[注]
五软者，为头项软，手软，足软，口软，肌肉软，是也，
头软者，项软无力，
手足软者，四肢无力也，
肉软者，皮宽不长肌肉也，
口软者，唇薄无力也，
此五者，皆因禀受不足,气血不充，故骨脉不强，筋肉痿弱，
治宜补气为主，
先以补肾地黄丸补其先天精气，再以扶元散补其后天羸弱，
渐次调理，而五软自强矣。

Kui Bei (Turtle Back) is caused by infants sitting too early and being exposed to wind pathogens. It presents with a stooped posture and a high, convex back resembling a turtle. Internally, Song Rui Dan (Pine Stamen Pill) should be taken for gradual treatment; externally, moxibustion should be applied, and turtle urine should be dabbed on the affected areas.
[Annotation]
Kui Bei (Turtle Back) occurs when external wind pathogens invade the spine and surrounding tissues due to infants sitting prematurely. This leads to spinal curvature and a humpbacked appearance resembling a turtle. It often becomes a chronic, lifelong condition.
Internal treatment involves regulating with Song Rui Dan (Pine Stamen Pill). Externally, apply the acupuncture points from the *Sheng Hui Fang* (Holy Grace Formulas): moxa moxibustion on Fei Shu (BL13, Lung Shu), Xin Shu (BL15, Heart Shu), and Ge Shu (BL17, Diaphragm Shu), three to five moxa cones per point.
Alternatively, dabbing bone joints with turtle urine can also yield effective results.
(Song Rui Dan / Pine Stamen Pill Formula)
Song Hua (Pinus Massoniana Pollen), Zhi Shi (Immature Bitter Orange, stir-fried with bran), Fang Feng (Saposhnikovia Root), Du Huo (Angelica Pubescens Root) each 1 liang; Ma Huang (Ephedrae Herba), Qian Hu (Peucedani Radix), Chuan Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, raw), Gui Xin (Cinnamomi Cortex) each 5 qian. Grind the above into fine powder, mix with refined honey to form pills the size of millet seeds. Take 10 pills per dose, swallowed with gruel broth.

Wu Ruan (Five Softnesses) is a syndrome caused by congenital insufficiency, characterized by softness of the head/neck, hands, feet, mouth, and muscles. Treatment utilizes Dihuang Wan (Rehmannia Pill) and Fuyuan San (Support Origin Powder); success depends entirely on appropriate postnatal care and nourishment.
[Annotation]
Wu Ruan (Five Softnesses) refers to softness of the head and neck, hands, feet, mouth, and muscles.
Head softness implies weakness in the neck;
Hand and foot softness imply weakness in the four limbs;
Muscle softness implies loose skin and lack of muscle mass;
Mouth softness implies thin lips and lack of strength.
These five conditions all result from insufficient congenital endowment and deficient Qi and Blood, leading to weak bones and meridians, and flaccid sinews and muscles.
Treatment should prioritize tonifying Qi.
First, use Bushen Dihuang Wan (Kidney-Tonifying Rehmannia Pill) to replenish congenital Essence and Qi; subsequently, use Fuyuan San (Support Origin Powder) to strengthen postnatal debility.
Through gradual regulation, the Five Softnesses will naturally become robust.
(Bushen Dihuang Wan / Kidney-Tonifying Rehmannia Pill Formula)
Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmanniae Radix) 1.5 liang; Shan Yu Rou (Corni Fructus) 1 liang; Huai Shan Yao (Dioscoreae Hypoglaucae Rhizoma, stir-fried) and Fu Ling (Poria) each 8 qian; Mu Dan Pi (Moutan Cortex) and Ze Xie (Alismatis Rhizoma) each 5 qian; Niu Xi (Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix) 8 qian; Lu Rong (Cervi Cornu Pantotrichum, processed with butter) 5 qian.
Grind the above into fine powder, mix with refined honey to form pills the size of sophora seeds. Take 2 qian per dose, swallowed with salt water decoction.
(Fuyuan San / Support Origin Powder Formula)
Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, stir-fried with soil), Fu Ling (Poria), Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmanniae Radix), Fu Shen (Poria with Hostwood), Huang Qi (Astragali Radix, honey-fried), Shan Yao (Dioscoreae Rhizoma, stir-fried), Zhi Gan Cao (Licorice Root, roasted), Dang Gui (Angelica Sinensis Radix), Bai Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Chuan Xiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Shi Chang Pu (Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma). Decoct with fresh ginger and jujube water.
(Formula Verse)
For Wu Ruan (Five Softnesses), Fuyuan San is worthy of trial;
Ginseng, Atractylodes, Poria, and Prepared Rehmannia prevail.
Fu Shen, Astragalus, Yam, and Licorice combine well,
Along with Angelica, White Peony, Ligusticum, and Acorus, they excel.
