湿痹者，症似痉候，其脉沉细，关节疼痛，而觉烦闷者是也。此因雾露所伤，湿气
存于腠理，故觉疼痛。因寒极生热则烦，湿气不散则闷，更有大便快而小便闭，舌有白
苔，是因湿气下行故泻，阴阳不分故闭，丹田有热，胸中有寒，湿热熏蒸，故有白苔
耳，治宜利其小便，以宣泄腹中湿气。若误下之，则额上汗出，微喘发哕而死。
抱者，保也。龙者，肝也。肝应东方青龙木，木生火，谓生我者，父母也。肝为
母，心为子，母安则子安，盖心藏神，肝藏魂，神魄既定，惊从何生？故曰∶抱龙丸。

治风痰涌盛，呕吐涎沫，口眼 斜，手足瘫痪，小儿惊风，及痰盛泄泻。
白附子（生用） 南星（生用，二两） 半夏（水浸，生衣，生用，七两） 川乌（去
皮、脐，生用，五钱） 为末，绢袋盛之，水摆出粉，以尽为度，贮瓷盆，日暴夜露，
春五夏三，秋七冬十日，晒干，糯米糊丸，绿豆大，每服二十丸，姜汤下；瘫痪酒下；
惊风薄荷汤下，三五丸。
此足厥阴太阴药也。痰之生也，由风由寒由湿，故用半夏。南星之辛温，以燥湿散
寒，川乌、白附之辛热，以温经逐风。浸而暴之者，杀其毒也。（此治风痰之上药也。
然热痰迷窍，非其所宜。）
湿痹，症状类似痉病（以项背强直、四肢抽搐为主要表现的病证），脉象沉细，关节疼痛且伴有烦闷感。这是因为受到雾露之邪侵袭，湿气停留在腠理（皮肤肌肉的纹理及间隙）之间，所以感到疼痛。因为寒气极盛而生热则导致烦躁，湿气不散则导致闷塞。更有大便通畅而小便闭塞的情况，舌苔白，这是因为湿气下行导致腹泻，阴阳之气不分离导致小便闭阻，丹田有热，胸中有寒，湿热熏蒸，所以出现白苔。治疗应当通利小便，以宣泄腹中的湿气。如果误用攻下法，会导致额头出汗，轻微气喘并发生呃逆而死。
“抱”意为保护，“龙”指肝。肝对应东方的青龙木，木生火，所谓生我者为父母。肝为母，心为子，母亲安宁则儿子安宁，大概是因为心藏神，肝藏魂，神魂安定后，惊悸从何产生？所以说：抱龙丸。琥珀、人参、天竺黄、檀香、茯苓（各一两五钱）、炙甘草（去节，三两）、枳壳（炒制）、枳实（炒制，各二两）、辰砂（五两）、山药（炒制，一斤）、牛胆南星（一两）、金箔（一百片）。研成细末，取新汲水泛丸，如龙眼核大小，阴干。用葱白汤或薄荷汤送服。如果痰壅盛咳嗽严重，用生姜汤送服。心悸不安，用灯心草汤加珍珠末送服。
牙皂、细辛、川芎、白芷、踯躅花研成细末，用灯心草蘸药粉点入鼻内，以打出喷嚏为有效标志，药物忌讳用火焙干。
治疗风痰涌盛，呕吐涎沫，口眼歪斜，手足瘫痪，小儿惊风，以及痰盛导致的泄泻。白附子（生用）、南星（生用，二两）、半夏（用水浸泡，保留生皮，生用，七两）、川乌（去皮、脐，生用，五钱）。研成细末，用绢袋装好，在水中摆动洗出淀粉，直到洗尽为止，储存在瓷盆中，白天暴晒晚上露置，春季五天夏季三天秋季七天冬季十天，晒干，用糯米糊制成丸剂，如绿豆大小。每次服用二十丸，姜汤送服；治疗瘫痪用酒送服；治疗惊风用薄荷汤送服，每次三到五丸。这是足厥阴肝经和足太阴脾经的药物。痰的产生，源于风、寒、湿，所以使用半夏。南星的辛温性质，用来燥湿散寒；川乌、白附子的辛热性质，用来温经祛风。经过浸泡和暴晒处理，是为了消除其毒性。（这是治疗风痰的上等药物。然而对于热痰迷窍的情况，并不适宜。）
Bi syndrome due to dampness presents with symptoms resembling Jing syndrome (a condition characterized by stiffness of the neck and back, and spasms of the limbs), a deep and fine pulse, pain in the joints, and a sensation of irritability and oppression. This is caused by injury from fog and dew, where dampness remains in the Cou Li (the spaces between skin and muscle), causing pain. Extreme cold generating heat leads to irritability, while unresolved dampness causes oppression. There may also be free stool but closed urination, and a white coating on the tongue; this occurs because dampness descends leading to diarrhea, and the failure of Yin and Yang to separate leads to urinary retention. With heat in the Dantian and cold in the chest, damp-heat steaming causes the white coating. Treatment should focus on promoting diuresis to drain dampness from the abdomen. If mistakenly treated with purgatives, it will result in sweating on the forehead, slight wheezing, hiccups, and death.
"Bao" means to protect; "Long" refers to the Liver. The Liver corresponds to the Azure Dragon of the East and Wood element. Wood generates Fire; what generates me is considered my parent. The Liver is the mother, and the Heart is the child. When the mother is peaceful, the child is peaceful. This is because the Heart houses the Shen (Spirit) and the Liver houses the Hun (Ethereal Soul). Once the Shen and Po (Corporeal Soul) are settled, from where would fright arise? Hence the name: Bao Long Wan (Embracing Dragon Pill). Hu Po (Amber), Ren Shen (Ginseng Root), Tian Zhu Huang (Bamboo Calculus), Tan Xiang (Sandalwood), Fu Ling (Poria), each 1 liang 5 qian; Zhi Gan Cao (Honey-fried Licorice Root, nodes removed), 3 liang; Zhi Qiao (Stir-baked Aurantium Fructus); Zhi Shi (Stir-baked Immature Bitter Orange Fruit), each 2 liang; Chen Sha (Cinnabar), 5 liang; Shan Yao (Stir-baked Dioscoreae Rhizoma), 1 jin; Niu Dan Nan Xing (Arisaema Cum Bile), 1 liang; Jin Bo (Gold Leaf), 100 pieces. Grind into powder, use fresh well water to make pills the size of longan seeds, dry in shade. Administer with Scallion White Decoction or Mint Decoction. For severe phlegm obstruction and cough, administer with Ginger Decoction. For palpitations and restlessness, administer with Juncus Decoction plus Pearl Powder.
Ya Zao (Gleditsiae Sinensis Spina), Xi Xin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma), Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum Chuanxiong Rhizome), Bai Zhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix), Zhi Zhu Hua (Daphne Odora Flower) are ground into powder. Dip a Juncus stalk into the powder and apply inside the nose; sneezing indicates efficacy. The medicine must not be dried by fire.
Treats surging wind-phlegm, vomiting of saliva and foam, deviation of the mouth and eyes, paralysis of the limbs, pediatric Jing Feng (infantile convulsion), and diarrhea due to excessive phlegm. Bai Fu Zi (Typhonii Rhizoma, raw), Nan Xing (Arisaematis Rhizoma, raw, 2 liang), Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma, soaked in water, raw with skin, 7 liang), Chuan Wu (Aconiti Radix, peeled and navel removed, raw, 5 qian). Grind into powder, place in a silk bag, shake in water to extract starch until exhausted. Store in a porcelain basin, sun-dry during the day and expose to night dew: 5 days in spring, 3 in summer, 7 in autumn, 10 in winter. Dry thoroughly, bind with rice paste into pills the size of mung beans. Take 20 pills per dose with Ginger Decoction; for paralysis, take with wine; for Jing Feng, take with Mint Decoction, 3 to 5 pills. These are herbs acting on the Foot Jueyin (Liver) and Foot Taiyin (Spleen) meridians. Phlegm arises from wind, cold, and dampness, hence Ban Xia is used. The acrid-warm nature of Nan Xing dries dampness and disperses cold; the acrid-hot nature of Chuan Wu and Bai Fu Zi warms the channels and expels wind. Soaking and sun-drying serves to reduce their toxicity. (This is a superior remedy for wind-phlegm. However, it is not suitable for heat-phlegm confusing the orifices.)
