（此本古方，主乌须不验。方外一衲，因予小惠，报以炼法。）
茯神（四两，去心） 赤石脂（火 存性，四两） 辰砂（水飞，二两） 乳香（二两，灯芯
研） 川椒（二两，净，以炭烧黄土地至通红，扫净，置椒于上，以瓦缶掩之，令为出汗）
上五味，为细末，以人乳和稀剂，入鹅、鸭蛋壳内，糊封完固，加以绛袋，令体洁妇人
带于胸乳之间，四十九日，日夕不离，取出干透则成，否则坏。再研，用枣肉和为丸绿豆大
。每日空心人乳送下，或人参、麦门冬汤代之，卧时酒下亦可。凡心血不足，怔忡、健忘等
疾皆宜。
（此方多谓效迟，而有痰者，往往泥膈，遂生厌心，殊不知古人制方，真有口诀。）
生地黄（怀庆新肥者，竹刀切） 麦门冬（去心，二味各一斤半，淡酒浸一日，盐
点汤浸三日） 熟地黄 天门冬（去心膜，二味各一斤半，生姜自然汁浸二日，醇酒浸一日）
上四味，但不犯铁，浸足，同磨，或擂，以渣尽为度，旋加水，亦如造浆粉之法（少加
杏仁，则易澄脚矣）。其澄底药泥，晒干，乳钵成末，加面，取净一斤，用人参，另为细末，四
两。五味共加炼蜜为丸，常服酒下。
易水张氏制此方，东垣晚年始悟用荷叶中虚之义。讵意东南人不识北方炊饭无甑，
类呼为烧，遂讹为荷叶包饭入灰火烧煨，虽丹溪亦未之辨。古诗云瓶中有醋堪烧菜，是也。
白术（君，去梗及油者六两） 枳实（臣，用鹅眼者，以冷水浸软，切片，略炒四两）
上为末，先用新碧荷叶数十，煮汤去叶，入粳米，亦如寻常造饭之法，甑内以荷铺盖，
北方无甑，亦随宜用，但米入汤，自然透绿，方全气味。饭成，乘热以药末揉拌成剂为丸。
食后，任引下。
（这个方子本是古方，主要用于乌须发但效果不显著。一位方外的僧人，因为接受了我的一点小恩惠，所以回报给我这种炼制方法。）
茯神（四两，去掉中心木质部分） 赤石脂（火煅至保留药性，四两） 辰砂（水飞法处理，二两） 乳香（二两，用灯芯草研磨） 川椒（二两，洗净，用炭火烧黄土地直至通红，扫净后，将花椒放在上面，用瓦罐覆盖，使其“出汗”）
以上五味药，研成细末，用人乳调和成稀糊状，装入鹅蛋或鸭蛋壳内，用面糊封固完好，外加红布袋包裹，让身体洁净的妇女佩戴在胸乳之间，经过四十九天，早晚不离身，取出晒干透即制成，否则就会变质。再研细，用枣肉和丸如绿豆大小。每天空腹时用人乳送服，或用参汤、麦冬汤代替，睡前用酒送服也可以。凡是心血不足引起的惊悸、健忘等疾病都适宜服用。
（这个方子很多人说见效慢，且有痰湿的人服用往往会导致胸膈痞闷，从而产生厌恶之心，却不知道古人制方，确实有其中的诀窍。）
生地黄（选用怀庆府新产肥厚者，用竹刀切片） 麦门冬（去心，这两味药各一斤半，用淡酒浸泡一天，再用盐水点过的汤浸泡三天） 熟地黄 天门冬（去心膜，这两味药各一斤半，用生姜自然汁浸泡两天，再用纯酒浸泡一天）
以上四味药，注意不要接触铁器，浸泡足够时间后，一起磨碎或擂碎，直到药渣完全化尽为止，期间可适量加水，也像制作淀粉浆的方法一样（如果少加一点杏仁，则更容易沉淀澄清）。将其底部沉淀的药泥晒干，用乳钵研成粉末，加入面粉，取纯净的一斤，人参另研成细末，四两。将这五味药共同加入炼蜜制成丸剂，常服时用酒送下。
易水张氏（指张元素）制作了此方，李东垣晚年才领悟到使用荷叶中空之意的奥妙。哪里想到东南地区的人不认识北方做饭没有蒸笼，通常把“蒸”称为“烧”，于是误传为用荷叶包饭放入灰中火烧煨熟，即使是朱丹溪也没有辨析清楚。古诗云：“瓶中有醋堪烧菜”，说的就是这个道理。
白术（君药，去掉梗及油脂者六两） 枳实（臣药，选用鹅眼枳实，用冷水浸软，切片，略炒四两）
以上研成粉末，先用新鲜的碧色荷叶数十片，煮汤去叶，加入粳米，也像平常做饭的方法一样，在蒸笼内铺上荷叶盖好，北方如果没有蒸笼，也随宜使用，只要米进入汤中，自然会透出绿色，这样才能保全气味。饭煮熟后，趁热用药末揉拌成团制成丸剂。饭后，随意引服即可。
(This prescription is originally an ancient formula, primarily intended for darkening hair but with unsatisfactory efficacy. A monk from outside the orthodox medical circles, having received a small favor from me, repaid it by providing this refining method.)
Fushen (Poria with Hostwood, 4 liang, remove the central woody core) Chishizhi (Red Halloysite, calcined to retain its properties, 4 liang) Chencha (Cinnabar, processed by water levigation, 2 liang) Ruxiang (Frankincense, 2 liang, ground using lamp wick) Chuanjiao (Sichuan Pepper, 2 liang, cleaned, placed on yellow earth heated red-hot by charcoal fire, covered with a clay jar to induce "sweating")
The above five herbs are ground into fine powder, mixed with human milk to form a thin paste, and filled into goose or duck eggshells. The shells are sealed tightly with flour paste, wrapped in a crimson cloth bag, and worn between the breasts by a clean-bodied woman for forty-nine days, day and night without removal. Once taken out and thoroughly dried, the preparation is complete; otherwise, it will spoil. Grind again, mix with jujube flesh, and roll into pills the size of mung beans. Take daily on an empty stomach with human milk, or substitute with Ginseng Decoction or Ophiopogon Decoction. Taking with wine before bed is also acceptable. This is suitable for conditions such as palpitations and forgetfulness caused by insufficiency of Heart blood.
(Many people claim this formula acts slowly, and those with phlegm often experience chest oppression, leading to aversion. However, they do not realize that the ancients' formulation indeed contained specific principles.)
Shengdihuang (Fresh Rehmannia Root, select fresh and plump ones from Huaiqing, cut with a bamboo knife) Maimendong (Ophiopogon Tuber, remove the heart; these two herbs each weigh one jin and half, soaked in light wine for one day, then soaked in soup seasoned with salt for three days) Shudihuang (Prepared Rehmannia Root) Tianmendong (Asparagus Tuber, remove the heart membrane; these two herbs each weigh one jin and half, soaked in natural ginger juice for two days, then soaked in pure wine for one day)
These four herbs must not come into contact with iron. After sufficient soaking, grind or pound them together until the residue is completely dissolved. Add water as needed, similar to the method of making starch slurry (adding a small amount of Apricot Kernel facilitates clarification). Dry the sediment at the bottom, grind into powder using a mortar, add wheat flour, and take one jin of the purified mixture. Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma is separately ground into fine powder, weighing four liang. Mix these five ingredients with refined honey to form pills. Take regularly with wine.
Zhang Yuansu (Zhang Shi of Yishui) created this formula, and Li Dongyuan only comprehended the significance of the hollow structure of lotus leaves in his later years. It is surprising that people in the Southeast did not recognize that northerners cook rice without steamers (zeng), often referring to steaming as "burning." Thus, it was erroneously believed to be cooked by wrapping rice in lotus leaves and baking in ashes. Even Zhu Danxi failed to clarify this. As the ancient poem states: "Vinegar in the bottle can be used to burn vegetables," referring to this misunderstanding.
Baizhu (Monarch herb, remove stems and oil, 6 liang) Zhishi (Minister herb, use Eyan Zhishi, soak in cold water until soft, slice, and lightly stir-fry, 4 liang)
Grind the above into powder. First, boil dozens of fresh green lotus leaves in water, remove the leaves, and add Japonica Oryzae Semen (rice). Cook like ordinary rice. Line the steamer with lotus leaves. If no steamer is available in the north, use alternative methods, ensuring the rice absorbs the green color naturally to preserve the aroma. While the rice is still hot, mix with the herbal powder to form a dough, then shape into pills. Take after meals, guided by any appropriate liquid.
