南安太守松江人张汝弼，曾患滑数脉、白浊（尿道口流出白色分泌物）之症，长期服用补肾药物均无效。一日遇到一位道人，道人让他服用酒蒸黄连丸，他的病立刻痊愈。该方的制法是：取宣黄连一斤，去掉须根，用酒浸泡一夜，放在甑上多次蒸至变黑，取出晒干，研成细末，用蜂蜜制成如梧桐子大小的药丸。每日中午和临睡前用酒送服三十丸。此方也能治疗脏毒下血（肠道湿热引起的便血）。
《游宦纪闻》记载：程沙随患有血淋（小便涩痛带血）之疾，各种药物都无效。偶然阅读《本草》，看到冬瓜能治五淋（五种淋证），于是每天煮食冬瓜，到了第七天就痊愈了。按《日用本草》记载：冬瓜性味走窜而急利，久病及阴虚之人忌食，霜降之后方可食用，否则令人患上番胃病（指类似痢疾或肠胃不适的病症）。肥胖的人食用冬瓜会使人消瘦。现在的人往往把它当作补品，这是不对的。瓜子晒干的粉末能治疗白浊、白带，单用多服，用酒送服效果良好。
木渎有一位吴姓患者，患精气滑泄之症，各种药物都无法治愈。有人传授给他一种方法：只需用手按压胁腹，收缩尾闾（尾骨部位），闭气瞑目，头部感觉像被石头压住一样，然后引气从背后直接入泥丸宫（脑部），再咽下归入丹田，不计遍数，行住坐卧都可以进行。同时教他服用保真丸，坚持半年，面色光泽悦泽，病不再发作。这种方法也可以治疗头风（头痛）。（出自《席上辅谈》）
牛顺头草，又名早枯零，生长在西山黄堰岭等地，采收后制作成……可以治疗梦遗之症，屡试神效。（出自《东原余录》）
永乐戊子年夏天，郁文质患遗精之疾，形体瘦弱，兼有痰喘交替发作，日夜不能休息。遍请其他医生治疗，病情反而加重。后来请来盛启东诊治，他说：“这是阳脱之症，紧急治疗则生，拖延则死，非大剂量重剂不能治愈。”于是使用附子、天雄，佐以人参、茯苓、白术，白天增加服药次数，夜晚减半。从秋天到冬天，所服的附子大约一百多只，其余药物不计其数，疾病才痊愈。（出自《盛氏家乘》）
各种血症，医生便认为是热证，而以苦寒药物攻伐，直到死也不醒悟。殊不知苦味泻土，土对应脾胃，脾胃是全身的根本。如今火邪为病，却泻其土，火邪固然未除，但脾胃先已受损。脾胃受损则胃虚，胃虚则营气不能滋养百脉，元气不循天道运行，气随阴化，无声无息，肌肉寒冷，到了这种地步就很难治疗了。按《褚氏遗书》记载：各种出血症服用寒凉药的，百无一活；饮用溲溺（尿液）的，十中救活一个。杨仁斋《直指方》记载：吐血必须煎干姜甘草作汤服用，或者四物理中汤也可以，如此无不痊愈。如果服用生地、犀角、藕节之类，则难以救治。如果遇到相火当令之时，血液妄行，切忌禁止使用收敛固涩之剂，宜清表攻里，血自止。若先用止涩之剂，离死亡就近了。凡是男子妇人血症，散漫者或颜色鲜红者属热，或结成块状或颜色瘀暗者属寒，不可拘泥于“血得热而淖溢”的说法。古云：水寒成冰，血寒成块。《玄珠经·十剂条》内记载：气温则血滑，气寒则血凝。虽然也有中寒气虚、阴阳不相守导致血乃妄行的情况，正如经所说“阳虚阴必走”，法当用辛温药物，加官桂、干姜，中焦温暖则血自然归经。吐衄泻血都有此类症状，应当切脉以明确诊断，切不可随意使用凉药，折损人命。
Zhang Rubi, Prefect of Nan'an from Songjiang, once suffered from a slippery and rapid pulse accompanied by white turbidity (white discharge from the urethra). He had long taken kidney-tonifying medicines without effect. One day, he met a Daoist priest who advised him to take Jiu Zheng Huanglian Wan (Alcohol-Steamed Coptis Pill), after which his illness was instantly cured. The preparation method is as follows: Take one jin (approx. 500g) of Xuan Huanglian (Coptis chinensis), remove the roots, soak in wine overnight, place in a steamer, and steam repeatedly until black. Remove, dry in the sun, grind into fine powder, and make pills with honey the size of tung tree seeds. Take thirty pills swallowed with wine at noon and before sleep. This formula also treats zangdu lower rectal bleeding (hematochezia caused by intestinal damp-heat).
Youhuan Jiwen records that Cheng Shasui suffered from xuelin (dysuria with blood) for which all medicines failed. While reading Bencao, he saw that winter melon treats wulin (five types of strangury). Thus, he boiled and ate it daily, recovering on the seventh day. According to Riyong Bencao: Winter melon has a moving and urgent nature; those with chronic illness or yin deficiency should avoid it. It can be eaten only after Frost's Descent; otherwise, it causes fanwei disease (a type of gastrointestinal disorder resembling dysentery). For obese people, eating winter melon leads to thinning. Nowadays, people often regard it as a tonic, which is incorrect. The powder of dried melon seeds treats white turbidity and leukorrhea; used alone in large doses and taken with wine, it is effective.
A man surnamed Wu from Mudu suffered from jinghua (seminal emission/leakage) for which no medicine worked. Someone taught him a technique: press the flanks and abdomen, contract the weilu (tailbone area), hold breath, close eyes, and feel the head as if pressed by a stone. Then guide qi directly from the back into niluan (the brain/cranial cavity), swallow, and return to dantian. Repeat without counting, performing this while walking, standing, sitting, or lying down. Simultaneously, instruct him to take Baozhen Wan. After half a year, his complexion became lustrous, and the disease did not recur. This technique can also treat toufeng (head wind/headache). (From Xishang Futan)
Niushuntou Cao, also known as Zaokuling, grows in places like Huangyanling on West Mountain. Harvested and processed... it can treat mengyi (nocturnal emission), proving highly effective in repeated trials. (From Dongyuan Yulu)
In the summer of Wuzi year of the Yongle era, Yu Wenqi suffered from nocturnal emission. His body was emaciated, complicated by alternating phlegm and wheezing, leaving him unable to rest day or night. Various doctors were summoned, but his condition worsened. Finally, Sheng Qidong was invited. He said, "This is yang collapse. Urgent treatment brings life; delay brings death. Only heavy doses of potent herbs can cure it." Thus, he used Fuzi (Aconite Lateral Root) and Tianxiong (Aconitum Kusnezoffii Root), assisted by Renshen (Ginseng), Fuling (Poria), and Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome). Dosages were increased during the day and halved at night. From autumn to winter, he consumed about a hundred Fuzi, plus unspecified amounts of other herbs, until the disease subsided. (From Sheng Family Genealogy)
Regarding various blood disorders, physicians often assume heat and attack it with bitter-cold herbs, remaining unaware until death. They fail to realize that bitter flavors drain earth; earth corresponds to the spleen and stomach, which are the root of the whole body. If fire pathogenic factor causes disease, draining earth fails to eliminate fire but damages the spleen and stomach first. Spleen/stomach damage leads to stomach deficiency; stomach deficiency prevents ying qi (nutritive qi) from nourishing the vessels. Yuan qi (original qi) does not follow natural rhythms; qi transforms with yin silently, muscles become cold, and treatment becomes difficult. According to Chushi Yishu: Among patients with various bleeding disorders taking cold-cool herbs, none survive out of a hundred; those drinking urine have one survivor out of ten. Yang Renzhai's Zhizhi Fang states: For hematemesis, decoct Ganjiang (Dried Ginger) and Gancao (Licorice Root) as a soup, or use Siwu Lizhong Tang. Such treatments invariably cure. Using Shengdi (Rehmannia Root), Xijiao (Rhinoceros Horn - now prohibited/substituted), and Oujie (Lotus Node) makes rescue difficult. When xiang huo (ministerial fire) is active causing reckless blood flow, strictly prohibit astringents. Clear the exterior and purge the interior; blood will stop naturally. Using astringents first moves one far from life. In men and women with blood disorders, diffuse patterns or bright red color indicate heat; clots or dark purple color indicate cold. Do not rigidly adhere to the theory that "blood flows freely when heated." Ancient texts say: Cold water forms ice; cold blood forms clots. Xuanzhu Jing's Ten Formulas section states: Warm qi makes blood slide; cold qi makes blood coagulate. Although there are cases of middle jiao cold qi deficiency and yin-yang disharmony causing reckless blood flow, as the classics state "when yang is deficient, yin must escape," the method should use acrid-warm herbs, adding Guigui (Cinnamon Twig) and Ganjiang (Dried Ginger). When the middle jiao warms, blood returns to its vessels. Hematemesis, epistaxis, and bloody diarrhea share these patterns. Pulse diagnosis is essential to clarify. One must not casually use cooling herbs, thereby shortening lives.
