The preceding medicines are boiled first. For Qi stagnation, add Cyperi Rhizoma (Xiangfu) two liang, and boil together with the preceding medicines. For Qi deficiency, add Aquilariae Lignum Resinatum (Chenxiang) half a liang, added separately (decocted or taken as powder). For Jin Kou Li (Dysentery with inability to eat), add Nelumbinis Semen (Lianrou) two liang with the heart removed, added separately.
From the section "Gradual Removal of Long-standing Accumulation" up to here, there are sixteen prescriptions in total. All are purely agents for grinding down accumulations. They must be taken concurrently with medicines that tonify Qi and Blood. Pure use of these will lead to death; this is iatrogenic killing. Be extremely cautious.
For masses formed due to Wind Convulsion: Add Manis Squama (Chuanshanjia) and Testudinis Carapax et Plastrum (Biejia, stir-fried and calcined) three qian each, Corydalis Rhizoma (Yanhusuo) and Curcumae Radix (Pengru) four qian each per dose.

Grind all into powder, make pills using steamed bread dough, size of mung beans. Take eight pills at a time, washed down with plain warm water.
Chu Cheng said: Cheng was skilled in medicine and served as the Governor of Wu Commandery. A commoner, Li Daonian, came to the commandery on official business. Cheng saw him and said, "You have a severe illness." Li replied, "I have had a cold disease for many years, and no doctor has cured it." Cheng diagnosed him and said, "Your illness is neither cold nor heat; it is likely caused by consuming too many white-boiled chicken eggs." He instructed Li to take one sheng of garlic, cook it, and eat it. Li vomited an object the size of a sheng, wrapped in saliva. Upon opening it, it was a chick, complete with feathers, wings, and claws, capable of movement. Cheng said, "This is not all; take the remaining medicine." Thirteen more objects like the previous ones were vomited, and the illness completely resolved.
[Yanyi] Someone suffered from chest and abdominal fullness and irritability for two years. The diagnosis was: "There is a gu poison in the abdomen, caused by accidentally ingesting hair." He was instructed to take a dose of Realgar (Xionghuang). Soon after, he vomited a snake the thickness of a thumb, without eyes. Burning it produced the smell of burnt hair, and he recovered. This is proof of eliminating toxic insects.
The above two formulas represent methods for expelling worm accumulations.

[Zihe Zheng] The wife of Liu Ziping from Guoyuan had a mass in her abdomen the size of a ladle for eighteen years, with cessation of menstruation. Various methods failed. Dairen (Zihe Zheng's pseudonym) ordered her to induce vomiting four times and purge six times within one month. Approximately one or two buckets of phlegm were extracted. The undigested matter resembled boiled rotten okra leaves and fish intestines. During vomiting, a wooden stirring tool was used to agitate, feeling as if the accumulation was being scooped out, gradually flattening. Once the accumulation was completely gone, the scar of the mass became depressed like a mortar, with no damage. At this point, her face regained a youthful color, menstruation resumed, resembling her youth, and she could conceive children.

[Ben Cao] Mainly for Zhong Ji (Symptom Accumulation) filling the abdomen where other medicines fail. Take urine from a white horse and drink it to cure.
[Worldly/Popular Formula] Treating abdominal masses. One pair of pig kidneys, sliced thinly. One liang of Momordicae Semen (Mubiezi) flesh. Layer the kidney slices and Mubiezi flesh, tie them together, wrap externally in wet paper, and bake in fire until cooked. Remove and discard paper. Pound in a basin into a paste. Add Coptidis Rhizoma (Huanglian) powder and mix into pills. Take twenty pills at a time, swallowed with Wumei Gancao (Licorice) decoction. Second dose twenty-five pills, third dose thirty pills, gradually increasing until pain relief. Profuse bowel movement will cause the mass to dissipate naturally, with miraculous effect.
[Nan Jing] Diseases have Accumulation (Ji) and Gathering (Ju). How to distinguish them? Answer: Ji belongs to Yin Qi, Ju belongs to Yang Qi. Therefore, Yin is deep and static, Yang is floating and active. Where Qi accumulates, it is called Ji; where Qi gathers, it is called Ju. Thus, Ji arises from the Five Zang Organs, and Ju is formed by the Six Fu Organs. Ji is Yin Qi; its onset has a fixed location, pain does not leave its area, moving up and down with definite beginnings and ends, and having limits on left and right. Ju is Yang Qi; its onset has no root, no staying or stopping up or down, and pain has no fixed location, hence called Ju. Thus, they are distinguished by this. (Chapter 55, treatment for Ju is seen in the last section.)
[Zhang Zhongjing] Diseases have Ji, Ju, and Gu Qi. What does this mean? The Master said: Ji is a Zang disease, never moving. Ju is a Fu disease, occurring at specific times, with shifting pain, and is treatable. Gu Qi is pain in the hypochondrium, relieved by pressure, recurring as Gu Qi.
[Su Wen] When the Green Pulse arrives, long and flicking left and right, there is accumulated Qi supporting beneath the heart, named Liver Bi (Liver Obstruction). It results from Cold-Dampness, treated similarly to Shan (Hernia). Symptoms include lower back pain, cold feet, and headache. (Chapter on Generation of Five Viscera)
Emperor asked: There is a disease with fullness in the lower abdomen, rooted throughout up, down, left, and right. What is this disease? Is it treatable? Qibo answered: The disease is named Fuliang (Hidden Beam). Emperor asked: What causes Fuliang? Qibo answered: It wraps large amounts of pus and blood, residing outside the intestines and stomach. It is untreatable; attempting treatment by pressing often leads to death. Emperor asked: Why? Qibo answered: Pressing downward affects the Yin, inevitably causing pus and blood discharge downward. Pressing upward compresses the stomach, generating interior abscesses in the Diaphragm and beside the stomach. This is a chronic disease, difficult to treat. Located above the umbilicus is adverse; below is favorable. Do not move it or aggressively drain it. (Chapter on Abdominal Center. Wang Bing notes: "Sheng" should be "Chu". Lin Yi notes: Tai Su reads "Xia Wei" as "Bian Wei".) Emperor asked: Some people have swelling of the thighs and legs, and pain around the umbilicus. What disease is this? Qibo answered: The disease is named Fuliang. This is the root of Wind. Its Qi overflows into the Large Intestine and attaches to Huang (Tri-Jiao origin). The origin of Huang is below the umbilicus, hence pain around the umbilicus. Do not move it; moving it causes difficulty in urination. (Same chapter)
[Nan Jing] The Heart's accumulation is named Fuliang. It starts above the umbilicus, as large as an arm, extending up to below the heart. If not cured for a long time, it causes mental restlessness. It is contracted on Geng/Xin days in Autumn. Why? Kidney disease transmits to Heart; Heart should transmit to Lung. Lung is prosperous in Autumn, so the Prosperous does not accept Evil. Heart tries to return to Kidney, but Kidney refuses. Thus, it stays and knots to form an accumulation. Hence, Fuliang is known to be contracted on Geng/Xin days in Autumn. (Chapter 56)
Heart pulse slightly slow indicates Fuliang, located below the heart, traveling up and down with bloody sputum. (Full text in Treating Excess and Deficiency section.)
[Su Wen] When the Yellow Pulse arrives, large and deficient, there is accumulated Qi in the abdomen with Jue Qi, named Jue Shan (Jue Hernia/Pi). Women follow the same pattern. It results from exerting limbs while sweating and exposed to wind. (Chapter on Generation of Five Viscera. "Shan" should be "Pi".)
[Nan Jing] The Spleen's accumulation is named Pi Qi. It is in the epigastrium, covering an area as large as a plate. If not cured for a long time, it causes flaccidity of the four limbs, jaundice, and food failing to nourish the flesh. It is contracted on Ren/Gui days in Winter. Why? Liver disease transmits to Spleen; Spleen should transmit to Kidney. Kidney is prosperous in Winter, so the Prosperous does not accept Evil. Spleen tries to return to Liver, but Liver refuses. Thus, it stays and knots to form an accumulation. Hence, Pi Qi is known to be contracted on Ren/Gui days in Winter. (Chapter 56)
Spleen pulse slightly large indicates Pi Qi, with large pus and blood wrapped in the abdomen, outside the intestines and stomach. (Full text in Treating Excess and Deficiency section.)
[Su Wen] When the White Pulse arrives, panting and floating, upper deficiency and lower excess, fright, there is accumulated Qi in the chest, panting and deficient, named Fei Bi (Lung Obstruction) with chills and fever. It results from intercourse while drunk. (Chapter on Generation of Five Viscera. Panting refers to rapid and restless pulse.)
[Nan Jing] The Lung's accumulation is named Xi Ben. It is in the right hypochondrium, covering an area as large as a cup. If not cured for a long time, it causes aversion to cold and fever, panting and cough, and Lung obstruction. It is contracted on Jia/Yi days in Spring. Why? Heart disease transmits to Lung; Lung should transmit to Liver. Liver is prosperous in Spring, so the Prosperous does not accept Evil. Lung tries to return to Heart, but Heart refuses. Thus, it stays and knots to form an accumulation. Hence, Xi Ben is known to be contracted on Jia/Yi days in Spring. (Chapter 56)
Lung pulse slippery and excessive indicates Xi Ben, governing Qi. (Full text in Excess and Deficiency section.)
[Su Wen] When the Black Pulse arrives, firm and large upwards, there is accumulated Qi in the lower abdomen and Yin region, named Shen Bi (Kidney Obstruction). It results from bathing in cold water and lying down.
[Nan Jing] The Kidney's accumulation is named Ben Tun (Running Piglet). It originates in the lower abdomen, rising to below the heart, resembling a piglet. It moves up or down without fixed timing. If not cured for a long time, it causes panting, wheezing, bone萎 (flaccidity), and shortness of breath. It is contracted on Bing/Ding days in Summer. Why? Spleen disease transmits to Kidney; Kidney should transmit to Heart. Heart is prosperous in Summer, so the Prosperous does not accept Evil. Kidney tries to return to Spleen, but Spleen refuses. Thus, it stays and knots to form an accumulation. Hence, Ben Tun is known to be contracted on Bing/Ding days in Summer. (Chapter 56)
Kidney pulse slightly urgent indicates Chen Jue Ben Tun, with inability to move the feet and inability to pass urine or stool. (Full text in Treating Excess and Deficiency section.)
