婴童在胎，禀阴阳五行之气以生成，五脏六腑百骸之体悉具，必借胎液以滋养之，受气既足，自然分娩，初离母体，
口有液毒，啼声未出，急用软绵裹指，拭去口中恶汁，虽是良法；然仓卒之际，或有不及如法者。古人有黄连法、朱蜜
法、甘草法，用之殊佳，免使恶物咽下，伏之于心，遇天行时气，久热不除，乃乘于心，心主血脉，得热而散，流溢于
胃，而胃主肌肉，发出于外，故成疮疹之候，世之长幼，无有可免者。若根据初生拭口之法，得免痘疹之患，或有时气侵
染，只出肤疮细疹，易为调理，亦孩童之幸也。杨氏云∶初生拭口不前，恶秽入腹，则腹满气短，不能饮乳者，宜用茯
苓丸加减治之。又法下胎毒，临产落草时，浓煎淡豉汁服极好，不可与辰砂、黄连、轻粉等。
朱蜜法（葛氏肘后方） 小儿初生，先用黄连甘草法拭口，吐其恶汁，稍时更与朱蜜，定魄安神。
朱砂（一大豆许）
上细研，以蜜一蚬壳许，和朱砂抹口中，非独镇心安神，能解恶毒之物，一生免痘疮之患。
黄连法 临月用黄连细切，捶碎绵裹，百沸汤泡拭口。
甘草法 预以甘草细切少许，产卧时以绵裹沸汤泡盏内，盖定。收生之际，急以软绵裹指，蘸甘草汁拭其口，
次用黄连法、朱蜜法。
牛黄法 与朱蜜同，少加牛黄，益肝胆，除热，定精神，止惊邪，辟恶气，除小儿百病。
茯苓丸（直指方） 治婴儿初生，其声未发，急以手拭其口，令恶血净尽，不得下咽，则无他病；稍迟恶秽入
腹，则腹满气短，不能饮乳，或胎中受寒，则令儿腹痛不乳。
赤茯苓 黄连（冷证去此，加芍药） 枳壳（炒）
上等分为末，炼蜜丸如梧子大，每丸乳汁开下。
婴儿在母胎中，禀受阴阳五行之气而生长发育，五脏六腑及全身骨骼形体都已具备，必须依靠胎液来滋养。当元气充足后，自然分娩。刚离开母体时，口中存有液毒，啼哭之声尚未发出，应立即用柔软的棉絮包裹手指，擦拭去口中的恶浊汁液，这虽然是好方法；但在匆忙之际，有时可能来不及按规定操作。古人有黄连法、朱蜜法、甘草法，使用这些方法效果很好，可以避免恶物咽下，潜伏在心。若遇到流行性时气（传染病），导致长期发热不退，邪气便会乘虚侵犯心脏。心主血脉，受热则气血散乱，流溢于胃；胃主肌肉，邪气发于体表，因此形成疮疹的病症，世间无论长幼，都难以避免。如果按照初生拭口的方法操作，就能免除痘疹的祸患；即使有时被时气感染，也只会出现肤表细碎的疮疹，容易调理，这也是孩童的幸运。杨氏说：初生时如果不及时拭口，恶秽之物进入腹部，就会导致腹部胀满、气短，无法吃奶，适宜用茯苓丸加减治疗。另一种方法是给胎儿下胎毒，在临产落地时，浓煎淡豆豉汁服用极好，不可给予辰砂、黄连、轻粉等药物。
朱蜜法（出自葛洪《肘后备急方》）：小儿刚出生，先用黄连甘草法擦拭口腔，吐出恶浊汁液，过一会儿再喂服朱蜜，以安定魂魄、安神。
朱砂（用量如一大豆大小）
将朱砂细细研磨，取一蚬壳大小的蜂蜜，与朱砂调和后涂抹在婴儿口中，不仅能镇心安神，还能解除恶毒之物，使孩子一生免除痘疮的祸患。
黄连法：临近预产期时，将黄连细细切碎，捶碎后用绵布包裹，用滚开的热水浸泡后用来擦拭口腔。
甘草法：预先将少许甘草细细切碎，在产妇待产或卧床时，用绵布包裹放入杯中，用沸水冲泡并盖好。在接生时，急忙用软绵包裹手指，蘸取甘草汁擦拭婴儿口腔，随后再用黄连法、朱蜜法。
牛黄法：与朱蜜法类似，只是少量加入牛黄，可以补益肝胆，清除热邪，安定精神，制止惊风邪气，辟除恶气，消除小儿的各种疾病。
茯苓丸（出自《直指方》）：治疗婴儿刚出生，哭声未发时，急忙用手擦拭其口腔，让恶血排净，不得咽下，这样就不会有其他疾病；如果稍晚，恶秽之物进入腹部，就会导致腹部胀满、气短，不能喝奶；或者是胎中受寒，会导致婴儿腹痛而不愿吃奶。
赤茯苓 黄连（若是寒证去掉此药，加芍药） 枳壳（炒制）
以上药材等分研为末，用炼蜜制成梧桐子大小的丸剂，每次用乳汁化开送服一丸。
During gestation, the infant develops and grows by inheriting the Qi of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, Water). The five Zang organs, six Fu organs, and all skeletal structures are fully formed. It must rely on amniotic fluid for nourishment. Once the vital energy is sufficient, natural delivery occurs. Upon leaving the maternal body, there is liquid toxin in the mouth, and the cry has not yet emerged. One should urgently use soft cotton wrapped around a finger to wipe away the foul juices from the mouth. Although this is a good method, in hurried situations, it may not be done according to proper procedures. Ancients had methods using Huanglian (Coptis Rhizome), Zhumi (Cinnabar Honey), and Gancao (Licorice Root), which were very effective in preventing foul matter from being swallowed and lodging in the Heart. If one encounters epidemic seasonal pathogens (Tianxing Shiqi) leading to prolonged fever that does not subside, the pathogen attacks the Heart. The Heart governs the blood vessels; when affected by heat, the blood scatters and overflows into the Stomach. The Stomach governs the muscles, and the pathogen manifests externally, resulting in sores and rashes. This affliction is unavoidable for people of all ages. If the method of wiping the newborn's mouth is followed, one can avoid the disaster of smallpox/variolae. Even if infected by seasonal pathogens, only minor skin sores and fine rashes will appear, which are easy to manage, bringing fortune to the child. Yang Shi stated: If the mouth is not wiped immediately after birth, foul impurities enter the abdomen, causing abdominal distension, shortness of breath, and an inability to suckle milk. In such cases, Fuling Wan (Poria Pill) with modifications should be used. Another method for expelling fetal toxins is to administer strongly brewed Danchi (Light Fermented Soybean) juice upon delivery, which is excellent. One must not give Chen Sha (Cinnabar), Huanglian, or Qingfen (Calomel).
Zhumi Method (from Ge Hong's *Zhouhou Beiji Fang*): For a newborn, first use the Huanglian-Gancao method to wipe the mouth and expel foul juices. After a while, administer Zhumi to settle the soul and calm the spirit.
Zhusha (Cinnabar) (amount equivalent to one large soybean):
Grind the Cinnabar finely. Mix with honey (amount equivalent to one clam shell) and apply to the infant's mouth. This not only settles the Heart and calms the spirit but also resolves toxic substances, preventing variolae throughout life.
Huanglian Method: Near term, finely chop Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma), crush it, wrap it in cotton, soak it in boiling water, and use it to wipe the mouth.
Gancao Method: Finely chop a small amount of Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) in advance. During labor or bed rest, wrap it in cotton, place it in a cup, and steep in boiling water, covering it tightly. At the time of delivery, urgently wrap a finger in soft cotton, dip it in the Gancao juice, and wipe the infant's mouth. Then proceed with the Huanglian method and the Zhumi method.
Niuhuang Method: Similar to the Zhumi method, but with a small addition of Niuhuang (Bovis Calculus). This benefits the Liver and Gallbladder, clears heat, stabilizes the spirit, stops convulsions, repels evil qi, and eliminates various diseases in infants.
Fuling Wan (Poria Pill) (from *Zhizhi Fang*): Treats infants at birth whose cries have not yet emerged. Urgently wipe their mouths by hand to ensure all foul blood is cleared and not swallowed; otherwise, no other illnesses will arise. If delayed, foul impurities enter the abdomen, causing abdominal distension, shortness of breath, and inability to suckle. Or, if cold was contracted in the womb, it causes abdominal pain and refusal to suckle.
Chifuling (Red Poria), Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma) (remove this if the pattern is Cold, add Baishao/Paeoniae Radix Alba), Zhike (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus) (stir-fried).
Grind the above herbs equally into powder. Form pills using refined honey, sized like wu-tzu (mulberry seeds). Administer one pill dissolved in breast milk each time.
