口吞之。辄琢齿二七过。如此者三乃止。名曰练精。又云。咽之三过乃止。补养虚劳。令人
壮强。
夫虚劳惊悸者。心气不足。心下有停水也。心藏神。其主脉。若劳伤血脉。致心气不足。
因为邪气所乘。则令人精神惊惕。悸动不定。若水停心下。水气乘心。亦令悸也。

养生方说每天早晨服用玉泉。能使人下肢强壮、面色红润。去除体内寄生虫并坚固牙齿。玉泉,就是口中的唾液。早晨起床前先用清水漱口,然后吞咽唾液。接着叩击牙齿十四次。像这样重复三次就停止。这种方法叫做“练精”。又说,吞咽唾液九次后停止。可以补养虚劳,使人身体强壮。
至于虚劳惊悸这种病证,是因为心气不足,心下有停水(水饮停滞于心下)。心藏神,主司血脉。如果劳伤血脉,导致心气不足,因为邪气乘虚而入,就会让人精神惊恐惕惧,心跳悸动不安。如果水饮停滞在心下,水气上凌于心,也会引起心悸。

Yangsheng Fang (Prescriptions for Nourishing Life) states that taking Yuquan (Jade Spring, i.e., saliva) every morning can strengthen the lower limbs, improve complexion, expel parasites, and solidify teeth. Yuquan refers to saliva in the mouth. Before rising in the morning, rinse the mouth with water and then swallow the saliva. Next, tap the teeth fourteen times. Repeat this process three times before stopping. This method is called "Lianjing" (Refining Essence). It is also said that swallowing saliva nine times before stopping can nourish deficiency consumptive disease (Xulao), making the person strong.
Regarding the condition of Xulao Jingji (Deficiency Consumptive Disease with Palpitations and Fright), it is caused by insufficiency of Heart Qi and the retention of fluid (Shuiyin) below the Heart. The Heart stores the Spirit (Shen) and governs the vessels and blood. If laborious strain damages the vessels and blood, leading to insufficiency of Heart Qi, evil pathogens may take advantage of this deficiency, causing mental fright, apprehension, and restless palpitations. If fluid retention occurs below the Heart, the pathogenic factor of fluid may assault the Heart, also resulting in palpitations.
