生箭 (一两) 白术(八钱) 当归(六钱) 桂枝尖(钱半) 防风(钱半) 黄蜡
(三钱) 生白矾(一钱) 作汤服。
此方原为预防中风之药,故用黄 以固皮毛,白术以实肌肉,黄蜡、白矾以护膜原。犹恐破伤时微有感
冒,故又用当归、防风、桂枝以活血散风。其防风、桂枝之分量特轻者,诚以此方原为预防中风而设,故不欲
重用发汗之药以开腠理也。
盖《神农本草经》原谓黄 主大风,方中重用黄 一两,又有他药以为之佐使,宜其风证皆可治也。若
已中风抽掣者,宜加全蜈蚣两条。若更因房事不戒以致中风抽风者,宜再加真鹿角胶三钱
(另煎兑服),独活一钱半。若脉象有热者,用此汤时,知母、天冬皆可酌加。
自拟此方以来,凡破伤后恐中风者,俾服药一剂,永无意外之变,用之数十年矣。

To treat the prevention of wind-stroke (Zhong Feng, stroke-like syndrome) after traumatic injury, or to treat wind-stroke that has already occurred presenting with convulsions and spasms, or to treat wind-stroke caused by sexual indiscretion following an injury.
Raw Astragali Radix (Sheng Huangqi) [1 liang], Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (Baizhu) [8 qian], Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Danggui) [6 qian], Cinnamomi Ramulus Apicem (Guizhi Jian) [1.5 qian], Saposhnikoviae Radix (Fangfeng) [1.5 qian], Beeswax (Huangla) [3 qian], Raw Alum (Sheng Baifan) [1 qian]. Decoct in water and take orally.
This prescription was originally designed as a medicine for preventing wind-stroke. Therefore, Huangqi is used to consolidate the exterior (skin and hair), Baizhu to strengthen the muscles, and Huangla combined with Baifan to protect the membrane source (Moyuan, referring to the fatty tissues between the chest/abdomen and organs). Furthermore, fearing that slight external pathogenic factors might invade during the traumatic injury, Danggui, Fangfeng, and Guizhi are added to invigorate blood circulation and disperse wind. The dosages of Fangfeng and Guizhi are specifically kept light because this prescription is originally intended for the prevention of wind-stroke; thus, heavy use of diaphoretic herbs to open the couli (pores) is avoided.
According to the *Shennong Bencao Jing*, Huangqi primarily treats severe wind pathogens. In this formula, a large dose of Huangqi (1 liang) is used, assisted and guided by other herbs, making it suitable for treating various wind-related syndromes. If wind-stroke has already occurred with convulsions and pulling sensations, add two whole Scolopendra (Quan Wugong). If the condition is further exacerbated by sexual indiscretion leading to wind-stroke and convulsions, additionally add genuine Cornu Cervi Solium Gelatinum (Zhen Lujiao Jiao) [3 qian] (decocted separately and mixed in) and Angelicae Pubescentis Radix (Duhuo) [1.5 qian]. If the pulse indicates heat, Rhizoma Anemarrhenae (Zhimu) and Asparagi Radix (Tiandong) may be added酌情 (at discretion) when using this decoction.
Since I devised this prescription, for anyone suffering from traumatic injury who fears wind-stroke, having them take one dose has prevented any unexpected complications. It has been used for decades without failure.
A clansman of my cousin's nephew, Mr. Gao XX, had his palm pierced through by a gunshot wound, resulting in wind-stroke with convulsions and lockjaw. Continuous administration of medicine via the teeth缝隙 proved ineffective, and the patient's condition became critical. Previously, someone in his village had taken this prescription for wind-stroke prevention after injury, which Mr. Gao XX observed and recorded. At this juncture, Mr. Gao XX administered this prescription to his clansman, who recovered after one dose.
Another individual, after sustaining an injury, contracted wind-stroke with convulsions due to sexual indiscretion, and previous medication was ineffective. His friend, Mr. Mao XX, treated him and also achieved recovery using this same decoction. I originally devised this prescription merely for the prevention of wind-stroke, yet it has yielded such numerous effective results, which was beyond my initial expectation.
