用大黄二大两，切成棋子大小，和少许酥油炒，让酥油完全进入药物中，切的时候不能让大黄变黄，焦了就没药效，捣碎，过筛成末，每天空腹用水三大合，放入两片如铜钱大小的生姜，煎煮十余沸，去掉生姜，取大黄末两钱，另外放在碗中，用姜汤调匀，空腹一次性服用，如果有剩余的姜汤，慢慢喝下。令其排下冷脓和多恶物等，病即痊愈停止。古人使用毒药攻治病邪，必定根据人的虚实情况来处理，不是一概而论地使用。姚僧垣刚出仕时，梁武帝因发热，想服用大黄，僧垣说，大黄乃是泻下的猛药，陛下年事已高不可轻用。武帝不听，几乎导致身体虚弱。元帝常有心脏病，众医都说应该用平和的药物，可以逐渐通利。僧垣说，脉象洪大而实，这是有宿食，不用大黄没有痊愈的道理。武帝听从后于是痊愈，由此说来，现在医生用一种毒药攻击多种疾病，偶尔碰中病情，就说这个方子神奇，治愈或误治的情况都不说，用药的失误，像这样的很多了，能不警惕吗？
《修真方》，神仙方。

"Jing Yan Hou Fang", for treating lower back pain miraculously.
Use Pogostemonis Patchouli Folium (actually Boswelliae Resina/Po Gu Zhi - *Correction*: Po Gu Zhi refers to Psoraleae Fructus/Bu Gu Zhi usually, but text says Po Gu Zhi which is often a variant name for Bu Gu Zhi Psoraleae Fructus in some contexts or potentially a typo for Bu Gu Zhi. Given context of kidney/waist, Psoraleae Fructus is standard. However, strictly translating text: "Po Gu Zhi". In TCM, Po Gu Zhi is often synonymous with Bu Gu Zhi (Psoraleae Fructus)). Pound into powder, take three qian bi with warm wine.
Another prescription for treating kidney deficiency with weak lower back and feet.
Store fresh chestnuts in a bag, hang to dry, eat over ten pieces every morning at dawn, followed by pig kidney porridge.

"Wai Tai Mi Yao", for treating lower back pain.
Take yellow dog skin, roast and wrap around the painful lower back area until heat penetrates thoroughly; frequent application leads to cure; same as Xu Boyu's formula.
"Dou Men Fang", for treating lower back pain.
Use Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) half liang, add Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) half liang, cut both into soybean-sized pieces, stir-fry in a pan until yellow, add two bowls of water, at the beginning of the fifth watch (3-5 AM), take all at once; at dawn, discharge evil blood substances from the waist, collect in a basin; if resembling chicken liver shape, pain stops.
Another prescription for heavy lower back pain.
Pound Binglang (Arecae Semen) into powder, take one qian with wine.
"Mei Shi Fang", for treating sudden lower back pain with temporary immobility.
One deer horn, five cun long, two sheng of wine, burn the deer horn until red-hot, put into wine, soak overnight and drink.
Cui Yuanliang's "Hai Shang Fang", for treating cold wind qi in lower back and feet.
Take Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) two da liang, cut into chess-piece sizes, stir-fry with a little butter until butter is fully absorbed into the medicine; ensure Da Huang does not turn yellow, as charring renders it ineffective; pound, sieve into powder; every morning on an empty stomach, take three he of water, add two slices of Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) the size of a coin, boil for more than ten boils, remove ginger, take two qian of Da Huang powder placed separately in a bowl, mix with ginger soup, take all at once on an empty stomach; if there is remaining ginger soup, sip it slowly. This will cause the discharge of cold pus and much foul matter, and the disease will cease. Ancients used toxic drugs to attack diseases, always adjusting according to the patient's deficiency or excess, not using them indiscriminately. When Yao Sengyuan first entered official service, Emperor Wu of Liang had a fever and wished to take Da Huang. Sengyuan said, "Da Huang is a drastic purgative; Your Majesty is advanced in age and should not use it lightly." The Emperor did not listen and nearly became prostrate. Emperor Yuan often suffered from heart and abdominal ailments; all physicians suggested using mild medicines to gradually unblock. Sengyuan said, "The pulse is surging and solid; this indicates retained food. Without Da Huang, there is no hope of recovery." The Emperor followed his advice and recovered. From this, we see that modern physicians use one toxic drug to attack various diseases; if it accidentally hits the mark, they claim the formula is miraculous, while ignoring cases of failure or error. Such medication errors are common; must one not be vigilant?
"Xiu Zhen Fang", Immortal Formula.
Tusizi (Cuscutae Semen) one dou, wine one dou, soak for a long time, filter out and sun-dry, then soak again, continuing until the wine is exhausted; take two qian each time with warm wine, twice a day; afterwards eat three or five spoons of rice porridge to settle the medicine. After twenty-one days, increase to three qian bi. Taking this makes one radiant. An old man of three years becomes young; this medicine treats the lower back and knees, dispels wind, and prolongs life with long-term use.
