钟乳石(数量不限)
选取韶州产的钟乳石,不论厚薄,只要颜色明净有光泽的即可用于炼制,唯独黄色和红色的不能使用。若要炼制,也不限制数量,将钟乳石放入金或银器中,然后将金银器置于大锅的水中,沉入锅底煮制,保持水像鱼眼一样微微沸腾的状态,水减少时就添加。如果是薄的钟乳石,煮三天三夜即可;如果是粗肥浓厚的管状钟乳石,则煮七天七夜,等到钟乳石颜色变为黄白色即为熟透。如果怀疑未熟,继续煮,煮满十天最佳。煮好后取出金银碗,将锅内煮钟乳石的浑浊黄水倒掉,不要让人服用,服用必会损伤咽喉,伤害肝肺,导致头痛,并伴有持续腹泻。如果有误服者,吃猪肉即可痊愈。倒掉这黄水后,再加入清水,按照之前的方法再煮,经过半天左右取出,如果水色清澈不变即停止,此时钟乳石已无毒。然后在瓷钵中,用玉锤加水研磨。瓷钵和玉锤外面需套上白色的细绢袋,袋口稍长以便操作,使锤子能转动,同时上下通气,每天加水搅拌使其均匀,不要让锤子接触钵底,然后封好系紧绢袋,自己做好标记,不要让人打开,一是避免纤尘落入,二是防止研磨的人偷吃。研磨时感觉干涩,说明水已耗尽,就再加水,始终保持像稀米汤一样的状态,细的钟乳粉都浮在上面,粗的沉在下面,还要围绕锤钵四边研磨,否则粗细不均匀。因此,每天必须打开一两次,搅拌刮匀,不要让锤子碰到钵壁,这样才能研磨均匀熟透,避免粗细不均。研磨到四五天,状如乳汁,用手揩拭观察,状如书中蠹虫分泌的腻状物即成。自然光洁白,便用水冲洗它,不随水流落的即为熟成。如果遇水就落下的就是未成,需要继续研磨,以不落水为限度。熟成后,澄清取上层沉淀物晒干。每次称取半两,分为三次服用,用温酒调服,空腹服用,并根据病情轻重增减剂量。也可以混合制作成钟乳丸或散剂。

Zhongru (Gypsum Silicosum / Stalactite, quantity unrestricted)
Select Zhongru from Shaozhou. Regardless of thickness, only those that are clear, clean, and lustrous are suitable for refining; yellow and red varieties must not be used. There is no limit on quantity for refining. Place the Zhongru in a gold or silver vessel, then submerge this vessel in a large cauldron filled with water. Boil gently, maintaining a state resembling "fish-eye" bubbles. Add water as it evaporates. If the Zhongru is thin, three days and nights suffice; if it is thick, dense, and tubular, boil for seven days and nights until the color turns yellow-white, indicating it is cooked. If there is doubt about whether it is fully cooked, continue boiling; ten days is optimal. After boiling, remove the gold or silver bowl. Discard the turbid yellow water from the cauldron used for boiling the Zhongru; do not allow anyone to consume it, as ingestion will damage the throat, injure the liver and lungs, cause headache, and lead to persistent diarrhea. Those who ingest it by mistake can be cured by eating pork. After discarding this yellow water, add fresh clear water and boil again as before for about half a day, then remove. When the water remains clear and unchanged, stop; the Zhongru is now non-toxic. Then, grind it in a porcelain mortar using a jade pestle with water. The mortar and pestle should be enclosed in a white fine silk bag with a slightly long opening to facilitate movement and ventilation. Stir daily with added water to ensure uniformity, ensuring the pestle does not touch the bottom of the mortar. Seal the silk bag tightly, mark it personally, and prevent others from opening it to avoid dust contamination and theft during grinding. When the mixture feels dry and astringent, the water is exhausted; add more water, maintaining a consistency like thin rice wash. Fine particles float on top, while coarse ones sink at the bottom. Grind around the edges of the mortar and pestle to ensure uniformity. Open and stir once or twice daily to mix thoroughly, avoiding contact between the pestle and the mortar walls, to achieve even refinement. After four to five days of grinding, when the texture resembles milk, check by rubbing: if it appears like the secretion of bookworms (white fish grease), it is complete. It should naturally be bright and white. Wash it with water; if it does not dissolve and fall away with the water, it is fully refined. If it falls away upon contact with water, it is incomplete and requires further grinding until it no longer dissolves. After completion, clarify and sun-dry the sediment. Take half a liang per dose, divided into three servings, mixed with warm wine and taken on an empty stomach. Adjust dosage according to the severity of the condition. It can also be compounded into Zhongru Pills or Powders.
