三月和八月,蛟龙的幼体生长在芹菜上,人食用了芹菜后,蛟龙幼体随之进入人体腹部,最终变成蛟龙。这种病症发作时类似癫狂,面色发黄发青,小腹胀大如同怀孕一般。治疗使用:
粥饧(麦芽糖)三升。
寒食粥饧三升,每日服用三次。服药后可吐出蛟龙,其形态有两个头及一条尾巴。
另一种症状是早晨进食晚上呕吐,心窝处坚硬如杯状,忽冷忽热,呕吐逆气无法进食,这是由寒性积滞引起的。治疗使用:
珍珠、雄黄、丹砂各一两,朴硝二两,干姜十累。
将以上五味药捣碎过筛,用蜂蜜调和制成丸剂。饭前服用,每次如梧桐子大小的两丸,若感到轻微烦躁,饮水即可缓解。忌食生血类食物。
呕吐有两种类型:一种是胃中积热,一种是胃中积冷。这两种情况性质相反,必须仔细辨别。如果属于热症,适宜使用:
生芦根、生麦门冬(去除心)、青竹茹各一升,生姜汁五合,茯苓五两。
以上药物用水八升,煎煮至剩余二升半,滤去药渣,加入竹沥六合,搅拌均匀,分三次服用。两次服药间隔时间相当于人行走十里路所需的时间,然后再服用下一剂。忌食醋制食物。如果服用上述药物未能完全治愈,适宜再用:
茯苓五两,人参三两,麦门冬(去除心)一升,生姜六两,青竹茹一升。
共同捣碎过筛,用蜂蜜调和制成丸剂,用芦根汤送服。初次服用十五丸,每日两次。逐渐增加剂量至三十丸,大小如梧桐子。
如果属于冷症,适宜使用:
半夏、小麦面各一升。
先将半夏捣成散剂,用水调和面粉,制成如弹子大小的丸剂,用水煮熟冷面丸,此时药物即成。初次吞服四到五丸,每日两次。逐渐增加至十四五丸,边煮边服,病情自然会逐渐减轻。又如服用前面的药物,病情虽逐渐减轻,但病根未除,想要多配制前面的丸剂,又担心含有毒性药物,不可长期服用。可以改用:
人参、白术各五两,生姜八两,浓朴(炙烤处理)、细辛各四两,橘皮三两,桂心二两。
以上药物捣碎过筛,用蜂蜜调和制成丸剂,大小如梧桐子,温水送服。初次服用十丸,每日两次,逐渐增加至二十丸。如果与前方的半夏丸交替服用,也可以。忌食桃、李、羊肉、雀肉、生葱、生菜。
In the third and eighth months, the larvae of the Jiaolong (a mythical dragon-like creature) are born on celery. If humans consume celery, the larvae enter the human abdomen and transform into a Jiaolong. The onset of this disease resembles mania (dian syndrome), with a yellowish-green complexion and a distended lower abdomen resembling pregnancy. Treatment uses:
Zhou Xing (Maltose Syrup) three sheng.
Cold-food Zhou Xing three sheng, taken orally three times daily. After administration, the Jiaolong is vomited out, possessing two heads and a tail.
Another symptom pattern involves morning intake followed by evening vomiting, hardness in the epigastrium like a cup, alternating chills and fever, regurgitation preventing food intake; this is caused by cold accumulation (Han Pi). Treatment uses:
Zhenzhu (Pearl), Xionghuang (Realgar), Dansha (Cinnabar) each one liang, Puxiao (Mirabilite) two liang, Ganjiang (Dried Ginger) ten lei.
The above five ingredients are crushed and sifted, then mixed with honey to form pills. Taken before meals, two pills the size of Sophora seeds per dose. If mild restlessness occurs, drinking water resolves it. Avoid raw blood products.
There are two types of vomiting: one is heat accumulation in the Stomach, the other is cold accumulation in the Stomach. These two conditions are opposite and must be carefully distinguished. If it belongs to a heat syndrome, the following is suitable:
Sheng Lugen (Fresh Reed Rhizome), Sheng Maimendong (Ophiopogon Tuber, heart removed), Qing Zhuru (Green Bamboo Shavings) each one sheng, Shengjiang Zhi (Ginger Juice) five he, Fuling (Poria) five liang.
The above are boiled in eight sheng of water until reduced to two and a half sheng. The dregs are filtered out, Liu Zhuli (Bamboo Sap) six he is added, stirred well, and divided into three doses. The interval between doses should be equivalent to the time it takes a person to walk ten li. Then take the next dose. Avoid vinegar-based foods. If the previous medication fails to completely cure the condition, the following is suitable for further use:
Fuling (Poria) five liang, Renshen (Ginseng Root) three liang, Maimendong (Ophiopogon Tuber, heart removed) one sheng, Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger) six liang, Qing Zhuru (Green Bamboo Shavings) one sheng.
Crushed and sifted together, mixed with honey to form pills, taken down with decoction of Lugen (Reed Rhizome). Initially take fifteen pills, twice daily. Gradually increase to thirty pills, the size of Sophora seeds.
If it is a cold syndrome, the following is suitable:
Banxia (Pinellia Tuber), Xiaomai Mian (Wheat Flour) each one sheng.
First crush Banxia into powder, mix with water and wheat flour to form pills the size of bullet seeds. Boil these "cold noodles" in water until cooked; the medicine is then ready. Initially swallow four or five pills, twice daily. Gradually increase to fourteen or fifteen pills. Cook and take immediately as needed; the illness will gradually subside. Furthermore, if taking the previous medicines reduces symptoms but does not eradicate the root cause, and one fears that preparing more of the previous pills involves toxic substances unsuitable for long-term use, one may switch to:
Renshen (Ginseng Root), Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome) each five liang, Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger) eight liang, Houpo (Magnolia Bark, processed by stir-frying), Xixin (Asarum Root) each four liang, Chuanpi (Citrus Peel) three liang, Guixin (Cinnamon Twig Heart) two liang.
Crushed and sifted, mixed with honey to form pills the size of Sophora seeds, taken down with warm water. Initially take ten pills, twice daily, gradually increasing to twenty pills. Alternating with the Banxia pills is also acceptable. Avoid peaches, plums, mutton, sparrow meat, raw scallions, and raw vegetables.
