(For patients with excess-type malaria that has persisted for a long time, presenting with a wiry, slippery, floating, and large pulse.)
Changshan (Dichroae Radix, stir-fried with wine) Caoguo (Tsaoko Fructus, baked) Binglang (Arecae Semen) Qingpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride) Houpo (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex) Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (all in equal parts). Decoct with water and wine, and leave exposed overnight.
(This utilizes the dew to clear summer-heat pathogens; if there is no summer-heat pathogen, exposure to dew is not necessary.) Take warm two hours before the onset of the attack, facing east. If nausea occurs, suppress it by mixing Wumei (Mume Fructus) flesh with sugar. For robust individuals, use Miduoseng (Lithargyri Pulvis) ground into fine powder. Adults take 7 fen, children reduce the dose accordingly. Mix with cold rice wine and take facing south. If not cured, take again; it will surely stop.
Avoid chicken, fish, beans, wheat/noodles, hot congee, hot foods, and soups.
Changshan (Dichroae Radix, stir-fried with strong liquor, 2 qian) Caoguo (Tsaoko Fructus, baked, 1 qian) Binglang (Arecae Semen) Zhimu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma) Chuanbeimu (Fritillariae Thunbergii Bulbus) (each 1 qian) Wumei (Mume Fructus) (2 pieces) Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), Zao (Jujubae Fructus) decocted.
(Another prescription adds Chuanshanjia (Manis Squama) and Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma).) Zhao Yi-de stated: Zhimu is cold in nature and clears heat; Caoguo is warm in nature and overcomes cold; Changshan induces vomiting to resolve phlegm knots; Binglang breaks stagnant qi; Wumei generates fluids and reduces fever; Gancao supports healthy qi and harmonizes the middle; Chuanshanjia penetrates meridians to move resolved pathogens. Note: Malaria can only be intercepted after three or four attacks. Intercepting too early means the pathogen is not yet exhausted, and forcibly stopping it will inevitably lead to other syndromes.
(Newly formulated. Very effective for common malaria after three or four attacks.)
Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix, stir-fried with wine, 1.5 qian) Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, stir-fried, 1 qian) Renshen (Ginseng Radix) (0.5 qian) Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (0.5 qian) Caoguo (Tsaoko Fructus, baked, 1 qian) Binglang (Arecae Semen) (1 qian) Qingpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium Viride), Houpo (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex) (stir-fried with ginger juice, each 1 qian) Changshan (Dichroae Radix, stir-fried with wine, 2 qian) Heshouwu (Polygoni Multiflori Radix) (2 qian) Zao (Jujubae Fructus) 2 pieces, Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma) 3 slices, decoct together. For hot phlegm, add Chuanbeimu (Fritillariae Thunbergii Bulbus); for damp phlegm, add Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma); for absence of sweating, add Qianghuo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix) and Zisu (Perillae Folium); for excessive sweating, add Huangqi (Astragali Radix) and Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma). For night attacks belonging to the yin aspect, add Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Biejia (Testudinis Carapax et Plastrum), and Honghua (Carthami Flos) to clear heat; add Jiuchao Shengma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma stir-fried with wine) to extract pathogens to the yang aspect. With summer-heat, add Chuanlianhuang (Coptidis Rhizoma) and Xiangru (Elsholtziae Herba); with dampness, add Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma) and Fuling (Poria); with food retention, add Shanzha (Crataegi Fructus), Maiya (Hordei Fructus Germinatus), and Shenqu (Massa Medicata Fermentata); with chest fullness, add Zhiqiao (Aurantii Fructus); with thirst, add Huafen (Trichosanthis Radix), Wumei (Mume Fructus), and Shigao (Gypsum Fibrosum). When wind-heat is in the stomach and body fluids are consumed, add Lizhi (Pyrus Juice), Zheshuang (Saccharum Juice), or Shengdi (Rehmanniae Radix), Shengge (Puerariae Radix), and Xigua (Citrullus Lanatus) juices. This corresponds to the classic saying: "When wind invades internally, treat with sweet and cold [substances]."
