雷公真君曰∶凡人忽然猝倒不知人,口中痰声作响,人以为中风也。谁知是气虚,若作风治,未
有不死者。盖因平日不慎女色,精亏以致气衰,又加起居不慎,故一时猝中,有似乎风之吹倒也。方
用培气汤∶人参一两,白芥子三钱,黄 一两,白术一两,茯神五钱,菖蒲二钱,附子一钱,半夏
二钱,水煎服。此方补气而不治风,消痰而不耗气,反有生理。一剂神定,二剂痰清,三剂全愈。
凡人有一时昏眩,跌倒,痰声如锯,奄乎不知人。此似
中风,而非中风,不可作真中风治也。虽然不可作中风治,但其中有阴虚阳虚之不同。阴虚者,肾
中之水虚,不能上交于心也。阳虚者,心中之火虚,不能下交于肾也。二症各不能使心气之清,往往
猝倒。更有肝气过燥,不能生心中之火而猝倒者,亦阴虚也。更有胃气过热,不能安心中之火而
猝倒者,亦阳虚也。辨明四症而治之,毋难起死回生。阴虚虽有二症,而治阴虚之法,止有一方,
名再苏丹。熟地二两,山茱萸一两,元参一两,白芥子三钱,柴胡一钱,菖蒲一钱,麦冬一两,北五
味一钱,茯神五钱,水煎服。一剂而苏醒,再剂而声出,十剂而全愈矣。此方之妙,全不去治中
风,竟大补其肾中之水,使真水速生,自能上通心中之气。尤妙滋肺中之气,不特去生肾水,更能制
伏肝木,不来下克脾土,则脾土运用,而化精尤易,至于茯神、菖蒲安心而通心窍,柴胡舒肝以生心
气,使白芥子易于消痰,使元参易于解火,实有妙用耳。
阳虚须用二方。一方治心中火虚,不能下交于肾也。方名交肾全生汤。人参一两,生半夏三
钱,附子三钱、菖蒲一钱,茯神五钱,生枣仁一两,白术一两,甘草一钱,水煎服。
下喉即痰净而声出矣,连报数剂,安然如故。此方妙在人参,白术、附子,半复同用,直补心脾
之气而祛痰,则气旺而神易归,阳生而痰易化矣。尤妙在用生枣仁一两,则心清不乱,况又有菖蒲、
茯神之通窍而安心,甘草之和中而调气乎,主见死症之变为生矣。一方名抑火安心丹。治胃热而不
能安火之症也。人参一两,石膏五钱,天花粉五钱,茯神一两,菖蒲一钱,麦冬三钱,元参一两,水
煎服。一剂而心定,再剂而火消,三剂病全愈矣。此方妙在用石膏于人参、茯苓之中,补心而泻胃火,
则火易消,气又不损,况天花粉之消痰,菖
蒲之开窍,又佐之各得其宜,有不定乱而为安乎。以上四症,虚实寒热不同,苟细悉之于
胸中,断不至临症之错误也。
更有中风之症,口渴引饮,眼红气喘,心脉洪大,舌不能言,又不可作气虚治之,倘作气虚
用参、 之药,去生亦远。此乃肾虚之极,不能上滋于心,心火亢极自焚,闷乱遂至身倒,
有如中风也。法当大补肾水,而佐之清心祛火之药,自然水足以济火。方用水火两治汤∶熟地一
两,山茱萸五钱,麦冬一两,五味子二钱,当归一两,生地一两,元参一两,茯神三钱,黄连二
钱,白芥子三钱,水煎服。此方补肾兼补肝,肝肾足而心血生;又得祛火之剂以相佐,火息而
痰消,喘平而舌利,何至有性命之忧哉。
心痛之症有二。一则寒气侵心而痛,一则火气焚心而痛。寒气侵心者,手足反温;火气焚
心者,手足反冷,以此辨之最得。寒痛与火痛不同,而能死人则一。吾传二方,一治寒,一治热,
无不效应如响。治寒痛者,名散寒止痛汤。良姜三钱,肉桂一钱,白术三钱,甘草一钱,草乌一
钱,苍术三钱,贯仲三钱。水煎服。此方妙在用管仲之祛邪,二术之祛湿,邪湿去而又加之散寒
之品,自然直中病根,去病如扫也。治热痛者,名泻火止痛汤。炒栀子三钱,甘草一钱,白芍
二两,半夏一钱,柴胡一钱,水煎服。此方妙在用白芍之多,泻水中之火,又如栀子直折其热,
而柴胡散邪,半夏遂痰;甘草和中,用之得当、故奏功如神也。二方皆一剂奏效,可以起死为生。
胁痛之症,乃肝病也。肝宜顺而不宜逆,逆则痛,痛而不止则死矣。故治胁痛必须平肝,平肝必
须补肾,肾水足而后肝气有养,不必治胁痛,胁痛自平也。方用肝肾兼资汤∶熟地一两,白芍二
两,当归一两,白芥子三钱,炒栀子一钱,
山茱萸五钱,甘草三钱,水煎服。此方补肝为君,补肾为佐,少加清火消痰之味,自然易于
奏功,一剂而痛定矣。
腹痛之最急者,绞肠痧也。世人惧用官料药,殊不知药能去病,何畏官料哉。吾有一方最妙,
不用官料之味,而功力十倍胜之。方用马粪一两,炒黑,入黄土一撮,微炒,用黄酒乘热服五钱。
一剂即痛去如失。盖马粪最善止痛,而治腹痛尤神。用黄上者,因马粪过行之迅速,得土而
少迟,且黄土与脾土同性相亲。引之入于病处,使马粪易于奏功也。况又用黄酒佐之,则无微不
达,非吐则泻,气一通而痛辄定矣。
阴阳脱症,乃男女贪欢,尽情纵送,以致兴酣畅美,一时精脱而不能禁也。少治之缓,则精尽
气散而死矣。夫症本脱精,自当益精以救脱,然精不能速生也。此时精已尽泄,惟有气存,然精尽
而气亦甚微,不急补其气,何以生元阳而长真水哉。方用生气救脱汤∶人参三两,附子一钱,黄
三两,熟地一两,麦冬一两,北五味一钱,水煎服。此方大用参、 ,补元阳于无何有之乡,加
熟地、麦冬以生精,加五味以止脱,加附子温经以走经络。庶几气旺而神全,精生而身旺也。倘不补
气而惟补精,则去生远矣。
人有小解之时,忽然昏眩而倒者,亦阴阳之气脱也。此症多得之入内过于纵欲。夫纵欲宜即亡
于男女之身,兹何以离男女而暴亡。盖亡于男女之身,乃泄精甚酣,乐极情浓使然也。离男女而亡
者,乃泄精未畅,平日肾气销亡,肾火衰弱,既泄其精,更加虚极,故气随小便而俱绝,二症虽异而
实同。救法亦不必大异,惟死于男女之身,桂,附可不必重
加,而脱于小便之顷,桂、附断须多用,至人参则二症皆当用至二三两。予有一方,名逢生丹。人参
二两,附子二钱,白术一两,菖蒲一钱,半夏一钱,生枣仁一两,水煎服。此方妙在人参急救其气,以
生于无何有之乡,加附子以追其散亡之气,菖蒲启心窍而还迷,半夏消痰饮而辟邪,尤妙用白
术以利腰脐而固肾气之脱,用枣仁以安魂魄而清心君之神,自然绝处逢生也。此方阴阳脱,
俱可兼治而收功。怔忡之症,扰扰不宁,心神恍惚,惊悸不已,此肝肾之虚,而心气之弱也,若作痰
治,往往杀人。盖肾虚以致心气不交,心虚以致肝气益耗,不治虚而反攻痰,安得不速死乎。吾有
一方,名宁静汤。人参一两,白术五钱,白芍一两,熟地一两,元参一两,生枣仁五钱,白芥子三
钱,麦冬五钱。水煎服。此方一派补心肝肾之药,三经同治,则阴阳之气自交,上下相资,怔忡自
定,而惊悸恍惚之症,亦尽除矣,怔忡治之不得法,多致危亡。此症乃因泄精之时,又得气恼,
更不慎色而成者也。似乎宜治肾为主,不知愈补肾而心气愈加怔忡者何故?因肝得气恼,肝气大旺。
补肾则肝气更旺,反去增心之火,故愈加怔忡也。然则心不可补乎?心不补则火不能息,补心而又
加去火之药,则得生矣。方用化忡丹∶人参二钱,麦冬五钱,生枣仁二钱,白芍五钱,元参五钱,
茯神五钱,黄连一钱,白芥子一钱,甘草五分,水煎服。此方妙在不去定心,反去泻火∶尤妙在不
去泻肝,反去补肝∶尤妙在不去补肾,反去补肺。盖泻心火;即所以定心气也。补肝气则肝平,肝平则
心亦平;补肺气则肺旺,能制肝经之旺矣。制服相宜,自然心气得养,而怔忡有不全愈者乎。
痨病最难治者,痨虫尸气也。此症感之日久,遂至生虫,而蚀人脏腑,每至不救。灭门灭户,传染
不已,若不传方救
之,则祸且中于后世。我有奇方,久服自然消除,名救痨杀虫丸。鳖甲一斤,醋炙,茯苓五两,山
药一斤,熟地一斤,白薇五两,沙参一斤,地骨皮一斤,人参二两,山茱萸一斤,白芥子五两,
馒鱼一斤,煮熟。先将馒鱼捣烂,各药研末,米饭为丸。每日五更时服一两,半料即虫化为
水矣。此方大补真阴,全非杀虫伤气之药,然补中用攻,而虫又潜消于乌有,真治痨神方也。
离魂之症,乃魂出于外,自觉吾身之外,更有一吾,此欲死未死之症。然而魂虽离,去身未
远,尚有可复之机,盖阴阳未至于决绝也。急用定魂全体丹救之∶人参一两,茯神五钱,柏子仁三
钱,生枣仁一两,远志一钱,白芥子三钱,丹砂一钱,当归一两,白术一两,甘草一钱,麦冬五钱,
龙齿末五分,水煎服。此方救心气之虚,心虚而后魂离,心气足而魂自定,况方中又用引魂合一之
味于补虚之中乎,所以一剂即见功也。
反胃有食入而即出者,此肾水虚,不能润喉,故喉燥而即出也。有食久而反出者。此肾火虚,不能
温脾,故脾寒而反出也。治反胃者,俱当治肾,但当辨其有火、无火之异,则死症可变为生也。治反胃
之症,莫妙用仲景地黄汤,但无火者,加附子、肉桂,则效验如响。然而世人亦有用仲景方而不验者,
何也?以所用之不得其法,而非方之不神也。我今酌定二方,一治无火而反胃者∶熟地二两,
山茱萸一两,附子三钱、茯苓三钱,泽泻三钱,丹皮三钱,肉桂三钱,山药六钱,水煎服。一治有火
而反胃者,熟地二两,山茱萸五钱,山药一两,泽泻三钱,丹皮三钱,茯苓五钱,麦冬五钱,北五味
二钱,水煎服。二方出入加减,自然治反胃有神功也。
反胃之症,虽一时不能遽死,然治之不得其宜,亦必死
而后已。反胃多是肾虚无火,故今日食之,至明日尽吐,即《内经》所谓食入即出是也。夫食入于
胃中而吐出,似乎病在胃也。谁知胃为肾之关门,肾病而胃始病。饮食之入于胃,必得肾水以相
济,而咽喉有水道之通,始上可输挽,下易运化。然而肾中无火,则釜底无薪,又何以蒸腐水
谷乎。此肾寒而脾亦寒,脾寒不能化,必上涌于胃,而胃不肯受,则涌而上吐矣。方用定胃汤∶熟
地三两,山茱萸二两,肉桂三钱,茯苓三钱,水煎服。一剂而吐止,十剂而病全愈。此治朝入暮吐,
暮服朝吐者也。倘食下即吐,又不可用肉桂。加麦冬一两,北五味子一钱,亦未尝不效应如
响。盖二方全是大补肾中之水火,而不去治胃,胜于治胃也。
失血之症,有从口鼻出者,有从九窍出者、有从手足皮毛之孔而出者,症似各异。吾有一方,
可统治之,名收血汤。熟地二两,生地一两,荆芥一钱,三七根末三钱,当归一两,黄 一两,水煎
服。此方补血而不专补血,妙在兼补气也;止血而不专止血,妙在能引经也。血既归经,气又生血,自
然火不沸腾,相安无事,何至有上中下之乱行哉。故无论各症用之而皆效也。
癫痫之症,多因气虚有痰,一时如暴风疾雨,猝然而倒,口吐白沫,作牛羊马声。种种不同,治之
不得法,往往有死者。吾今留一方,名祛痰定癫汤。人参三钱,白术五钱,白芍五钱,茯神三钱,甘
草一钱,附子一片,半夏三钱,陈皮一钱,菖蒲一钱,水煎服。此方参、术,茯、芍,皆健脾平
肝之圣药;陈皮、半夏、甘草,不过消痰和中∶妙在用附子、菖蒲、以起心之迷,引各药直入心窍之
中,心清则痰自散,
而癫痫自除矣。既不耗气,又能开窍,安有死法哉。
中邪遇鬼,亦阳气之衰也。阳气不衰,则阴气不能中人,况鬼祟乎。惟阳气衰微,而后阴鬼来
犯,治之又何可不补其正气哉。倘或止治痰以逐邪,而不加意于元阳之峻补,则气益虚而邪且不
肯轻退,反致死亡之速矣。我今传一方,名扶正辟邪丹。人参一两,当归一两,茯苓五钱,白术二
两,菖蒲一钱,半夏三钱,白芥子三钱,丹参五钱,皂角刺五分,山羊血五分,附子一钱,水煎服。
此方山羊血、皂角刺,开关之圣药也∶半夏、白芥子,消痰之神剂也。然不多用人参各补药,以回
阳补气,必不能起死回生。大约用此方,一剂便觉鬼去,二剂而痰消人健矣。
中恶之症,乃中毒瓦斯也,犯之亦不能救。如犯蛇毒之气,与各虫之毒瓦斯也,其症肚胀腹大,气满
口喘,身如燥裂而不可忍之状,大便闭结,小便黄赤,甚则阴头胀大,疼痛欲死。此等症必须消毒,
不可骤用补剂,犯则杀人。吾今酌定奇方,治之最效而且最神,名解恶神丹。金银花三两,生甘草
三钱,白矾五钱,白芷三钱,水煎服。此方解恶而不伤气,化毒于无形,实有妙用。火约中恶之症,服
吾方不须二剂,便可庆生全也。
晕眩似乎小症,然而大病皆起于晕眩。眼目一时昏花,卒致猝倒而不可救者,比比也。故世人一
犯晕眩之症,治之不可不早。吾今传一奇方,名防眩汤。人参三钱,白术一两,当归一两,熟地一两,
川芎五钱,白芍一两,山茱萸五钱,半夏三钱,天麻二钱,陈皮五分,水煎服。此方单治气血之
雷公真君说:普通人突然猝然倒地、不省人事,口中发出痰鸣声,人们以为是中风。谁知这是气虚所致,如果按中风治疗,没有不死人的。这是因为平日不慎节制房事,导致精亏从而引起气衰,再加上起居不慎,所以一时之间突然昏倒,看起来像是被风吹倒一样。方剂用培气汤:人参一两,白芥子三钱,黄芪一两,白术一两,茯神五钱,石菖蒲二钱,附子一钱,半夏二钱,水煎服。这个方子补气而不治风,消痰而不耗气,反而能挽救生命。服用一剂后神志安定,两剂后痰液清除,三剂后完全痊愈。
普通人有一时昏眩、跌倒,痰声如锯响,奄奄一息不省人事。这看似中风,其实不是中风,不能当作真正的中风来治疗。虽然不能当作中风治,但其中分为阴虚和阳虚两种不同情况。阴虚者,是肾中的水液不足,不能上济于心。阳虚者,是心中的火气虚弱,不能下交于肾。这两种病症都不能使心气清明,往往导致猝然倒地。更有肝气过于燥烈,不能生助心中的火气而导致猝倒的,这也属于阴虚。更有胃气过热,不能安守心中的火气而导致猝倒的,这也属于阳虚。辨明这四种症状并加以治疗,不难起死回生。阴虚虽然有两种症状,但治疗阴虚的方法只有一方,名叫再苏丹。熟地黄二两,山茱萸一两,玄参一两,白芥子三钱,柴胡一钱,石菖蒲一钱,麦冬一两,北五味子一钱,茯神五钱,水煎服。服用一剂而苏醒,两剂而声音恢复,十剂而完全痊愈。这个方子的妙处,全在于不去治疗中风,而是大补肾中的水液,使真水迅速生成,自然能上通心中之气。尤其奇妙的是滋养肺中之气,不仅去生肾水,更能制约肝木,使其不来下克脾土,那么脾土运化功能正常,化生精微就容易了。至于茯神、石菖蒲安心并开通心窍,柴胡疏肝以生发心气,使白芥子易于消痰,使玄参易于解火,确实有奇妙的作用。
阳虚必须使用两个方剂。一方治疗心中火气虚弱,不能下交于肾的情况。方名交肾全生汤。人参一两,生半夏三钱,附子三钱,石菖蒲一钱,茯神五钱,生酸枣仁一两,白术一两,甘草一钱,水煎服。药液咽下即痰净且声音发出,连续服用数剂,安然无恙。这个方子的妙处在于人参、白术、附子与半夏同用,直接补益心脾之气并祛除痰浊,那么气旺而神易归位,阳生而痰易化解。尤其妙在用生酸枣仁一两,则心清不乱,况且又有石菖蒲、茯神开通心窍而安心,甘草调和脾胃而调气吗?主要看到死症变为生症。另一方名叫抑火安心丹。治疗胃热而不能安守火气的症状。人参一两,石膏五钱,天花粉五钱,茯神一两,石菖蒲一钱,麦冬三钱,玄参一两,水煎服。服用一剂而心定,两剂而火消,三剂病全愈。这个方子的妙处在于在人参、茯苓之中使用石膏,补心而泻胃火,那么火易消,气又不损,况且天花粉消痰,石菖蒲开窍,又辅助得宜,有不乱而安的吗。以上四种症状,虚实寒热不同,如果在胸中仔细明了,断不至于临症时错误。
更有中风的症状,口渴想喝水,眼睛红气喘,心脉洪大,舌不能言,又不可当作气虚治疗,如果当作气虚用人参、黄芪等药,离生路就远了。这是肾虚到了极点,不能上滋于心,心火亢盛至极自焚,烦闷混乱遂致身体倒下,有如中风一样。治法应当大补肾水,并佐以清心祛火的药物,自然水足以济火。方用水火两治汤:熟地黄一两,山茱萸五钱,麦冬一两,五味子二钱,当归一两,生地黄一两,玄参一两,茯神三钱,黄连二钱,白芥子三钱,水煎服。这个方子补肾兼补肝,肝肾充足而心血生成;又得到祛火的药剂相辅助,火熄而痰消,喘平而舌利,何至于有性命之忧呢。
心痛的症状有两种。一种是寒气侵心而痛,一种是火气焚心而痛。寒气侵心的,手足反而温暖;火气焚心的,手足反而寒冷,以此辨别最为准确。寒痛与火痛不同,但能致人死亡是一样的。我传授两个方子,一个治寒,一个治热,无不灵验如响应声。治寒痛的,名叫散寒止痛汤。高良姜三钱,肉桂一钱,白术三钱,甘草一钱,草乌一钱,苍术三钱,贯众三钱。水煎服。这个方子的妙处在于用贯众祛邪,二术(苍术、白术)祛湿,邪湿去除后又加上散寒的药物,自然直中病根,去病如扫。治热痛的,名叫泻火止痛汤。炒栀子三钱,甘草一钱,白芍二两,半夏一钱,柴胡一钱,水煎服。这个方子的妙处在于多用白芍,泻水中之火,又如栀子直折其热,而柴胡散邪,半夏消痰;甘草调和脾胃,用得恰当,所以奏效如神。两个方子都是一剂见效,可以起死回生。
胁痛的症状,是肝病。肝宜顺不宜逆,逆则痛,痛而不止就会死亡。所以治疗胁痛必须平肝,平肝必须补肾,肾水充足而后肝气得到滋养,不必专门治胁痛,胁痛自然平息。方用肝肾兼资汤:熟地黄一两,白芍二两,当归一两,白芥子三钱,炒栀子一钱,山茱萸五钱,甘草三钱,水煎服。这个方子以补肝为君药,补肾为佐药,少加清火消痰的味道,自然容易奏效,一剂而痛定。
腹痛中最急迫的,是绞肠痧。世人害怕使用官料药(指有毒性或猛烈的药物),殊不知药能去病,何必畏惧官料呢。我有一个方子最妙,不使用官料的药物,而功力十倍胜过它。方用马粪一两,炒黑,加入黄土一撮,微炒,用黄酒乘热服用五钱。一剂即疼痛消失。因为马粪最善于止痛,而治腹痛尤其神奇。用黄土的原因,是因为马粪行气过于迅速,得土性则稍缓,且黄土与脾土同性相亲。引导它进入病处,使马粪易于奏功。况且又用黄酒辅助它,则无微不达,不是吐就是泻,气一通而痛就定了。
阴阳脱症,是男女贪欢,尽情纵欲,以致兴致酣畅美好,一时精脱而不能控制。稍微治疗迟缓,则精尽气散而死。病症本是脱精,自然应当益精以救脱,然而精不能速生。此时精已尽泄,惟有气存,然而精尽而气亦甚微,不紧急补气,何以生元阳而长真水呢?方用生气救脱汤:人参三两,附子一钱,黄芪三两,熟地黄一两,麦冬一两,北五味子一钱,水煎服。这个方子大用人参、黄芪,在无何有之乡补益元阳,加熟地、麦冬以生精,加五味子以止脱,加附子温经以走经络。差不多气旺而神全,精生而身旺。如果不补气而只补精,则离生路就远了。
有人在小便时,忽然昏眩而倒,也是阴阳之气脱失。此症多因入内过于纵欲所致。纵欲应当在男女之事中亡故,为何离开男女之事而暴亡?因为在男女之事中亡故,是泄精很酣畅,乐极情浓使然。离开男女之事而亡的,是泄精未畅,平日肾气销亡,肾火衰弱,既泄了其精,更加虚极,所以气随小便而俱绝。这两个症状虽然不同,实则相同。救治方法也不必大异,只是死于男女之身的,桂枝、附子可不必重加,而脱于小便之际的,桂枝、附子断须多用,至于人参则两个症状都应当用到二三两。我有一个方子,名叫逢生丹。人参二两,附子二钱,白术一两,石菖蒲一钱,半夏一钱,生酸枣仁一两,水煎服。这个方子的妙处在于人参急救其气,生于无何有之乡,加附子以追回散亡之气,石菖蒲开启心窍而还迷,半夏消痰饮而辟邪,尤其妙用白术以利腰脐而固肾气之脱,用枣仁以安魂魄而清心君之神,自然绝处逢生。此方阴阳脱症,都可兼治而收功。
怔忡的症状,扰扰不宁,心神恍惚,惊悸不已,这是肝肾之虚,而心气之弱也,如果当作痰治,往往杀人。因为肾虚以致心气不交,心虚以致肝气益耗,不治虚而反攻痰,怎么不速死呢。我有一个方子,名叫宁静汤。人参一两,白术五钱,白芍一两,熟地黄一两,玄参一两,生酸枣仁五钱,白芥子三钱,麦冬五钱。水煎服。这个方子一派补心肝肾的药物,三经同治,则阴阳之气自然相交,上下相资,怔忡自然安定,而惊悸恍惚的症状,也尽除了。怔忡治疗不得法,多致危亡。此症是因泄精之时,又得气恼,更不慎色而成的。似乎宜治肾为主,不知愈补肾而心气愈加怔忡的是什么缘故?因为肝得气恼,肝气大旺。补肾则肝气更旺,反去增心之火,所以愈加怔忡。然而心不可补吗?心不补则火不能息,补心而又加去火的药物,则得生。方用化忡丹:人参二钱,麦冬五钱,生酸枣仁二钱,白芍五钱,玄参五钱,茯神五钱,黄连一钱,白芥子一钱,甘草五分,水煎服。这个方子的妙处在于不定心,反而去泻火;尤其妙处在不泻肝,反而补肝;尤其妙处在不补肾,反而补肺。因为泻心火,就是定心气。补肝气则肝平,肝平则心亦平;补肺气则肺旺,能制约肝经之旺。制服相宜,自然心气得养,而怔忡有不全愈的吗。
痨病最难治的,是痨虫尸气。此症感染日久,遂至生虫,而蚀人脏腑,每至不救。灭门灭户,传染不已,若不传方救之,则祸且中于后世。我有奇方,久服自然消除,名叫救痨杀虫丸。鳖甲一斤,醋炙,茯苓五两,山药一斤,熟地黄一斤,白薇五两,沙参一斤,地骨皮一斤,人参二两,山茱萸一斤,白芥子五两,鳗鱼一斤,煮熟。先将鳗鱼捣烂,各药研末,米饭为丸。每日五更时服一两,半料即虫化为水矣。这个方子大补真阴,全非杀虫伤气的药物,然而补中用攻,而虫又潜消于乌有,真是治痨的神方。
离魂的症状,是魂出于外,自觉吾身之外,更有一个我,这是欲死未死的症状。然而魂虽离,去身未远,尚有可复之机,盖阴阳未至于决绝。急用定魂全体丹救之:人参一两,茯神五钱,柏子仁三钱,生酸枣仁一两,远志一钱,白芥子三钱,丹砂一钱,当归一两,白术一两,甘草一钱,麦冬五钱,龙齿末五分,水煎服。这个方子救心气之虚,心虚而后魂离,心气足而魂自定,况且方中又用引魂合一的味道于补虚之中,所以一剂即见功。
反胃有食入而即出的,这是肾水虚,不能润喉,故喉燥而即出。有食久而反出的。这是肾火虚,不能温脾,故脾寒而反出。治反胃的,都当治肾,但当辨其有火、无火的不同,则死症可变为生。治反胃的症状,莫妙用仲景地黄汤,但无火的,加附子、肉桂,则效验如响应声。然而世人也有用仲景方而不验的,为什么呢?因为所用之法不得其法,而非方之不神。我今酌定二方,一治无火而反胃的:熟地黄二两,山茱萸一两,附子三钱,茯苓三钱,泽泻三钱,丹皮三钱,肉桂三钱,山药六钱,水煎服。一治有火而反胃的,熟地黄二两,山茱萸五钱,山药一两,泽泻三钱,丹皮三钱,茯苓五钱,麦冬五钱,北五味子二钱,水煎服。二方出入加减,自然治反胃有神功。
反胃的症状,虽一时不能遽死,然治之不得其宜,亦必死而后已。反胃多是肾虚无火,故今日食之,至明日尽吐,即《内经》所谓食入即出是也。夫食入于胃中而吐出,似乎病在胃。谁知胃为肾之关门,肾病而胃始病。饮食之入于胃,必得肾水以相济,而咽喉有水道之通,始上可输挽,下易运化。然而肾中无火,则釜底无薪,又何以蒸腐水谷乎。此肾寒而脾亦寒,脾寒不能化,必上涌于胃,而胃不肯受,则涌而上吐。方用定胃汤:熟地黄三两,山茱萸二两,肉桂三钱,茯苓三钱,水煎服。一剂而吐止,十剂而病全愈。此治朝入暮吐,暮服朝吐者也。倘食下即吐,又不可用肉桂。加麦冬一两,北五味子一钱,亦未尝不效应如响。盖二方全是大补肾中之水火,而不去治胃,胜于治胃。
失血的症状,有从口鼻出的,有从九窍出的、有从手足皮毛之孔而出的,症状似各异。我有一个方子,可统治之,名叫收血汤。熟地黄二两,生地黄一两,荆芥一钱,三七根末三钱,当归一两,黄芪一两,水煎服。这个方子补血而不专补血,妙在兼补气;止血而不专止血,妙在能引经。血既归经,气又生血,自然火不沸腾,相安无事,何至有上中下之乱行哉。故无论各症用之而皆效。
癫痫的症状,多因气虚有痰,一时如暴风疾雨,猝然而倒,口吐白沫,作牛羊马声。种种不同,治之不得法,往往有死者。我今留一方,名叫祛痰定癫汤。人参三钱,白术五钱,白芍五钱,茯神三钱,甘草一钱,附子一片,半夏三钱,陈皮一钱,石菖蒲一钱,水煎服。这个方子参、术,茯、芍,都是健脾平肝的圣药;陈皮、半夏、甘草,不过是消痰和中;妙在用附子、石菖蒲,以起心之迷,引各药直入心窍之中,心清则痰自散,而癫痫自除。既不耗气,又能开窍,安有死法。
中邪遇鬼,也是阳气之衰。阳气不衰,则阴气不能中人,何况鬼祟。惟阳气衰微,而后阴鬼来犯,治之又何可不补其正气。倘若只治痰以逐邪,而不加意于元阳之峻补,则气益虚而邪且不轻退,反致死亡之速。我今传一方,名叫扶正辟邪丹。人参一两,当归一两,茯苓五钱,白术二两,石菖蒲一钱,半夏三钱,白芥子三钱,丹参五钱,皂角刺五分,山羊血五分,附子一钱,水煎服。这个方子山羊血、皂角刺,是开关的圣药;半夏、白芥子,是消痰的神剂。然而不多用人参等补药,以回阳补气,必不能起死回生。大约用此方,一剂便觉鬼去,二剂而痰消人健。
中恶的症状,乃中毒瓦斯,犯之亦不能救。如犯蛇毒之气,与各虫之毒瓦斯,其症肚胀腹大,气满口喘,身如燥裂而不可忍之状,大便闭结,小便黄赤,甚则阴头胀大,疼痛欲死。此等症必须消毒,不可骤用补剂,犯则杀人。我今酌定奇方,治之最效而且最神,名叫解恶神丹。金银花三两,生甘草三钱,白矾五钱,白芷三钱,水煎服。这个方子解恶而不伤气,化毒于无形,实有妙用。大概中恶之症,服我的方不须二剂,便可庆生全。
晕眩似乎小症,然而大病皆起于晕眩。眼目一时昏花,卒致猝倒而不可救的,比比皆是。故世人一犯晕眩之症,治之不可不早。我今传一奇方,名叫防眩汤。人参三钱,白术一两,当归一两,熟地黄一两,川芎五钱,白芍一两,山茱萸五钱,半夏三钱,天麻二钱,陈皮五分,水煎服。这个方子单治气血之...
The Lord Leigong said: When ordinary people suddenly collapse and lose consciousness, with phlegm rattling in the mouth, people assume it is wind-stroke (Zhong Feng). Little do they know this is due to Qi deficiency. If treated as wind-stroke, death is inevitable. This occurs because of indulgence in sexual activity in daily life, leading to Essence depletion which causes Qi decline, compounded by careless living habits, resulting in sudden collapse that resembles being blown down by wind. The prescription used is Pei Qi Tang (Cultivate Qi Decoction): Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix) 1 liang, Bai Jie Zi (White Mustard Seed) 3 qian, Huang Qi (Astragalus Root) 1 liang, Bai Zhu (Atractylodes Rhizome) 1 liang, Fu Shen (Poria with Hostwood) 5 qian, Chang Pu (Acorus Rhizome) 2 qian, Fu Zi (Aconite Lateralis Radix Preparata) 1 qian, Ban Xia (Pinellia Tuber) 2 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. This formula tonifies Qi without treating wind, resolves phlegm without consuming Qi, and thus restores life. After one dose, the spirit stabilizes; after two doses, phlegm clears; after three doses, full recovery occurs.
When a person experiences sudden dizziness and fainting, with phlegm sounds like sawing, and lies unconscious, it resembles wind-stroke but is not true wind-stroke, and must not be treated as such. Although not treated as wind-stroke, it differs into Yin deficiency and Yang deficiency. In Yin deficiency, the Water of the Kidney is deficient and cannot ascend to communicate with the Heart. In Yang deficiency, the Fire of the Heart is deficient and cannot descend to communicate with the Kidney. Both conditions prevent the Heart Qi from remaining clear, often leading to sudden collapse. Furthermore, if Liver Qi is excessively dry and fails to generate the Heart's Fire, causing collapse, this is also Yin deficiency. If Stomach Qi is too hot and fails to calm the Heart's Fire, causing collapse, this is also Yang deficiency. By distinguishing these four patterns and treating them accordingly, rescuing the dying is not difficult. Although there are two patterns of Yin deficiency, there is only one method for treating Yin deficiency, named Zai Su Dan (Revive Emperor Pill). Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmannia Root) 2 liang, Shan Zhu Yu (Cornus Fruit) 1 liang, Yuan Shen (Scrophularia Root) 1 liang, Bai Jie Zi (White Mustard Seed) 3 qian, Chai Hu (Bupleurum Root) 1 qian, Chang Pu (Acorus Rhizome) 1 qian, Mai Dong (Ophiopogon Tuber) 1 liang, Bei Wu Wei Zi (Schisandra Berry) 1 qian, Fu Shen (Poria with Hostwood) 5 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. One dose brings consciousness; two doses restore voice; ten doses bring complete recovery. The wonder of this formula lies entirely in not treating wind-stroke, but rather greatly tonifying the Water of the Kidney, allowing True Water to generate rapidly and naturally connect with the Heart Qi. Especially wonderful is its nourishment of Lung Qi, which not only generates Kidney Water but also restrains Liver Wood, preventing it from attacking Spleen Earth. Thus, Spleen Earth functions normally, making the transformation of Essence easier. Meanwhile, Fu Shen and Chang Pu calm the Heart and open the orifices, Chai Hu soothes the Liver to generate Heart Qi, facilitating Bai Jie Zi's phlegm resolution and Yuan Shen's fire clearance, demonstrating profound utility.
Yang deficiency requires two formulas. One treats the deficiency of Heart Fire failing to descend to the Kidney, named Jiao Shen Quan Sheng Tang (Interact with Kidney Complete Life Decoction). Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix) 1 liang, Sheng Ban Xia (Raw Pinellia Tuber) 3 qian, Fu Zi (Aconite Lateralis Radix Preparata) 3 qian, Chang Pu (Acorus Rhizome) 1 qian, Fu Shen (Poria with Hostwood) 5 qian, Sheng Zao Ren (Raw Sour Jujube Seed) 1 liang, Bai Zhu (Atractylodes Rhizome) 1 liang, Gan Cao (Licorice Root) 1 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. Phlegm clears and voice returns immediately upon swallowing; continuous doses ensure safety. The brilliance of this formula lies in the combination of Ren Shen, Bai Zhu, Fu Zi, and Ban Xia, directly tonifying Heart and Spleen Qi while dispelling phlegm. As Qi prospers, the Spirit returns easily; as Yang generates, phlegm transforms easily. Particularly ingenious is the use of 1 liang of raw Zao Ren, clearing the Heart without chaos, aided by Chang Pu and Fu Shen opening orifices and calming the Heart, and Gan Cao harmonizing the Middle and regulating Qi, transforming fatal signs into life. The other formula is named Yi Huo An Xin Dan (Suppress Fire Calm Heart Pill), treating symptoms of Stomach heat failing to calm Fire. Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix) 1 liang, Shi Gao (Gypsum Fibrosum) 5 qian, Tian Hua Fen (Trichosanthes Root) 5 qian, Fu Shen (Poria with Hostwood) 1 liang, Chang Pu (Acorus Rhizome) 1 qian, Mai Dong (Ophiopogon Tuber) 3 qian, Yuan Shen (Scrophularia Root) 1 liang. Decoct in water and take orally. One dose calms the Heart; two doses extinguish fire; three doses cure the disease. Its妙处 (wonder) lies in using Shi Gao among Ren Shen and Fu Ling to tonify the Heart and drain Stomach fire, so fire dissipates easily without damaging Qi. Tian Hua Fen resolves phlegm, Chang Pu opens orifices, assisting appropriately to ensure stability. Regarding the above four patterns, differing in deficiency/excess and cold/heat, if thoroughly understood, clinical errors will be avoided.
There are also wind-stroke symptoms: thirst with desire to drink, red eyes, panting, a洪大 (Surging-Large) Heart pulse, inability to speak due to tongue stiffness. These must not be treated as Qi deficiency. Using Ren Shen and Huang Qi for Qi deficiency would lead far from survival. This is extreme Kidney deficiency unable to nourish the Heart, causing Heart Fire to hyperactivity and self-combustion, leading to confusion and collapse resembling wind-stroke. The method should be to greatly tonify Kidney Water, assisted by herbs that clear the Heart and dispel fire, ensuring Water suffices to control Fire. Use Shui Huo Liang Zhi Tang (Water and Fire Dual Treatment Decoction): Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmannia Root) 1 liang, Shan Zhu Yu (Cornus Fruit) 5 qian, Mai Dong (Ophiopogon Tuber) 1 liang, Wu Wei Zi (Schisandra Berry) 2 qian, Dang Gui (Angelica Sinensis Root) 1 liang, Sheng Di Huang (Rehmannia Root) 1 liang, Yuan Shen (Scrophularia Root) 1 liang, Fu Shen (Poria with Hostwood) 3 qian, Huang Lian (Coptis Rhizome) 2 qian, Bai Jie Zi (White Mustard Seed) 3 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. This formula tonifies the Kidney and Liver; when Liver and Kidney are sufficient, Heart Blood generates. Assisted by fire-dispelling agents, fire subsides, phlegm clears, panting stops, and tongue mobility returns, avoiding life-threatening danger.
Heart pain has two types: one caused by Cold invading the Heart, the other by Fire burning the Heart. In Cold invasion, hands and feet are warm; in Fire burning, hands and feet are cold; this distinction is most accurate. Although Cold and Heat pains differ, both can cause death. I transmit two formulas, one for Cold, one for Heat, both effective as an echo. For Cold pain, name San Han Zhi Tong Tang (Dispel Cold Stop Pain Decoction). Liang Jiang (Galangal Rhizome) 3 qian, Rou Gui (Cinnamon Bark) 1 qian, Bai Zhu (Atractylodes Rhizome) 3 qian, Gan Cao (Licorice Root) 1 qian, Cao Wu (Aconitum Carmichaelii Lateralis Radix Preparata) 1 qian, Cang Zhu (Atractylodes Lancea Rhizome) 3 qian, Guan Zhong (Cyathea Spinulosa Rhizome) 3 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. Its brilliance lies in using Guan Zhong to expel pathogens, Er Shu (Cang Zhu and Bai Zhu) to remove dampness. With pathogenic dampness removed, adding cold-dispelling agents strikes the root directly, removing disease swiftly. For Heat pain, name Xie Huo Zhi Tong Tang (Drain Fire Stop Pain Decoction). Chao Zhi Zi (Stir-fried Gardenia Fruit) 3 qian, Gan Cao (Licorice Root) 1 qian, Bai Shao (White Peony Root) 2 liang, Ban Xia (Pinellia Tuber) 1 qian, Chai Hu (Bupleurum Root) 1 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. Its brilliance lies in using large amounts of Bai Shao to drain Fire within Water, Zhi Zi to directly reduce heat, Chai Hu to scatter pathogens, Ban Xia to resolve phlegm, and Gan Cao to harmonize the Middle. Used appropriately, it achieves miraculous results. Both formulas work in one dose, capable of rescuing the dying.
Hypochondriac pain is a Liver disease. The Liver prefers smooth flow over stagnation; stagnation causes pain, and unrelenting pain leads to death. Therefore, treating hypochondriac pain requires soothing the Liver, which necessitates tonifying the Kidney. When Kidney Water is sufficient, Liver Qi is nourished, and hypochondriac pain resolves spontaneously without direct treatment. Use Gan Shen Jian Zi Tang (Liver-Kidney Mutual Support Decoction): Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmannia Root) 1 liang, Bai Shao (White Peony Root) 2 liang, Dang Gui (Angelica Sinensis Root) 1 liang, Bai Jie Zi (White Mustard Seed) 3 qian, Chao Zhi Zi (Stir-fried Gardenia Fruit) 1 qian, Shan Zhu Yu (Cornus Fruit) 5 qian, Gan Cao (Licorice Root) 3 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. This formula uses Liver tonification as the Sovereign herb, Kidney tonification as the Assistant, with slight additions of fire-clearing and phlegm-resolving agents, ensuring efficacy with one dose stopping pain.
The most acute abdominal pain is Jiao Chang Sha (Intestinal Colic). People fear using "official materials" (toxic/potent drugs), not knowing medicine cures disease, so why fear potent ingredients? I have a superb formula using no toxic ingredients, yet ten times more powerful. Use Ma Fen (Horse Dung) 1 liang, stir-fried until black, mixed with a pinch of Huang Tu (Yellow Earth), slightly fried, taken with 5 qian of Huang Jiu (Yellow Wine) while hot. One dose eliminates pain. Horse dung excels at stopping pain, especially for abdominal pain. Yellow earth is used because horse dung acts too rapidly; earth slows it slightly, and since yellow earth shares affinity with Spleen Earth, it guides the medicine to the lesion, aiding efficacy. Yellow wine assists penetration, inducing vomiting or diarrhea, unblocking Qi and stopping pain.
Yin-Yang Collapse Syndrome results from excessive sexual indulgence, leading to excitement and eventual Essence depletion beyond control. Delayed treatment leads to Essence exhaustion and Qi scattering, causing death. Since the syndrome involves Essence loss, tonifying Essence is appropriate, but Essence cannot regenerate quickly. At this moment, Essence is exhausted, leaving only Qi, which is also weak. Urgent Qi tonification is needed to generate Yuan Yang and grow True Water. Use Sheng Qi Jiu Tuo Tang (Generate Qi Rescue Collapse Decoction): Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix) 3 liang, Fu Zi (Aconite Lateralis Radix Preparata) 1 qian, Huang Qi (Astragalus Root) 3 liang, Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmannia Root) 1 liang, Mai Dong (Ophiopogon Tuber) 1 liang, Bei Wu Wei Zi (Schisandra Berry) 1 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. This formula heavily uses Ren Shen and Huang Qi to tonify Yuan Yang in the realm of non-being, adds Shu Di Huang and Mai Dong to generate Essence, Wu Wei Zi to stop leakage, and Fu Zi to warm meridians and circulate. Thus, Qi prospers, Spirit is whole, Essence generates, and the body strengthens. Tonifying only Essence without Qi leads away from survival.
Some people faint suddenly during urination due to Yin-Yang Qi collapse, often caused by excessive sexual indulgence. Death usually occurs during sexual activity due to vigorous ejaculation and intense pleasure. Death occurring outside sexual context happens when ejaculation was incomplete, combined with chronic Kidney Qi depletion and weak Kidney Fire. After ejaculation, extreme deficiency causes Qi to vanish with urine. Though different, the essence is the same. Treatment varies slightly: for death during sex, Gui Zhi (Cinnamon Twig) and Fu Zi need not be heavy; for death during urination, Gui Zhi and Fu Zi must be increased significantly. Ren Shen should be 2-3 liang for both. I have a formula named Feng Sheng Dan (Meet Life Pill): Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix) 2 liang, Fu Zi (Aconite Lateralis Radix Preparata) 2 qian, Bai Zhu (Atractylodes Rhizome) 1 liang, Chang Pu (Acorus Rhizome) 1 qian, Ban Xia (Pinellia Tuber) 1 qian, Sheng Zao Ren (Raw Sour Jujube Seed) 1 liang. Decoct in water and take orally. Its brilliance lies in Ren Shen urgently saving Qi, Fu Zi retrieving scattered Qi, Chang Pu opening orifices to restore consciousness, Ban Xia resolving phlegm and expelling pathogens, Bai Zhu benefiting the waist/navel to secure Kidney Qi, and Zao Ren calming the Soul and purifying the Heart Spirit, ensuring survival from despair. This formula treats both Yin and Yang collapse effectively.
Palpitations involve restlessness, vague spirit, and incessant fright, indicating Liver-Kidney deficiency and weak Heart Qi. Treating as phlegm often kills. Kidney deficiency prevents Heart Qi communication; Heart deficiency exhausts Liver Qi. Attacking phlegm instead of tonifying deficiency leads to rapid death. I have a formula named Ning Jing Tang (Calm Peace Decoction): Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix) 1 liang, Bai Zhu (Atractylodes Rhizome) 5 qian, Bai Shao (White Peony Root) 1 liang, Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmannia Root) 1 liang, Yuan Shen (Scrophularia Root) 1 liang, Sheng Zao Ren (Raw Sour Jujube Seed) 5 qian, Bai Jie Zi (White Mustard Seed) 3 qian, Mai Dong (Ophiopogon Tuber) 5 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. This formula tonifies Heart, Liver, and Kidney simultaneously across three meridians, allowing Yin-Yang Qi to interact and support each other, stabilizing palpitations and eliminating fright. Improper treatment often leads to crisis. This syndrome arises from ejaculation combined with anger and sexual indiscretion. One might think to treat the Kidney primarily, but tonifying the Kidney worsens palpitations because anger causes Liver Qi to surge. Tonifying the Kidney further strengthens Liver Qi, increasing Heart Fire. Should the Heart not be tonified? Without tonification, Fire does not subside. Tonifying the Heart while adding fire-draining herbs ensures survival. Use Hua Chong Dan (Transform Palpitations Pill): Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix) 2 qian, Mai Dong (Ophiopogon Tuber) 5 qian, Sheng Zao Ren (Raw Sour Jujube Seed) 2 qian, Bai Shao (White Peony Root) 5 qian, Yuan Shen (Scrophularia Root) 5 qian, Fu Shen (Poria with Hostwood) 5 qian, Huang Lian (Coptis Rhizome) 1 qian, Bai Jie Zi (White Mustard Seed) 1 qian, Gan Cao (Licorice Root) 5 fen. Decoct in water and take orally. Its brilliance lies in draining Heart Fire to calm Heart Qi, tonifying Liver to pacify it (which pacifies the Heart), and tonifying Lung to restrain Liver hyperactivity. Proper regulation nourishes Heart Qi, ensuring complete recovery.
Consumption disease (Lao Bing) is hardest to treat due to "Lao Chong" (Consumption Worms) and corpse qi. Long-term infection produces worms that erode organs, often incurable, spreading through families. I have a miraculous formula for long-term use to eliminate this, named Jiu Lao Sha Chong Wan (Save Consumption Kill Worms Pill). Bie Jia (Tartaric Testudinis Carapax et Plastrum) 1 jin, vinegar-fried; Fu Ling (Poria) 5 liang; Shan Yao (Dioscorea Rhizome) 1 jin; Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmannia Root) 1 jin; Bai Wei (Cynanchum Atratum Root) 5 liang; Sha Shen (Glehnia or Adenophora Root) 1 jin; Di Gu Pi (Lycium Cortex) 1 jin; Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix) 2 liang; Shan Zhu Yu (Cornus Fruit) 1 jin; Bai Jie Zi (White Mustard Seed) 5 liang; Man Yu (Eel Meat) 1 jin, cooked. Mash eel meat, grind herbs to powder, form pills with rice paste. Take 1 liang at dawn daily. Half the course turns worms to water. This formula greatly tonifies True Yin without harming Qi, using attack within tonification, dissolving worms invisibly, truly a divine formula for consumption.
Soul Departure Syndrome involves the Soul leaving the body, feeling an external self, a pre-death state. However, the Soul is not far, offering a chance for return as Yin-Yang are not severed. Urgently use Ding Hun Quan Ti Dan (Settle Soul Whole Body Pill): Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix) 1 liang, Fu Shen (Poria with Hostwood) 5 qian, Bai Zi Ren (Biota Seed) 3 qian, Sheng Zao Ren (Raw Sour Jujube Seed) 1 liang, Yuan Zhi (Polygala Root) 1 qian, Bai Jie Zi (White Mustard Seed) 3 qian, Dan Sha (Cinnabar) 1 qian, Dang Gui (Angelica Sinensis Root) 1 liang, Bai Zhu (Atractylodes Rhizome) 1 liang, Gan Cao (Licorice Root) 1 qian, Mai Dong (Ophiopogon Tuber) 5 qian, Long Chi (Dragon Tooth/Fossilized Teeth) 5 fen. Decoct in water and take orally. This formula saves Heart Qi deficiency; when Heart Qi is sufficient, the Soul settles. It includes herbs guiding the Soul back within tonification, showing effect in one dose.
Regurgitation (Fan Wei) includes immediate expulsion after eating, due to Kidney Water deficiency failing to moisten the throat, causing dryness and expulsion. Or delayed expulsion, due to Kidney Fire deficiency failing to warm the Spleen, causing Spleen Cold and regurgitation. Treatment must focus on the Kidney, distinguishing presence or absence of Fire to transform fatal cases. The best approach uses Zhang Zhongjing's Di Huang Tang (Rehmannia Decoction). For no-fire cases, add Fu Zi and Rou Gui for immediate effect. Some fail because of incorrect application, not the formula's lack of power. I prescribe two formulas: one for no-fire regurgitation: Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmannia Root) 2 liang, Shan Zhu Yu (Cornus Fruit) 1 liang, Fu Zi (Aconite Lateralis Radix Preparata) 3 qian, Fu Ling (Poria) 3 qian, Ze Xie (Alisma Rhizome) 3 qian, Mu Dan Pi (Moutan Cortex) 3 qian, Rou Gui (Cinnamon Bark) 3 qian, Shan Yao (Dioscorea Rhizome) 6 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. One for fire-case: Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmannia Root) 2 liang, Shan Zhu Yu (Cornus Fruit) 5 qian, Shan Yao (Dioscorea Rhizome) 1 liang, Ze Xie (Alisma Rhizome) 3 qian, Mu Dan Pi (Moutan Cortex) 3 qian, Fu Ling (Poria) 5 qian, Mai Dong (Ophiopogon Tuber) 5 qian, Bei Wu Wei Zi (Schisandra Berry) 2 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. Adjustments yield miraculous results.
Although regurgitation isn't instantly fatal, improper treatment leads to death. It is mostly Kidney deficiency without Fire, causing food eaten today to vomit tomorrow, as described in Nei Jing ("food enters then exits"). Vomiting seems like a Stomach disease, but the Stomach is the Gatekeeper of the Kidney; Kidney disease affects the Stomach. Food entering the Stomach needs Kidney Water to assist, and patent passages in the throat to transport upward and digest downward. Without Kidney Fire, there is no fuel under the pot to steam and rot food. Kidney Cold causes Spleen Cold; Spleen Cold fails to transform, surging up to the Stomach, which rejects it, causing vomiting. Use Ding Wei Tang (Stabilize Stomach Decoction): Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmannia Root) 3 liang, Shan Zhu Yu (Cornus Fruit) 2 liang, Rou Gui (Cinnamon Bark) 3 qian, Fu Ling (Poria) 3 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. One dose stops vomiting; ten doses cure. This treats evening intake/morning vomiting. If immediate vomiting occurs, avoid Rou Gui; add Mai Dong 1 liang and Bei Wu Wei Zi 1 qian for similar efficacy. Both formulas tonify Kidney Water and Fire without directly treating the Stomach, surpassing direct Stomach treatment.
Blood loss manifests from mouth/nose, nine orifices, or skin pores. Though varied, one formula governs all: Shou Xue Tang (Collect Blood Decoction). Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmannia Root) 2 liang, Sheng Di Huang (Rehmannia Root) 1 liang, Jing Jie (Schizonepeta Spike) 1 qian, San Qi (Notoginseng Root) powder 3 qian, Dang Gui (Angelica Sinensis Root) 1 liang, Huang Qi (Astragalus Root) 1 liang. Decoct in water and take orally. This formula tonifies Blood while also tonifying Qi; stops bleeding while guiding herbs to meridians. Once blood returns to meridions and Qi generates Blood, Fire does not boil chaotically, ensuring harmony. Thus, it is effective for all symptoms.
Epilepsy often stems from Qi deficiency with phlegm, collapsing suddenly like a storm, foaming at the mouth, making animal sounds. Different presentations require correct treatment to avoid death. I leave a formula named Qu Tan Ding Dian Tang (Remove Phlegm Settle Epilepsy Decoction): Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix) 3 qian, Bai Zhu (Atractylodes Rhizome) 5 qian, Bai Shao (White Peony Root) 5 qian, Fu Shen (Poria with Hostwood) 3 qian, Gan Cao (Licorice Root) 1 qian, Fu Zi (Aconite Lateralis Radix Preparata) 1 slice, Ban Xia (Pinellia Tuber) 3 qian, Chen Pi (Citrus Reticulata Pericarpium) 1 qian, Chang Pu (Acorus Rhizome) 1 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. Ren Shen, Bai Zhu, Fu Shen, Bai Shao are sage herbs for strengthening Spleen and soothing Liver. Chen Pi, Ban Xia, Gan Cao resolve phlegm and harmonize the Middle. The brilliance lies in using Fu Zi and Chang Pu to awaken the confused Heart, guiding herbs into Heart orifices. Clear Heart disperses phlegm and removes epilepsy without consuming Qi or opening orifices destructively, avoiding death.
Striking evil or encountering ghosts indicates declining Yang Qi. If Yang Qi is strong, Yin pathogens and ghosts cannot invade. Only when Yang Qi is weak do Yin ghosts attack. Treatment must tonify Righteous Qi. Merely treating phlegm to expel pathogens without vigorously tonifying Yuan Yang increases deficiency and allows pathogens to linger, accelerating death. I transmit a formula named Fu Zheng Bi Xie Dan (Support Righteous Expel Evil Pill): Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix) 1 liang, Dang Gui (Angelica Sinensis Root) 1 liang, Fu Ling (Poria) 5 qian, Bai Zhu (Atractylodes Rhizome) 2 liang, Chang Pu (Acorus Rhizome) 1 qian, Ban Xia (Pinellia Tuber) 3 qian, Bai Jie Zi (White Mustard Seed) 3 qian, Dan Shen (Salvia Miltiorrhiza Root) 5 qian, Zao Jiao Ci (Gleditsia Spine) 5 fen, Shan Yang Xue (Goat Blood) 5 fen, Fu Zi (Aconite Lateralis Radix Preparata) 1 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. Goat blood and Gleditsia spine are sage herbs for opening orifices; Ban Xia and Bai Jie Zi are divine agents for resolving phlegm. Without ample Ren Shen and tonics to restore Yang and Qi, rescue is impossible. Typically, ghosts depart after one dose, phlegm clears and health returns after two.
Zhong E (Sudden Malignancy/Poisoning) involves toxic vapors, often incurable. Examples include snake venom or insect toxins. Symptoms include abdominal distension, panting, skin cracking sensation, constipation, dark yellow urine, swollen painful genitals. These cases require detoxification; sudden tonification kills. I prescribe a miraculous formula, Jie E Shen Dan (Resolve Malignancy Divine Pill): Jin Yin Hua (Lonicera Flower) 3 liang, Sheng Gan Cao (Raw Licorice Root) 3 qian, Bai Fan (Alumen) 5 qian, Bai Zhi (Angelica Dahurica Root) 3 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. This formula resolves malignancy without damaging Qi, transforming poison invisibly. Generally, two doses ensure survival.
Dizziness seems minor but initiates major diseases. Sudden blindness and collapse are common. Early treatment is crucial. I transmit a miraculous formula named Fang Xuan Tang (Prevent Dizziness Decoction): Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix) 3 qian, Bai Zhu (Atractylodes Rhizome) 1 liang, Dang Gui (Angelica Sinensis Root) 1 liang, Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmannia Root) 1 liang, Chuan Xiong (Ligusticum Rhizome) 5 qian, Bai Shao (White Peony Root) 1 liang, Shan Zhu Yu (Cornus Fruit) 5 qian, Ban Xia (Pinellia Tuber) 3 qian, Tian Ma (Gastrodia Rhizome) 2 qian, Chen Pi (Citrus Reticulata Pericarpium) 5 fen. Decoct in water and take orally. This formula solely treats Qi and Blood...
