(This syndrome arises from the aftermath of febrile diseases, severe vomiting and diarrhea, or excessive use of cold-natured medicines. The patient presents with a bluish-white complexion, spasms in the hands and feet, coldness of the whole body and limbs, silence, bluish or white stool and urine, half-opened and half-closed eyes, gradually evolving into symptoms of Pi Feng (Spleen Wind), with fingers sometimes opening and closing. If Ji Jing (Urgent Convulsion) persists without improvement and is treated with excessive cold-natured medicines, leading to deficiency-cold of the Spleen and Stomach and transforming into Man Jing (Slow Convulsion), it is often particularly difficult to treat.)
Qian Shi Bai Zhu San (White Atractylodes Macrocephala Powder by Qian Yi) (Used for prolonged vomiting and diarrhea causing exhaustion of Jin Ye (Body Fluids) and thirst, approaching the onset of Man Jing. This formula has a mild nature and flavor, and is a critical prescription for treating Man Jing.)
Ge Gen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix, Bu Jin Ye [Replenishes Body Fluids], 2 qian) Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) Bai Fu Ling (Poria) Mu Xiang (Aucklandiae Radix) Huo Xiang (Agastaches Herba) Gan Cao (Licorice Root) (each 1 qian)
If diarrhea persists, add Shan Yao (Dioscoreae Rhizoma), Chao Bai Bian Dou (Stir-fried Phaseoli Semen Album), Rou Dou Kou (Myristicae Semen) wrapped in vinegar-dough and roasted then oil removed, each 5 fen; Sui Chao Sha Ren (Crushed and Stir-fried Amomi Fructus) 3 fen. After severe diarrhea, Zhong Qi (Middle Jiao Qi) sinks, so Sheng Ti (Lifting) is indicated; add Jiu Xi Sheng Ma (Wine-washed Cimicifugae Rhizoma) and Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix), each 3 fen.
If vomiting persists, add Ding Xiang (Caryophylli Flos) and Chao Sha Ren (Stir-fried Amomi Fructus), each 5 fen. After severe vomiting, Shun Qi (Regulating Qi) is indicated; add Qu Pi Xin Jiu Xi Wu Yao (Skin-and-heart-removed, Wine-washed Linderae Radix) 3 fen.
If Jin Ye (Body Fluids) are exhausted, add Qu Xin Tian Men Dong (Heart-removed Asparagi Radix) 7 fen, Zao Rou (Date Flesh) 5 fen.
If there is excessive thirst, add Tian Hua Fen (Trichosanthis Radix) 7 fen.
If Man Jing (Slow Convulsion) has already formed, add Tian Ma (Gastrodiae Rhizoma) 5 fen, Xi Xin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma) 2.5 fen, Pao Zhi Bai Fu Zi (Prepared Typhonii Rhizoma) 1.5 fen, Jiang Chao Quan Xie (Ginger-stir-fried Scorpio) 1 piece.
If residual Qi deficiency after severe illness presents with □ (missing character, likely 'wheezing'), double the Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), add Huang (missing character, likely 'Qi' i.e., Astragali Radix) 1 qian.
If triggered by excessive use of cold medicines, double the Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), add Pao Zhi Rou Dou Kou (Prepared Myristicae Semen) 7 fen, Rou Gui (Cinnamomi Cortex) 3 fen, □□ (missing characters) 2.5 fen.
If there is Deficiency Heat, add Qu Xin Mai Men Dong (Heart-removed Ophiopogonis Radix) 1 qian, Qian Hu (Peucedani Radix) 7 fen, Zhu Sha (Cinnabar) 2.5 fen.
If the complexion is bluish-white, double the Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), add Cao Long Dan (Gentiana Scabra), Qian Hu (Peucedani Radix), Fang Feng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), each 7 fen.
If the whole body and limbs are cold, double the Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), add Cang Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), Gui Zhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus), each 5 fen.
If stool and urine are bluish-white, add Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix), Chao Hei Shan Zhi Zi (Stir-fried Black Gardenia Fruit), Cao Long Dan (Gentiana Scabra), Fang Feng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), each 5 fen. (Whenever stool is green, cold foods like noodles are strictly prohibited. This formula specifically tonifies the Liver; thus, these four herbs are added to disperse Liver Wood pathogenic qi.)
If eyes are half-open and half-closed, indicating transformation into Pi Feng (Spleen Wind) signs, add Ding Xiang (Caryophylli Flos), Pao Zhi Rou Dou Kou (Prepared Myristicae Semen), Tian Ma (Gastrodiae Rhizoma), Jiang Chao Bai Jiang Can (Ginger-stir-fried Bombyx Batryticatus), each 5 fen; Pao Zhi Bai Fu Zi (Prepared Typhonii Rhizoma) 1.5 fen; Jiang Chao Quan Xie (Ginger-stir-fried Scorpio) 1 piece.
If fingers open and close, add Dan Xing (Arisaematis Cum Bile), Tian Ma (Gastrodiae Rhizoma), Bai Jiang Can (Bombyx Batryticatus), Fang Feng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), each 5 fen; Quan Xie (Scorpio), Bo Gui (Thin Cinnamon Twig), each 3 fen; Zhu Li (Bambusa Textilis Sap) and Jiang Zhi (Zingiberis Recens Juice), each half spoon.
If the thumb deviates during opening/closing, double the Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), add Mi Zhi Huang (Honey-roasted Astragali Radix) 1 qian, Dan Xing (Arisaematis Cum Bile), Jiang Chao Bai Jiang Can (Ginger-stir-fried Bombyx Batryticatus), each 7 fen; Pao Zhi Chuan Wu (Prepared Aconiti Kusnezoffii Radix) 2.5 fen. (Difficult to treat.)
If all eight postures/symptoms appear, double the Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) and administer with Hua Feng Dan (Wind-Transforming Pill). I observe that Man Jing (Slow Convulsion) often develops due to persistent vomiting/diarrhea and exhaustion of Jin Ye (Body Fluids). Thus, Bai Zhu San (White Atractylodes Macrocephala Powder) specifically tonifies HT (likely typo for Pi/Spleen), relying only on Ge Gen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix) to generate fluids, which may be too slow. Ancient formulas state: Add Bai Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) to Bao Yuan Tang (Preserve Origin Decoction) as a guiding herb; nourishing blood allows wind to subside and fire to descend. One must add Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) and Bai Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) to nourish Spleen-Stomach exhaustion, and use Ding Xiang (Caryophylli Flos) and Sha Ren (Amomi Fructus) to gather rebellious Qi; this seems feasible.
Bao Yuan Tang (Preserve Origin Decoction) (Treats black-green stool color. Green stool is an ominous sign of Man Jing (Slow Convulsion); using this formula urgently for prevention is advisable. Green stool results from Wind Wood overacting on Earth. First tonify Spleen Earth; when Earth generates Metal strongly, Wood naturally weakens, and Fire retreats. This is because strong Qi causes Fire to retreat... When Earth is solid, Wood weakens because the Spleen is prosperous and not controlled by the Liver, while Metal controls Wood.)
Mi Zhi Huang Qi (Honey-roasted Astragali Radix, 2 qian) Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, 1 qian) Zhi Gan Cao (Roasted Licorice Root, 5 fen)
This formula primarily tonifies the Spleen, hence Huang Qi (Astragali Radix) at 2 qian is the Jun (Emperor) herb. Bai Zhu San (White Atractylodes Macrocephala Powder) primarily generates fluids, hence Ge Gen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix) at 2 qian is the Jun (Emperor) herb. Both intentions are good. Users should vary and adjust flexibly.
Another method: Use Jiu Chao Bai Shao Yao (Wine-stir-fried Paeoniae Radix Alba) at 5 fen as the Shi (Assistant/Guide) herb; nourishing blood is excellent.
If stool is black, add Gan Chao Sheng Di Huang (Dry-stir-fried Rehmanniae Radix) 1 qian; Jiu Chao Rou Gui (Wine-stir-fried Cinnamomi Cortex) and Xuan Shen (Scrophulariae Radix), each 5 fen; Jiu Chao Hei Huang Bo (Wine-stir-fried Black Phellodendri Cortex) 2.5 fen.
If eyes lack luster and stare in alarm, add Mi Zhi Chai Hu (Honey-roasted Bupleuri Radix) 5 fen; Qian Hu (Peucedani Radix), Jiu Chao Shan Zhi Zi (Wine-stir-fried Gardenia Fruit), Gan Chao Shu Di Huang (Dry-stir-fried Prepared Rehmanniae Radix), Jiu Zheng Shan Zhu Yu (Wine-steamed Corni Fructus), Fang Feng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Yan Shui Chao Yi Zhi Ren (Salt-water-stir-fried Alpiniae Oxyphyllae Fructus), each 5 fen.
If sclera is mostly blue, add Shan Yao (Dioscoreae Rhizoma), Qu Xin Tian Men Dong (Heart-removed Asparagi Radix), E Jiao Zhu (Donkey-hide Gelatin Pellet), Mi Chao Chai Hu (Honey-stir-fried Bupleuri Radix), Fang Feng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), each 5 fen; Qing Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride) 2.5 fen. (When Lung Qi is prosperous, Liver Wood naturally weakens.)
If transformed into Man Jing (Slow Convulsion) due to vomiting/diarrhea, presenting as Half-Yin Half-Yang syndrome, add Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) 1 qian, Jiu Chao Bai Shao Yao (Wine-stir-fried Paeoniae Radix Alba) 7 fen, Bai Fu Ling (Poria) 4 fen, Huang Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma) 2 fen, named Yi Huang San (Benefit Yellow Powder).
If due to persistent vomiting/diarrhea, Spleen-Stomach lethargy, silence, remove Huang Qi (Astragali Radix); add Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Bai Fu Ling (Poria), Pao Zhi Bai Fu Zi (Prepared Typhonii Rhizoma), Gan Chao Bai Jiang Can (Dry-stir-fried Bombyx Batryticatus), Tian Ma (Gastrodiae Rhizoma), Mu Xiang (Aucklandiae Radix), each 5 fen; Gan Chao Quan Xie (Dry-stir-fried Scorpio) 2.5 fen; Gan Jiang (Dried Ginger) 3 slices, Da Zao (Jujubae Fructus) 2 pieces, named Xing Pi San (Awaken Spleen Powder).
If vomiting persists, add Chao Sha Ren (Stir-fried Amomi Fructus), Jiu Xi Huo Xiang (Wine-washed Agastaches Herba), each 5 fen.
If diarrhea persists, add Chao Sha Ren (Stir-fried Amomi Fructus) 7 fen, Sheng Ma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma) 3 fen. Man Jing (Slow Convulsion) is a critical condition; complex herbs delay efficacy. Since Prosperous Spleen Qi weakens Wood and retreats Fire, it is appropriate to first use Bao Yuan Tang (Preserve Origin Decoction) for 2-3 doses to support True Yuan (True Origin).
Ming Tuo San (Life-Seizing Powder) (This formula applies regardless of Ji Jing (Urgent Convulsion) or Man Jing (Slow Convulsion); if phlegm obstructs the throat with roaring sounds, preventing any medicine from passing, and life is imminent, use only this medicine. Upon entering the throat, phlegm drops down, achieving complete efficacy, seizing the creation of Heaven and Earth.)
Qing Meng Shi (Calcareum Aureum) Yan Xiao (Saltpeter) (each 1 liang)
Place these two ingredients in a pot, roast over fire until smoke ceases, wait until Meng Shi (Calcareum Aureum) turns golden, take and grind into fine powder. Administer with Bo He Zhi (Menthae Haplocalycis Juice) and honey, warm. Black phlegm drops out via stool, followed by convulsion-treating agents. Although Meng Shi (Calcareum Aureum) benefits phlegm resolution, it is not favored by the Stomach; add Mu Xiang (Aucklandiae Radix) 2 qian to assist.
Another method: For phlegm obstruction in the throat with spasms, administer Su He Wan (Styrax Pill) mixed with Bo He Tang (Mint Decoction) and a little Jiang Zhi (Zingiberis Recens Juice) via gavage (or mixed with Sesame Oil). Phlegm rises due to Qi stagnation; when Qi flows smoothly, phlegm resolves and spasms stop.
For pediatric seasonal cough, asthma, and abundant phlegm, taking Su He Wan (Styrax Pill) induces either expectoration or bowel movement. Mixing Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) 2-3 fen with tea for administration is best.
Bao You Hua Feng Dan (Protect Childhood Wind-Transforming Pill) (Treats Ji Jing (Urgent Convulsion) and Man Jing (Slow Convulsion) when all eight postures/symptoms appear.)
Nan Xing (Arisaema Cum Bile) Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) Chuan Wu (Aconiti Kusnezoffii Radix) Bai Fu Zi (Typhonii Rhizoma) (each 1 liang) Yu Jin (Curcumae Radix) (5 qian)
Grind all into powder, place inside a yellow ox gallbladder collected in the twelfth lunar month, dry in shade for 100 days. Take the medicine, grind to powder. For every 1 liang, add Niu Huang (Bovis Calculus), Zhu Sha (Cinnabar), Peng Sha (Borax), Yan Xiao (Saltpeter) each 1 qian; Pian Nao (Borneolum Syntheticum), She Xiang (Moschus) a small amount. Mix all into powder, form pills with honey the size of pea seeds. Grind 1-2 pills in Deng Xin Cao Bo He Tang (Juncus Effusus Mint Decoction) and administer. This agent is very toxic; do not use lightly. However, after all eight postures of convulsion appear, survival is unlikely; using this formula to calm and revive, followed immediately by Yuan Bu Tiao Li (Origin-Tonifying Regulation) agents, is one approach.
Bei Ji Wan (Emergency-Prepared Pill) (Treats Ji Jing (Urgent Convulsion), also treats Man Jing (Slow Convulsion).)
On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, collect Bai Jing Qiu Yin (White-intestined Earthworm), any quantity. Remove mud, bake dry, and grind to powder. Add equal parts Zhu Sha (Cinnabar), bind with paste into pills the size of mung beans, coat with Jin Bo (Gold Foil). Administer one pill with boiling water. This formula uses earthworms cut with a bamboo knife: those jumping vigorously treat Ji Jing (Urgent Convulsion); those jumping slowly treat Man Jing (Slow Convulsion). Extremely effective.
