选取当年新长出的麋角,以连着脑顶部分者为上品;观察角根部有砍痕处也可以使用,若角根部不平整者则不可用。关于麋角丸的方剂共有百余首,此方特别出众,传说容成子曾服用此方而得道飞升。制作此药需取麋角五具,或四具、三具、二具、一具作为一剂。先去掉尖端一大寸,剩余部分长约七八寸,顺势截断,根据手握的大小进行劈镑(削成片),然后在流动的清水中,用竹器盛装悬挂浸泡,约十天十夜。如果没有流动清水的地方,就在干净的盆中注满水浸泡,每晚更换一次水,然后取出,削去皱皮,以利劈镑,镑取白色部分直到中心即止。用清粟米泔水浸泡两个晚上,初次经过一个晚上后即晾干,倒掉旧水,放在新绢上晒干,仔细挑选,去除杂质、粗骨皮及劈镑不均匀的部分。然后用没有灰的酒,在大白瓷器中浸泡两个晚上,酒的用量及器物大小随药物多少而定。将药和酒一起放入干净的锅中,先用猛火煮一顿饭的时间,然后改用文火微煎,当药液像蟹眼一样沸腾时,用长四尺、宽三指的柳木片慢慢搅拌,不得停手,累了就换人,不时添加美酒,直到煎成膏状为止。煎制都必须在清晨开始,不得超过两个晚上。还要观察药屑是否消解得像稀胶一样,然后加入五大升牛乳、一斤酥油,依次逐渐加入后续的药物。
麋角(一条,炙烤至黄色后研成散剂,与其他药物一同制备)、槟榔、通草、秦艽、人参、甘草、菟丝子、肉苁蓉(各二两)。
以上药物捣碎成散剂,如果不需要滋补功效,就不必将这些药共同煎煮。还可以再煮一顿饭的时间,当药液变得像稠粥一样浓稠时就停止加热,稍待热气散去,然后将诸药散投入其中混合均匀,搅拌至协调,等待片刻使其逐渐变稠且能粘合,即可用新的容器盛放储存。众人同时将其搓成梧桐子大小的丸药。如果不能众人一起搓丸,可以轮流加热后慢慢搓丸也可以。如果药丸粘手,可以涂少许酥油在手上来防止粘连。服用方法是空腹时用“三果浆”送服。如果没有三果浆,用酒送服也可以。初次服用三十丸,每天增加一丸,直到五十丸为止,每日服用两次。初次服用的一百天内,禁止房事。服药一个月后,腹内的各种疾病会自行排出,出现轻微腹泻不要奇怪。之后会逐渐排气增多,食欲增强,耳朵灵敏眼睛明亮,补益心神安定脏腑,填充骨髓,调理腰脚,能够久站,白发变黑,容貌由老转少。患有气滞病的,加入枳实、青木香,按照前面的标准各加大一两。如果之前曾经服用过丹石类药物,就用三黄丸在饭后服用以压制并宣泄药力。如果饮酒或吃面食后出现口干、鼻息粗重、眼睛干涩的情况,喝蜜浆即可缓解停止;如果不停止,再加服三黄丸使轻微腹泻。凡是如此经历一次药力发动之后,才能正常调养服用。到二百天时,脸上的皱纹自然舒展,光泽重现。一年时,脱落的牙齿重新生长,记忆力增强,身体轻盈,仿佛能随风日行走数百里。两年时,常让人吃饱但食量减少,七十岁以上的人服用后反而显得年轻。三年时,肠道化为筋髓,能预见未来不明之事。四年时,常饱而不进食,自见仙人景象。三十岁以下的人服用不停,容颜一定保持青春不变。药物的制备必须在洁净的房间中进行,不能让女人、孝子、鸡犬等看到。妇女服用也很好。
治疗五脏虚劳导致的小腹部拘急胀热的方剂:
A prescription for treating men suffering from deep cold pain in the bones due to deficiency and exhaustion (Xu Lao), insufficient Yang Qi, and itching or burning pain in the genital area.
Cishi (Magnetite), Shihu (Dendrobium Stem), Zexie (Alisma Rhizome), Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia Root) (each 5 liang); Duzhong (Eucommia Bark), Guixin (Cinnamon Twig) (each 4 liang); Tianxiong (Aconitum Lateralis Radix Preparata), Sangjisheng (Taxillus Chinensis), Tiandong (Asparagus Cochinchinensis Root), Huangqin (Scutellaria Root) (quantities missing in original text, typically implied equal).
The above twelve medicinal materials are crushed, soaked in four dou of wine, and taken three ge at a time, gradually increasing to five ge, administered twice daily. Alternatively, Magnetite can be soaked alone and taken.
A prescription for treating various diseases in both men and women caused by the Five Exhaustions and Seven Injuries, characterized by emaciation, wasting and thinness, stubborn cold due to wind and deficiency, shortness of breath and lack of strength, pallor, inability to move, bitter taste in the mouth and dry throat, restless sleep, nightmares, and fear.
Baishiying (White Quartz Crystal) (crushed like rice grains, decocted with nine sheng of strong wine in a copper vessel over low heat until three sheng remain, stirred constantly with a bamboo spatula, strained and clarified); Zi Shiyin (Purple Quartz Crystal) (prepared similarly, each 1 jin); Dihuang (Rehmannia Root); Baimi (White Honey); Su (Ghee); Taoren (Peach Seed); Shihu (Dendrobium Stem) (5 liang); Baiziren (Biota Seed), Yuanzhi (Polygala Root), Fuling (Poria), Shanzhuyu (Cornus Fruit), Renshen (Ginseng Root), Maidong (Ophiopogon Tuber), Guixin (Cinnamon Twig), Ganjiang (Dried Ginger), Wuweizi (Schisandra Fruit), Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome), Rongshu (Cistanche Stem), Gancao (Licorice Root), Tianxiong (Aconitum Lateralis Radix Preparata), Baizhi (Angelica Dahurica Root), Xixin (Asarum Root), Chuanxiong (Ligusticum Chuanxiong Rhizome), Huangqin (Scutellaria Root), Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia Root), Shanyao (Dioscorea Rhizome) (each 2 liang).
The above twenty-four medicinal materials are processed and sifted, then added to the decoction. If the liquid is insufficient, add wine to make up the volume. Continue decocting until it reaches a consistency suitable for making pills. Form into pills the size of wu zi (Chinese honeylocust seeds). Take twenty pills with wine each time, three times a day, gradually increasing to forty pills as the maximum dose. If pill-making is not feasible, the decoction can be taken directly. This formula enriches the body and makes the flesh firm.
Select fresh deer antlers from the current year; those connected to the brain top are superior. Those with cut marks at the base are also usable, but those with uneven bases are unsuitable. There are over one hundred prescriptions involving deer antler pills; this one stands out. It is said that Rongchengzi consumed this and achieved transcendence. To prepare this medicine, use five sets of deer antlers, or four, three, two, or one set per batch. First, remove the tip of one cun. The remaining part should be about seven to eight cun long. Cut along the natural shape, split into slices according to grip size, and suspend in a bamboo container within flowing water for ten nights. If flowing water is unavailable, soak in a clean basin filled with water, changing the water nightly. Then remove, peel off the wrinkled skin, and slice to obtain the white inner core. Soak in clear millet wash water for two nights. Dry after the first night, discard old water, spread on new silk, and dry thoroughly. Select carefully, removing impurities, coarse bone skin, and uneven slices. Soak in unadulterated fine wine in a large white porcelain vessel for two nights. The amount of wine and vessel size depend on the quantity of medicine. Place the medicine and wine in a clean pot. Initially boil with high heat for the duration of one meal, then switch to low heat for gentle simmering. When bubbles resemble crab eyes, stir slowly with a willow spatula (four chi long, three fingers wide) without stopping. Change persons if tired. Add fine wine occasionally until the mixture becomes a thick syrup. Decoction must begin at dawn and not exceed two nights. Observe if the residue dissolves into a稀胶 (thin glue-like consistency). Then add five sheng of cow milk and one jin of ghee, adding subsequent medicines gradually.
Milujiao (Deer Antler) (one strip, roasted until yellow and powdered, prepared together with other medicines), Binglang (Areca Seed), Tongcao (Tetrapanax Pith), Qin Jiao (Gentiana Macrophylla Root), Renshen (Ginseng Root), Gancao (Licorice Root), Tusizi (Cuscuta Seed), Rongshu (Cistanche Stem) (each 2 liang).
Crush the above into powder. If tonification is not required, these do not need to be decocted together. Simmer for another meal's duration until the mixture resembles thick porridge. Remove from heat, allow steam to dissipate, then mix in the powdered medicines evenly. Stir until cohesive. Wait until it becomes sticky enough to form pills. Store in a new vessel. Roll into pills the size of wu zi simultaneously by multiple hands. If simultaneous rolling is impossible, warm and roll gradually. If sticky, apply a little ghee to hands. Take thirty pills initially on an empty stomach with "Three Fruit Juice" (San Guo Jiang). If unavailable, take with wine. Increase by one pill daily up to fifty pills, taken twice daily. During the first one hundred days of intake, abstain from sexual intercourse. After one month of intake, internal ailments will expel themselves; mild diarrhea is normal and should not cause alarm. Subsequently, flatulence may increase, appetite improves, hearing and vision sharpen, heart and spirit are nourished, organs are stabilized, marrow is filled, waist and legs are regulated, allowing prolonged standing, blackening of white hair, and rejuvenation of appearance. For qi stagnation, add Zhishi (Bitter Orange) and Qingmuxiang (Aquilaria Wood), each increased by one da liang. If previously ingested cinnabar or realgar (Dan Shi), suppress and vent the effects using Sanhuang Wan (Three Yellows Pill) after meals. If drinking alcohol or eating wheat products causes dry mouth, coarse nasal breathing, or gritty eyes, drink honey water to stop symptoms. If persistent, add Sanhuang Wan to induce mild purgation. After such a reaction occurs once, regular maintenance dosing can begin. By two hundred days, facial wrinkles smooth out and luster returns. By one year, lost teeth regenerate, memory strengthens, body feels light, capable of traveling hundreds of miles with wind and sun. By two years, the body becomes full yet appetite decreases; those over seventy appear younger. By three years, intestines transform into sinew and marrow, granting foresight. By four years, one feels satiated without eating, perceives immortals. Those under thirty who take it continuously maintain youthful appearance. Preparation must occur in a pure room, excluding women, mourners, chickens, and dogs. Women may also benefit from taking it.
