鸡内金为鸡之脾胃，原能消化砂石。蓬砂可为金、银、铜焊药，其性原能柔五金、治骨鲠，故亦善消硬物。
朴硝，《神农本草经》谓其能化七十二种石。硝石，《神农本草经》不载，而《名医别录》载之，亦谓其能化
七十二种石。想此二物性味相近，古原不分，即包括于朴硝条中，至陶隐居始别之，而其化石之能则同也。然

按∶此证有救急之法。当石杜塞不通时，则仰卧溺之可通。若仍不通，或侧卧、或立、或以手按地，俾石

Treatment for Sand Lin (Sand-type strangury), also known as Stone Lin (Stone-type strangury).
Raw Chicken Gizzard Membrane, yellow variety (1 liang; both chickens and ducks have gizzard linings, but the chicken's is yellow and suitable for use; ensure all sand/grit is removed) Raw Astragalus Root (8 qian) Anemarrhena Rhizome (8 qian) Raw Hang Peony Root (6 qian) Realgar (6 qian) Mirabilite (5 qian) Niter (5 qian)
Grind all ingredients into a fine powder. Mix with refined honey to form pills, sized like tung tree seeds. Take 3 qian with warm water before meals, twice daily.
The syndrome of Stone Lin arises from Qi stagnation and blood stasis in the Sanjiao (Triple Burner), or due to excessive mental and physical labor, or excessive sexual activity, leading to latent internal heat in the Bladder. The internal heat and stasis boil and simmer over time, eventually forming stones that obstruct the urinary tract, causing extreme pain. Smaller stones can be dissolved by medication; however, stones larger than peach or apricot kernels are difficult to dissolve. In such cases, surgical removal by Western medicine is necessary. This is a critical condition involving life and death; although surgical extraction carries risks, it allows one to seek stability amidst danger.
Chicken Gizzard Membrane is the stomach/intestine lining of the chicken, which naturally possesses the ability to digest stones. Realgar can be used as a soldering agent for gold, silver, and copper; its nature naturally softens metals and treats fishbones stuck in the throat, thus it is also effective at dissolving hard substances. Mirabilite: *Shennong Bencao Jing* states it can dissolve seventy-two types of stones. Niter: Not recorded in *Shennong Bencao Jing*, but recorded in *Mingyi Bielu*, stating it can also dissolve seventy-two types of stones. It is presumed that these two substances have similar properties and flavors, and were originally not distinguished in ancient texts, being included under the entry for Mirabilite, until Tao Hongjing separated them, though their stone-dissolving capabilities remain the same. However, since all these drugs are agents of dissolution and breakdown, they may potentially damage Yuan Qi (Original Qi). Therefore, Astragalus Root is added to tonify and support the Qi level. When Qi is robust, it further aids in transporting and transforming the medicinal power. Fearing that Astragalus Root is too hot in nature and unsuitable for Lin syndromes, Anemarrhena Rhizome and Peony Root are added to clear heat and nourish Yin. Furthermore, Peony Root has the property of guiding the power of other herbs to the Bladder.
Note: There is an emergency method for this condition. When stones block the flow completely, lying supine while urinating may restore flow. If it remains blocked, one may lie on the side, stand up, or press hands against the ground, allowing the stone to dislodge from the obstruction site, thereby restoring flow.
