(凡二十二则)
紫苏子(主气喘咳嗽) 白芥子(主痰) 萝卜子(主食痞兼痰)
上三味各洗净,微炒,击碎,看何证多,则以所主者为君,余次之,每剂不过三钱,
用生绢小袋盛之,煮作汤饮,随甘旨,代茶水啜用,不宜煎熬太过。若大便素实者,临服加熟
蜜少许,若冬寒,加生姜三片。
此方即倒仓法,传自西域。有人指予投煎剂治痰,而逐推展之。
黄牯牛(一具,选纯黄肥泽无病才一二岁者)
上洗净,取四腿项脊,去筋膜,将精肉切成块子如栗大,秤三十斤,或四五十斤,于
静室,以大铜锅(无则新铁锅)加长流水煮之,不时搅动,另以一新锅煮沸汤,旋加,常使水
淹肉五六寸,掠去浮沫,直煮至肉烂如泥,漉去渣,却将肉汁以细布漉小铜锅,用一色桑柴
文武火候,不住手搅,不加熟水,只以汁渐如稀饧,滴水不散,色如琥珀,其膏成矣。(此
节火候最要小心,不然坏矣。)大段每肉十二斤,可炼膏一斤为度,瓷器盛之,是名霞天膏也
。用调煎剂,初少渐多,沸热自然溶化。若用和丸剂,则每三分,搀白面一分,同煮成糊,
或同炼蜜调匀,寒天久收,若生霉,用重汤煮过,热天冷水窨之,可留三日。

鹿禀纯阳,一名斑龙。 者,天地初分之气,牝牡相感之精也。医书称鹿茸、角、
血、髓,大补益于人,此 则入神矣。其法用初生牡鹿三五双,苑囿驯养,每日以人

紫苏子(主治气喘咳嗽) 白芥子(主治痰饮) 萝卜子(主治食积痞满兼有痰湿)
以上三味药分别洗净,轻微炒制,捣碎。根据患者哪种症状较重,就将该药作为君药(主药),其余药物依次作为臣佐药。每剂药的总量不超过三钱,用细绢小袋装好,加水煮成汤剂饮用。可以配合美味的食物,代替茶水慢慢服用,不宜煎煮过度。如果患者平时大便干结,服药前加入少许熟蜂蜜;如果是冬季寒冷天气,加入生姜三片。
这个方子就是“倒仓法”,传承自西域。有人指点我使用煎剂来治疗痰证,于是我便推演扩展了这个方法。
黄牯牛(一头,选择纯黄色、肥壮润泽、无疾病且才一两岁的牛)
将牛洗净,选取四条腿和颈背部的脊肉,去除筋膜,将精瘦肉切成如栗子大小的块状,称重三十斤或四五十斤。在安静的房间里,用大铜锅(如果没有就用新铁锅)加流动的水长时间煮,不时搅拌。另用一个新锅煮沸汤汁,随时添加,常使水淹没肉五六寸深,撇去浮沫,一直煮到肉烂如泥。滤去渣滓,再将肉汁用细布过滤倒入小铜锅中,用桑木柴以文火武火交替加热,不停地搅拌,不添加生水,只将汁液熬煮至像稀糖浆一样浓稠,滴水不散,颜色像琥珀,膏就成功了。(这一节火候最需要小心,否则就会失败。)大致上每十二斤肉,可炼出一斤膏为标准。用瓷器盛放,这就叫“霞天膏”。用来调配煎剂时,开始用量少,逐渐增加,沸热后自然溶化。如果用来制作丸剂,则每三分药粉,掺入一分白面,一起煮成糊状,或者与炼蜜调匀。冬天长期保存,如果发霉,用隔水蒸过的方法处理;夏天放在冷水中密封保存,可以留存三天。
(以下四个方子是王师秘密传授的:音催。尊虽切。指赤子的阴部。见于《老子》。)
鹿禀赋纯阳之气,又名斑龙。“”是天地初分时的元气,也是雌雄交感产生的精气。医书中称鹿茸、鹿角、鹿血、鹿髓对人有大补益作用,而这个方子则达到了入神妙的境界。其方法是选用初生的公鹿三五对,在苑囿中驯养,每天用人参煎汤,连同各种草药,任由它们饮食。时间久了,将硫磺细末混入饲料中,从少量逐渐增加到多量。干燥时则逐渐减少,周而复始。大约三年之内,有一天鹿会脱毛筋露,阳气旺盛至极,此时另外用母鹿隔着苑囿引诱它,让它想交配却得不到满足,或者让它泄精于体外,或者让它交配一次,然后设法收取它的精液,收集在瓷器中,香气粘稠如糖浆,这就是“”。
根据个人适合的补药,古方如八味地黄丸、补阴丸、固本丸之类。用这种“”加入三分之一的炼蜜,一同调和制成丸剂,或者与鹿角霜一味药混合制成丸剂,空腹时用盐酒送服。用于治疗虚损劳瘵等危重急症尤其见效。我先天体弱羸瘦,依靠此方得以重生,愿与大家共同分享。
(There are twenty-two items in total.)
Perilla Seed (Zisuzi) (indicated for asthma and cough) White Mustard Seed (Baijiezi) (indicated for phlegm) Radish Seed (Luoboziz) (indicated for food stagnation with distension and phlegm).
The above three herbs are washed clean, lightly stir-fried, and crushed. Depending on which symptom is more prominent, the herb corresponding to that symptom serves as the Jun herb (sovereign herb), while the others serve as Chen/Zuo/Shi herbs (minister/assistant/courier herbs). The total dosage per prescription shall not exceed three qian. Place them in a small bag made of fine silk, decoct in water to make a soup for drinking. It can be taken alongside palatable foods, replacing tea, sipped slowly. It should not be over-decocted. If the patient usually has dry stools, add a small amount of cooked honey before taking the medicine. In cold winter weather, add three slices of fresh ginger.
This formula is the "Dao Cang Fa" (Stomach Purging Method), transmitted from the Western Regions. Someone advised me to use decoctions to treat phlegm, so I deduced and expanded upon this method.
Yellow Ox (Hugu Niu) (one head; select a pure yellow, fat, lustrous, disease-free ox of one or two years old).
Clean the ox thoroughly. Select the meat from the four legs and the spinal ridge of the neck. Remove the fascia. Cut the lean meat into pieces the size of chestnuts. Weigh thirty jin or forty to fifty jin. In a quiet room, place the meat in a large copper pot (or a new iron pot if copper is unavailable) with running water. Decoct for a long time, stirring occasionally. Boil the broth separately in another new pot and add it continuously, ensuring the water covers the meat by five to six cun. Skim off the foam. Continue decocting until the meat is rotten like mud. Filter out the dregs. Then filter the meat juice through fine cloth into a small copper pot. Use mulberry wood fire, alternating between Wen Huo (gentle fire) and Wu Huo (vigorous fire), stirring constantly without adding raw water. Decoct only until the liquid becomes thick like thin syrup, does not scatter when dropped, and turns amber-colored. The paste is then complete. (Care must be taken with the fire control in this step, otherwise it will fail.) Generally, every twelve jin of meat yields one jin of paste as the standard. Store in porcelain vessels. This is named "Xia Tian Gao" (Rosy Sky Paste). When used to prepare decoctions, start with a small amount and gradually increase; it melts naturally when boiled hot. If used to prepare pills, mix three fen of the paste with one fen of white flour, cook together into a paste, or blend evenly with refined honey. For long-term storage in winter, if mold appears, boil it in a double boiler. In summer, store it sealed in cold water; it can be kept for three days.
(The following four formulas were secretly taught by Master Wang: Pronounced "Cui". Resembles "Zun Sui Qie". Refers to the yin organ of the newborn child. See *Laozi*.)
Deer possesses pure Yang Qi and is also known as Ban Long ("Spotted Dragon"). "Jing" (referring to deer semen here) is the primordial Qi at the beginning of heaven and earth separation, and the essence generated by the interaction of male and female. Medical texts state that Deer Antler Velvet (Lurong), Deer Horn (Lu Jiao), Deer Blood (Luxue), and Deer Marrow (Lusui) greatly benefit humans. This method reaches a divine level.
The method involves selecting three to five pairs of young male deer, raising them tamed in an enclosure. Every day, provide them with decoction of Ginseng Root (Renshen) mixed with various herbal grasses, allowing them to eat and drink freely. After a long period, mix fine powder of Realgar (Huangshi/Sulfur) into their feed, starting from a small amount and gradually increasing. When the environment is dry, reduce the amount, cycling repeatedly. Within about three years, there will come a day when the deer sheds its hair and reveals its sinews, its Qi becoming extremely abundant and Yang reaching its peak. At this point, induce a female deer outside the enclosure to attract it. Let it desire mating but be unable to achieve it, or allow it to ejaculate externally, or let it mate once, then devise a method to collect its semen. Store it in a porcelain vessel. It will be fragrant and viscous like syrup. This is called "Jing" (Deer Semen).
Combine it with appropriate tonic formulas according to individual needs. Ancient formulas include Ba Wei Di Huang Wan (Eight-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia), Bu Yin Wan (Nourish Yin Pill), Gu Ben Wan (Solidify Root Pill), etc. Add one-third refined honey to this "Jing", mix well to form pills. Alternatively, mix it with Lu Jiao Shuang (Deer Antler Powder) alone to form pills. Take on an empty stomach with salted wine. It is especially effective in treating severe cases of deficiency consumption (Xu Zhai). My congenital weakness and emaciation relied on this to be reborn. I wish to share it with everyone.
