Fusheng Yin (Revival Decoction): Treats all types of umbilical wind with mouth closure (neonatal tetanus characterized by trismus and opisthotonos).
Ingredients: Ya Zao (Gleditsiae Sinensis Fructus Spinosus), Jiang Can (Bombyx Batryticatus), Chuan Shan Jia (Manis Pentadactyla Scale) (each 6 fen); Ma Huang (Ephedrae Herba), Fang Feng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Dan Xing (Arisaematis Cum Bile Rhizoma), Ban Xia (Pinelliae Tuber) (each 5 fen); Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (3 fen); Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) (1 qian, added later, boiled briefly once).
Usage: First, boil the infant's detached umbilical cord in this decoction for five or six boils, then remove the cord. Add the aforementioned herbs and continue boiling. Before administration, add two teaspoons each of Jiang Zhi (Ginger Juice) and Zhu Li (Bamboo Sap), along with a small amount of She Xiang (Musk), mix well, and slowly administer via spoon. If bowel movement becomes unobstructed, there is hope for survival.
Another Prescription: If the above prescription is ineffective, administer this formula next.
Ingredients: Niu Huang (Calculus Bovis), Jiang Can (Bombyx Batryticatus) (each 1 qian); Dan Xing (Arisaematis Cum Bile Rhizoma) (8 fen); She Xiang (Musk) (1 fen).
Preparation and Usage: Grind the above ingredients into fine powder. Take 5 fen per dose, mixed with Ginger Juice for administration.
Feng Qi San (Umbilicus-Sealing Powder): Grind Sheng Nan Xing (Arisaema Cum Bile Rhizoma, raw) into powder and apply to the umbilicus. Avoid exposure to wind.
The tongue is the sprout of the Heart. The Heart belongs to Ministerial Fire (Jun Huo), and its nature is inherently hot. Moreover, infants possess a pure Yang constitution, inheriting heat from the womb and easily contracting external heat postnatally. The occurrence of E Kou (Goose Mouth) and Chong She (Double Tongue) may not necessarily be due to the infant's own pathology but could stem from maternal factors. Ancients said, "To keep an infant safe, often let them be hungry and cold." Hunger prevents damage to the Spleen, and cold prevents the generation of internal heat. This is the way to nurture infants. The term "cold" here does not mean freezing the infant, but merely maintaining a normal temperature, avoiding excessive warmth. With appropriate temperature regulation, how could one suffer from E Kou or Chong She?
Why is it called "Chong She" (Double Tongue)? "Chong" refers to swelling and protrusion under the tongue, resembling an extra layer; thus it is called double, not that there are literally two tongues. Why is it called "E Kou" (Goose Mouth)? E Kou describes a condition where the entire mouth is white, resembling the inside of a goose's mouth, commonly known as Snow Mouth.
Analytically, Chong She belongs to the Heart, while E Kou belongs to the Spleen; collectively, they are attributed to Heart Heat. Why? Because the Heart governs the Spleen (in this context implying their interconnectedness in oral pathology), hence the disease manifests in the mouth. If it were not due to Heart Heat, although the mouth might appear white, the tongue itself would be red. How could the tongue be entirely white?
The general treatment principle is to internally administer formulas that drain Heart Heat and externally apply cooling medications. In this way, Chong She can subside, and the white coating can recede.
