The *Zhubing Yuanhou Lun* (Treatise on the Pathogenesis and Symptoms of All Diseases) states: Infantile abdominal pain is mostly caused by an imbalance of cold and heat, where the qi of cold and heat is connected with the zang-fu organs.
The *Qianjin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) records: Boil pear leaves in concentrated water, take the decoction, administer seven he (a traditional Chinese unit of volume) per dose, and it can be given three to four times.
Another prescription: Process Pinelliae Rhizoma (Banxia, 半夏) according to the required amount by mild roasting, grind into powder, mix with wine to form pills the size of millet grains, taking five he (note: likely a textual error for quantity or specific pill count, interpreted as small pills here), three times daily.
The *Zhubing Yuanhou Lun* states: Infantile abdominal distension is caused by cold qi invading the zang-fu organs.
The *Qianjin Fang* says: Burn parental fingernails to ash, apply to breast milk, and let the infant drink.
Another prescription: Rub a cuttlefish (Shuyu, 书鱼) on the abdomen.
Another prescription: Take old girdles with dirt/stains, cut one sheng (a traditional Chinese unit of volume/weight), add three sheng of water, boil down to one sheng, and divide into three doses.
The *Ge Shi Fang* (Prescriptions by Ge Hong) records: Mix rice flour and salt in equal proportions, roast together until the color changes, and rub on the abdomen; this will cure the condition.
The *Zhubing Yuanhou Lun* states: In cases of infantile chest and diaphragm heat excess with retained fluid in the abdomen, Ying and Wei qi become obstructed; the qi of the fu and zang organs fails to circulate freely. The symptoms include abdominal knotting, distension, and occasional high fever.
From the *Ge Shi Fang*: For those suffering from abdominal痞结 (痞结, accumulation/knotting) with persistent high fever:
Apply fresh blood of soft-shelled turtle (Bie Xue, 鳖血) mixed with powdered Cinnamon Twig (Guixie, 桂屑) onto the痞 area.
Another prescription: Grind Moschus (Shexiang, 麝香) into powder, administer an amount the size of a soybean.
Another prescription: Prepared Rheum Palmatum (Dahuang, 大黄 - roasted until smoke appears), Testudo Carapax et Plastrum (Guijia, 龟甲 - roasted until yellow), and Poria (Fuling, 茯苓).
These three herbs are used in equal parts, formed into honey pills, administered one pill the size of a soybean, three times daily. (Dosage should be adjusted according to the child's age and size.)
Another prescription: Crush Pulsatilla Root (Baitouweng, 白头翁), place in a right pouch made of boiled silk, and apply over the痞 area.
The *Chan Jing* (Classic of Childbirth) states: To treat infantile痞 (痞, accumulation/mass), characterized by sallow complexion, emaciation, "Dingxi" syndrome (severe wasting), loss of appetite, failure to gain flesh after eating, heart palpitations/irritability, alternating chills and fever during attacks, distension of the five zang organs, periumbilical abdominal pain, and chronic diarrhea, use the Eight-Pi Pill formula:
Cinnamon Heart (Guixin, 桂心), Azurite (Zengqing, 曾青 - substitute for Azurentum/Kongqing if unavailable), Tree Peony Bark (Mudan, 牡丹), Eel Head Shell (Shantoujia, 鳝头甲 - soaked and roasted until yellow), Dried Ginger (Ganjiang, 干姜) (each 3 fen), Sichuan Kochia Herb (Shuqi, 蜀漆) (7 fen), Asarum (Xixin, 细辛) (6 fen), Gentian Root (Longdan, 龙胆) (5 fen), Prepared Aconite Root (Fuzi, 附子) (4 fen, processed).
These nine herbs are ground and sifted, mixed with honey to form pills the size of a wutong seed. Administer two pills, three times daily. Observe dietary and lifestyle restrictions as per standard herbal medicine protocols.
The *Bencao Shiyi* (Supplement to Materia Medica) states: To treat infantile痞, crush Sanguisorba Officinalis (Sanbaicao, 三白草) to extract juice, and administer it to induce vomiting.
