附子重量在一两三四钱之间，选择底部圆平、有莲花瓣状头部的附子。先准备五六碗童子尿，将附子埋在热草灰中半天，趁热切片，观察切面如果有白色星点，就在瓦片上烤熟，直到没有白色星点为止。如果急需使用，就直接在火上烤至黄色，使用也有效。大凡阳气脱陷，从子时到午时感到恶寒，未到亥时就发热，如果使用热的附子无效，必须用半生半熟的附子；如果仍然无效，急用时可用生附子一二剂，然后根据症状进行治疗。

Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata (Fuzi, 附子) weighing between one tael and three to four qian should be selected for its round, flat base and lotus-petal-like head. Prepare five or six bowls of urine from a healthy young boy (Tongbian, 童便). Bury the Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata in hot grass ash for half a day. While still warm, slice it. If white spots are visible on the cross-section, roast it on a tile until the white spots disappear. For urgent use, it may be roasted over fire until yellow; this is also effective. Generally, in cases of collapse and sinking of Yang Qi, chills occur from Zi hour to Wu hour, and fever arises before Hai hour. If heated Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata is ineffective, semi-raw and semi-cooked Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata should be used. If that is also ineffective, raw Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata (one or two doses) should be used urgently, followed by treatment based on the specific symptoms.
