Based on the Principles of Key Information Textual Research on Ancient Classic Formulas, this study employs bibliometric methods to systematically organize and verify key information regarding the historical origin, composition, origin and processing, dosage and decoction methods, as well as efficacy and indications of Shensu Yin. The research concludes that Shensu Yin originated from the Taiping Huimin Hejiju Fang of the Song Dynasty, with a consistent name throughout history and a clear lineage. In later generations, the formula was often modified based on syndrome differentiation. It is primarily indicated for external contraction due to qi deficiency accompanied by phlegm stagnation. The origins of all medicinal ingredients in the formula are consistent with the 2020 Edition of the Pharmacopoeia of the People's Republic of China. Except for Jiang Banxia (processed Pinellia), Fu Chao Zhiqiao (stir-fried with bran Fructus Aurantii), Bai Chen Pi (Citrus reticulata with the white part removed), and Zhi Gancao (honey-fried Glycyrrhiza), the other herbs are used in their raw form. Based on the measurement standards of the Song Dynasty and modern dosage conversion, the formula consists of Perilla Leaf, Gegen (Pueraria lobata), Banxia (Pinellia), Qianhu (Peucedanum), Renshen (Ginseng), and Fuling (Poria) at 30.96 g each, and Muxiang (Aucklandia), Zhiqiao (Fructus Aurantii), Jiegeng (Platycodon), Gancao (Glycyrrhiza), and Chenpi (Citrus reticulata) at 20.65 g each. These ingredients are ground into powder. Each serving consists of 16.52 g of the powder, decocted with 450 ml of water, seven slices of ginger, and one jujube, boiled down to 270 ml, after which the residues are filtered out. Shensu Yin is indicated for replenishing qi and releasing the exterior, regulating qi and resolving phlegm. It is mainly used for external contraction due to qi deficiency with internal obstruction of phlegm dampness. In ancient times, it was commonly used for body weakness complicated by colds and phlegm-cough syndrome. In modern clinical practice, it is frequently used for respiratory diseases, pediatric disorders, and gynecological conditions characterized by qi deficiency with external contraction. Through a systematic review of relevant ancient texts and an examination of key information regarding Shensu Yin, this study aims to provide reliable documentary support for its modern development and clinical application.
