凡是各种疾病即将痊愈时，体表的卫气和体内的气血在外部被消耗，脏腑的精气神在内部受到损伤，身体形体虚弱，疲倦乏力，这是正常现象。应当安心静养，调和脾胃是关键，要防止风寒侵袭，谨慎安排起居，戒除思虑恼怒，节制饮食，禁止房事劳损，消除妄念杂想，这些是至关重要的原则。如果违背了这些原则，即使是良医也难以取得疗效。不要像蜉蝣一样轻视生命，像飞蛾扑火一样自取灭亡，损害自己的身体啊！务必戒慎警惕，具体方法如下。
刚痊愈时，务必注意衣被的寒温适宜，如果太热，会导致口渴、心烦，助长虚热；如果太冷，则会让外邪再次侵入体内。
患伤寒或时行疫病后，身体凉爽、脉象缓和，适宜饮用青菜汤，以疏通残留的病邪；如果感觉腹部宽舒爽利，再饮用陈仓米清汤，以唤醒胃中的谷气；一两天后，可以进食少许稀粥，每天三到四次，或者四到五六次，千万不要过量。或者使用陈豆豉，或者食用清爽的食物入口，或者用清水煮白鲞（咸干鱼），蘸醋吃非常美妙。再逐渐进服活鲫鱼汤调理一百天，才能避免食复（因饮食不当导致的复发）和劳复（因劳累导致的复发）等症状。
进食后再次发热，应当停止进食谷物即可痊愈，服用调理脾胃的药物，切勿使用峻补、热性的药物，必须从缓处治疗，才能收到完全的效果。
剧烈疼痛时，忌食猪油、湿面、鸡肉、羊肉、油腻粘滞、煎炸炒制等食物，触犯这些会复发且难以治疗。
中风之后，忌服辛散香燥等药物，以及猪肉、羊肉、鹅肉、鸡肉、鱼腥、荞麦面、鸡蛋等导致气机阻滞发病的食物。
病后切忌房事劳损，触犯的话会导致舌头伸出数寸，死亡。
疟疾和痢疾之后，忌饱食，以及香甜、滑利、各种血制品、生冷、梨、瓜类等食物。
虚损喘咳骨蒸（阴虚潮热），忌用大热温补等药物，适宜服用补阴药，培养真元，或许才可以。
产后切忌寒凉等食物，即使在酷暑之日，也不适宜，世人多误用，以致伤害生命，特此提出。
痘疹之后，如果不善于调养护理，多导致危险危急，是因为疏忽保护的缘故。
凡是病后，就像水浸过的泥墙，已经干了之后，最怕重复冲激，再次触犯就无法挽救。现在列出食疗方在下面，作为保养身体者的帮助，并利于那些畏惧服药的人，以便于养老慈幼之用。
Whenever any disease is about to heal, the defensive Qi (Wei Qi) on the exterior and the blood and Qi internally are depleted outwardly, while the essence, Qi, and spirit of the Zang-Fu organs are damaged inwardly. The physical form becomes weak, fatigue and lack of strength ensue; this is the normal state. It is advisable to maintain peace of mind and rest quietly, with harmonizing the Spleen and Stomach as the priority. One must guard against wind-cold, be cautious in daily living, abstain from excessive thinking and anger, regulate diet, avoid sexual exertion, eliminate delusional thoughts; these are the crucial essentials. If violated, even a skilled physician will find it difficult to achieve success. Do not treat life and death lightly like mayflies, or harm your body like a moth flying into flames! Be vigilant, be vigilant. The examples follow below.
Upon initial recovery, one must ensure that clothing and bedding are appropriate for the temperature. If too hot, it causes thirst and mental restlessness, exacerbating deficient heat; if too cold, it allows external pathogens to re-enter the interior.
After contracting Cold Damage (Shanghan) or epidemic diseases, when the body is cool and the pulse is slow, it is suitable to consume vegetable soup to unblock residual pathogens. If one feels abdominal comfort and ease, then consume clear broth from aged stored rice to awaken the grain Qi in the Stomach. After one or two days, one may consume a small amount of porridge, three to four times a day, or four to six times, being careful not to overeat. Alternatively, use aged fermented soybeans (Chen Dou Chi), or consume refreshing foods, or boil white dried fish (Bai Xiang) in clear water, dipping it in vinegar is excellent. Gradually advance to live crucian carp soup for conditioning over one hundred days, so as to prevent symptoms such as food relapse (Shi Fu) and labor relapse (Lao Fu).
If fever recurs after eating, fasting from grains should lead to recovery. Take formulas that regulate the Spleen and Stomach. Do not use sudden tonification or hot medicines. Treatment must be gradual to achieve complete success.
In cases of severe pain, avoid pig fat, wet noodles, chicken, mutton, greasy and sticky foods, and fried or roasted items. Violating this leads to recurrence and is difficult to treat.
After stroke (Zhong Feng), avoid pungent, dispersing, aromatic, and drying medicines, as well as pork, mutton, goose, chicken, fishy odors, buckwheat noodles, eggs, and other substances that obstruct Qi and trigger disease.
Sexual exertion is strictly contraindicated after illness. Violating this can cause the tongue to protrude several inches, leading to death.
For labor-induced cough with fever, edema, and rapid breathing, a bland diet is recommended, avoiding salted foods.
After malaria and dysentery, avoid overeating, as well as sweet, slippery, blood-derived foods, raw/cold foods, pears, melons, and similar items.
For carbuncles and ulcers on the back (Yong Ju Fa Bei), the dietary taboos are the same as those for Cold Damage.
For deficiency damage with wheezing, coughing, and bone-steaming fever (Gu Zheng), avoid large-dose hot and warming tonics. It is suitable to take Yin-nourishing medicines to cultivate the True Yuan (True Origin), which may be effective.
Postpartum, cold and cooling foods are strictly prohibited. Even on scorching summer days, they are unsuitable. Many people mistakenly use them, causing harm to life; this is specifically highlighted here.
After smallpox/rash diseases, improper care often leads to critical danger due to neglect in protection.
Generally, after an illness, it is like a mud wall soaked in water; after it dries, it fears repeated impact. Repeated violation cannot be saved. Below are dietary treatment formulas provided to assist those who preserve their health, and to benefit those who fear taking medicine, facilitating elder care and nurturing the young.
