治风寒湿痹，麻木不仁。
川乌（生，去皮尖，为末）
上用香熟白米作粥半碗，药末四钱，同米用漫火熬熟，稀薄，不要稠，下姜汁一茶脚许
，蜜三大匙，搅匀，空腹啜之，温为佳。如是中湿，更入薏苡仁末二钱，增米作一中碗服。
此粥大治手足四肢不随，痛重不能举者，有此证预服防之。左氏云∶风淫末疾。谓四肢
为四末也，脾主四肢，风邪客于肝则淫脾，脾为肝克，故疾在末。谷气引风湿之药，径入脾
经，故四肢得安，比阳剂极有力。予常制此方以授人，服者良验。
治湿伤肾，肾不养肝，肝自生风，遂成风湿，流注四肢筋骨，或入在肩 ，肌肉疾痛，
渐入在指中，薏苡仁散。

治疗风寒湿邪导致的痹证，表现为肢体麻木、感觉迟钝。
川乌（生品，去除皮和尖端，研磨成粉末）
取适量熟透的白米煮成半碗粥，加入药末四钱，与米一同用微火熬煮至熟，粥要稀薄，不要稠厚，再加入约一茶匙的姜汁，三汤匙蜂蜜，搅拌均匀，空腹服用，以温热为宜。如果是中湿证，再加入薏苡仁末二钱，增加米的用量煮成一碗服用。
这碗粥对治疗手足四肢活动不利、疼痛沉重无法抬起的症状效果显著，有此症状者可预先服用以预防。左丘明说：“风邪容易侵害四肢末端。”所谓“四末”即指四肢。脾主司四肢，风邪侵袭肝脏则会影响脾脏，脾被肝克制，所以疾病表现在四肢末端。谷物的气机引导风湿药物，直接进入脾经，因此四肢得以安宁，此方比一般的温阳药剂效力更强。我常配制此方传授给人，服用者疗效良好。
治疗湿气损伤肾脏，肾不能滋养肝脏，肝自行化生内风，从而形成风湿，流注于四肢筋骨，或者侵入肩部肌肉，导致疼痛，逐渐蔓延至手指间，使用薏苡仁散。

以上药材各半两）
将上述药材研磨成细末。每次服用二钱，空腹及睡前用酒调服，每日三次。
治疗五种痹证，腿部及手臂间发作位置不定，这是由于脾胃虚弱，卫气不能温煦分肉（肌肉间隙），导致风寒湿邪滞留所致。

To treat Bi syndrome caused by Wind-Cold-Dampness, characterized by numbness and insensitivity of the limbs.
Chuanwu (Raw, peel and tip removed, ground into powder)
Take well-cooked white rice to make half a bowl of porridge. Add four qian of the herbal powder to the rice. Simmer over low heat until cooked. The porridge should be thin, not thick. Add approximately one teaspoon of ginger juice and three tablespoons of honey. Stir well. Drink on an empty stomach; it is best when warm. If the condition involves Dampness invasion, add two qian of Coicis Semen powder and increase the amount of rice to cook one full bowl for consumption.
This porridge is highly effective in treating inability to move the hands, feet, and four limbs, and severe pain making lifting difficult. Those with these symptoms can take it prophylactically. Zuo Qiuming stated: "Wind pathogenic factors easily cause diseases in the extremities." The term "four extremities" refers to the four limbs. The Spleen governs the four limbs. When Wind pathogenic factors invade the Liver, they affect the Spleen. Since the Spleen is controlled by the Liver, the disease manifests in the extremities. The Qi of grain guides the Wind-Damp dispelling herbs directly into the Spleen meridian, thus calming the four limbs. This formula is more potent than typical Yang-warming agents. I often prepare this prescription to share with others, and those who take it show excellent efficacy.
To treat Kidney injury by Dampness, where the Kidney fails to nourish the Liver, causing the Liver to generate internal Wind, resulting in Wind-Dampness that flows into the tendons and bones of the four limbs, or enters the shoulder muscles, causing pain that gradually spreads to the fingers. Use Yiyiren San (Coix Seed Powder).

(Above herbs are each ban liang)
Grind all ingredients into a fine powder. Take two qian per dose, mixed with wine, taken on an empty stomach and before bedtime. Three doses daily.
To treat five types of Bi syndrome, occurring intermittently in the legs and arms. This is due to deficiency of the Spleen and Stomach, where Wei Qi (Defensive Qi) fails to warm the muscle spaces, allowing Wind-Cold-Dampness to adhere.
Xiaochuanxiong (Rhizoma Chuanxiong) Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata) (processed, remove peel and umbilicus) Huangqi (Astragali Radix) (honey-fried) Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix) (remove woody core) Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) (wash, remove rhizome, slice thinly, dry by baking) Shudihuang (Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata) (sprinkle with wine, steam nine times, sun-dry nine times, bake, weigh) Guixin (Cinnamomi Ramulus) (do not expose to open fire) Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix) (remove sprouts, wash clean) Gancao (Licorice Root) (honey-fried, above herbs in equal proportions)
Grind all ingredients into a coarse powder. Take four qian per dose. Add one dan and a half of water, three slices of fresh ginger, and one jujube. Decoct together until three-tenths of the liquid remains. Strain off the dregs. Take before meals, three times daily. Regular use does not cause stagnation or heat, and additionally eliminates accumulated cold.
