黄柏(盐酒炒) 知母(盐水炒)四两 熟地(酒蒸) 败龟板(酥炙)六两
猪脊髓和蜜丸。
此治阴火炽盛,以致厥逆者则可,至内伤虚热,则断不可用。
黄柏(酒炒)二两 知母(酒炒)一两 肉桂一钱
蜜丸。
坎之为象,一阳居二阴之中,故真阳奠安而不妄动。肾水大亏,不能制火,飞龙上亢,
故喘急而小便秘。此方用知、柏以象二阴,用肉桂以象一阳,仍取坎卦之义,以通生化之原。
意义极精,非寻常导龙归海法也。
鹿角胶 鹿角霜 菟丝子 柏子仁 熟地黄
等分为末,酒化胶为丸。一方加补骨脂,一方加鹿茸、肉苁蓉、阳起石、附子、黄 、
当归、枣仁、辰砂。
鹿角、菟丝,阴中之阳也,地黄阴中之阴也,用以补肾,不偏不倚。若加入阳起石、辰
砂等燥烈之品,则劫阴耗气,全失立方之旨矣。
鹿角十斤 龟板五斤 枸杞二斤 人参一斤
先将鹿角龟板锯截、刮净、水浸、桑火熬炼成胶;再将人参、枸杞熬膏和入,每晨酒服
三钱。
峻补气血,不寒不燥,又能益髓固精,诚补方中最妙者也。
石硫黄一斤 猪大肠二尺
将硫黄为末实猪肠中,煮烂三时,取出去皮,蒸饼为丸如梧子大。每服十丸。
硫黄一味,道家尊之为金液,盖以硫黄为火之精,其性纯阳。《丹经》云∶阴气一分不
尽不仙,故学仙者欲绝阴以归纯阳,必炼绝阴丹服之,以破除阴气。此道家烧炼之方,非寻
常可用之药。尝见士大夫功成名就,妄想长生,烧炼硫黄、辰砂等物,按时服食。乃服之日
久,无不腹胀面青,肠胃崩裂而死,可不戒哉!若寒疫阴厥,猝急之时,当病投之,功效大
而且
黄柏(用盐和酒炒制) 知母(用盐水炒制)各四两,熟地黄(用酒蒸制),败龟板(用酥油炙烤)各六两。
将猪脊髓与蜂蜜混合制成丸药。
此方适用于治疗因阴火炽盛导致的四肢厥冷症状,但对于内伤引起的虚热证,则绝对不可使用。
黄柏(用酒炒制)二两,知母(用酒炒制)一两,肉桂一钱。
制成蜜丸。
坎卦的卦象是一阳爻居于两个阴爻之间,因此真阳得以安定而不妄动。当肾水严重亏损,无法制约相火时,龙雷之火上亢,导致气喘急促且小便不通畅。此方使用知母、黄柏来象征两个阴爻,使用肉桂来象征一个阳爻,依然取法坎卦的含义,以疏通化生之源。其立意极为精妙,并非寻常的“导龙归海”治法。
鹿角胶,鹿角霜,菟丝子,柏子仁,熟地黄。
各等分研为细末,用酒溶化鹿角胶后制成丸药。另一配方加入补骨脂;还有一方加入鹿茸、肉苁蓉、阳起石、附子、干姜、当归、酸枣仁、朱砂。
鹿角和菟丝子属于阴中之阳,熟地黄属于阴中之阴,用来补肾,不偏不倚。如果加入阳起石、朱砂等燥烈性质的药物,则会劫夺阴液、耗损正气,完全失去了设立此方的宗旨。
鹿角十斤,龟板五斤,枸杞子二斤,人参一斤。
先将鹿角和龟板锯截、刮洗干净、用水浸泡、用桑木火熬炼成胶;再将人参和枸杞熬成膏状并混合其中,每天早晨用酒送服三钱。
峻补气血,性质不寒也不燥,又能益髓固精,确实是补益方剂中最精妙的方子。
石硫黄一斤,猪大肠二尺。
将硫黄研为细末填入猪肠中,煮烂三个时辰,取出后去掉外皮,用蒸饼粉制成如梧桐子大小的丸药。每次服用十丸。
单味硫黄,道家尊称为“金液”,因为硫黄是火的精华,其性质纯阳。《丹经》说:“阴气一分未尽不能成仙”,所以修道者想要断绝阴气回归纯阳,必须炼制“绝阴丹”服用,以破除阴气。这是道家烧炼的方子,不是普通人可以随意使用的药物。我曾见过士大夫功成名就后,妄想长生不老,烧炼硫黄、朱砂等物,按时服用。然而服药日久,无不出现腹胀面青、肠胃崩裂而死的后果,怎能不引以为戒呢?如果是寒疫导致的阴厥,在病情猝急之时,应当投以此药,功效巨大而且……
Huangbai (Salt and Wine Fried) (Phellodendri Cortex, prepared with salt and wine), Zhimu (Salt Water Fried) (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma, prepared with salt water), each four liang; Shudi (Wine Steamed) (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata); Baiguiban (Su Roasted) (Testudinis et Carapacis et Plastrum, roasted with suet), each six liang.
Mix with pig spinal cord and honey to make pills.
This formula is suitable for treating cold extremities caused by blazing Yin fire, but it must absolutely not be used for deficiency heat resulting from internal injury.
Huangbai (Wine Fried) (Phellodendri Cortex, fried with wine), two liang; Zhimu (Wine Fried) (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma, fried with wine), one liang; Rougui (Cinnamomi Cortex), one qian.
Make honey pills.
The image of the Kan trigram consists of one Yang line residing between two Yin lines, thus ensuring that True Yang remains settled and does not move recklessly. When Kidney Water is severely deficient and unable to control Fire, the Dragon Fire surges upward, causing panting and difficulty in urination. This formula uses Zhimu and Huangbai to symbolize the two Yin lines, and Rougui to symbolize the one Yang line, still drawing upon the meaning of the Kan trigram to unblock the source of transformation and generation. Its significance is extremely refined; it is not an ordinary method of "guiding the dragon back to the sea."
Lujiao Jiao (Deer Antler Glue), Lujiao Shuang (Deer Antler Frost), Tusizi (Cuscutae Semen), Baiziren (Biota Seed), Shudi (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata).
Grind into equal parts powder, dissolve the glue in wine to make pills. Another prescription adds Buguzhi (Psoraleae Fructus); yet another adds Lurong (Deer Antler Cornu Cum Blood), Rongzhu (Cistanches Herba), Yangqishi (Leucogypsum Fibrosum), Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata), Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Zaoren (Ziziphi Spinosae Semen), and Chensha (Cinnabar).
Deer antler and Cuscuta are Yang within Yin, while Rehmannia is Yin within Yin; they are used to tonify the Kidney without bias. If燥烈 (drying and hot) substances like Yangqishi and Chensha are added, they will plunder Yin fluids and consume Qi, completely losing the original intent of the prescription.
Lujiao (Deer Antler), ten jin; Guiban (Turtle Shell), five jin; Gouqi (Lycii Fructus), two jin; Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), one jin.
First, saw and scrape clean the deer antler and turtle shell, soak in water, and boil over mulberry wood fire until they become glue; then boil Ginseng and Lycium fruit into a paste and mix them in. Take three qian orally every morning with wine.
It powerfully tonifies Qi and Blood, is neither cold nor drying, and can also benefit marrow and secure essence. It is truly the most exquisite among tonifying formulas.
Shiliuhuang (Mineral Sulfur), one jin; Zhu Dachang (Porcine Intestinum Crassum), two chi.
Grind sulfur into powder, fill it into the pig intestine, boil until soft for three shichen (6 hours), remove, peel off the intestine skin, and mix with steamed bread dough to make pills the size of a Chinese quince seed. Take ten pills per dose.
Sulfur alone is revered by Daoists as "Golden Liquid" because sulfur is the essence of fire and its nature is purely Yang. The *Dan Jing* states: "If even a fraction of Yin energy remains, one cannot become an immortal." Therefore, practitioners seeking to eliminate Yin and return to pure Yang must refine and take the "Yin-Eliminating Pill" to break down Yin energy. This is a Daoist alchemical formula, not a medicine for ordinary use. I have seen scholars who, having achieved success, deludedly sought immortality by refining and consuming sulfur and cinnabar at scheduled times. However, after long-term consumption, none escaped bloating, cyanotic face, bursting intestines, and death. How can one not beware? In cases of cold epidemic causing Yin collapse during sudden emergency, this medicine should be administered, yielding great efficacy...
