Grind the above into fine powder, mix with wheat paste to make pills the size of wu zi (loquat seeds), and dry in the sun. Take thirty pills with ginger decoction before sleep, or with hot water. Recovery is achieved when phlegm-fluids are purged through defecation.

Treats men and women who, due to fright, sorrow, or loss of will, or excessive rumination, suffer from qi stagnation that fails to disperse. This accumulates into phlegm-saliva, remaining in the pericardium, blocking the heart orifices, leading to incoherent speech, shouting, and running about. Regular use calms the soul, stabilizes the spirit, and tonifies heart qi.

Another prescription: Treats sudden manic episodes without fixed timing, where the patient runs wild screaming, attempting to kill, and disregarding fire and water.

Palpitations arising from fear within the heart present with a Dai (intermittent) or Jie (knotted) pulse. Palpitations caused by diet present with a Chen (deep), Fu (hidden), Dong (thrilling), or Hua (slippery) pulse. Palpitations due to fright belong to Blood deficiency; palpitations occurring intermittently are treated with Zhusha Anshen Wan (Cinnabar Calming the Spirit Pill).
Zhetong (Severe palpitations with a sense of impending doom) belongs to Blood deficiency and occurs constantly. Those with low blood volume often have excessive rumination, leading to deficiency-type heart movement. Intermittent occurrences are due to Phlegm stirred by Fire. Thin individuals mostly suffer from Blood deficiency, while obese individuals mostly suffer from Phlegm. Common palpitations are mostly due to Phlegm. True intense heartbeat sensation indicates Blood deficiency, treatable with Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) combined with Zhusha Anshen Wan. Zhetong manifests as inner unrest, feeling terrified as if being hunted.
