当于《神农本草》中细细审辨，诸方尽然，不复一一俱载。
【猪肤汤】
猪肤（一斤）：取这一味药，用水一斗，煮至剩余五升，滤去药渣，加入白蜜一升、白粉五合（应当是米粉）。将米粉炒香后与药液调和均匀，分六次温服。
少阴病，出现下利、咽喉疼痛、胸部胀满、心烦等症状的，这是中焦气虚，阴火上炎的表现。用猪肤汤主治。利用甘味和咸味来收敛浮火。
【甘草汤】
甘草（二两）：取这一味药，用水三升，煮至剩余一升半，滤去药渣，每次温服七合，每日服用两次。
【桔梗汤】
桔梗（一两）、甘草（二两）：取这两味药，用水三升，煮至剩余一升，滤去药渣，分两次温服。
少阴病，发病两三天后，出现咽喉疼痛的，可以给予甘草汤。甘味是土的正味，能够制约肾水上越之火。
如果服药后症状未愈，给予桔梗汤。佐以辛苦开散的药材，《神农本草经·别录》记载其能治疗咽喉痛。
【苦酒汤】
半夏（十四枚，洗净，破开如枣核大小）、鸡蛋（一枚，去掉蛋黄，放入苦酒，置于蛋壳中）：取这两味药，将半夏放入苦酒中，把装有药液的蛋壳放在刀环上，置于火上，煮沸三次。这种煮法必有深意，怀疑就是古代所说的禁方。滤去药渣，少量含咽。如果未愈，再制作三剂。
少阴病，咽喉受伤生疮（怀疑即阴火喉癣之类），不能说话，声音发不出来的，用苦酒汤主治。咽喉中生疮，这必然是病情迁延日久，咽喉被火邪熏蒸腐蚀所致。此症非普通汤剂所能治愈，使用此药既能收敛降气，又兼具内治与外治之法。
【乌梅丸】
乌梅（三百枚）、细辛（六两）、干姜（十两）、当归（四两）、黄连（一斤）、附子（六枚，炮制去皮）、蜀椒（四两，出汗处理）、桂枝（六两，去皮）、人参（六两）、黄柏（六两）：以上十味药，分别捣碎过筛，混合处理。用苦酒浸泡乌梅一夜。取出乌梅去核，在五斗米下蒸熟，饭熟后将乌梅捣成泥状，与药物混合均匀，放入臼中，加蜂蜜杵打两千下，制成梧桐子大小的丸药。饭前饮服十丸，每日三次，逐渐增加至二十丸。禁忌生冷、滑腻食物及腐臭食物等。
伤寒病，脉象微细且四肢厥冷，到了七八天皮肤也变冷的，是阳气不能卫外。其人烦躁没有片刻安宁的时候，这是脏厥，此症难以治愈。这不是蛔厥。
蛔厥的患者，应当有吐蛔虫的现象。现在病人安静时却又时常心烦，这是因为内脏寒冷，蛔虫上行进入膈部，所以心烦，过了一会儿又停止。进食后呕吐并再次心烦的，是因为蛔虫闻到食物的气味而出动，这类人经常自行吐出蛔虫。蛔厥者，用乌梅丸主治。乌梅丸又主治久痢。这是治疗久痢的圣方。至于它能治疗蛔虫症，各种药物的药性，应当在《神农本草经》中仔细辨别，其他方剂也是如此，不再一一列举。
[Pig Skin Decoction]
Zhu Fu (Pig Skin, 1 jin): Take this single ingredient, boil in 10 dou of water until reduced to 5 sheng, remove the dregs, add 1 sheng of white honey and 5 he of Bai Fen (likely rice flour). Stir-fry the rice flour until fragrant, mix well with the decoction, and take warm, divided into six doses.
In Shaoyin disease, presenting with diarrhea, sore throat, chest fullness, and irritability, this is a syndrome of deficiency of Qi in the Middle Jiao with Yin Fire flaming upward. Zhu Fu Tang (Pig Skin Decoction) is the primary formula. It uses sweet and salty flavors to anchor floating fire.
[Gan Cao Decoction]
Gan Cao (Licorice Root, 2 liang): Take this single ingredient, boil in 3 sheng of water until reduced to 1.5 sheng, remove the dregs, take 7 he warm per dose, twice daily.
[Jie Geng Decoction]
Jie Geng (Platycodon Root, 1 liang), Gan Cao (Licorice Root, 2 liang): Take these two ingredients, boil in 3 sheng of water until reduced to 1 sheng, remove the dregs, take warm, divided into two doses.
In Shaoyin disease, if sore throat occurs after two or three days, Gan Cao Tang (Licorice Decoction) may be administered. The sweet flavor is the true taste of Earth, capable of restraining the fire of Kidney Water that overflows upward.
If the condition does not improve, administer Jie Geng Tang (Platycodon Decoction). This supplements with bitter and acrid agents that open and disperse; *Bencao Jing Bie Lu* records its efficacy in treating sore throat.
[Ku Jiu Decoction]
Ban Xia (Pinellia Tuber, 14 pieces, washed and broken like jujube pits), Ji Zi (Chicken Egg, 1 piece, yolk removed, Ku Jiu added into the shell): Take these two ingredients, place Ban Xia in Ku Jiu (vinegar), set the eggshell containing the mixture in a knife ring, place over fire, and bring to three boils. This method of decoction likely holds profound meaning, suspected to be an ancient secret prescription. Remove dregs, hold in mouth and swallow slowly. If not cured, prepare three more doses.
In Shaoyin disease, if the throat is injured and sores form (suspected to be similar to Yin Fire laryngeal ulcers), and the patient cannot speak or produce sound, Ku Jiu Tang (Vinegar Decoction) is indicated. Sores forming in the throat result from prolonged illness where the throat is steamed and corroded by fire pathogens. This condition cannot be treated by ordinary decoctions; this medication acts to astringe and descend Qi, combining internal treatment with external application.
[Wumei Pill]
Wumei (Mume Fruit, 300 pieces), Xixin (Asarum Root, 6 liang), Jiangjiang (Dried Ginger, 10 liang), Danggui (Angelica Sinensis, 4 liang), Huanglian (Coptis Rhizome, 1 jin), Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root, 6 pieces, processed and peeled), Shujiao (Sichuan Pepper, 4 liang, "sweated"), Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig, 6 liang, peeled), Renshen (Ginseng Root, 6 liang), Huangbai (Phellodendron Bark, 6 liang): Process the above ten ingredients separately by pounding and sieving, then combine. Soak Wumei in Ku Jiu (vinegar) overnight. Remove pits, steam over 5 dou of rice until cooked. Pound the fruit into a paste, mix thoroughly with the other medicines, place in a mortar, add honey, and pound for two thousand strikes to form pills the size of paulownia seeds. Take 10 pills before meals with warm water, three times daily, gradually increasing to 20 pills. Avoid cold, raw, slippery, and spoiled foods.
In Shanghan (Cold Damage) disease, if the pulse is faint and there is cold extremities, progressing to cold skin on the seventh or eighth day, this indicates Yang Qi failing to guard the exterior. If the patient is restless without any moment of peace, this is Zang Jue (Organ Cold Reversal), which is difficult to treat. This is not Hui Jue (Roundworm Reversal).
Patients with Hui Jue typically vomit roundworms. In this case, the patient is quiet but experiences intermittent irritability due to Cold in the Zang organs causing roundworms to ascend into the Diaphragm. The irritability ceases shortly. Vomiting and renewed irritability after eating occur because roundworms are attracted by the odor of food, leading to spontaneous vomiting of roundworms. For Hui Jue, Wumei Wan (Mume Pill) is the primary formula. It also treats chronic dysentery. This is a sacred formula for treating chronic dysentery. Regarding its efficacy against roundworms, the properties of the various herbs should be carefully examined in *Shennong Bencao Jing* (Divine Farmer's Materia Medica); this applies to all formulas, so they are not listed individually here.
