运气 心痛凡热风湿寒燥五气之初，皆能干心而痛，盖心为五脏之主故也。
一曰热邪干心。经云∶少阴司天，热淫所胜，病心痛肺 。又云∶少阴之复，暴喑心痛。

〔《灵》〕厥心痛，与背相控，善 ，如从后触其心，伛偻者，肾心痛也，先取京骨、昆仑，发
Between one day and night, the condition occurs six or seven times. During an episode, a sour lump rises directly from the chest and diaphragm up to the throat, presenting a very distressing situation. All other medications were then discontinued. Coptidis Rhizoma (Huanglian, 黄连) was decocted strongly, cooled, and when the sour lump was about to rise, a few drops of the cold Coptidis Rhizoma juice were administered, causing the lump to retreat. After repeating this six or seven times, over approximately half a day, the lump disappeared. Medication was then stopped, and nourishment was provided with light rice gruel. Nearly three months later, around ten days after the Start of Spring solar term, there was slight distension and urgency at the Zhongwan (CV12) point, the face appeared bluish, and breathing was panting. The weather was still cold. I reasoned that the Spleen Earth had weakened due to prolonged illness, and the Liver Wood Qi was in command; this is Liver Qi invading the Spleen. I urgently administered Suo Ju San He Tang, and by the fourth day, the patient was stable.
A woman in her forties suffered from Heart Pain (Xintong) after twenty years of worry and anxiety. The pain could sometimes be relieved by pressure and sometimes aggravated by it. Her appetite was significantly reduced, she felt thirsty but could not drink water, and she was emaciated with visible bones. When the Heart Pain ceased, Headache (Tou Tong) would begin, with no fixed location for the pain. When the Headache ceased, the Heart Pain would return. She could not sleep at all at night, and bowel movements occurred only once every seven or eight days; the stool was hard, small, black, and difficult to pass. She had taken roughly over a hundred doses of Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) added with Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) and raw Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma). Although the condition did not worsen, it did not improve either. I said: This is because the Lung has been long constrained by Fire, preventing Qi from moving, which in turn causes Blood to accumulate and block, becoming turbid. Qi stagnation causes Headache, and turbid Blood failing to circulate causes Heart Pain; these are essentially the same disease. Treating the Lung should lead to self-healing. Therefore, following Dongyuan's Qingkong Gao (Clearing Heaven Paste) formula example, Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) slices were finely cut, thoroughly stir-fried with wine until reddish, ground into fine powder, and taken mixed with hot Baizhu Tang (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Decoction). Slight sweating on the head occurred. After taking this for more than ten doses, sweating gradually spread to the entire body, stopping at the knees, and all diseases were cured. Because there was no sweating below the knees, the body was emaciated, the disease was chronic, urination was frequent, defecation was obstructed, and both wrists showed a Choppy pulse (Se Mai, 涩脉), blood-nourishing measures should be discussed to prevent future complications. Asking if she desired water but did not drink, I prescribed Siwu Tang added with Chenpi, raw Gancao, Taoren (Persicae Semen), and wine-fried Huangqin to nourish, and she recovered.
Interior Excess type Heart Pain is characterized by fullness and pain upon palpation, indicating Excess. Danxi stated: If the pulse for Heart Pain is firm and solid, and there is constipation, use purgation.
[Luo] Huachong Wan (Parasite-Destroying Pill)
Narthex root (Sheshi, 鹤虱) Areca seed (Binglang, 槟榔) Lead oxide (Hufen, 胡粉 - fried) Toosendan fruit bark (Kuilian gen, 苦楝根 - remove thick bark, each 50 liang) Alum (Baifan, 白矾 - sublimed, 12 liang)
Grind the above into powder, make pills with wheat paste the size of paulownia seeds. Children's diseases often involve various parasites, which may move due to weakness of the Zang-Fu organs or due to consuming sweet and fatty foods. When they move, abdominal pain occurs, attacking up and down. If it attacks the Heart causing pain, the child cries incessantly, closes eyes, arches back, flails hands, feels mental confusion and oppression, vomits saliva or clear water, limbs become emaciated and weak, complexion is blue-yellow. Although food intake continues, muscles do not grow. Symptoms may be cold or hot, dull and silent, with uncertain location of pain. One-year-old infants take five pills, washed down with warm grain water, adding one or two drops of sesame oil, mixed well before administration. Rice drink is also acceptable; the parasites will naturally be expelled.
[Baoming Ji] Miaoxiang Wan treats Heart Pain in men and women, accompanied by strong spasms, convulsions, and fever resembling epilepsy. (Formula see Dryness Section)
For Wind Epilepsy (Feng Xian), guide Miaoxiang Wan with Qianghuo Tang. (Qianghuo Tang formula see Wind Conditions Section.) For Blood Epilepsy (Xue Xian), guide Miaoxiang Wan with Danggui Tang. (Danggui Tang formula see Blood Conditions Section.)
[Danxi] For Parasite Pain, white spots appear on the face, lips are red, and appetite is good. Treatment uses Toosendan root and Tin Ash. If the pulse is firm and solid with constipation, use purgation.
[Luo] Bujin San treats various parasites.
Narthex root (raw) Polyporus (Leiyuan, 雷丸) Calamine (Dingfen, 定粉) Tin Ash (Xihui, 锡灰) (Equal parts)
Grind into powder. Take 3 qian per dose, mix with a little oil and take on an empty stomach. Alternatively, roast one liang of pork, sprinkle the medicine on it, and chew thoroughly. Or, use a feather to sweep 1 qian of Kansui Radix (Gansui, 甘遂) powder and take it with the previous medicine; the parasites will be expelled.
[Bencao] Formula for Taenia (Cunbai Chong). Stir-fry Black Lead Ash (Qianhui, 铅灰), 4 qian per dose. First eat a little dried pork jerky. After one hour, mix the ash with half a cup of strong sugar water and take at Wugeng time (3-5 AM). The parasites will be fully expelled. Nourish with white rice gruel. Effective within one day.
Another treatment for Taenia using Tin Ash, Xanthium seed (Wuyi, 芜荑), and Areca seed is excellent.
During the Xuanhe era, I often felt gastric discomfort and wanted to drink, suspecting parasites. I casually followed the methods described in the aforementioned formulas. The next day, I expelled two long worms. One was two chi five cun long, with a broad flat head and sharp tail, segmented every cun, patterned like brocade. The other was entirely broken into segments. *Qianjin Fang* states that labor generates heat, and heat generates parasites. The Heart parasite is called Ascaris (Hui, 蛔); the Spleen parasite is Taenia (Cunbai, 寸白); the Kidney parasite resembles cut threads; the Liver parasite resembles rotten apricots; the Lung parasite resembles silkworms. All can be fatal, but the Lung parasite is most urgent. The Lung parasite resides within the lung lobes, eroding the lung system, thus forming Tuberculosis (Zhai Ji, 瘵疾), characterized by hemoptysis and hoarseness. Medicine cannot reach it easily, making treatment difficult. Daoist texts record that parasite heads generally move downward, except from the first to the fifth day of the lunar month, when they move upward. Therefore, medication is often taken before the beginning of the month, likely for this reason.
Formula to expel Taenia.
Kaolin (Huafen, 画粉) Litharge (Miduoseng, 密陀僧) (Equal parts)
Grind into powder. Take 2 qian per dose, mix with hempseed oil and take on an empty stomach. It will turn into saliva and be expelled shortly.

[Danxi] Treats various parasites. Toosendan bark fine powder, mix with rice drink and take 2 qian bi. (*Doumen Fang*.)

Use 2 liang of Shizhou Xanthium kernel, stir-fry with flour until yellow, grind into powder. Take 2 qian bi mixed with rice drink at non-meal times. Curative.
*[Jing]* Treats Ascaris vomiting water and Heart Pain. Narthex root 3 liang, grind into powder, make pills with honey. Take 20 pills with grain water in the morning. Curative. *Qianjin Fang* says to take as powder with warm vinegar water on an empty stomach; the parasite should be expelled.
*[Jing]* Cold retained food in the chest often leads to Taenia. Every morning on an empty stomach, take 3 qian of Manjakja powder (Shandougen, 山豆根) mixed with hot wine. The parasite will come out naturally.
*[Jianyi Jizhong Fang]* Treats various parasites lingering in the Zang-Fu for a long time without cure. Areca seed 0.5 liang, processed, grind into powder. Take 1-2 qian per dose, mix with scallion and honey decoction, take on an empty stomach.
*[Waitai Miyao]* Treats Ascaris Heart Pain, nausea, and vomiting of water. Process Dried Myrobalan, grind, make pills with honey. Take 15 pills, twice daily.

*[Daguan Bencao]* Treats Taenia. Take one handful of the east-growing root of sour pomegranate, wash clean, cut finely. Boil in three sheng of water until reduced to less than half a bowl. Remove dregs. Take warm at early Wugeng time. By tomorrow, a large mass of parasites will be expelled, cutting off the root cause. Nourish with rice porridge for one day.
*[Bencao]* East-growing root of Rosa laevigata (Jinyingzi, 金樱子) treats Taenia. Cut 2 liang, add 30 grains of rice, boil in two sheng of water until reduced to five he. Take on an empty stomach; diarrhea will occur shortly.
*[Qianjin Fang]* Treats Taenia. Wash Eucommia root to remove soil, cut 4 liang. Soak overnight in one sheng of water and one sheng of wine. Divide and take twice in the morning. Always use fine roots of Eucommia; those from the northeast shade are best. If the branches are too thick (larger than a finger), do not use them.
*[Shiliao Bencao]* Treats Ascaris, Heart Pain, bluish face, and foaming at the mouth. Take one jin of fresh Polygonum hydropiper leaves growing near water, cut finely. Boil in three dou of water until it becomes like syrup. Remove dregs. Take one sheng on an empty stomach; the parasite will be expelled. For severe cases, take again. Fast overnight. Take at dawn the next day for best effect.

Grind into fine powder. Take 3 qian per dose, mix with honey water on an empty stomach, or sugar water is also acceptable. First, chew a piece of roasted meat in the mouth but do not swallow; spit out the meat juices from the anus, then take the medicine.
The above formulas have attacking properties to expel parasites.
*[Bencao]* Cui Yuanliang's Sea Prescription treats all Heart Pain, whether new or old. Use fresh Rehmannia root alone. Depending on how much the person eats, crush and extract the juice. Mix with flour to make cakes, or eat as cold noodles. After some time, the parasites will be expelled via bowels, about one chi long, with a head resembling a pen tube. No further recurrence. In the tenth year of Zhiyuan, Cui Kang, a messenger, had a daughter suffering from severe Heart Pain nearing death. She ate the Rehmannia cold noodles, vomited an object about one inch square, shaped like a toad, without eyes or feet, with a faint mouth opening.

[Zihe]* Yang Zhongren, a wine official, suffered from Heart Qi Pain. He loved drinking alcohol. After drinking two or three cups, he had to run around thirty to fifty times.

*[Sun Simiao]* In the palace of King Xiang, there was a palace maid favored by the Seventh Taiwei. Suddenly she fell ill; whenever she felt nauseous, she would vomit several worms, which became frequent. The Seventh Taiwei pitied her greatly, and repeated treatments failed. Whenever parasiticidal drugs were used, more worms were vomited. Sun was summoned. Sun said: All six pulses are fine/thin, not indicative of parasites. Although worms are being vomited now, it is due to Cold in the Zang organs causing the worms to feel uneasy, losing their residence in the upper diaphragm, and thus being vomited. Using more parasiticides harms the worms, causing them to feel even more uneasy, hence more worms are vomited. Sun then prescribed medication. Within three to five doses of uniform-colored pills, the vomiting of worms ceased. The next day, Sun was summoned again; the six pulses gradually enlarged, and continuing the previous medication prevented the disease from recurring. Later requested the formula: Sulfur and Prepared Aconite Root (Fuzi, 附子), each 1 liang, ground into powder. Form pills with glutinous rice paste. Take 30 pills per dose with rice drink.
