Secretly Transmitted Qi-Descending Decoction，*Formulae of the Imperial Bureau*, Volume 3 (New Formulas Added in the Baoqing Era).，This formula treats conditions in both men and women characterized by heat above and deficiency below. These conditions arise from excessive eating and drinking, which injure the spleen and stomach; unrestrained indulgence in alcohol and sexual activity, which deplete kidney essence; and the conflicting forces of water and earth, leading to a blockage between yin and yang. Consequently, qi fails to rise and fall properly. When heat accumulates above, it causes dizziness and blurred vision, phlegm-induced vomiting, chest and diaphragm discomfort, a dry throat, and a loss of appetite;weakness in the lower body manifests as weakness in the lower back and legs, hard, dry stools, tenesmus, and cold pain in the navel and abdomen; treatment with cooling agents alone will weaken the spleen qi, leading to intestinal rumbling and loose stools.
