凡是气胀和水胀,用干燥的公鸡粪便一升,炒至焦黄色,以去除火毒,研成细末。取水三升,煮沸后用药渣过滤,每次服用一杯,调入木香和槟榔的细末五分。这是治疗中满蛊毒的奇特良方。
治疗食积胀和气胀,用莱菔子一两,研成细末,用开水调匀并滤出汁液。将砂仁一两浸入该汁液中,浸泡一夜;然后将砂仁炒干,再次浸泡,如此反复共浸泡七次。最后将砂仁研成细末,每次服用一钱,用米汤送服。
凡是小儿脾虚,饮食减少,面色发黄,肌肉消瘦,容易导致伤食、腹胀、泄泻等症状。
枳术丸:治疗小儿没有外感风热,能补益脾虚,消除积滞。长期服用可使饮食自然强健,外患不生,百病皆除。
配方:焦白术(四两)、枳壳(一两)、蜂蜜(五两)。
以上药物研成细末,用炼过的蜂蜜捣和制成丸药,大小如梧桐子,每日用米饮化开服用。
凡是小儿脾胃不强,饮食减少,中气虚弱,面色发黄,肌肉消瘦,体内有白虫,或者容易伤食,且没有外在症状的,我常用八仙糕来治疗:
配方:党参、茯苓、建莲(去心)、芡实、薏苡仁、扁豆(炒制)、榧子(去壳)、谷芽(各一两)。
一同炒黄,共同研成细末,加入白糖半斤,每次服用二钱,用开水调下。
另一方案是参苓白术散(见泄泻门章节)。如果有虫积,加使君子肉、鹤虱;虫重者加芜荑、雷丸;有食积者,加炒黄的焦山楂、鸡内金,重者加谷虫、枳壳,需根据小儿体质的虚实进行调整;血虚者加熟地黄、当归,这些药材加入八仙糕中也可以。
千金肥儿饼
婴儿常缺乏乳汁,饮食不消化停驻。脾胃一旦受损,呕吐和腹泻同时发生。痰嗽加重导致气喘,热积引发疳积惊风。面色发黄,肌肉消瘦枯槁,腹部胀大,肚皮下青筋暴露。婴儿焦躁啼哭,母亲心中痛苦伤情。我怀着深切的爱幼之心,选用莲子、茯苓、芡实、怀山药、扁豆、薏苡仁,以上各四两。神曲、麦芽、陈皮、党参、使君子、山楂、炙甘草,这六味各二两,古糯米二升。将药和米都研成细末,用布包裹在蒸笼内蒸熟。加入白糖一斤半,调和制成饼状。每次吃两三块饼,各种疾病即可安宁。这是养育儿童的王道良药,价值堪比千金。
For abdominal distension caused by Qi stagnation or water retention, use one sheng (approx. 1 liter) of dried rooster feces. Stir-fry until scorched yellow to eliminate "fire toxicity," then grind into a fine powder. Add three sheng (approx. 3 liters) of water, bring to a boil, and filter through cloth. Take one cup per dose, mixed with five fen (approx. 2.5 grams) of fine powder prepared from Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix) and Binglang (Arecae Semen). This is a miraculous prescription for treating middle-fullness and gu-toxin.
To treat abdominal distension caused by food stagnation or Qi stagnation, use one liang (approx. 37.5 grams) of Laifuzi (Radish Seed), grind it into a fine powder, mix with boiling water, stir well, and filter to obtain the juice. Soak one liang of Sharen (Amomi Fructus) in this juice overnight. Then, stir-fry the Sharen until dry, soak again, and repeat this cycle of soaking and frying seven times in total. Finally, grind the Sharen into a fine powder. Take one qian (approx. 3.75 grams) per dose, washed down with rice soup.
In cases of pediatric Spleen deficiency, there is reduced appetite, sallow complexion, and emaciation, which predisposes the child to injuries from food, abdominal distension, and diarrhea.
Zhizhu Wan (Immature Bitter Orange and Atractylodes Pill): Treats children who have no external contraction of Wind-Heat; it tonifies Spleen deficiency and resolves accumulations. Long-term consumption naturally strengthens digestion, prevents external pathogens, and eliminates various diseases.
Formula: Jiaozhu (Stir-fried Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae) (4 liang), Zhike (Immature Bitter Orange) (1 liang), Fengmi (Honey) (5 liang).
Grind the above ingredients into a fine powder. Mix with refined honey to form pills the size of Sophora seeds. Take daily, dissolved in rice drink.
For children with weak Spleen and Stomach, reduced appetite, deficient Middle Qi, sallow complexion, emaciation, presence of white roundworms, susceptibility to food injury, and absence of external symptoms, I commonly use Baxian Gao (Eight Immortals Cake) for treatment:
Formula: Tiaoshen (Codonopsis Radix), Fuling (Poria), Jianlian (Nelumbinis Semen, pipped), Qianshi (Euryales Semen), Yiren (Coicis Semen), Biandou (Lablab Album Semina, stir-fried), Feizi (Torreya Seed), Guya (Milii Germen) (each 1 liang).
Stir-fry together until yellow, grind into a fine powder, add half a jin (approx. 500 grams) of white sugar. Take two qian per dose, mixed with boiling water.
Another formula is Shenling Baizhu San (see Diarrhea section). If there are intestinal parasites, add Shijunzi Rou (Ardisiae Semen) and Heshi (Caryopteridis Folium); if the infestation is severe, add Wuyi (Chuanxi Fructus) and Leiwan (Omphalia Lapidea). If there is food stagnation, add Jiaozha (Stir-fried Crataegi Fructus) and Ji Neijin (Galli Gigerii Endothelium Corneum); if severe, add Guchong (Trogoderma Larva) and Zhike. Adjust according to the child's constitutional deficiency or excess. For Blood deficiency, add Shudihuang (Prepared Rehmanniae Radix) and Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix); these additions can also be incorporated into Baxian Gao.
Qianjin Fei'er Bing (Thousand-Gold Child-Nourishing Cake)
Infants often lack milk, and food digestion is sluggish. Once the Spleen and Stomach are damaged, vomiting and diarrhea occur simultaneously. Phlegm-cough worsens into wheezing; heat accumulation leads to malnutrition and convulsions. The face becomes sallow, muscles become emaciated and wasted; the abdomen distends with visible blue veins on the belly. The infant cries anxiously; the mother suffers with grief. My heart feels deeply for the young; I select Lianzi (Nelumbinis Semen), Fuling (Poria), Qianshi (Euryales Semen), Huaishanyao (Dioscoreae Hypoglaucae Rhizoma), Biandou (Lablab Album Semina), and Yiyiren (Coicis Semen), each four liang. Shenqu (Massa Medicata Fermentata), Maiya (Hordei Fructus Germinatus), Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Tiaoshen (Codonopsis Radix), Shijunzi (Ardisiae Semen), Shanzha (Crataegi Fructus), and Zhigancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Preparata) are six herbs at two liang each, along with two sheng of ancient glutinous rice. Grind the medicine and rice into powder, wrap in cloth, and steam in a steamer. Add one jin and a half of white sugar, mix well to form cakes. Eat two or three cakes per serving, and all ailments will be pacified. This is the kingly way medicine for nourishing children, its value comparable to a thousand gold.
