Compilation of 106 Formulas from the Golden Chamber (Jin Kui Yao Lue)

1 Ren Shen Tang——(Shen Cao Bai Jiang):This is the Li Zhong Tang with Pao Jiang replaced by Gan Jiang. Fresh ginger is used for its pungent dispersing properties, while Pao Jiang retains warmth without dispersing, and Gan Jiang is more warming with less dispersing effect.

2 Xiao Ban Xia Tang——(Sheng Jiang 24, Ban Xia 15):A method to harmonize the stomach and stop vomiting, applicable for vomiting caused by phlegm and dampness in the stomach.

3 Ban Xia Gan Jiang San——Treats stomach cold with salivation, using the same herbs as Xiao Ban Xia Tang, as Sheng Jiang disperses and Gan Jiang warms the middle. The main symptoms are similar to Wu Zhu Yu Tang, but the latter involves cold evil with concurrent stomach deficiency, while this is purely cold, hence no supplementary tonics are needed.

4 Xiao Ban Xia Tang plus Fu Ling Tang——Also has a diuretic effect.

(If one is thirsty after vomiting, it indicates a desire to relieve, but if there is no thirst, it is due to phlegm retention in the heart. Xiao Ban Xia Tang addresses this. If there is sudden vomiting, fullness in the heart, and water in the diaphragm causing dizziness and palpitations, Xiao Ban Xia plus Fu Ling Tang is indicated. Thirst followed by vomiting indicates water retention in the heart, which belongs to phlegm, thus Xiao Ban Xia plus Fu Ling Tang is indicated.)

5 Da Ban Xia Tang(Ban Xia 15, Ren Shen 9, Bai Mi 30):A method to tonify the middle and stop vomiting. The difference from Xiao Ban Xia Tang is that the latter has a real evil, hence uses pungent dispersing herbs; this is for stomach deficiency, thus uses sweet herbs to harmonize.

6 Gan Jiang Ren Shen Ban Xia Wan:Suitable for cold phlegm vomiting, not specifically for pregnancy-related nausea.

7 Da Huang Gan Cao Tang(Da Huang 12, Gan Cao 3):A method to purge fire and stop vomiting, differing from Da Ban Xia Tang in terms of deficiency and excess, cold and heat. (For those who vomit immediately after eating, Da Huang Gan Cao Tang is indicated.)

8 Xiao Qing Long Tang(Jiang Wu Ma Xi Xin Ban Cao Shao Zhi):The main formula for exterior evil with water qi, thus most suitable for cough and wheezing caused by external cold.

9 Xiao Qing Long plus Shi Gao Tang——Warms and transforms water and phlegm while also treating irritability, but ultimately focuses more on phlegm than heat, contrasting with Yue Bi plus Ban Xia Tang, which emphasizes heat over phlegm.

10 Yue Bi Tang——(Ma Huang 18, Shi Gao 24, Gan Cao 6, Sheng Jiang 9, Da Zao 5)——A method to release the exterior with pungent cold herbs.

11 Yue Bi plus Ban Xia Tang——Suitable for phlegm-heat obstruction; Ma Huang can open the lungs and does not necessarily induce sweating.

12 Yue Bi plus Shu Tang——A method to disperse the exterior and promote diuresis.

13 She Gan Ma Huang Tang——(She Gan Ma Huang Xi Xin Ban Xia Zi Wan Dong Hua Ban Xia Wu Wei Sheng Jiang Da Zao)——A method to disperse and drain, capable of warming and transforming cold phlegm, also applicable for general asthma symptoms.

14 Hou Po Ma Huang Tang——(Hou Po Ma Huang Xing Ren Ban Xia Gan Jiang Xi Xin Wu Wei Xiao Mai Shi Gao)

14 Da Qing Long Tang——Based on Ma Huang Tang with Shi Gao added, suitable for exterior evil with internal heat symptoms. (For those with overflow of phlegm, sweating should be induced; Da Qing Long Tang is indicated, as is Xiao Qing Long Tang.)

15 Da Jian Zhong Tang——(Shu Jiao, Gan Jiang, Ren Shen). Warms the middle and disperses cold, differing from Xiao Jian Zhong Tang in urgency.

16 Yin Chen Hao Tang——(Yin Chen Zhi Da Huang)Main formula for Yang jaundice.

17 Yin Chen Wu Ling San——Treats jaundice by promoting urination; for severe internal heat, use Zhi Zi Bai Pi Tang. For milder heat, use this formula.

18 Da Huang Niao Shi Tang——(Da Huang 12, Huang Bai 12, Niao Shi 12, Zhi Zi 9)Treats jaundice with internal excess, more potent than Yin Chen Hao Tang.

19 Zhi Zi Da Huang Tang——(Zhi Zi 9, Da Huang 3, Zhi Shi 9, Dou Chi 12)(For alcoholic jaundice, with internal obstruction or pain, Zhi Zi Da Huang Tang is indicated.)

20 Zhi Zi Chi Tang——Treats vexation in the chest, later generations modified to use Jiao Shan Zhi as a general treatment for clearing and dispersing upper jiao wind-heat.

21 Yi Jiao Li Huang Wan——(Fang Yi Jiao Mu Zhi Da Huang)——Expels water qi from the intestines, facilitating elimination through urination.

22 Sheng Ma Bie Jia Tang——(Sheng Ma Bie Gui Cao, Xiong Huang Shu Jiao)Has the effect of expelling evil from the blood and releasing it outward.

23 Tian Xiong San——(Tian Xiong 9, Bai Zhu 24, Gui Zhi 18, Long Gu 9)Treats yang deficiency with unstable nocturnal emissions.

24 Mu Fang Yi Tang——(Mu Fang Yi Shi Gao Gui Zhi Ren Shen)Promotes water circulation and disperses masses, as the body is weak with hidden heat, hence Ren Shen and Shi Gao are used as assistants.

25 Mu Fang Yi Qu Shi Gao plus Fu Ling Mang Nao Tang——Also has a mild purgative and softening effect.

(If there is water retention in the diaphragm, causing wheezing and fullness, with a firm and hard abdomen, dark complexion, and a tight pulse, if this condition persists for several days, and the physician’s purging does not resolve it, Mu Fang Yi Tang is indicated. If deficient, it will resolve; if excessive, it will recur in three days, and for those who do not recover, Mu Fang Yi Tang without Shi Gao plus Fu Ling Mang Nao Tang is indicated.)

26 Gan Cao Gan Jiang Tang——A method to warm and nourish the lungs and stomach. (For those with lung atrophy who vomit saliva without coughing, and do not feel thirsty, but have frequent urination, this is due to deficiency failing to control the lower. This indicates cold in the lungs, leading to dizziness and excessive salivation; Gan Cao Gan Jiang Tang warms it. If after taking the soup one feels thirsty, they should be cautioned against thirst.)

27 Gan Cao Fu Zi Tang(Cao 6, Fu 2, Bai Zhu 6, Gui 12)——Expels wind and dampness, harmonizes the nutrients and defenses, with astringent and dispersing effects. (For wind-dampness causing joint pain, with difficulty in flexing and extending, severe pain upon touch, sweating, shortness of breath, and difficulty urinating, with aversion to wind and reluctance to remove clothing, or slight swelling, Gan Cao Fu Zi Tang is indicated.)

28 Gan Cao Ma Huang Tang(Cao 2, Ma 4)——Zhong Jing treats skin water; for exterior deficiency, use Fang Yi Fu Ling Tang; for exterior excess with heat, use Yue Bi plus Shu Tang; for exterior cold with dampness, use Ma Huang plus Shu Tang; for exterior excess without heat, use this formula, aimed at inducing sweating and eliminating dampness.

29 Gan Cao Xie Xin Tang——For damp-heat lingering in the stomach, with weak stomach qi, this is a spicy, bitter, sweet, and mild combination, not limited to Hu Huo disease.

30 Gan Mai Da Zao Tang——Nourishes the stomach and moistens dryness, non-irritating, most suitable for weak and sensitive patients.

31 Ban Xia Ma Huang Wan——Zhong Jing treats palpitations, actually addressing water retention; it is stronger than Xiao Ban Xia plus Fu Ling Tang in treating fullness in the heart, likely because the former involves vomiting, while this involves wheezing, hence the same method of transforming phlegm but with different herbs.

32 Bai Zhu San(Zhu Xiong Shu Li)——A warming formula, Zhong Jing used it for nourishing the fetus, contrasting with Dang Gui San, one warming and one clearing; do not use for those without cold-dampness.

33 Dang Gui San——(Dang 2, Zhu 1, Xiong 2, Shao 2, Qin 2)——A method to nourish blood and clear heat. Although Zhong Jing stated it can be taken during pregnancy, later generations have used Huang Qin and Bai Zhu as sacred medicines for stabilizing pregnancy, but it is not suitable for those with deficiency and cold.

34 Dang Gui Sheng Jiang Yang Rou Tang——Treats blood deficiency with cold. Used for cold hernia and postpartum abdominal pain, due to similar reasons.

35 Dang Gui Shao Yao San——(Gui 9, Shao 50, Xiong 24, Zhu 12, Ling 12, Xie 24)——A method to harmonize the liver and strengthen the spleen, later resembling the Xiao Yao San composition.

37 Bai He Zhi Mu Tang——A clearing and moistening formula, treats Bai He disease with mistaken sweating leading to dryness.

38 Bai He Di Huang Tang——Clears heat and nourishes blood, should be the main formula for Bai He disease.

40 Bai He Ji Zi Huang Tang——Emphasizes calming the interior and harmonizing.

41 Hua Shi Dai Zhe Tang——(Hua Shi 9, Dai Zhe 9, Bai He 30),Treats Bai He disease with mistaken purging, implying a guiding effect.

42 Zhu Pi Da Wan——(Zhu Ru Shi Gao Bai Wei Gan Cao Gui Zhi)This formula primarily clears heat and eliminates vexation, with the addition of Gui Zhi possibly addressing other symptoms.

43 Chi Xiao Dou Dang Gui San——Zhong Jing used it for Hu Huo disease, also applicable for near-blood conditions, aimed at clearing damp-heat from the large intestine, with a purging effect.

44 Fang Yi Di Huang Tang——(Fang Yi 3, Fang Feng 9, Sheng Di 60, Gui Zhi 9, Gan Cao 3)——Xu Ling Tai stated, “This formula has light herbs, but Sheng Di is heavy, thus treating wind in the blood.”

45 Fang Yi Huang Qi Tang——(Zhu Gan Jiang Zao)——Mainly treats water dampness on the surface, with weak defensive qi. (For wind-dampness, floating pulse, heavy body, sweating, and aversion to wind, Fang Yi Huang Qi Tang is indicated.)

46 Fang Yi Fu Ling Tang——(Fang Qi Ling Zhi Cao)Also assists the defensive yang in promoting water, stronger than Fang Yi Huang Qi Tang.

47 Fu Zi Geng Mi Tang——(Fu Zi 9, Ban Xia 9, Gan Cao 3, Da Zao 3, Geng Mi 15)——Treats deficiency-cold abdominal pain; Wang Xu Gao believes adding Fu Zi to spleen and stomach herbs has the power to penetrate up and down. It can disperse cold and stop vomiting above, and warm the meridians and settle pain below. (For cold qi in the abdomen, causing thunder-like pain, chest and flank fullness, vomiting, Fu Zi Geng Mi Tang is indicated.)

48 Da Cheng Qi Tang(Da Huang Hou Po Zhi Shi Mang Xiao)——Main formula for excess conditions in the stomach, also used for food stagnation and diarrhea due to food retention. It is also used for spasms, purging excess heat to preserve body fluids. This is a method of cutting off the root, not truly calming spasms.

49 Xiao Cheng Qi Tang(Da Huang Hou Po Zhi Shi)——Mainly treats excess conditions in the stomach. For severe fullness, dryness, and hard excess, use Da Cheng Qi Tang; if not complete, use this formula.

50 Hou Po San Wu Tang(Da Huang Hou Po Zhi Shi),a variation of Xiao Cheng Qi Tang with different dosages. The purpose of Cheng Qi is to clear excess, hence the heavy use of Da Huang; this is for moving qi, hence the heavy use of Hou Po. (For pain and obstruction, Hou Po San Wu Tang is indicated.)

51 Hou Po Da Huang Tang——(Da Huang Hou Po Zhi Shi). Also a variation of Xiao Cheng Qi Tang, aimed at moving qi and eliminating phlegm, must be used for excess conditions in the stomach. (For phlegm retention causing chest fullness, Hou Po Da Huang Tang is indicated.)

52 Ting Li Da Zao Tang——For phlegm retention causing inability to breathe, Ting Li Da Zao Tang is indicated.

53 Hou Po Qi Wu Tang——(Da Huang 9, Hou Po 24, Zhi Shi 12, Gui Zhi 6, Gan Cao 9, Sheng Jiang 15, Da Zao 3). This is a combination of Xiao Cheng Qi Tang and Gui Zhi plus Shao Tang, a method to resolve both exterior and interior, but with interior symptoms heavier than exterior symptoms. (For abdominal fullness, fever lasting ten days, floating and rapid pulse, normal appetite, Hou Po Qi Wu Tang is indicated.)

54 Ling Gui Zhu Gan Tang——Treats phlegm retention, should use warming herbs to harmonize; this formula is indeed the main one, but its strength is mild, suitable only for light cases or for prevention and post-illness recovery. (For phlegm retention in the heart, fullness in the chest and flanks, dizziness, Ling Gui Zhu Gan Tang is indicated.)

55 Ling Gui Wu Wei Jiang Xin Tang——Reinforces the warming and transforming of phlegm, used for those without external symptoms. This is stronger than Ling Gui Zhu Gan Tang.

56 Ling Gui Gan Zao Tang——Treats cold water qi rising, differing from Gui Zhi plus Gui Tang, which emphasizes external cold. (After sweating, if there is palpitations below the navel, Ling Gui Gan Zao Tang is indicated.)

57 Ben Tun Tang(Dang Xiong Xia Ge Gan Shao Jiang Li Gen Pi)——Dissolves cold and heat, lowering rebellious qi. The difference in treatment for yang deficiency with cold qi rising is that one emphasizes the liver, while the other emphasizes the kidneys. The two are entirely different. (For rebellious qi rising to the chest, abdominal pain, alternating cold and heat, Ben Tun Tang is indicated.)

58 Ling Gui Wei Gan Tang——Focuses on stopping rebellious qi. (If the pulse is deep and tight, with a weak pulse at the wrist, and qi rises from the lower abdomen to the chest, with cold extremities, Ling Gui Wei Gan Tang is indicated.)

59 Ling Gan Wu Wei Jiang Xin Tang——Warms and transforms phlegm, used for those without external symptoms; this is stronger than Ling Gui Zhu Gan Tang. (If rebellious qi rises, causing coughing and fullness in the chest, use Ling Gui Wei Tang without Gui, adding Gan Jiang and Xi Xin.)

60 Ling Gan Wu Wei Jiang Xin plus Ban Xia Xing Ren Tang——(Coughing fullness stops, but thirst increases; if rebellious qi rises, use Xi Xin and Gan Jiang as warming herbs. If after taking it one feels thirsty, it indicates phlegm retention. For phlegm retention, the method should be to induce vomiting; if vomiting occurs, use Ban Xia again to eliminate the water. If water retention causes vomiting, and the person is swollen, add Xing Ren to address it.)

61 Fu Ling Ze Xie Tang(Fu Ling 16, Gui 4, Zhu 9, Gan 4, Jiang 8, Ze 8)——Similar in nature to Wu Ling San. Wu Ling focuses on promoting urination, while this focuses on vomiting as the main symptom. (If the stomach reacts, vomiting and thirst for water, Fu Ling Ze Xie Tang is indicated.)

62 Fu Ling Rong Yan Tang——Fu Ling, Bai Zhu, Yan Rong (Qing Yan). This formula treats lack of thirst and difficulty urinating.

67 Gua Lou Qu Mai Tang——(Gua Lou Gen 6, Qu Mai 3, Shan Yao 9, Fu Ling 9, Fu Zi 6)Mainly generates fluids and promotes urination, with Fu Zi added to assist qi transformation.

67 Gua Lou Mu Li San——(Gua Lou Gen, Mu Li)Generates fluids and stops thirst, guiding heat downward, likely the main formula for Bai He disease with thirst.

68 Gua Lou Xie Bai Bai Jiu Tang——As described by Ye Tian Shi, this is a pungent and smooth method to open the yang, the main formula for chest obstruction.
