恙乎？自必随热而随散矣。脑气既热，则难于清凉，更难于静，固欲瞳孔之不散大而不可得，又乌能视物有准哉。治法以解热益气为主，而解热必须滋阴，滋阴自易降火，然后于滋降之中佐之酸收之味，始克敛瞳神之散大也。方用敛瞳丹：熟地（一两） 山茱萸（五钱） 白芍（一两） 当归（五钱） 黄连（三钱） 五味子（一钱） 人参（三钱） 甘草（一钱） 地骨皮（五钱） 柴胡（五分） 柞木枝（三钱） 陈皮（五分） 黄柏（五分），水煎服。连服四剂，瞳孔渐小，再服四剂，而视物有准矣，服一月完全痊愈。此方凉血于补血之中，泻邪于助正之内，祛酒热于无形，收散精于不觉，实有不知其然而然之妙，较东垣治法为更神也。此症用束睛丹也有效。熟地 白芍 麦冬（各一两） 人参（五钱） 炒栀子 川芎（各三钱） 北五味（一钱），水煎服。十剂完全痊愈。
有人患眼病数日，即生翳，由下而上，其翳色作淡绿状，瞳孔痛不可当，人们以为是肝木之风，谁知是肾火乘肺，肺火与肾水相合而不解乎。夫肾主黑色，肺主白色，白与黑相合，必变绿色也。惟是肾为肺子，肺为肾母，二火何以相犯，乃子母之变耳。第子母相犯者，无关轻重，其翳由下而上，是子犯其母，亦缘母之过柔也。天下安有母旺，而子敢犯者乎。是治之之法补母，而子之逆可安矣。虽然子之天性凶逆，亦从旁之人必有导之，始敢安于逆而罔顾。肾火之犯肺者，亦经络之多不调也。补肺金以抑肾，乌可不调其经络，以孤肾火之党乎。方用健母丹：麦冬 天冬（各一两） 生甘草 黄芩（各一钱） 茯苓 青蒿 白芍 桔梗 丹参（各三钱） 陈皮（三分） 天花粉（二钱），水煎服。一剂而绿色退，四剂而目翳散，十剂完全痊愈。此方用二冬以补肺，用甘草、桔梗以散肺之邪，用黄芩以退肺之火，则肺气既旺，而肾火自然难侵。况益之茯苓以泻膀胱之火，用青蒿以泻胃脾之热，白芍以平肝胆之气，丹参以清心内之炎，是脏腑无非清凉，而肾脏邪火安能作祟。譬如一家之中，叔伯兄弟尽是正人君子，群来解劝，而忤逆之儿即不愧悔自艾，断不能增添其横，而为犯上之乱矣。此症用益肺汤也有效。麦冬（二两） 天门冬（五钱） 生地 玄参（各一两），水煎服。十剂痊愈。
有人两眼无恙，而视物皆倒植，人们以为是肝气之逆，谁知是肝叶之倒置乎。夫目之系通于肝，而肝之神注于目，肝斜则视斜，肝正则视正，肝直则视直，肝曲则视曲，肝岐则视岐，此理之常也。今视物倒植者，乃肝叶倒而不顺耳。此必因呕吐而得者。盖吐则五脏反复，而肝叶开张，壅塞于上焦，不能一时回转，故肝叶倒而视物亦倒也。治法宜再使之吐，然而一吐已伤五脏，再吐不重伤五脏之气血乎，但不吐而肝叶不易遽转，吾于吐中而仍用和法。方用安脏汤：参芦鞭（二两） 瓜蒂（七个） 甘草（一两） 荆芥（三钱），水煎三大碗，顿服之，即用鹅翎扫喉中，必大吐。吐后而肝叶必顺矣。瓜蒂散原是吐药，余加参芦鞭、甘草、荆芥者，于补中以行其吐，即于吐中以安其经络，何至五脏反复，以重伤其气血哉。此乃吐之变法也，凡虚人而宜用吐法者，皆可照此法治之。此症用参芦汤吐之也妙。人参芦（四两） 煎汤数碗，尽服之，以鹅翎扫喉引吐，吐后即愈。
有人惊悸之后，眼睛张开不能闭合，百计使之合眼不可得，人们以为是心气之弱，谁知是肝胆之气结乎。虽五脏六腑，皆禀受脾土，上贯于目，而目之系实内连肝胆也。肝胆血足而气舒，肝胆血亏而气结，然此犹平居无事之谓也。肝胆逢惊则血缩，肝胆逢悸则血止，血止血缩，而气乃因之而结矣。气结则肝胆之系不能上通于目，而目之睫不能下矣。治法必须解其气结，然而不易解也，仍当补其肝胆之血，血旺则气伸，而结乃解也。方用解结舒气汤：白芍（一两） 当归（一两） 炒枣仁（一两） 郁李仁（三钱），水煎服。一剂而眼睛能闭合矣。白芍平肝胆之旺，于泻中能补，当归滋肝胆之枯，于补中能散，炒枣仁安心之药，心安则不必取资于肝胆，子安而母更安也。郁李仁善能去肝胆之结，入之于三味之中，尤易入肝而舒滞去郁也，所以一剂奏功耳。此症用舒结汤也神。柴胡 荆芥（各二钱） 白芍（一两） 甘草 半夏 独活（各一钱） 炒枣仁（四钱） 麦冬（五钱），水煎服。一剂眼睛闭合而卧。
有人无故忽视物为两人，以为肝气之有余，谁知是脑气之不足乎。盖目之系下通于肝，而上实属于脑，脑气不足，则肝之气应之，肝气大虚不能应脑，于是各分其气以应物，因之见一为两矣。孙真人曰：邪中于头，因逢身之虚其入深，则随目系入于脑，入于脑则转，转则目系急，急则目眩以转；邪中于睛，所中者不相比则
A person experiences eye pain as if pricked, with excessive discharge in the corners of the eyes, photophobia (sensitivity to light) and aversion to sunlight, swelling of both eyelids, and continuous tearing. This is caused by wind-fire disturbing the Liver Wood, while the Qi of the Spleen and Stomach fails to ascend. The postnatal foundation of human life relies primarily on the Spleen and Stomach. Once the Spleen and Stomach are constrained by the Liver Wood, Earth Qi becomes suppressed, body fluids dry up, and consequently, Liver Wood loses nourishment and becomes dry. When Wind attacks it further, the Liver Wood becomes even drier. The eyes are the orifices of the Liver; since the Liver contains nothing but wind-fire Qi, how can the eyes obtain coolness? However, since the Liver Meridian is dry, why do the eyes produce tears? This is because Kidney Qi comes to its rescue. The Liver is the son of the Kidney. When the Liver, the son, is besieged by wind-fire pathogens and faces an urgent crisis, it must seek help from the Kidney, the mother. The Kidney, feeling pity for its son, will necessarily use Water to assist it. However, since the wind-fire has not been eliminated, the assisted Water battles against the wind-fire. The Kidney wishes to nourish the Liver but cannot, and the Liver desires Water but dares not accept it. Thus, the eyes derive no benefit from Water but instead suffer harm from it. Nevertheless, Water is ultimately favored by Wood, while Fire is ultimately feared by Wood. The sun is Yang Fire, and lamp light is Yin Fire; therefore, both are contraindicated. The treatment method should naturally prioritize dispelling wind and extinguishing fire. However, if one treats only wind and fire without employing harmonizing methods, the wind will not easily disperse, nor will the fire easily subside. Use Xifen Decoction: Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix, 2 qian), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, 3 qian), Bai Shao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, 3 qian), Tian Hua Fen (Trichosanthis Radix, 2 qian), Bai Ji Li (Tribuli Fructus, 3 qian), Man Jing Zi (Viticis Semen, 1 qian), Gan Ju Hua (Chrysanthemi Flos, 3 qian), Cao Jue Ming (Cassiae Semen, 1 qian), Chao Zhi Zi (Gardeniae Fructus Praeparated, 3 qian), Bai Fu Ling (Poria, 3 qian). Decoct in water and take orally. After two doses, the fire subsides; after another two doses, photophobia and aversion to sunlight disappear; after another two doses, all symptoms resolve completely. This formula drains the wind-fire of Liver Wood and effectively regulates the Qi of the Spleen and Stomach, further assisting with herbs that clear nebulae from the eyes, truly achieving appropriate harmonization. For this condition, Chai Jing Yin is also excellent. Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix), Bo He (Menthae Haplocalycis Herba), Jing Jie (Schizonepetae Spica), Gan Ju Hua (Chrysanthemi Flos) (each 1 qian), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 3 fen), Fu Ling (Poria, 3 qian), Bai Shao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, 4 qian), Bai Ji Li (Tribuli Fructus), Cao Jue Ming (Cassiae Semen), Chao Zhi Zi (Gardeniae Fructus Praeparated) (each 2 qian), Mi Meng Hua (Onosmi Flos), Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum) (each 5 fen). Decoct in water and take orally. Cured in four doses.
A person suffers from chronic eye pain lasting years, with persistent redness, leading to the growth of pterygium (fleshy growth extending onto the cornea) and trichiasis (in-turned eyelashes). This is due to misdiagnosis and mistreatment. Generally, acute eye pain indicates excess pathogenic factors, while chronic eye pain indicates deficiency of healthy Qi. If a deficiency pattern is treated with methods for excess patterns, this condition arises. People fail to realize this and frequently resort to external treatments, unaware that using harsh external remedies before internal diseases are resolved rarely avoids harm. I now specifically transmit a formula for anyone suffering from pterygium or trichiasis; taking it will lead to gradual recovery, though rapid results should not be expected. Since the disease resulted from prior mistreatment, its origin is long-standing; how can medication demand immediate efficacy? The formula is named Moyi Dan: Rui Yu (Polygonati Odorati Rhizoma, 1 jin), Gan Ju Hua (Chrysanthemi Flos, 1 jin), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, 1 jin), Bai Shao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, 1 jin), Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, 2 liang), Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix, 3 liang), Tongzhou Ji Li (Tribuli Fructus, 1 jin), Bai Jie Zi (Sinapis Semen, 4 liang), Fu Shen (Poria cum Radice, 0.5 jin). Grind each into powder, form pills with honey. Take five qian with plain boiled water morning and evening. One course cures completely. This formula combines attack with tonification; wind subsides without direct treatment, fire vanishes without direct treatment, pterygium resolves without direct treatment, and in-turned lashes correct themselves without direct removal. Do not view it as ordinary, for wonder lies within the mundane. For this condition, Jiajian Xiaoyao San is also good. Bai Shao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) (each 1 liang), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Bai Ji Li (Tribuli Fructus), Rui Ren (Buckwheat Seed, 1 qian), Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, 5 fen), Fu Ling (Poria, 3 qian), Gan Ju Hua (Chrysanthemi Flos, 3 qian), Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix), Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma Praeparatum) (each 3 fen). Decoct in water and take orally. Cured in three months.
A person experiences tearing upon exposure to wind after eye pain, darkness and blurriness at night, and dryness when exposed to lamp light. This results from loss of Yuan Yang (Original Yang) in youth, compounded by contracting epidemic eye disease and failing to observe sexual abstinence, thereby damaging the essence. Consequently, the tear ducts remain open, allowing wind-cold to penetrate; internal Qi becomes deficient, and external pathogens are difficult to repel, causing tearing. Tears originate from the Heart, and the tear duct is the orifice of the Heart. Injury to the Heart causes tearing; injury to the essence also causes tearing, indicating close internal-external connection, as injuring essence is equivalent to injuring the Heart. To stop tearing from essence damage, one must urgently tonify the Heart. However, tonifying the Heart alone is insufficient; one must treat the Kidney and Liver simultaneously, so that Kidney Water generates Liver Wood, and Liver Wood further tonifies the Heart. Use Gugen Tang: Rui Yu (Polygonati Odorati Rhizoma, 1 liang), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, 5 qian), Bai Shao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, 5 qian), Shu Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata, 1 liang), Mai Dong (Ophiopogonis Tuber, 5 qian), Gan Ju Hua (Chrysanthemi Flos, 3 qian), Chang Pu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma, 3 fen), Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix, 5 fen). Decoct in water and take orally. After four doses, wind aversion ceases; after another four doses, tearing upon wind exposure stops; after ten more doses, complete recovery occurs. Rui Yu best stops tearing; combined with Dang Gui and Bai Shao to tonify the Liver, Shu Di Huang to nourish the Kidney, and Mai Dong to tonify the Heart, assisted by Gan Ju Hua, Chang Pu, and Chai Hu to soothe wind-fire, and guiding other meridians' herbs to seal the tear ducts, this consolidates the root so branch symptoms resolve spontaneously. For this condition, Yangmu Tang is also effective. Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Shu Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata), Rui Yu (Polygonati Odorati Rhizoma), Bai Shao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) (each 5 qian), Shan Yu (Corni Fructus), Fu Ling (Poria), Mai Dong (Ophiopogonis Tuber), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Dan Pi (Moutan Cortex), Gou Qi (Lycii Fructus) (each 3 qian), Ba Ji Tian (Morinda Officinalis Radix, 2 qian), Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix, 3 fen). Decoct in water and take orally. Cured in ten doses.
After contracting epidemic eye disease, a person’s eyes do not hurt but appear pale red, yet they suffer from photophobia and aversion to sunlight, similar to acute eye pain. This is an internally injured eye condition mistakenly treated as excess fire, exacerbated by careless sexual indulgence. If treated again as wind-fire, blindness may result. One must greatly tonify the Liver and Kidney, making Water abundant to generate Liver Wood, and Wood vigorous to dispel wind, so the eyes receive fluid nourishment and deficient fire dissipates. Use Yangmu Tang: Shu Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata, 1 liang), Bai Shao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, 5 qian), Mai Dong (Ophiopogonis Tuber, 5 qian), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, 1 liang), Rui Yu (Polygonati Odorati Rhizoma, 5 qian), Shan Zhu Yu (Corni Fructus, 4 qian), Bei Wu Wei (Schisandrae Fructus, 1 qian), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 1 qian), Gan Ju Hua (Chrysanthemi Flos, 2 qian), Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix, 5 fen). Decoct in water and take orally. Eyes brighten after two doses; photophobia resolves after another two doses; redness disappears after four more doses, leading to cure. This formula greatly tonifies the Kidney and Liver; by not directly treating the eyes, it effectively treats them. Physicians often rigidly adhere to fixed formulas, ignoring the deficiency or excess of the eyes, focusing solely on clearing fire, unknowingly ruining millions of pairs of eyes. Practitioners should assess deficiency or excess; if deficiency is identified, use this formula, and effects will be immediate, regardless of timing. How to distinguish initial internal injury eye pain? Pain worse during the day indicates Yang Fire (excess); pain worse at night indicates Yin Fire (deficiency). Treat deficiency urgently with this formula for instant results, preventing unpredictable complications. For this condition, Huanguang Yin is also excellent. Shu Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata, 1 liang), Shan Zhu Yu (Corni Fructus, 4 qian), Gou Qi (Lycii Fructus), Gan Ju Hua (Chrysanthemi Flos), Tongzhou Ji Li (Tribuli Fructus), Xuan Shen (Scrophulariae Radix), Mai Dong (Ophiopogonis Tuber) (each 3 qian), Rui Yu (Polygonati Odorati Rhizoma, 5 qian), Rou Gui (Cinnamomi Cortex, 3 fen). Decoct in water and take orally. Cured in ten doses.
A person experiences upward surging of Yin Fire, causing redness and swelling of both eyes, tearing without heat, mild photophobia, lighter pain at sunrise, and heavier pain at sunset. Is this not pain from a deficiency syndrome? However, it originates in the Kidney, not the Liver. With no Fire in the Kidney and severe cold in the Lower Jiao, the remaining Fire is forced upward, floating to the eyes and causing pain. Treatment should not drain Fire but tonify Fire, and not merely tonify Fire but also supplement Water. True Cold in the Kidney means Fire is absent; actually, insufficient Water in the Kidney leaves Fire un-nourished. Water and Fire cannot be separated; supplementing Water requires supplementing Fire so Water is not cold, and supplementing Fire requires supplementing Water so Fire is not dry. Treating deficiency-Yin with hyperactive Fire always requires simultaneous treatment; why treat eye conditions differently? Use Bajia Dihuang Tang modified: Shu Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata, 1 liang), Shan Zhu Yu (Corni Fructus, 5 qian), Shan Yao (Dioscoreae Rhizoma, 5 qian), Fu Ling (Poria), Ze Xie (Alismatis Rhizoma), Dan Pi (Moutan Cortex) (each 3 qian), Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix, 5 fen), Bai Shao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, 5 qian), Gan Ju Hua (Chrysanthemi Flos, 3 qian), Rou Gui (Cinnamomi Cortex, 1 qian). Decoct in water and take orally. After one dose, Yin Fire returns to its source, and eye disease is instantly cured. How miraculous is this treatment! The Way of Yin and Yang returns to the root most quickly. I use Liuwei Dihuang Wan to greatly nourish Kidney Water, adding Rou Gui to warm Mingmen Fire. Fire delights in being nourished by Water, returning together to the original palace. Longlei (Dragon Thunder) calms down, and firelight in the sky disperses naturally, restoring a clear blue world. Assisted by Chai Hu, Bai Shao, and Gan Ju Hua, wind blows through, ventilating the great marsh, making thunder-fire even safer. For this condition, Yihuo San is also effective. Shu Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata), Mai Dong (Ophiopogonis Tuber) (each 1 liang), Bei Wu Wei (Schisandrae Fructus), Rou Gui (Cinnamomi Cortex) (each 1 qian), Ba Ji Tian (Morinda Officinalis Radix), Rui Yu (Polygonati Odorati Rhizoma) (each 5 qian). Decoct in water and take orally. Effective after one dose, cured in two doses.
A person can see near but not far; near vision allows distinguishing fine details like fly legs, while far vision beyond a few feet cannot distinguish true from false. People attribute this to insufficient Liver Blood, but it is actually due to weak Kidney Fire. Kidney Fire is congenital Fire, residing within Kidney Water. In myopia, Water is not deficient, so why is Fire exhausted? Congenital Fire is granted by Heaven; if born with weak Fire, its flame is naturally short. Within the eyes, not only Shen Water (Divine Fluid) nourishes them, but Shen Fire (Divine Fire) is also stored. Light reaching far distances is due to Fire; myopia indicates weak Shen Fire. Shen Fire is stored in the eyes but emanates from the Kidneys. Treating myopia must primarily tonify Kidney Fire. However, Fire cannot survive without Water. Although myopic people have Kidney Water, can they protect it from postnatal depletion? Supplementing Fire within Water is a difficult principle. Use Yanghuozhuming Tang: Shu Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata, 5 qian), Shan Zhu Yu (Corni Fructus, 3 qian), Rui Yu (Polygonati Odorati Rhizoma, 5 qian), Ba Ji Tian (Morinda Officinalis Radix, 1 liang), Rou Gui (Cinnamomi Cortex, 1 qian), Mai Dong (Ophiopogonis Tuber, 3 qian), Bei Wu Wei Zi (Schisandrae Fructus, 3 fen), Gou Qi (Lycii Fructus, 3 qian). Decoct in water and take orally. After one month, distant vision gradually improves. Continue preparing the previous herbs into pills or powder for daily consumption; after one year, both near and far vision will be restored. During medication, strict sexual abstinence is essential; otherwise, only half the benefit is achieved. This formula tonifies Mingmen Fire to assist Yang. Assisting Yang essentially benefits Yin, causing no harm, but caution is advised against those who misuse Yang for pleasure. For this condition, Jianyuan Tang is also good. Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata), Bei Wu Wei (Schisandrae Fructus) (each 1 qian), Shu Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata), Rui Yu (Polygonati Odorati Rhizoma) (each 1 liang), Shan Zhu Yu (Corni Fructus, 5 qian). Decoct in water and take orally.
A person suffers eye pain with pupils larger than yellow jujube pits, blurry vision where small objects appear large. People attribute this to internal heat, but it is actually due to Qi and Blood deficiency, aggravated by sudden consumption of hot foods and strong wine. The essence of all Zang-Fu organs ascends to the eyes, especially the pupils. Abundant essence makes pupils bright; deficient essence makes them dim. Blurred size perception occurs because tendons, bones, Qi, and Blood essence form vessels and connections ascending to the brain. Brain heat causes pupil dilation; brain heat results from excessive spicy and hot foods. Strong wine is the hottest liquid, and its nature is dispersing. Brain essence dislikes dispersion and disperses easily; heat combined with dispersion makes brain Qi unsafe. It inevitably disperses with heat. Once brain Qi is hot, it resists cooling and stillness; thus, preventing pupil dilation is impossible, and accurate vision cannot be maintained. Treatment focuses on clearing heat and benefiting Qi. Clearing heat requires nourishing Yin; nourishing Yin facilitates lowering Fire. Then, adding sour astringents to nourishing and lowering agents helps收敛 (astringe) the dispersed Shen Spirit in the pupils. Use Liantong Dan: Shu Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata, 1 liang), Shan Zhu Yu (Corni Fructus, 5 qian), Bai Shao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, 1 liang), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, 5 qian), Huang Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma, 3 qian), Wu Wei Zi (Schisandrae Fructus, 1 qian), Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix, 3 qian), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 1 qian), Di Gu Pi (Lycii Cortex, 5 qian), Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix, 5 fen), Zuo Mu Zhi (Quercus Branch, 3 qian), Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, 5 fen), Huang Bo (Phellodendri Cortex, 5 fen). Decoct in water and take orally. After four doses, pupils gradually shrink; after another four doses, vision stabilizes; cured in one month. This formula cools blood while tonifying blood, drains pathogens while supporting healthy Qi, removes wine heat invisibly, and gathers dispersed essence unconsciously, possessing subtle wonders beyond understanding, surpassing Dongyuan's methods. For this condition, Shujing Dan is also effective. Shu Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata), Bai Shao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Mai Dong (Ophiopogonis Tuber) (each 1 liang), Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix, 5 qian), Chao Zhi Zi (Gardeniae Fructus Praeparated), Chuan Xiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma) (each 3 qian), Bei Wu Wei (Schisandrae Fructus, 1 qian). Decoct in water and take orally. Cured in ten doses.
A person develops eye opacity (nebula) within days of eye disease, rising from below, with a pale green color and unbearable pupil pain. People attribute this to Liver Wind, but it is actually Kidney Fire attacking the Lung, where Lung Fire and Kidney Water combine unresolved. Kidney governs Black, Lung governs White; combining White and Black turns Green. Kidney is the son of Lung, Lung is the mother of Kidney; how do their Fires clash? It is a reversal of the mother-son relationship. Usually, mother-son clashes are minor; here, the opacity rises from below, indicating the son attacking the mother, due to the mother's excessive softness. Can a strong mother be attacked by her son? Therefore, treatment involves tonifying the mother to pacify the rebellious son. Although sons are naturally rebellious, they require instigation from others to act recklessly. Kidney Fire attacking the Lung also involves meridian disharmony. Tonifying Lung Metal to suppress Kidney requires regulating meridians to isolate Kidney Fire's allies. Use Jianmu Dan: Mai Dong (Ophiopogonis Tuber), Tian Dong (Asparagi Tuber) (each 1 liang), Sheng Gan Cao (Raw Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix) (each 1 qian), Fu Ling (Poria), Qing Hao (Artemisiae Annuae Herba), Bai Shao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Jie Geng (Platycodonis Radix), Dan Shen (Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix) (each 3 qian), Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, 3 fen), Tian Hua Fen (Trichosanthis Radix, 2 qian). Decoct in water and take orally. Green color fades after one dose; opacity disperses after four doses; cured in ten doses. This formula uses Er Dong (Mai Dong and Tian Dong) to tonify the Lung, Gan Cao and Jie Geng to disperse Lung pathogens, and Huang Qin to clear Lung Fire. Once Lung Qi is vigorous, Kidney Fire cannot invade. Additionally, Fu Ling drains Bladder Fire, Qing Hao clears Stomach-Spleen Heat, Bai Shao pacifies Liver-Gallbladder Qi, and Dan Shen clears Heart inflammation. With all Zang-Fu organs cooled, how can Kidney pathogenic Fire cause trouble? Like a family where uncles and brothers are upright gentlemen gathering to advise, a rebellious son feels ashamed and stops his rebellion. For this condition, Yifei Tang is also effective. Mai Dong (Ophiopogonis Tuber, 2 liang), Tian Men Dong (Asparagi Tuber, 5 qian), Sheng Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix), Xuan Shen (Scrophulariae Radix) (each 1 liang). Decoct in water and take orally. Cured in ten doses.
A person has healthy eyes but sees objects inverted. People attribute this to rebellious Liver Qi, but it is actually due to inverted Liver Leaf. Eye connections pass through the Liver, and Liver Spirit focuses on the eyes. Slanted Liver leads to slanted vision; straight Liver leads to straight vision; curved Liver leads to curved vision; divided Liver leads to divided vision. Seeing inversion is due to inverted Liver Leaf. This likely results from vomiting. Vomiting reverses the Five Zang organs, opening the Liver Leaf, blocking the Upper Jiao, preventing immediate rotation, causing Liver Leaf inversion and inverted vision. Treatment should induce vomiting again, but one vomit already injures the Five Zang organs; a second vomit would severely damage Qi and Blood. Without vomiting, the Liver Leaf does not rotate easily. I use harmonizing methods within vomiting. Use Anzang Tang: Shen Lu Bian (Ginseng Radix Rhizoma, 2 liang), Gua Di (Melonis Fructus, 7 pieces), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 1 liang), Jing Jie (Schizonepetae Spica, 3 qian). Decoct in three large bowls of water, take all at once, then sweep the throat with goose feathers to induce heavy vomiting. After vomiting, the Liver Leaf will align. Guadi San is originally a vomiting agent; I added Shen Lu Bian, Gan Cao, and Jing Jie to promote vomiting within tonification and calm meridians within vomiting, avoiding severe Qi and Blood damage from organ reversal. This is a modified vomiting method applicable to deficient patients requiring vomiting. For this condition, Shenlu Tang induced vomiting is also excellent. Ren Shen Lu (Ginseng Radix Rhizoma, 4 liang). Decoct in several bowls of water, consume all, sweep throat with goose feathers to induce vomiting; cured immediately after vomiting.
After fright and palpitations, a person's eyes remain open and cannot close despite efforts. People attribute this to weak Heart Qi, but it is actually Qi stagnation in the Liver and Gallbladder. Although all Zang-Fu organs receive Qi from Spleen Earth and connect to the eyes, eye connections internally link to the Liver and Gallbladder. Sufficient Liver-Gallbladder Blood leads to smooth Qi; deficient Blood leads to Qi stagnation. This applies to normal states. Upon fright, Liver-Gallbladder Blood contracts; upon palpitations, Blood stops. Stopped and contracted Blood causes Qi to knot. Kotted Qi prevents Liver-Gallbladder connections from ascending to the eyes, keeping eyelids from closing. Treatment must resolve Qi stagnation, which is difficult; thus, one must tonify Liver-Gallbladder Blood. Vigorous Blood extends Qi, resolving stagnation. Use Jiejieshuqi Tang: Bai Shao (Paeoniae Radix Alba, 1 liang), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, 1 liang), Chao Zao Ren (Ziziphi Spinosae Semen Praeparated, 1 liang), Yu Li Ren (Pruni Semen, 3 qian). Decoct in water and take orally. Eyes can close after one dose. Bai Shao pacifies excessive Liver-Gallbladder activity, tonifying while draining; Dang Gui nourishes Liver-Gallbladder dryness, dispersing while tonifying; Chao Zao Ren calms the Heart; when the Heart is calm, it need not rely on the Liver, so the Son is calm and the Mother is calmer.
