Treatment for wind epilepsy and phlegm obstruction caused by stroke: Use 2 liang of lead tetroxide (Huang Dan) and 2 liang of alum (Bai Fan). Place a sheet of paper on a new brick, spread the lead tetroxide on the paper first, then spread the alum on top of the lead tetroxide. Cover with paper, and burn using ten jin of willow firewood until consumed. Remove to eliminate "fire toxicity," grind into fine powder. Take 1 qian per dose, mixed with warm wine.
Treatment for wind mania accompanied by hypochondriac pain, tinnitus like cicada chirping, and vomiting: Use Asparagi Radix (Tian Men Dong), remove the heart and peel, dry it, and grind into powder. Take one fang cun bi (a square-inch measure) mixed with wine.
Treatment for pig epilepsy and sheep epilepsy: Use 1 liang 3 qian each of Mercury (Shui Yin), Black Lead (Hei Qian), Cinnabar (Chen Sha), and Frankincense (Ru Xiang). First melt the black lead, add mercury, and pound/grind using a willow wood pestle. Administer orally, then eat one bowl of white porridge after a while. Three to four doses can cure the condition.
Treatment for fright epilepsy causing mental confusion, erroneous speech, and uncontrolled singing or laughing: Use 1 jin of fox meat along with its five viscera. Boil in soybean paste juice (Chi Zhi), season with five flavors to make a soup or roast and eat. Also treats cold accumulation in the five zang organs and cold-heat symptoms caused by gu poison.
Treatment for the five types of epilepsy characterized by phlegm-saliva obstruction, locked jaw, upward staring of eyes, and occasional convulsions/spasms: Use 10 liang of Hematite (Shi Lu/Dai Zhe Shi), finely ground nine times, sifted. Mix with 70 tips of Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata (Fu Zi Jian) and 70 tips of Aconiti Radix (Wu Tou Jian), and 70 scorpions (Xie Shao). Grind all into powder, form pills with wheat starch paste the size of a corn kernel. For each dose, dissolve one pill in half a cup of Mint Juice (Bo He Zhi) and take it, followed by half a he of warm wine. Phlegm-saliva will be vomited out shortly. If the jaw is tightly locked, pry it open and administer the medicine.
Treatment for epilepsy where the forehead and palm lines appear red: Use 3 sheng of Datura Seed (Lang Dang Zi), crush them, soak in 1 sheng of wine for half a day, squeeze out the juice, pour into a porcelain vessel, and boil over water bath until it can be formed into pills the size of a small bean, gradually increasing to the size of a paulownia seed. Take two pills per dose with warm wine. For daily attacks, cure in three days; for every-other-day attacks, cure in ten days of medication; for attacks once every five days, cure in twenty days; for attacks once every six months, cure in one month of medication.
Treatment for long-standing or recent wind epilepsy, heart-related wind syndrome, manic stroke, tidal closure of saliva/phlegm, locked jaw, and tetanic spasms from traumatic wound: Use 1 jin of non-borer, plump Gleditsia Sinensis Fruit (Zao Jiao), remove skin and strings, chop finely. Soak in one bowl of sour grain water for 3-4 days in spring/autumn, 1-2 days in summer, 7 days in winter. Rub to remove dregs, pour juice into a silver vessel or clay pot, and slow-cook while stirring with locust or willow branches until it becomes a paste. Spread onto thick paper, dry in shade, and store. When needed, take a piece the size of a palm, dissolve in warm grain water in a cup, and instill into the patient's nostrils using a bamboo tube. Saliva discharge indicates efficacy. To stop salivation, drink 1-2 mouthfuls of warm salt water. Avoid chicken, fish, raw/hard foods, and wet noodles.
Treatment for various wind epilepsies: Use slightly more Lingzhi Spirit Mushroom (Wei Ling Xian), and equal parts of Saposhnikovia Root (Fang Feng), Schizonepeta Spike (Jing Jie), Stephania Root (Fang Ji), Ephedra Herb (Ma Huang), Apricot Kernel (Xing Ren), Asarum Root (Xi Xin), Ligusticum Rhizome (Chuan Xiong), and Angelica Dahurica Root (Bai Zhi). Chop finely. Add 3 slices of ginger and half a wine cup of water, decoct until reduced to 70%. Take hot during an attack. Afterwards, roast Huang Jing (Vitex) branches, collect the exuded fluid from both ends, mix with aged wine, and swallow with Jin Bo Zhen Xin Wan (Gold Foil Heart-Calming Pill). Avoid foods that trigger wind-toxicity. Effective for both men and women regardless of disease duration.
