*Zhouhou Beiji Fang* (Emergency Prescriptions Kept in the Sleeve) prescriptions for sudden abdominal pain:
Jingmi (Glutinous Rice, 2 sheng)
Take the above single herb, add six sheng of water, boil until it boils six or seven times, and drink.
Another prescription:
Dig a small pit in the soil, fill the pit with water, stir vigorously to extract the juice, and drink it to cure the condition. (Both from Volume I)
Zhang Wenzhong's prescription for sudden abdominal pain:
Have the patient lie supine with a pillow about one chi high under their head, prop up their knees, causing the abdominal skin to retract and qi to enter the chest. Have someone press with fingernails on the point three cun above the umbilicus; the pain will resolve. Those who can swallow air dryly dozens of times will have even better results. This also treats heart pain. (Same as *Zhouhou Beiji Fang* and *Beiji Qianjin Yaofang*)
Another prescription:
Moxibustion on the tips of both big toes, fourteen moxa cones each, ensuring the heat penetrates evenly is effective. (Same as *Beiji Qianjin Yaofang* and *Zhouhou Beiji Fang*, both from Volume I)
*Qianjin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) Shengjiang Tang (Ginger Decoction) for sudden pain in the chest and abdomen:
Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger, one jin, crushed to extract juice) Femi (Honey, eight liang) Tihu (Clarified Butter/Su You, four liang)
Simmer the above three ingredients over low heat until they blend well. Take Sanhe (approx. 60ml) when warm, three times a day. (From Volume XVI)
*Jiyan Fang* (Collected Proven Prescriptions) Ge Shi's prescription for sudden abdominal pain:
Guimo (Cinnamon Bark Powder), three bi (spoonfuls), taken with wine. Renshen (Ginseng) or high-quality Ganjiang (Dried Ginger) are also good. Avoid raw green onions. (Same as *Zhouhou Beiji Fang* and Zhang Wenzhong's prescription)
Another prescription:
A large handful of Yanshi (Salt), taken with plenty of water to induce vomiting. (Same as *Zhouhou Beiji Fang* and Zhang Wenzhong's prescription, both from Volume I)
*Bingyuan* (Source of Diseases) states that Heart-Abdominal Pain arises from the weakness of the fu and zang organs, allowing wind-cold pathogens to lodge within. When the pathogenic qi erupts and clashes with healthy qi, rushing upward to the heart, it causes heart pain; attacking downward to the abdomen, it causes abdominal pain; attacking both up and down, it results in severe cramping pain in the heart and abdomen, with inability to breathe smoothly. Upon pulse diagnosis, the area before the Renying point at the Cunkou position on the left hand corresponds to the Hand-Shaoyin Heart Meridian. A deep pulse indicates Yin; Yin deficiency leads to bitter heart-abdominal pain, difficulty speaking, a sensation of cold in the heart, heart-abdominal pain, and pain preventing normal breathing. A fine and small pulse indicates survival, while a large, firm, and rapid pulse indicates death. For heart-abdominal pain, a deep, fine, and small pulse suggests survival, whereas a floating, large, and rapid pulse suggests death. Their decoctions, hot compresses, and needle-stone therapies, along with specific regimens for tonification and guidance exercises, are attached separately below. The *Yangsheng Fang · Daoyin Fa* (Guidance and Pulling Method) states: Walking the Great Way often following the movements of the sun, moon, and stars; maintaining purity and stillness until the rooster crows; resting safely, rinsing the mouth and swallowing saliva three times; regulating the five zang organs; killing gu parasites; enabling longevity; and treating heart-abdominal pain. (From Volume XVI)

Sift the above ten herbs into powder. Take one fangcunbi (square-inch spoonful) with ginger and jujube decoction on an empty stomach, three times a day. Gradually increase to one and a half fangcunbi. If feeling excessive heat, take with tea beverage; if no adverse effects occur, continue. Avoid pork, vinegar products, raw green onions, cold/raw foods, greasy foods, adzuki beans, sticky foods, hot noodles, and roasted meats.
Another prescription, Danggui Tang (Angelica Decoction), for sudden heart-abdominal pain, qi distension and fullness, inability to eat, where inducing three liang of bowel movement is desirable:
