The Huangqi Fushen Decoction（黄芪茯神汤） was a prescription designed by CHEN Wuze in Treatise on Diseases,Patterns,and Prescriptions Related to Unification of the Three Etiologies,which is for disease caused by insufficient fire element in Six Gui years. In the Six Gui years,the fire element is insufficient,resulting in a Yunqi configuration of deficiency of yang qi,insufficient ascending and scattering,depression and obstruction of cold water,and excessive dampness and earth. For this Yunqi configuration,the Huangqi Fushen Decoction takes elevating yang and tonifying fire as the overall treatment approach,while also taking into account methods such as strengthening the spleen and eliminating dampness,promoting yang and relieving depression,and tonifying essence and assisting yang. In this way,by using sweet and warm medicinal herbs to invigorate the yang qi,make the yang qi spread and reach everywhere,exert the warming and promoting functions,and thereby restore the orderly movement of yin,yang,qi,and blood. The exploration of the formulation ideas and compatibility principle of other Yunqi formulas based on the Huangqi Fushen Decoction is conducive to improving the pertinence and effectiveness of the clinical application of Yunqi formulas.
