(This is another name for Xu Lei disease, characterized by deficiency and emaciation.)
[Tang] Xiao'er Hejie (Crane Joint Disease in Children) arises from congenital insufficiency, where Blood and Qi fail to nourish the body. The muscles become thin and emaciated, causing all bone joints to protrude, resembling the legs of a crane. This is due to Kidney Deficiency failing to generate Marrow. The treatment method should utilize Qian's Dihuang Wan (Rehmannia Pill), added with Lurong (Deer Antler) and Niuxi (Achyranthes Root).
[Tang] Xiaoshi Wan (Digestion-Resolving Pill) treats undigested retained food. It is also known as Xiaoru Wan (Milk-Digesting Pill).
Sharen (Amomum Fruit), Chenpi (Citrus Peel, stir-fried), Sanleng (Sparganium Rhizome, stir-fried), Shenqu (Medicated Leaven, stir-fried), Maiya (Barley Sprout, stir-fried; each half liang), Xiangfu (Cyperus Rhizome, stir-fried; one liang).
Grind the above into powder, form pills using malt paste, sized like hemp seeds. Administer after meals with warm water, adjusting dosage according to age and size.
Qisheng Wan (Seven Sages Pill)
Sanleng (Sparganium Rhizome), Pengzhu (Curcuma Rhizome), Chuanlian (Fructus Toosendan), Qingpi (Young Citrus Peel), Chenpi (Citrus Peel), Yuanhua (Genkwa Flower), Xingren (Apricot Seed).
Take equal parts of the above ingredients. First, soak Yuanhua in vinegar overnight, then stir-fry until gradually dry. Next, add Pengzhu and Sanleng, stir-frying together until reddish. Then add Chenpi and Chuanlian, stir-frying together until slightly scorched. Remove and grind into powder. If the previous herbs are used at half liang each, use half liang of Xingren as well. Soak Xingren in water, remove skin and tips, discard those with two kernels, grind finely, add 20 Baiduo (Croton Seed) kernels (oil removed), mix evenly, and form pills using vinegar paste, sized like millet grains. One-year-old infants commonly take two pills, administered with warm liquid before sleep, so that food consumed during the day is digested overnight, preventing Gan disease (infantile malnutrition) permanently, transforming sallow, emaciated children into healthy ones. Currently, for pediatric use, Baiduo may be omitted, retaining only Xingren; this is called Qisheng Wan.
[Zhang Jiegu] Zhizhu Wan (Formula see Internal Injury Diet section). For loss of appetite, decoct Sizijunzi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) with Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger) and Dazao (Jujube). Zhishi Lizhong Wan (Immature Bitter Orange and Atractylodes Macrocephala Regulating Middle Pill) (Formula see Cold Damage section).
[Tang] Pi Syndrome refers to obstruction. Its pathology involves Qi knotting internally in the abdomen, presenting with distension, fullness, and severe fever. One should unblock and purge the bowels, break up accumulations, and dissipate Qi. Changfu Jinshi Wan (Regularly Take Food Advancing Pill) can be taken regularly.
[Shengji Fang] Gansui San (Kansui Powder) treats pediatric Pi Jie (Pi Knots). Although decoctions provide temporary relief, the stagnant excess pathogen remains. There is hardness and distension below the heart, and crying upon palpation, indicating latent heat within. It has the effect of breaking up knots.
Gansui (baked until red), Qingpi (Young Citrus Peel), Huangqin (Scutellaria Root), Dahuang (Rhubarb Root, stir-fried; each half liang).
Cut the above ingredients, decoct, strain, and administer. Adjust dosage according to age/size. Stop when bowel movement is achieved. This formula is invariably effective.
[Tang] The daughter of Vice Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Revenue suffered from accumulated stagnation and knotting for over a year. Her symptoms included abdominal fullness, severe fever, closure of both large and small intestines (constipation and urinary retention), and inability to eat. All physicians treated it as deficiency heat or tidal fever, or as stomach cold causing anorexia. However, since she could not eat, her bowel and bladder movements were naturally reduced, leading some to treat it as Gan heat. Various medicines were tried without success, and her condition became critical. She invited me to examine her.
I asked, "What medicine should she take?" I answered, "She should take Gansui and Dahuang." Vice Minister Zhang was horrified, saying, "All previous physicians used tonifying agents. This girl has not eaten for a long time; it is inappropriate to use purgatives to disturb the intestines and stomach."
I replied, "Those who trust me will live; those who oppose me will die." Vice Minister Zhang asked, "Is there a formula inferior to Gansui but still effective?" I instructed him to immediately administer Dachengqi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction). After two doses, she recovered. On the following day, upon pulse diagnosis, residual stagnation and solid accumulation remained. The symptoms would inevitably recur with closure after several days. Only by taking the previous [Gansui/Dahuang] medicine could the root cause be eliminated. Several days later, indeed, abdominal closure, fullness, and Pi knotting recurred. Upon administering this medicine again, she recovered after one dose.
[Qian Yi] When an infant urgently desires milk but cannot suckle, it is due to exogenous Wind-Heat invading the umbilicus and flowing into the Heart and Spleen meridians. This presents with thick tongue coating and dry lips, making sucking impossible. The treatment should cool the Heart and Spleen.
