不可服。
益母草
单一味为末，不犯铁器炼蜜丸，如弹子大，每服一丸。久服亦令人有子，其妇人胎前产后
诸疾，治无不效。服法备载于妇人门济阴返魂丹方中。
败毒散 治四时头疼项强，壮热恶寒，身体烦痛，寒热交壅，咳嗽，鼻塞声重，风痰头痛，呕
哕寒热。
人参 赤茯苓（去皮） 甘草（炙） 前胡 芎 羌活 独活 桔梗 柴胡 枳壳（麸炒）
上等分为咀，每服四钱，水一盏，姜三片，薄荷少许，煎八分，不拘时温服。
《活人书》云∶治四时疫疠。余平生以济人，常无虚日。盖四时不正之气，冬当寒而反热，
夏当热而反寒，春宜温而反凉，秋宜凉而反温，故病者大小无异，或一郡一邑，然唯丘陵泽国，
高下有差。大抵使人痰涎风壅，热烦头疼身痛等证。或饮食有常，起居依旧，甚至声哑，市井号
为浪子瘟，以其咳声不响，续续相连，俨如蛙鸣，故又号曰虾蟆瘟。或至赤眼口疮， 腮喉闭，
风壅喷嚏，涕唾稠粘，里域皆同者并治之。数服未效者，须服滚痰丸，逐去败痰，然后再服，
以效为度。药中去赤茯苓、桔梗，加青皮、白术者，名清气散，治法并同，但以荆芥穗为引子，
不用生姜、薄荷。败毒散中须加干葛为妙。多服未效，而有寒热往来不常者，必用小柴胡汤，不
拘时服数剂，并无过失。此三法治痰涎风壅热烦，滚痰丸之次，煎药中之精粹也。三阳香港脚，上
壅痰涎，风毒热烦，通用败毒散。大便秘，并口鼻出血痰涕者，加黄芩、大黄，同法煎服，或用清
气散亦可。简当神效，速验，不在沉香三汤之下。
返魂丹 治一切久病危急，不进饮食，气欲绝者。
荜茇 麦芽（炒） 青皮（去穣） 人参 苦桔梗 柴胡 白豆蔻 南木香 高良姜 半夏曲
上为细末，每服一钱，水一盏，煎七分，热服大效，忌油腻鱼腥粘滑。此药最妙，余救人
极多，但少得全
生者，其说为何？盖此病去死甚近，才得少减，百念复生，由是中辍者多矣。所谓万全者，惟
处子及道流中数人而已。后之患者，当自裁之。如或大便秘实者，间服滚痰丸，每日服三十丸，
行津润脏，庶得涎行气降，以全前功。若始因实证而噎者，只根据滚痰丸法度服之，以效为度。救
人极众，更不细述。
驱疟汤 治一切新久疟疾。此方原自至元十五年，阿木都元帅南征之时，因患疟疾，百法不
效。至于维扬，召官医诊之。余亲识石其姓者，忽为有司驱至帐前，但见虎符以下，官员露刃守
卫，元帅久患疟疾，身自谓必死，既而传命曰∶元帅久患疟疾，只今便要安可。石公忧畏之极，
信手撮成一剂，服之即效，大有赏赉，及出身根脚。后数年，其药仆从余游宦南荒，彼中官吏将
校例苦疟，因获此方，随用即效，遂大行于世。复会维扬石公，再请订正。石公曰∶尚欠陈皮一
味。余从而用之，则鲜效矣。后悟其相戏，但根据前法四味为的，至今四十年矣。
常山 草果（煨） 知母（去毛） 贝母（去心）
上等分，每服四钱，虚弱老人小儿只用三钱，酒一盏，煎八分，不可过熟，熟则不效。发日
天明后热服，渣以酒浸，至将发前再煎热服，奇效如神，不能备述。尝有妇人每日午后发热，
众医百计，循经用药，日久愈重。余道此四味令服，医士莫肯听从。余曰∶此纯热疟疾，平日
治之，如探囊取物耳，勉其服之即瘥。但人恶其酒气，余家亲戚老幼才有疟疾，俱能服之。原无
恶味，余因用酒先煮过常山，晒干入药，只令患人水煎服亦妙，不可例谓常山为吐药而不用，万
万无一人曾吐者。盖疟者，痰疾也，常山专能治痰。有微吐者，乃痰药相敌而然。亦有自然吐者，
世俗命日醉疟，岂常山之使然乎？
通神丸（出余家秘室方） 治一切疟疾神效，每当济人，四时不阙。服者除生冷鱼腥油腻
粘滑外，余药百无所忌。余平生收方，疟药最多，但犯砒 ，恶性相反避忌者，并绝而不用。惟
此二方，济人绝妙。
树上自死干桃子（六两，为末） 黑豆末（一两） 巴豆（七粒，去壳，细研入药）
上一处用新汲水为丸，如梧桐子大，朱砂为衣。患者发日天初明时，面东念药王药上菩萨。

川乌头（生用） 青头矾（各两）
上为细末，每服一字，入苇管吹入鼻内，出涕吐涎立效。须令患人噙水满口，闭住鼻息，

（各半两）
上为细末，醋糊丸，梧桐子大。每服三十五丸，温酒下三服。忌鸡猪鱼蒜、粘滑油腻、烧炙
煎爆、胡椒热物、房室财气。能如苦行三年者，十治八九，不然则虽效，亦成中辍。余平素济人
颇多，惟田夫野叟，百无一有，限病爱身者，一一奏功。其余稍加纵逸者，未甚全瘥。患者宜自
珍惜。
桃溪方气宝丸 治腰胁俱病，如抱一瓮，肌肤坚硬，按之如鼓，两脚肿满，曲膝仰卧，不能屈

南木香
上为细末，熬皂角膏和丸，梧桐子大，每服五、七十丸。如前方不效，病实者，加至一百丸，
生三、灯草汤下，取泻方效。不拘日数，泻三、五行，见水为妙，未则再加数丸。如不忍泻者，
不可治也。一切气血凝滞，风毒炽盛，或香港脚走注，作肿疼痛，大便秘涩，或香港脚入腹，心胸满
闷，寒热往来，状类伤寒，并宜服之。
局方小七香丸 治大人小儿停滞面食之毒，或因疮疥，遍身浮肿。并用陈夏萝卜子拣净炒熟，

葶苈木香散（出《宣明论》） 治湿热内外郁甚，水肿胀满，小便赤涩，大便滑泄。
葶苈 赤茯苓（去皮） 猪苓（去皮） 白术（去芦） 肉桂（各一分） 木香（五分）
泽泻 川木通（去节） 甘草（各半两） 滑石（香腻细白者，研细，水飞三两）

《素问》控睾证茴香楝实丸（出《宣明论》）
治小肠病结于腰上而不痛，或上冲心肺，邪所系，兼一切寒热疝气所作，累用神效。种

茴香（炒） 川楝子（去皮核，麸炒） 吴茱萸（汤泡去梗） 马练花（去蒂梗，醋炒）
广陈皮（去白。各一两） 芫花（醋炒，半斤）
上为末，醋糊丸，如梧桐子大。每服二十丸，未效加至二、五十丸，空心食前则盐酒盐汤
任下，须一日前后不可食甘草冷物。世俗才闻小肠气，便令服蟠葱散之类，殊不知非止寒气为病，
但是风寒暑湿中，七情逆意事，饮食压下，肾经皆能为此病。若外肾不肿痛，只觉腰痛连腹，
名曰内疝，正宜服之。大抵此疾，纵有神药，不过起疾而已，欲去病根者，未之见也。常有
病者，发则痛阵内攻，响声百异，上吐黄汁，泻血片数升，其势方退，亦用前药奏功。又有一证，
阴痛不已，渐渐日久，津液不行，大便秘结，数日不通，遍身块大小
不等，四肢如厥，疼痛不敢转侧，六脉洪大实数，饮食不进。余用十四卷内滚痰丸一百丸，熟
水送下，津行气顺，大便即通，再进一服，三日履地。如外肾疼痛，烦热引饮，小便不利者，
用五苓散加灯草二十茎，川木通同煎服。下部畏冷者，仍用炒盐一包，更换隔衣温存外肾，消
息服饵之宜。惟外肾肿大痛与不痛，并皆除治，今选《肘后》二方。
治外肾肿大日长或疼或不疼方（出抱朴子《肘后方》）
皂角剌（一百个） 糯米粉（水调为大饼一个，径如碗口，浓寸许）
上二味俟赛社日，各人付与一刺毕，患人手持粉饼逐一于社人前取刺。社人问曰∶ 甚？患人
曰∶ 魁。如是遍求取一一问答。以其刺逐一插在饼上，收归安顿闲空处，候饼干时，其肿亦消。
如一社无百人者，须托人方便计会二、三社人，预勉其还刺时问曰 甚一句。
又方 取蔓菁菜根切碎擂烂敷肿处，以效为度，如无蔓菁菜根，新杏仁亦可。
将上述药物共研为细末，空腹时每次服用三钱，用酒送服或制成丸剂服用。
治疗脚趾缝间溃烂的疮疡，以及因暑天用手抓挠导致的双脚溃烂疮口。
取细茶放入口中嚼烂，敷于患处，立即痊愈。
治疗手足皮肤皲裂。

治疗头风疼痛剧烈伴呕吐的方子。

加水一盏半，细茶一撮，煎至七分，饭后温服。
治疗赤白汗斑。
灸夹白穴即可痊愈，或用针刺该穴出血也能痊愈。这是经过试验验证的：先在两个乳头尖端涂黑，让双手伸直夹住身体，染黑处即为穴位。
青白散，治疗各种牙痛。
青盐（二两） 白盐 川椒（煎汁。各四两）
将花椒汁拌入两种盐中炒干，研为细末，用来擦拭牙齿，可永远不再患齿病。用漱口水洗眼睛，也不会患眼疾。
又一方
春天采集槐树的嫩芽或如手指粗的槐条，数量不限，煎煮成浓汁，与干净的盐一起熬干，研为细末，清晨用来擦牙，漱口后洗眼，能使眼睛明亮、牙齿坚固，胡须和头发也会变黑。其中的盐需用水淘去黑色泥土，先将盐水熬干，再倒入槐汁共同熬制。
治疗骨头卡喉。
香椿树种子阴干半碗，研磨碎，用热酒冲调服用，过一会儿连骨吐出。
又一方
吃橄榄即可使骨头下行。或将橄榄核捣为细末，用流动的水调服。
治疗鸡骨卡喉。
用一只活鸡打死，趁热取出鸡肫里面的黄皮，洗净后用灯心草包裹鸡肫黄皮，在火上烧成灰，研为细末，用小竹筒吹入喉咙中，骨刺即会消化。注意不可见到肉。
治疗蝎子蜇伤。
白矾、半夏等分为细末，用好醋调和贴敷，疼痛停止，毒气排出。
又一方
胆矾末涂于患处即可痊愈。
兜肚方，昆山顾状元刊印施行的两种方法。

木鳖子（八钱） 羚羊角（一两） 甘松 丁香皮（七钱） 麝香（九分） 分成三份装入兜肚内。
以上共十二味药，用蕲艾絮绵装在白绫制成的兜肚内。初次服用者穿三天后解下，到第五日再穿上，一个月后常穿。专门治疗痞积、遗精、白浊，妇女赤白带下，以及妇女月经不调长期不孕者。只有孕妇不可服用。
益母草
单一味药研为细末，不接触铁器，炼蜜制成丸剂，如弹子大小，每次服用一丸。长期服用也能让人有子嗣，妇女胎前产后各种疾病，治疗没有不有效的。服用方法详细记载在妇人门济阴返魂丹方中。
败毒散，治疗四季头疼项强，高热恶寒，身体烦痛，寒热交结壅滞，咳嗽，鼻塞声音重浊，风痰头痛，呕吐呃逆寒热。
人参 赤茯苓（去皮） 甘草（炙） 前胡 川芎 羌活 独活 桔梗 柴胡 枳壳（麸炒）
上等份锉成粗末，每次服用四钱，水一盏，姜三片，少许薄荷，煎至八分，不拘时候温服。
《活人书》说：治疗四季疫疠之气。我一生用它救人，从未虚度一日。大概是四季不正之气，冬天应当寒冷却反热，夏天应当炎热却反寒，春天应当温暖却反凉，秋天应当凉爽却反温，所以病人症状大小无异，或者一郡一邑之间，但丘陵泽地，高下有差异。大体使人痰涎风壅，热烦头疼身痛等症状。或者饮食有常，起居依旧，甚至声音嘶哑，市井称为浪子瘟，因为其咳嗽声不响亮，连续不断，宛如蛙鸣，所以又称虾蟆瘟。或者出现红眼口疮，腮喉闭塞，风壅喷嚏，涕唾稠粘，里域皆同的症状都治疗它。数服未见效的，必须服用滚痰丸，逐去败痰，然后再服药，以见效为标准。药中去掉赤茯苓、桔梗，加入青皮、白术的，名叫清气散，治法相同，但以荆芥穗为引子，不用生姜、薄荷。败毒散中加入干葛为好。多服未效，且有寒热往来不定的，必须用小柴胡汤，不拘时候服几剂，并无过失。这三种方法治疗痰涎风壅热烦，是滚痰丸之后，煎药中的精粹。三阳香港脚，上壅痰涎，风毒热烦，通用败毒散。大便秘结，并口鼻出血痰涕的，加黄芩、大黄，同法煎服，或用清气散也可以。简当神效，速验，不在沉香三汤之下。
返魂丹，治疗一切久病危急，不进饮食，气欲绝者。
荜茇 麦芽（炒） 青皮（去瓤） 人参 苦桔梗 柴胡 白豆蔻 南木香 高良姜 半夏曲
研为细末，每次服用一钱，水一盏，煎至七分，热服大效，忌油腻鱼腥粘滑之物。此药最妙，我救人极多，但很少能完全生还的，这是什么原因呢？大概这种病离死很近，刚见少减，百念复生，因此中途停止治疗的很多了。所谓万全的，只有处女及道士中少数几人而已。后来的患者，应当自己裁量决定。如果大便秘实的，间服滚痰丸，每日服三十丸，行津润脏，庶得涎行气降，以保全前面的疗效。如果始因实证而噎的，只根据滚痰丸法度服用，以见效为标准。救人极众，更不细述。
驱疟汤，治疗一切新久疟疾。此方原自至元十五年，阿木都元帅南征之时，因患疟疾，百法不效。到了维扬，召官医诊治。我亲识石姓的人，忽然被官府驱至帐前，只见虎符以下，官员露刃守卫，元帅久患疟疾，自己认为必死，不久传命说：元帅久患疟疾，现在就要安好了。石公忧畏之极，信手撮成一剂，服之即效，大有赏赉，及出身根脚。后数年，其药仆从余游宦南荒，彼中官吏将校例苦疟，因获此方，随用即效，遂大行于世。复会维扬石公，再请订正。石公说：尚欠陈皮一味。我从而用之，则鲜效矣。后悟其相戏，但根据前法四味为的，至今四十年矣。
常山 草果（煨） 知母（去毛） 贝母（去心）
上等份，每次服用四钱，虚弱老人小儿只用三钱，酒一盏，煎八分，不可过熟，熟则不效。发日天明后热服，渣以酒浸，至将发前再煎热服，奇效如神，不能备述。尝有妇人每日午后发热，众医百计，循经用药，日久愈重。我道此四味令服，医士莫肯听从。我说：此纯热疟疾，平日治之，如探囊取物耳，勉其服之即瘥。但人恶其酒气，余家亲戚老幼才有疟疾，俱能服之。原无恶味，我因用酒先煮过常山，晒干入药，只令患人水煎服亦妙，不可例谓常山为吐药而不用，万万无一人曾吐者。盖疟者，痰疾也，常山专能治痰。有微吐者，乃痰药相敌而然。亦有自然吐者，世俗命日醉疟，岂常山之使然乎？
通神丸（出自我家秘室方），治疗一切疟疾神效，每当济人，四时不阙。服者除生冷鱼腥油腻粘滑外，余药百无所忌。我平生收方，疟药最多，但犯砒，恶性相反避忌者，并绝而不用。惟此二方，济人绝妙。
树上自死干桃子（六两，为末） 黑豆末（一两） 巴豆（七粒，去壳，细研入药）
上一处用新汲水为丸，如梧桐子大，朱砂为衣。患者发日天初明时，面东念药王药上菩萨。新汲水吞下一丸立效。每日发者连服两日。小儿服者，别丸大小不等者，量与之。
金黄散（出自前文），治疗尿血。
槐花（拣净，炒） 川郁金（湿纸裹煨熟。各一两）
研为细末，每次服用二钱，煎淡豆豉汤调下，无时立效。
桃仁法，治疗炎瘴气服。
好新桃仁（二升，去尖） 好阿魏（二两）
上用老酒一斗同煮，酒尽焙干，于绢袋内盛。如入炎瘴之地，即每日空心烂嚼七枚，酒下极妙。
治疗蛇虎病毒虫所伤（出自前文）。
白矾一味溶汁，先着患处大小，用纸捻作圈，水湿过，围在疮外令着实，留中间损处，略掺雄黄末，即用纸，矾汁倾纸圈中疮口上，片时追出毒瓦斯黄水，其上尚有红线纹缕，亦即收尽。如大段恶物所伤者，随即用绳紧扎定疮后，毋令入腹，然后用之。食卒无雄黄，亦可此法。
通关散（前方），治疗一切口眼歪斜。
川乌头（生用） 青头矾（各两）
研为细末，每次服用一字，入苇管吹入鼻内，出涕吐涎立效。须令患人噙水满口，闭住鼻息，庶得药不落患人之口，亦不遂于吹药人口也。神效无比。
愈风散（前方），治疗一切大风恶疾，除鼻梁塌者不治，其余久新见患，服之无不愈者。
淡豉（为末） 真水银轻粉 枳壳末
上各抄小钱上二钱，五更初煎，糯米饮调下。至早饭后，稍觉困倦，欲睡不睡意思，乃药力搜风故也。逐下恶物后，次服丸子药。
鹤虱丸，治法如前，不拘岁月，以效为度。
鹤虱（二两，微炒，须自来者为良，盖此草与 草相似，即地菘花别名也。 草对节生叶，而地菘生叶即不对节也） 防风（一两） 地榆 麻黄（去节） 雄黄（明者，另研） 天麻（各半两）
研为细末，醋糊丸，梧桐子大。每次服用三十五丸，温酒下三服。忌鸡猪鱼蒜、粘滑油腻、烧炙煎爆、胡椒热物、房室财气。能如苦行三年者，十治八九，不然则虽效，亦成中辍。我平素济人颇多，惟田夫野叟，百无一有，限病爱身者，一一奏功。其余稍加纵逸者，未甚全瘥。患者宜自珍惜。
桃溪方气宝丸，治疗腰胁俱病，如抱一瓮，肌肤坚硬，按之如鼓，两脚肿满，曲膝仰卧，不能屈伸，自头至膻中瘦瘠露骨，中脘寒溢，四肢无力，饮食无味，气积食积，或通身浮肿，并皆治之。孕妇勿服。
黑牵牛 大黄（两半） 槟榔 青皮（去瓤。各一两） 川芎 当归 橘红 茴香（微炒） 南木香

Grind the aforementioned herbs into a fine powder. Take three qian on an empty stomach, administered with wine or in pill form.
For treating ulcers between the toes and sores on both feet caused by summer heat and scratching:
Chew fine tea leaves thoroughly and apply the paste to the affected area; it will heal immediately.
For treating chapped skin on hands and feet:
Asphalt (2 liang), Beeswax (1 liang).
Boil and stir evenly over fire, store in a clay jar. First wash the affected area with hot water to soften the skin, dry it, then slightly warm the medicine over low fire and apply/ rub onto the skin.
Formula for severe headache due to wind-cold accompanied by vomiting:
Ligusticum Chuanxiong Rhizome (1 qian), Mentha Haplocalyx, Angelica Dahurica, Saposhnikovia Root, Licorice Root, Asarum, Notopterygium Root, Schizonepeta Spike, Ligusticum Wallichii, Fringeless Magnolia Flower Bud (all in equal proportions).
Add one and a half cups of water and a pinch of fine tea, decoct until seven-tenths remain. Take warm after meals.
For treating red and white sweat spots:
Moxibustion at the Jia Bai acupoint will cure it immediately, or pricking the point to bleed also works. This has been verified: first mark the nipples black, extend both arms straight to clamp the body; the blackened spot is the acupoint.
Qingbai San (Green and White Powder) treats all types of toothache.
Blue Salt (2 liang), White Salt, Sichuan Pepper (decocted juice; each 4 liang).
Mix the two salts with pepper juice, stir-fry until dry, grind into powder, and rub onto teeth to permanently prevent dental diseases. Use the mouthwash to rinse eyes to prevent eye diseases.
Another formula:
In spring, collect locust tree buds or branches as thick as a finger, quantity unspecified. Decoct into a concentrated liquid, boil together with clean salt until dry, grind into fine powder. Apply to teeth early in the morning, rinse mouth and wash eyes; this brightens eyes, strengthens teeth, and darkens hair and beard. The salt must be washed with water to remove black mud, boiled dry first, then locust juice added and boiled together.
For treating fish bone stuck in throat:
Dry half a bowl of Toona sinensis seeds in shade, crush them, mix with hot wine and drink. After a while, the bone will be vomited out along with the substance.
Another formula:
Eat olives to help the bone pass down. Or crush olive pits into powder, take with flowing water.
For treating chicken bone stuck in throat:
Kill a live chicken, while still hot, remove the yellow membrane from inside the gizzard. Wash clean, wrap the membrane with rush pith, burn to ash over fire, grind into powder. Blow the powder into the throat using a small bamboo tube; the bone will dissolve. Ensure no meat is visible.
For treating scorpion stings:
Equal parts of Alum and Pinellia Tuber, ground into powder, mixed with good vinegar and applied topically. Pain stops and toxin exits.
Another formula:
Apply Chalcanthite powder to the affected area; it heals immediately.
Doudou Formula (Belly Band Formula), two methods published by Scholar Gu of Kunshan for public benefit.
White Sandalwood (1 liang), Lingling Fragrance (5 qian), Horseshoe Root, Angelica Dahurica, Aristolochia Manshuriensis, Cimicifuga Rhizome, Dragon's Blood (each 5 qian).
Strychnos Seed (8 qian), Antelope Horn (1 liang), Sweet Scabious, Clove Bark (7 qian), Musk (9 fen). Divide into three belly bands.
The above twelve ingredients are stuffed with Qichai Moxa cotton into white silk belly bands. Initial users wear it for three days, then remove it. On the fifth day, wear it again. After one month, wear it regularly. It specifically treats abdominal masses, spermatorrhea, leukorrhea, women's red and white vaginal discharge, and women with irregular menstruation who have not conceived for a long time. Pregnant women must not use it.
Motherwort Herb:
Grind the single herb into powder, avoid iron vessels, refine honey to make pills the size of a bullet. Take one pill per dose. Long-term use can also help women conceive. It is effective for all pre- and post-natal disorders in women. Dosage details are recorded in the Ji Yin Fan Hun Dan formula in the Women's Section.
Baidu San (Hundred Cures Powder) treats seasonal headaches and stiff neck, high fever with aversion to cold, body aches, alternating chills and fever, cough, nasal congestion with heavy voice, wind-phlegm headache, vomiting and hiccups with chills and fever.
Ginseng Radix, Red Poria (peeled), Licorice Root (roasted), Peucedanum Root, Ligusticum Chuanxiong Rhizome, Notopterygium Root, Angelica Pubescens Root, Platycodon Root, Bupleurum Root, Aurantium Fruit (bran-roasted).
Grind into coarse powder. Take four qian per dose with one cup of water, three slices of ginger, and a little mint. Decoct until eight-tenths remain. Take warm at any time.
*Huoren Shu* states: Treats epidemic diseases of all seasons. I have used it to save people throughout my life without fail every day. It addresses the abnormal qi of the four seasons: winter should be cold but is hot, summer should be hot but is cold, spring should be warm but is cool, autumn should be cool but is warm. Thus, patients present with similar symptoms regardless of severity, or within a specific county or city, though there may be variations based on terrain (hills vs. marshes). Generally, it causes phlegm-fluid retention, wind obstruction, fever, irritability, headache, and body pain. Even if diet and routine remain normal, symptoms may progress to hoarseness. Market people call it "Wanderer Plague" because the cough sounds weak and continuous, like a frog croaking, hence also called "Toad Plague." It also treats red eyes, mouth sores, swollen cheeks and throat closure, wind obstruction with sneezing, thick sticky sputum, and similar conditions across regions. If several doses are ineffective, one must take Guntan Wan (Rolling Phlegm Pill) to expel stale phlegm, then resume medication until efficacy is achieved. Removing Red Poria and Platycodon Root, adding Green Tangerine Peel and Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome creates Qingqi San (Clear Qi Powder), with the same treatment method, but using Schizonepeta Spike as a guide herb instead of ginger and mint. Adding Kudzu Root to Baidu San is beneficial. If multiple doses are ineffective and there is alternating chills and fever, Xiao Chaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) must be taken at any time for several doses without error. These three methods treat phlegm-fluid retention, wind obstruction, and fever; Guntan Wan is secondary, while decoctions are the essence. For San Yang Hong Kong Foot (Gout/Jock Itch), characterized by upper phlegm-fluid retention, wind-toxin, and fever, Baidu San is generally used. For constipation and bleeding from nose/mouth with phlegm/snot, add Scutellaria Root and Rhubarb, decoct and take similarly, or use Qingqi San. It is concise, miraculous, fast-acting, and comparable to Chenxiang San Tang.
Fanhun Dan (Reviving Soul Pill) treats all chronic critical illnesses where food intake is refused and vital energy is nearly exhausted.
Long Pepper Fruit, Malt (roasted), Green Tangerine Peel (pith removed), Ginseng Radix, Bitter Platycodon Root, Bupleurum Root, White Cardamom Seed, Southern Costus Root, Galangal, Pinellia Fermented Dough.
Grind into fine powder. Take one qian per dose with one cup of water, decoct until seven-tenths remain. Take hot for great effect. Avoid greasy, fishy, and slippery foods. This medicine is excellent; I have saved many people, yet few survive completely. Why? Because these patients are close to death; once symptoms slightly subside, they regain hope and often stop treatment prematurely. Only virgins and a few Daoist practitioners achieve complete recovery. Future patients should decide for themselves. If constipation is severe, take Guntan Wan intermittently, thirty pills daily, to moisten the bowels and descend qi/phlegm, preserving previous efforts. If the initial cause was excess syndrome leading to dysphagia, follow Guntan Wan dosage strictly until efficacy is achieved. I have saved many; details omitted.
Qunie Tang (Malaria Expelling Decoction) treats all new and old malaria cases. This formula originated in the 15th year of Zhiyuan, when Marshal Amudu fell ill with malaria during his southern campaign, and hundred methods failed. Upon reaching Weiyang, official physicians were summoned. My acquaintance, Mr. Shi, was suddenly brought before the tent under armed guard. The Marshal, suffering from long-term malaria and believing he would die, ordered that he be cured immediately. Mr. Shi, extremely worried, casually combined a prescription which took effect immediately. He received great rewards and promotion. Years later, his servant traveled with me to the southern frontier, where officials and soldiers commonly suffered from malaria. They obtained this formula, which proved effective, and it became widely popular. Meeting Mr. Shi again in Weiyang, we revised it. Mr. Shi said: "It lacks one ingredient: Citrus Reticulata Peel." I added it, but efficacy decreased. Later I realized he was joking; I reverted to the original four ingredients, which have remained effective for forty years.
Cinchona Bark (Changshan), Tsaoko Fruit (roasted), Anemarrhena Rhizome (hairs removed), Fritillaria Bulb (heart removed).
Equal parts. Take four qian per dose (three qian for weak, elderly, or children). Add one cup of wine, decoct until eight-tenths remain. Do not overcook, or it loses efficacy. Take hot after dawn on the day of attack. Soak the dregs in wine, decoct again hot just before the next attack. Miraculous effect, too numerous to describe. I once treated a woman with daily afternoon fever. Physicians tried hundreds of methods, following meridians, but she worsened. I advised her to take these four ingredients. Physicians refused. I said: "This is pure heat malaria; treating it is like taking something from a bag." She reluctantly took it and recovered. People dislike the wine smell, but my relatives and elders with malaria could tolerate it. Originally odorless; I pre-boiled Cinchona Bark in wine, dried it, and added it to the medicine. Patients can also decoct with water alone. Do not assume Cinchona Bark is only an emetic and discard it; no one has ever vomited from it. Malaria is a phlegm disease; Cinchona Bark specifically treats phlegm. Mild vomiting occurs due to conflict between phlegm and medicine. Some vomit naturally, called "drunken malaria" by laypeople, not caused by Cinchona Bark.
Tongshen Wan (Spirit-Penetrating Pill) (from my family's secret formulas) treats all malaria with miraculous effect, available year-round for saving lives. Users need only avoid raw, cold, fishy, greasy, and slippery foods; other dietary restrictions do not apply. I have collected many malaria formulas in my life, avoiding those conflicting with Arsenic or having malignant interactions. Only these two formulas are truly excellent for saving lives.
Dead Dried Peach on Tree (6 liang, powdered), Black Soybean Powder (1 liang), Croton Seed (7 grains, shelled, finely ground and added).
Mix with fresh well water to form pills the size of paulownia seeds, coated with Cinnabar. On the day of attack, at dawn, face east and chant to the Medicine King and Yaoshang Bodhisattva. Swallow one pill with fresh well water for immediate effect. Those with daily attacks take for two consecutive days. For children, adjust pill size accordingly.
Jinhuang San (Golden Yellow Powder) (from previous text) treats hematuria.
Sophora Flower (cleaned, roasted), Curcuma Wenyujin Rhizome (wrapped in wet paper and baked cooked; each 1 liang).
Grind into powder. Take two qian per dose, mixed with light fermented soybean decoction. Immediate effect at any time.
Peach Kernel Method for treating miasma heat toxicity:
Good fresh peach kernels (2 sheng, tips removed), Good Asafoetida (2 liang).
Decoct in one dou of aged wine until wine is consumed, dry roast, and store in a silk bag. When entering miasma areas, chew seven pieces on an empty stomach daily, taken with wine. Extremely effective.
Treating snake, tiger, virus, and insect bites (from previous text):
Dissolve Alum in water. Determine the size of the affected area. Make a ring from paper twists, wet it, and place around the wound firmly, leaving the damaged center exposed. Sprinkle a little Realgar powder in the center. Pour Alum solution into the paper ring over the wound. In a short time, toxic yellow fluid will drain out, including any red thread-like patterns. For severe injuries, tightly tie a rope behind the wound immediately to prevent toxin spreading inward, then apply. If Realgar is unavailable, this method still works.
Tongguan San (Previous Formula) treats all facial paralysis (mouth and eye deviation).
Aconite Lateral Root (raw), Blue-headed Alum (each 1 liang).
Grind into fine powder. Take one zi (small measure) per dose, blow into the nostrils using a reed tube. Immediate effect upon discharge of nasal mucus and saliva. Patient must hold water in mouth and close nasal breathing to prevent medicine from falling out or blowing into the mouth. Unparalleled efficacy.
Yufeng San (Previous Formula) treats all severe wind diseases, except collapsed nose bridge which is incurable. All other recent or chronic cases heal upon administration.
Lightly Fermented Soybean (powdered), True Mercury Calomel, Aurantium Fruit Powder.
Take two qian of each on a small coin. Decoct at dawn, take with glutinous rice drink. After breakfast, feel slightly drowsy, wanting to sleep but unable to; this is the medicine searching for wind. After expelling evil substances, follow with pill medicine.
Heshi Wan (Nipplewort Pill) Treatment as above, duration unspecified, stop when effective.
Nipplewort (2 liang, lightly roasted; wild origin is best, as this grass resembles *Di Song* flower alias. *Di Song* has opposite leaves at nodes, while Nipplewort does not), Saposhnikovia Root (1 liang), Sanguisorba Root, Ephedra Stem (nodes removed), Realgar (clear quality, ground separately), Gastrodia Elata Rhizome (each half liang).
Grind into powder, bind with vinegar paste into pills the size of paulownia seeds. Take 35 pills per dose with warm wine, three times. Avoid chicken, pork, fish, garlic, slippery/greasy foods, fried/baked items, pepper/hot foods, sexual activity, and financial stress. Those who endure hardship for three years see 80-90% success; otherwise, even if effective, treatment may halt. I have helped many, especially farmers and commoners, rarely failing. Those who indulge slightly may not fully recover. Patients should cherish their health.
Taoxi Fang Qibao Wan (Qi Treasure Pill) treats waist and flank pain, feeling like holding a jar, hard skin, drum-like percussion, swollen legs, inability to bend knees or lie flat, emaciation from head to Danzhong, cold overflow in Zhongwan, limb weakness, loss of appetite, qi and food stagnation, or generalized edema. Pregnant women must not take.
Black Morning Glory Seed, Rhubarb (half liang), Areca Seed, Green Tangerine Peel (pith removed; each 1 liang), Ligusticum Chuanxiong Rhizome, Angelica Sinensis, Tangerine Peel, Fennel (lightly roasted), Southern Costus Root.
Grind into powder, mix with soap pod paste to form pills the size of paulownia seeds. Take 50-70 pills per dose. If ineffective, increase to 100 pills for excess syndromes, taken with raw [herb?] or rush water to induce purging for effect. Duration unspecified; purge 3-5 times, seeing water is ideal; if not, add more pills. If unable to purge, it is untreatable. Treats all qi-blood stagnation, severe wind-toxin, gout spreading with swelling/pain, constipation, gout entering abdomen causing chest fullness, alternating chills/fever resembling Taiyang disease.
Ju Fang Xiao Qixiang Wan treats adults and children with stagnation from wheat/noodle toxins, or generalized edema due to sores/scabies. Use aged radish seeds cleaned and roasted, mix with medicine, chew thoroughly. Adjust dose for children. Drink a sip of white soup after. If ineffective, continue daily. For constipation, additionally take Ju Fang Qingmuxiang Wan until bowel movement occurs.
Shenxiao Wushi Tang Wan (from Yefu Duoxiao Fang) treats hydroperitoneum (water gu), generalized edema soft as mud, deep-seated masses, and fixed accumulations. Do not consume Licorice Root while taking this medicine.
Knoxia Root (peeled, half liang), Kansui Root (raw weighed, half liang), Genkwa Flower (soaked in good wine overnight, drained, stir-fried yellow, 1 liang), Croton Seed (peeled, heart/oil removed, boiled in vinegar 20 times, half liang, oil removed), Pig Tooth Soap Pod (2 liang, peeled), Pepper.
Grind all except Croton Seed into powder. Mix with Croton powder, grind uniformly. Bind with water into pills the size of mung beans. Take 5-10 pills at night. With one cup of water, add small amounts of white rice, white flour, black bean, lettuce, and pork. Decoct until half cup remains. Take medicine with this warm liquid. Stop when root cause is eliminated. Increase dose if ineffective.
For severe swelling and急促 breathing, must eliminate bad water for effect. Avoid greasy, fishy, slippery foods. Pregnant women must not take. For edema with persistent diarrhea and difficult urination, termed "flood overflowing," do not use; use subsequent medicines instead.
Tingli Muxiang San (from *Xuanming Lun*) treats severe internal/external damp-heat, edema and distension, red/difficult urination, loose stools.
Descurainia Seed, Red Poria (peeled), Polyporus, Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome (stalks removed), Cinnamon Bark (each 1 fen), Costus Root (5 fen).
Alisma Rhizome, Tetrapanax Pith (nodes removed), Licorice Root (each half liang), Talcum (fragrant, fine, white, ground fine, water-washed 3 liang).
Grind into powder. Take three qian per dose with white soup. If urine output is low and diarrhea persists, it is difficult to treat, but commonly effective.
Secretly Taught Shenmiao Zijin Wan by Nobles treats various cold-damp bi syndromes, bone and joint pain.
Zijin Pi (rolled outward, purple-iron colored inside, head powder half jin), Guangfu Caowu (peeled tips, 3 liang, powder), Strychnos Seed (meat 3 liang, finely cut, soaked in rice vinegar until permeable, ground to paste).
Use Strychnos paste to knead with the first two powders. Bind with vinegar paste into pills the size of paulownia seeds. For arm pain, take before bed. For leg pain, take late at night on empty stomach. Take 30-40 pills, up to 50, sent down with cold Quince Wine. Avoid hot foods after taking. I obtained this formula in my youth in Huguang Province. Few possess it (only 3-5 people including me); its efficacy is unparalleled.
*Suwen* Kongtao Zheng Huixiang Lianshi Wan (from *Xuanming Lun*)
Treats small intestine disease knotting above the waist without pain, or rushing up to heart/lungs, related to pathogenic influence, plus all cold-heat hernias. Repeated use shows miraculous effect. No formula surpasses it.
Fennel (roasted), Sichuan Chinaberry Seed (peeled/cored, bran-roasted), Evodia Fruit (soaked in water, stems removed), Horse Lin Flower (stems/tips removed, vinegar-roasted), Broadleaf Orange Peel (white part removed; each 1 liang), Genkwa Flower (vinegar-roasted, half jin).
Grind into powder, bind with vinegar paste into pills the size of paulownia seeds. Take 20 pills per dose; increase to 20-50 if ineffective. Take on empty stomach before meals with salt wine or salt soup. Do not consume Licorice Root or cold foods before and after. Laypeople immediately prescribe Pancong San for inguinal hernia, unaware that it is not just cold qi causing disease, but also wind-cold-damp-heat, emotional disturbances, and dietary oppression affecting the Kidney Meridian. If external genitals are not swollen/painful but lower back pain radiates to abdomen, it is called internal hernia, suitable for this formula. Generally, even with miraculous medicine, this disease can only be relieved, not cured at the root. I have seen patients with intense internal attacking pain, varied sounds, vomiting yellow fluid, passing blood sheets, subsiding only after taking this medicine. Another case: persistent genital pain, prolonged lack of fluids, severe constipation for days, varying sized lumps on body, limbs cold, painful turning, six pulses large/excess/rapid, no appetite. I used 100 pills of Guntan Wan from Volume 14, taken with warm water. Fluids moved, qi smoothed, bowels opened. One more dose allowed walking in three days. For external genital pain, irritability, thirst, difficult urination, use Wuling San with 20 rush stems and Tetrapanax Pith decocted together. For lower body coldness, use a bag of roasted salt, change frequently through clothing to warm external genitals, adjusting dosage appropriately. Both painful and non-painful external genital swelling are treated. Now selecting two formulas from *Zhouhou*.
Formula for External Genital Swelling Growing Daily, Painful or Not (from Baopuzi *Zhouhou Fang*)
Soap Pod Thorns (100), Glutinous Rice Flour (mixed with water into a cake, diameter like bowl mouth, thickness about one cun).
On the day of the community festival, give one thorn to each person. The patient holds the flour cake and takes thorns one by one from festival participants. Participant asks: "What is it?" Patient replies: "Thorn." Repeat this question-answer process for all thorns. Insert thorns one by one into the cake. Return home, place in a quiet place. When the cake dries, the swelling disappears. If the community has fewer than 100 people, arrange with 2-3 other communities to ensure enough participants ask the question.
Another Formula:
Crush turnip roots, apply paste to swollen area until effective. If turnip roots unavailable, fresh almond kernels can be used.
