A formula for treating various diseases and deficiency-fatigue (Xu Lao), which, when taken long-term, enables one to withstand cold and heat.

Sesame Oil (1 Sheng)
Scallion White (Xie Bai) (1 Jin)
Take the above two ingredients. Simmer Scallion White over low heat until it turns yellow. Strain out the dregs. Take with wine, 1 Ge per dose. After 100 days, the body becomes plump and full; after 200 days, the elderly appear younger; after 300 days, all diseases are cured.

White Quartz (Bai Shi Ying) (15 Liang, crushed to rice-grain size, wrapped in cotton and stored in tight silk)
Take this single ingredient. Use 3 Sheng of cow's milk and 3 Sheng of water. Decoct until 3 Sheng remains. Take all at once. Once daily. The material can be reused for up to 20 decoctions before replacement. Crush and sieve into powder. Soak in 3 Sheng of wine for 14 days (two seven-day periods). Consume while maintaining a sensation of alcohol warmth in the body, but do not become intoxicated. This is supreme for tonifying deficiency-fatigue. If physical strength permits, taking it for one or two years yields even greater benefits. For elderly patients with pre-existing dim vision, do not take with wine; instead, take with plain water. Those with dim vision need only abstain from wine and garlic entirely to avoid contraindications.

Discussion: The preceding chapters focused on dietary therapy. When that fails, medicinal treatment is prescribed. Combining food and medicine ensures no disease can escape cure. The method of ingestion is as follows:

For masters suffering from deficiency-fatigue and myriad ailments, since the human body is weak and prone to exhaustion, Huangqi (Astragalus Root) is used to tonify fatigue. Therefore, people should commonly take this formula.
