《葛氏肘后》∶小儿新产出，未可与朱蜜，取甘草如中指节，炙碎，以水一合，煮取一合，以缠绵点儿口中，
可得一蚬壳止，儿当便吐胸中恶汁，儿智惠无病。
《千金方》∶洗浴断脐竟， 袍毕，与甘草汤。（方与葛氏同。）指以绵缠沾取，与儿吮之，得一蚬壳入腹止，儿当
快吐。如得吐则余药更不须与，若不得吐，可消息计。如饥渴，须臾更与之，若前所服及更与并不得吐者，但
稍稍与之，令尽此一合止。如得吐去恶汁，令儿心神智惠无病也。
《千金方》∶饮甘草汤一合尽都不吐者，是儿不含恶血耳。勿复与甘草汤，仍可与朱蜜，以镇心神、安魂魄也。
《小儿集验方》云∶凡小儿初生，必有恶汁留于胸。次若不消去，即胸膈壅塞，易生蕴热。惊痫、疮疖，皆
由此也。故小儿才生一腊之内，用好肥黄连数块捶碎，每少许浓，以绵包裹如奶头状，汤内浸成黄汁，时复拈
摭一、二点在小儿口内，即恶汁自下，乳食便美。其后，或间以朱蜜与之。若见恶汁以下即已，有只用空绵包，
别浸黄连蘸苦汁与之者。
《大观证类本草》注萧炳云∶小儿初生，与韭根汁灌之，即吐出恶水，令无病。
《本草食疗》∶初生孩子可捣韭根汁灌之，即吐出胸中恶血、永无病。
《圣惠》∶凡 袍儿讫吃生甘草后，暖水浸少韭子汁涂儿口唇上，干又涂，十数度止，不得令入口中。
《葛氏肘后》记载：新生儿刚出生时，不能立即给予朱砂蜜。应取如中指节大小的甘草，炙烤后捣碎，用一合水煎煮至剩下一合药液，用丝绵包裹蘸取少许点在婴儿口中，大约能容纳一个蚬壳的量即可停止，婴儿便会吐出胸中的恶浊汁液，从而智力健康无病。
《千金方》记载：洗浴并切断脐带完毕后，穿衣结束，给予甘草汤。（方剂组成与《葛氏肘后》相同）。用手指缠上丝绵蘸取药液，让婴儿吮吸，摄入约一个蚬壳的量入腹即止，婴儿应当会畅快呕吐。如果已经呕吐，则其余药物不再需要服用；如果未呕吐，可酌情调整剂量。若婴儿感到饥渴，过一会儿再喂给；如果之前服用的以及再次喂给的都未能引起呕吐，只需少量多次给予，直到喝完这一合药液为止。如果通过呕吐排除了恶浊汁液，能使婴儿心神安宁、智力健全无病。
《千金方》又载：如果饮下一合甘草汤后完全不呕吐，说明婴儿体内没有残留恶血。此时不必再给甘草汤，仍可给予朱砂蜜，以镇安心神、安定魂魄。
《小儿集验方》说：凡是新生儿初生，胸中必然留有恶浊汁液。如果不及时消除，就会导致胸膈部壅塞，容易滋生内热。惊风、癫痫、疮疖等疾病，都是由此引起的。所以新生儿出生一周内，选用优质肥厚的黄连数块，捶碎，每次取少量浓煎，用丝绵包裹成乳头状，在热水中浸泡成黄色汁液，不时捻取一二点滴入婴儿口中，恶浊汁液自然下行，乳汁和食物便能美味消化。此后，有时也可给予朱砂蜜。如果看到恶浊汁液排出即可停止；也有只用空丝绵包裹，另外浸泡黄连蘸取苦汁给婴儿使用的。
《大观证类本草》注引萧炳的话说：新生儿初生时，灌服韭菜根汁，即可吐出恶浊水液，使身体无病。
《本草食疗》记载：初生的孩子可以捣烂韭菜根取汁灌服，即可吐出胸中的恶血，终身无病。
《太平圣惠方》记载：凡是给婴儿穿衣完毕并吃下生甘草后，用温水浸泡少许韭菜子汁，涂抹在婴儿嘴唇上，干了再涂，重复十几次即可停止，不要让汁液进入口中。
*Ge Shi Zhou Hou* records: When a newborn is just delivered, Zhusha Mi (Cinnabar Honey) should not be administered immediately. Take Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao, 甘草) the size of a middle finger joint, roast it until charred and crush it. Boil with one *he* (a traditional Chinese unit of volume) of water until reduced to one *he*. Dip a piece of silk floss into the decoction and apply small drops to the infant's mouth. Stop when approximately the volume of one clam shell has been applied. The infant will then vomit the noxious fluid from the chest, ensuring sound intellect and freedom from disease.
*Qian Jin Fang* records: After bathing and cutting the umbilical cord, and after dressing is complete, administer Gancao Tang (Licorice Decoction). (The formula is the same as in *Ge Shi Zhou Hou*). Wrap a finger with silk floss, dip it into the medicine, and let the infant suckle. Stop when about one clam shell's worth enters the stomach; the infant should then experience a comfortable vomiting. If vomiting occurs, no further medication is needed. If vomiting does not occur, adjust the dosage accordingly. If the infant is hungry or thirsty, offer it again after a short while. If neither the initial dose nor subsequent doses induce vomiting, give it slowly in small amounts until the entire *he* is consumed. If the noxious fluid is expelled through vomiting, the infant's mind and spirit will be calm, and intellect will be healthy without disease.
*Qian Jin Fang* also states: If the infant does not vomit after consuming one *he* of Gancao Tang, it indicates that there is no residual evil blood in the body. Do not administer more Gancao Tang. Instead, Zhusha Mi (Cinnabar Honey) may still be given to settle the heart-mind and anchor the soul.
*Xiao Er Ji Yan Fang* states: Upon birth, every infant inevitably retains noxious fluid in the chest. If this is not eliminated promptly, it leads to stagnation and fullness in the chest and diaphragm, predisposing the infant to internal heat. Conditions such as fright convulsions, epilepsy, sores, and boils all arise from this. Therefore, within the first week of life, select several pieces of high-quality, plump Huanglian Rhizoma Coptidis (Huanglian, 黄连), crush them, and decoct a small amount strongly. Wrap the herb in silk floss shaped like a nipple, soak it in hot water to extract a yellow juice, and occasionally squeeze one or two drops into the infant's mouth. The noxious fluid will naturally descend, and milk and food will be digested well. Subsequently, Zhusha Mi (Cinnabar Honey) may be given intermittently. Treatment stops once the noxious fluid is expelled. Some methods use only empty silk floss wrapped around another herb, soaked in Huanglian to extract bitter juice for application.
*Bao Guan Zheng Lei Ben Cao*, citing Xiao Bing, notes: Administering juice from Jiu Gen Root Allii Tuberosi (Jiu Gen, 韭根) to a newborn induces the expulsion of noxious fluids, preventing disease.
*Ben Cao Shi Liao* records: For a newborn, crushing and administering juice from Jiu Gen Root Allii Tuberosi (Jiu Gen, 韭根) expels evil blood from the chest, ensuring lifelong health.
*Tai Ping Sheng Hui Fang* records: After dressing the infant and administering raw Gancao Radix et Rhizoma (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 甘草), soak a small amount of Jiu Zi Seed Allii Tuberosi (Jiu Zi, 韭子) in warm water. Apply the juice to the infant's lips. Reapply when dry, repeating ten or more times. Ensure the juice does not enter the mouth.
