麻仁（四升）
水六升，煎七合，空心服。
癫风者，此方与之，三剂效。
麻仁，润药也，多与之令人通利，故足以泻癫风。然可以济火，可以泽肝，可以润脾，
可以
苦参一物为末，蜜丸梧子大。每服十五丸，薄荷汤下。
发狂无时，披头大叫，欲杀人，不避水火者，此方主之。
上件诸证，皆神明内乱也，故古人病狂谓之失心。苦参主心腹结气，故足以治时热狂言。
黄帝问曰∶有病怒狂者，此病安生？岐伯对曰∶生于阳也。帝曰∶阳何以使人狂？岐伯
曰∶阳气者，暴折而难决，故善怒也，病名曰阳厥。帝曰∶何以知之？岐伯曰∶阳明者常动，
巨阳、少阳不动，不动而动大疾，此其候也。治之奈何？岐伯曰∶夺其食即已，夫食入于阴，
长气于阳，故夺其食即已。使之服以生铁落为饮。夫生铁落者，下气疾也。昆谓怒者，肝木
之志也。铁落，金之体也。木欲实，金当平之，此其所以用铁落也。
辰砂（光明有墙壁者一两） 酸枣仁（半两，微炒） 乳香（光莹者，半两）
癫疾失心者，将此三物为末，都作一服，温酒调下。善饮者以醉为度，勿令吐。服药讫，
便安置床枕令卧。病浅者，半日至一日觉。病深者，三二日觉。令人潜伺之，不可惊触使觉，

唐相国寺僧允惠，患癫疾失心，经半年，遍服名医药不效。僧俗兄潘氏家富，召孙思邈
疗之。孙曰∶今夜睡着，明后日便愈也。潘曰∶但告投药，报恩不忘。孙曰∶有咸物，但与
师吃，待酒却来道。夜分，僧果渴。孙至，遂求温酒一角，调药一服与之。有顷，再索酒，
与之半角。其僧遂睡两昼夜乃觉，人事如故。潘谢孙，问其治法。孙曰∶众人能安神矣，而
不能使神昏得睡，此乃《灵苑方》中朱砂酸枣仁乳香散也，人不能用耳。正肃吴公，少时心
病，服此一剂，五日方寤，遂瘥。
《本事方》以此方加人参一两，名宁志膏，炼蜜作丸如弹子大。每服一丸，薄荷汤化下。
楼师云∶族人因兵火失心，制此方与之，服二十粒愈。亲旧多传去，服之皆验。昆谓重可以
去怯，故朱砂能镇心安神。酸可使收引，故枣仁能敛神归心。香可使利窍，故乳香能豁达心
志。必酒调尽醉者，欲其行药力而成莫大之功也。许学士加人参者，亦谓人参能宁心尔。
Hemp Seed (Semen Cannabis, Mahuangzi) [Note: Text says Mahan Ren, usually Hemp Seed/Cannabis Seed in this context, distinct from Ephedra] (4 sheng)
Boil with six sheng of water until reduced to seven he. Take on an empty stomach.
For patients suffering from Dian Feng (Epilepsy/Mental Disorder), administer this formula; efficacy is expected after three doses.
Hemp Seed is a moistening herb. Excessive intake promotes bowel movement and urination, thereby sufficient to purge the pathogenic factors of Dian Feng. However, it can nourish Heart Fire, moisten the Liver, and lubricate the Spleen...
Sophora Root (Radix Sophorae Flavescentis, Kushen) alone, ground into powder, formed into pills the size of wutong seeds. Each dose consists of fifteen pills, taken down with Bohe Tang (Mint Decoction).
For mania occurring without fixed timing, characterized by disheveled hair, loud screaming, desire to kill, and disregard for fire and water, this formula is indicated.
The aforementioned syndromes are all caused by internal disturbance of the Shen (Spirit). Hence, ancient physicians referred to mania as "Shi Xin" (Loss of Heart/Mind). Sophora Root treats knotting qi in the heart and abdomen, thus sufficient to treat manic speech caused by seasonal heat.
Yellow Emperor asked: There are patients who become angry and manic. How does this disease arise? Qibo replied: It arises from Yang. The Emperor said: Why does Yang cause mania? Qibo said: When Yang Qi suffers sudden frustration and cannot be resolved, one becomes prone to anger. This disease is named Yang Jue (Yang Reversal). The Emperor said: How do we know this? Qibo said: The Yangming pulse is usually pulsating, while the Taiyang and Shaoyang pulses are usually not. If the non-pulsating ones exhibit rapid and strong pulsation, this is the sign. How to treat it? Qibo said: Depriving them of food will cure it. Food enters Yin and generates Qi in Yang; thus, depriving food cures it. Administer Sheng Tie Luo Yin (Raw Iron Filings Decoction) for them. Raw Iron Filings have the property of rapidly descending rebellious Qi. Wu Kun states that Anger is the emotion of Liver Wood. Iron Filings are of the Metal nature. When Wood Qi desires to become excessive, Metal should level it; this is why Iron Filings are used.
Cinnabar (1 liang, selected for brightness and wall-like structure) [Zhu Sha, Zhusha]
Sour Jujube Seed (Semen Ziziphi Spinosae, Suanzaoren) (0.5 liang, slightly stir-fried)
Frankincense (Resina Olibani, Ruxiang) (0.5 liang, selected for luster and clarity)
For patients with Dian Ji (Epilepsy/Manic Disorder) and Shi Xin (Loss of Mind), grind these three herbs into powder, mix together as a single dose, and take down with warm wine. For those who drink well, aim for intoxication; do not allow vomiting. After taking the medicine, immediately arrange bed and pillow for sleep. For mild cases, awakening occurs within half a day to one day; for severe cases, within two to three days. Observers should watch secretly and must not startle or touch the patient to wake them; wait...
Monk Yunhui of Xiangguo Temple in the Tang Dynasty suffered from Dian Ji and Shi Xin for half a year. He tried various famous doctors' medicines without effect. His lay brother, Mr. Pan, was wealthy and invited Sun Simiao to treat him. Sun said: Let him sleep tonight, and he will recover by tomorrow or the next day. Pan said: Just tell me the medication, and I will never forget your kindness. Sun said: Provide salty food for the monk to eat. Come back when the wine is finished. At midnight, the monk indeed felt thirsty. Sun arrived, requested a cup of warm wine, mixed one dose of medicine, and gave it to him. Shortly after, the monk asked for more wine, and Sun gave him half a cup. The monk then slept for two days and nights before waking up, with his mental state restored. Pan thanked Sun and asked about the treatment method. Sun said: Others can calm the Shen, but cannot induce deep sleep through Shen depression. This is precisely the Zhusha Suanzaoren Ruxiang San (Cinnabar, Sour Jujube Seed, and Frankincense Powder) from Lingyuan Fang, which people fail to use correctly. Wu Gong Zhengsu took one dose of this formula for his childhood Heart Disease, woke up after five days, and was cured.
Ben Shi Fang adds one liang of Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma Rubra (Ren Shen) to this formula, naming it Ning Zhi Gao (Peaceful Spirit Paste), made into pills the size of bullet shots using refined honey. Each dose is one pill, dissolved and taken with Mint Decoction. Master Lou said: A clan member lost their mind due to war and fire. I prepared this formula for him. After taking twenty pills, he recovered. Relatives and friends widely transmitted it, and all applications were effective. Wu Kun states that heaviness can dispel timidity, so Cinnabar can anchor the Heart and calm the Spirit. Sourness can astringe and draw inward, so Sour Jujube Seed can gather the Spirit back to the Heart. Aroma can open orifices, so Frankincense can broaden the Heart's Will. Using wine to mix and drinking until drunk aims to facilitate the action of the medicinal power to achieve great efficacy. Scholar Xu added Ginseng because he believed Ginseng can pacify the Heart.
