破故纸十两(酒蒸为末) 胡桃肉二十两(去皮烂研)
蜜调如饴,每晨酒服一大匙。不能饮者热水调。忌芸苔、羊肉。
本方加杜仲一斤,生姜炒蒜四两,名青娥丸。本方加杜仲、胡芦巴、小茴香、萆 ,名
喝起丸。
喘与咳,由于痰随气升;腰脚痛,由于气不纳肾。方中二味温肾纳气,则喘咳自平,腰
脚自强矣。青娥、喝起二方亦俱有意义。
冬青子(即女贞实。冬至日采,不拘多少,阴干,蜜酒拌蒸,过一宿,粗皮擦去,晒干
为末) 旱莲草(夏至日采,不拘多少,捣汁熬膏,和前药为丸)
临卧酒服。一方加桑椹子为丸,或熬膏和入。
二至丸,取意甚佳,尚嫌力量浅薄,加入天冬、地黄、人参,以三才合二至始为得力。
嫩桑叶(去蒂、洗净、晒干)一斤(为末) 巨胜子(即黑脂麻,淘净)四两
将脂麻擂碎熬汁,和蜜炼至滴水成珠,入桑叶末为丸。
此即世所谓桑麻丸也。去风明目,乌髭黑发,颇为有功,至称驻颜益寿,则誉之太过,
殊为失实矣。
人参 白术(土炒) 茯苓 甘草(炒) 山药各二斤 陈皮 扁豆(炒)一斤半 薏
仁(炒)一斤 砂仁一斤 桔梗一斤 莲肉(炒,去心)一斤
为末。每三钱,枣汤或米饮调服。
此健脾和胃之正药也。惟扁豆性劣,宜减去,尝见疟愈之后服扁豆者,无不复发,此可
知也。
Po Gu Zhi (Cibotii Rhizoma) ten liang (steamed with wine and ground into powder), Hu Tao Rou (Semen Juglandis) twenty liang (skin removed, pounded until soft).
Mixed with honey to a consistency like maltose syrup; take one large spoonful with wine every morning. For those who cannot drink alcohol, mix with hot water. Avoid eating You Cai (Brassica rapa var. parachinensis) and mutton.
Adding Du Zhong (Eucommiae Cortex) one jin and Sheng Jiang fried garlic four liang to this formula creates Qing E Wan (Green Young Pill). Adding Du Zhong (Eucommiae Cortex), Hu Lu Ba (Trigonellae Semen), Xiao Hui Xiang (Foeniculi Fructus), and Bi Xie (Dioscoreae Hypoglaucae Rhizoma) to this formula creates He Qi Wan (Drinking Up Pill).
Asthma and cough arise from phlegm rising with qi; lower back and leg pain arises from the kidney's failure to grasp qi. The two ingredients in this formula warm the kidney and grasp qi, thereby naturally calming asthma and cough and strengthening the lower back and legs. Both Qing E Wan and He Qi Wan have their own significance.
Dong Qing Zi (i.e., Nv Zhen Zi / Ligustri Lucidi Fructus). Harvested on the Winter Solstice, quantity not limited, dried in shade, steamed with honey and wine, left for one night, coarse skin rubbed off, dried and ground into powder. Han Lian Cao (Ecliptae Herba). Harvested on the Summer Solstice, quantity not limited, juiced and boiled into paste, mixed with the previous medicine to form pills.
Take with wine before retiring. Another method adds Sang Shen Zi (Mori Fructus) to form pills, or boils into paste and mixes in.
Er Zhi Wan (Two Solstices Pill) has excellent naming intent, but its efficacy is considered somewhat shallow. Adding Tian Dong (Asparagi Radix), Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix), and Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), combining San Cai Tang (Three Powers Decoction) with Er Zhi Wan, makes it more effective.
Nen Sang Ye (Young Mori Folium) (stalks removed, washed, dried) one jin (ground into powder). Ju Sheng Zi (i.e., Hei Zhi Ma / Sesami Nigris Semen) four liang.
Crush the sesame seeds, boil to extract juice, refine with honey until it forms beads when dropped in water, add Sang Ye powder to form pills.
This is what is commonly known as Sang Ma Wan (Mulberry and Hemp Pill). It dispels wind and brightens the eyes, darkens beard and hair, and is quite effective. However, claims that it preserves youth and prolongs life are excessive praise and factually inaccurate.
Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) (soil-fried), Fu Ling (Poria), Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (fried), Shan Yao (Dioscoreae Rhizoma) each two jin. Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Bian Dou (Vigna Semen) (fried) one jin half. Yi Ren (Coicis Semen) (fried) one jin. Sha Ren (Amomi Fructus) one jin. Jie Geng (Platycodonis Radix) one jin. Lian Rou (Nelumbinis Plumula) (fried, heart removed) one jin.
Ground into powder. Take three qian each time, mixed with date soup or rice water.
This is the orthodox medicine for invigorating the spleen and harmonizing the stomach. However, Bian Dou (Vigna Semen) has inferior properties and should be reduced or omitted. I have seen cases where malaria recurred after taking Bian Dou following recovery, which indicates this.
