世俗所称慢惊风者。不知起于何代。创是名者。其遗祸于婴孩。已不啻万亿矣。盖就其
所指之病而论。如吐泻兼作。气怯神倦。虚烦搐搦。痰喘不食。脉虚无神。睡则露睛等症。乃
与病名毫不相关。其所指之症。是或由外感未清。或诸病误治。或饮食失调。或由病后而
成。以致吐则伤胃。泻则伤脾。土衰则不生金。中虚木必乘克。是皆肝脾肺胃之病。治宜急
顾本原。扶土生金。安胃和肝。温养肾阳。犹虑弗及。若就其名而治之。医家胸中。先执慢惊

因中土已虚。风木已动。延久必现出似惊之状耳。实则并非因惊而起也。奈何竟以慢惊
风名之。岂非指鹿为马乎。要之慢字。若以急慢而论。则凡病之缓者。皆可称为慢。惟惊乃
属急症。不可以慢字加之。若以傲慢。肆慢而讲。于病名上。又甚荒唐。惟愿观幼科书者。当
知其背谬不通。勿为其所惑。则幸甚。今观先生案中。并未尝用及惊药风药。是明征也。此
症更当兼参东垣立斋景岳诸法而治之。则无遗蕴矣。（华岫云）
Wu: The child has fever, spits up milk, and has spontaneous diarrhea. This is caused by warm pathogenic factors disturbing the spleen and stomach internally. In young children, one must guard against convulsions. (Etiology: Warm Pathogen)
Prescription: Huoxiang Ye (Agastache Leaf), Fei Huashi (Prepared Talcum).
Wang: The child is under one year old. Heat pathogens invade the spleen and stomach, causing vomiting, regurgitation, and diarrhea. High fever persists without abating, with a high risk of transforming into slow convulsions.
Prescription: Renshen (Ginseng Root), Chuanlian (Coptis Rhizome), Huangqin (Scutellaria Root), Huoxiang Geng (Pogostemon Stem), Guangpi (Tangerine Peel), Sheng Baishao (Raw White Peony Root), Wumei (Mume Fruit).
Certain patient: Summer-heat pathogens attack the lung. During the period when Earth rules (late summer), the spleen and stomach are inherently weak and fail to transport and transform. Affected by summer-dampness, there is abdominal borborygmus, diarrhea, nausea, eyes half-open (exposing the whites), and fear of progressing to slow convulsions.
(Etiology: Summer-Dampness)
Prescription: Renshen (Ginseng Root), Huoxiang (Patchouli), Chao Houpo (Stir-fried Magnolia Bark), Mugua (Chaenomeles Fruit), Chuanlian (Coptis Rhizome), Fuling (Poria), Chao Bian Dou (Stir-fried Lablab Bean), Zexie (Alisma Rhizome).
Zhang: Food retention syndrome. Referencing the principle of Wuji San used in ancient times, the aim is to warm the stomach to facilitate rotting and ripening. Since there is frequent upward surging and vomiting, along with loose stools, the Stomach Qi is further damaged. Yang Qi is trapped and increasingly compromised; clear Yang fails to ascend, turbid Yin fails to descend. Phlegm floods causing dry retching, abdominal borborygmus, fecal incontinence, eyes half-open during sleep, black gums, purple lips, and complete absence of urination. Yang Qi does not circulate freely, leading to natural consumption of body fluids. There is danger of slow convulsions and syncope. The proposal is to unblock and tonify Stomach Yang. Studying the works of Qian Yi and Xue Ji allows one to understand this intent. (Pathogenesis: Injury to Stomach Yang)
Prescription: Renshen (Ginseng Root), Yujin (Curcuma Longa Rhizome), Chao Banxia (Stir-fried Pinellia Tuber), Chao Baifuzi (Stir-fried Typhonii Rhizoma), Fuling (Poria), Changpu (Acorus Rhizome), Chao Guangpi (Stir-fried Tangerine Peel), Chao Jingsmi (Stir-fried Rice).
Second visit: Yangming Stomach Yang is injured. For fu-organ diseases, unblocking serves as tonification. If central-stabilizing methods are used, it will inevitably lead to stagnation and rebellion. The prescription used yesterday achieved peace through unblocking rather than tonification. Young children do not suffer from true deficiency-cold diseases.
Prescription: Renshen (Ginseng Root), Fuling (Poria), Yizhi (Alpinia Oxyphylla Fruit), Guangpi (Tangerine Peel), Chao Heye (Stir-fried Lotus Leaf), Chao Jingsmi (Stir-fried Rice).
Third visit: Sweating from the nose, bleeding gums. This indicates Yangming deficiency and unharmonized Stomach Qi. Cooling and descending methods are inappropriate. Add Chao Guangpi (Stir-fried Tangerine Peel) to Liushen Tang.
Yu: The complexion is sallow and withered, pulse is wiry and slow. Liquids and food are vomited immediately after swallowing. Spirit is listless, resembling drowsiness or coma. This indicates severe lack of Stomach Yang, with Liver Wood overacting on Spleen Earth, gradually extending to jue-ni (cold reversal). Commonly known as the critical condition of "slow spleen." The infant has a weak constitution, and the disease has persisted for over half a month. How can one casually use mediocre medicines? Following Zhang Zhongjing's principle: "For those who desire to vomit after eating, Wuzhuyu Tang governs."
Prescription: Renshen (Ginseng Root), Wuyu (Evodia Fruit), Fuling (Poria), Banxia (Pinellia Tuber), Jiangzhi (Ginger Juice).
Second visit: Yesterday, the method of draining Liver Wood to save Spleen Earth was used, resulting in cessation of vomiting. However, Middle Jiao Yang Qi is severely deficient. Turbid Qi surging upward leads to syncope; failure of fluids to ascend causes dry lips and tongue. How can bitter-cold herbs be used again to destroy vital Qi? Currently, the child sleeps with listless spirit, indicating Yang sinking into Yin. There is no doubt about this. Zhang Zhongjing advocates unblocking Yang and managing deficiency; later experts Qian Yi and Xue Ji all followed this principle.
Prescription: Renshen (Ginseng Root), Chao Banxia (Stir-fried Pinellia Tuber), Fuling (Poria), Guangpi (Tangerine Peel), Wei Jiang (Baked Ginger), Nanzao (Southern Jujube).
Su: The child is only one year old, forced to eat fishy and wheat foods. Body temperature is not significantly elevated, but spirit is dull. Upper vomiting and lower diarrhea occur. One must most vigilantly prevent transformation into slow convulsions. This is food injuring the spleen and stomach, representing excess. Due to excessive vomiting and diarrhea, Zheng Qi (Upright Qi) is disturbed and damaged. (Etiology: Food Injury to Spleen and Stomach)
Prescription: Guangpi (Tangerine Peel), Houpo (Magnolia Bark), Fuling (Poria), Guang Huoxiang (Broadleaf Patchouli), Sheng Yizhi (Raw Alpinia Oxyphylla Fruit), Mugua (Chaenomeles Fruit).
Chen: External cool wind received, internal heat constrained and latent. Urticaria appears on the body. Stool contains bloody mucus. Irritability and thirst. Although sweating occurred, only external wind was resolved; internal heat stagnation remains unharmonized. Abdominal discomfort described as "chou ji" (whimpering/pain). Stool still contains stagnation. Clearing the interior is correct, but at six months old and not yet consuming grain, the stomach is weak and prone to convulsive disorders. Medication should be administered in small amounts. (Etiology: Constrained Heat Latent Internally)
Prescription: Huoxiang Geng (Pogostemon Stem), Chuanlian (Coptis Rhizome), Huangqin (Scutellaria Root), Sheng Baishao (Raw White Peony Root), Dan Zhuye (Lophatherum Leaf), Guangpi (Tangerine Peel), Huashi (Talcum), Chao Zharon Rou (Stir-fried Hawthorn Flesh).
Yu: Form and spirit are depleted. Diarrhea is purely white. Carbuncles and gan erosion have not subsided. Asthma and rising phlegm indicate extreme damage. Now, Stomach deficiency leads to reduced intake. If internal wind stirs, convulsions will arrive immediately. Who does not know that illness arises from deficiency? (Pathogenesis: Stomach Yang Deficiency)
Prescription: Renshen (Ginseng Root), Chao Jingsmi (Stir-fried Rice), Fushen (Poria with Hostwood), Chao Guangpi (Stir-fried Tangerine Peel), Chao Heti (Stir-fried Lotus Peduncle).
Lu (12 years old): Blood in phlegm, vomiting after eating. Caused by fright and falling leading to Qi rebellion, resulting in disharmony of the Stomach. Given Huanglian Wendan Tang. Due to weak age and constitution, Jinshihu (Dendrobium) replaces certain ingredients. (Pathogenesis: Stomach Disharmony)
Prescription: Wendan Tang minus Gancao, plus Jinshihu (Dendrobium Stem) and Jiangzhi (Ginger Juice).
Certain patient (9 years old): Chronic vomiting, low food intake. (Pathogenesis: Stomach Deficiency with Qi Rebellion)
Prescription: Renshen (Ginseng Root), Banxia (Pinellia Tuber), Fuling (Poria), Guangpi (Tangerine Peel), Jiangzhi (Ginger Juice).
Certain patient: Ascaris jue (roundworm cold reversal), lower abdominal pain, desire to vomit. Anwei Wan.
Wang (9 years old): Chronic diarrhea, accompanied by skin sores. This is dampness prevailing with heat constraint. Bitter-cold herbs must be assisted with wind-dispelling herbs, aligning with Dongyuan's principle: "Spleen prefers ascending, Stomach prefers descending." (Etiology: Damp-Heat)
Prescription: Renshen (Ginseng Root), Chuanlian (Coptis Rhizome), Huangbai (Phellodendron Bark), Zhi Cao (Honey-fried Licorice Root), Guangpi (Tangerine Peel), Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome), Shenqu (Medicated Leaven), Maiya (Barley Sprout), Chaihu (Bupleurum Root), Shengma (Cimicifuga Rhizome), Qianghuo (Notopterygium Rhizome), Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia Root).
He (11 years old): Disease started in summer, persists into winter with abdominal pain and dysenteric accumulation. Children's dietary indiscretion causes repeated gastrointestinal stagnation. Prolonged diarrhea injures Yin. Fever and coughing/choking occur. First treat by regulating Yin and clearing fu-organ stagnation and turbidity. (Etiology: Prolonged Dysentery Injuring Yin, Unclear Stagnation)
Prescription: Shudi Tan (Charred Rehmannia Root), Danggui Tan (Charred Angelica Sinensis Root), Shanzha (Hawthorn Fruit), Pao Jiang (Processed Ginger), Zhi Cao (Honey-fried Licorice Root), Fuling (Poria), Maiya (Barley Sprout).
The term "Slow Convulsions" commonly used by the secular world, originating from an unknown dynasty, has inflicted calamities upon infants beyond counting. Regarding the diseases it refers to, such as simultaneous vomiting and diarrhea, timidity and fatigue, empty irritability and spasms, phlegmatic asthma and anorexia, pulse void and spiritless, eyes half-open during sleep—these symptoms are irrelevant to the name "Slow Convulsions." The symptoms referred to may arise from unresolved external contraction, mismanagement of various diseases, dietary irregularity, or post-illness conditions. Thus, vomiting injures the Stomach, diarrhea injures the Spleen. When Earth is deficient, it fails to generate Metal; when the Center is deficient, Wood inevitably overacts. These are diseases of the Liver, Spleen, Lung, and Stomach. Treatment should urgently attend to the root, support Earth to generate Metal, calm the Stomach and harmonize the Liver, and warm/nourish Kidney Yang. One might still worry about insufficiency. If treatment follows the name, physicians fixate on the three characters "Slow Convulsions," indiscriminately using heavy/sinking drugs to settle fright and timidity, or dispersing wind and clearing fire, resolving phlegm and breaking Qi. The resulting harm is incalculable. This condition arises because Middle Earth is already deficient and Wind Wood is already moving; prolonged duration manifests a state resembling convulsions. In reality, it does not originate from fright. Why name it "Slow Convulsions"? Is this not calling a deer a horse? Essentially, if "slow" refers to speed, any chronic disease could be called slow. Only "convulsion" belongs to acute conditions and should not be prefixed with "slow." If interpreted as arrogance or negligence, applying it to a disease name is absurd. I hope readers of pediatric texts recognize this fallacy and are not misled. It is fortunate. Observing Mr. Ye's cases, he never uses anti-convulsant or wind-dispersing herbs, which is clear evidence. This condition should also be treated by referencing the methods of Dongyuan, Liza, and Jingyue, leaving nothing omitted. (Commentary by Hua Xiuyun)
