The *Guangji Fang* treats night crying in infants caused by the five types of fright, with the Longjiao Wan (Dragon Horn Pill) formula.
Longjiao (Dragon Horn), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix), Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) (each 2 fen), Mudanpi (Moutan Cortex) (1 fen), Zhachan (Cicadae Alae - specifically the locust cicada wing) (one piece, roasted), Niuhuang (Bovis Calculus) (five pieces, size of a small bean).
The above six herbs are crushed and sifted, mixed with honey to form pills the size of hemp seeds. The dosage should be adjusted according to the infant's age; it is very effective. (*Qianjin Fang* substitutes Mudanpi with Muli [Ostreae Concha], and Cui Shi named this formula Wu Jing Wan [Five Frights Pill]).
*Qianjin Fang* treats infantile fright crying.
Roast the white part of chicken excrement until dry, grind into powder, and take a small amount mixed with milk.
Another prescription:
Burn the rope used to tie pigs in the twelfth lunar month to ash, and ingest it.
Another prescription:
Burn three cun of dog skin, apply the ash to the nipple for the infant to suckle.
Another prescription:
Apply axle grease the size of a small bean to the infant's mouth and umbilicus; the condition will resolve.
Additionally, for infants suffering from fright crying due to abdominal pain caused by undigested retained milk, the Niuhuang Wan (Cow Gallstone Pill) formula is as follows:
Da Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata) (two pieces, processed and peeled), Niuhuang (Bovis Calculus) (3 zhu), Badou (Crotonis Fructus) (decored, peeled, and roasted), Xingren (Pruni Semen), Zhenzhu (Margarita) (each 1 liang, finely ground).
The above five ingredients: first crush the Da Fuzi and Zhenzhu and sift them. Separately, crush the Badou and Xingren into a paste. Add the Da Fuzi powder and Niuhuang, and pound one thousand two hundred times. If too dry, add a little honey to moisten. For a hundred-day-old infant, administer a pill the size of millet; for a three-year-old, a pill the size of a hemp seed; for children aged five or six, a pill the size of a broad bean. Administer twice daily after breastfeeding. After administration, there should be slight movement in the upper and lower abdomen. If the pill is passed intact in stool, the disease is cured; if the medicine disperses, administer again. (All from Volume 5).
Wenzhong's Hermit Effective Prescriptions: Infantile night crying and restlessness is due to abdominal pain, thus worsening at night, resembling ghostly affliction. The Wuweizi Tang (Schisandra Decoction) formula is as follows:
Wuweizi (Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) (each 4 fen), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, processed), Guixin (Cinnamomi Ramulus) (each 2 fen).
The above six herbs are cut, decocted in one sheng of water to obtain five he, and taken in divided doses, adjusting the quantity as needed.
*Qianjin Fang* states that infants suffer from Ke Wu (Guest Impetuosity) because external breaths offend them. It is also known as being offended by "humans." Even family members, if returning from other rooms or households, or if nurses/parents return from outside, their clothes may have encountered spirits, coarse/violent qi, or odors from cattle and horses; all these constitute "Wu" (offense). Upon onset, rapid breathing occurs.
It further states: In cases of Ke Wu, symptoms include frequent vomiting and diarrhea of green, yellow, or white feces, separation of water and grain, severe abdominal twisting pain, and altered facial complexion. The presentation resembles epilepsy (Xian), but without upward deviation of the eyes, and the pulse is rapid and tense. This is Ke Wu, and it is appropriate to treat with Longdan Tang (Gentian Decoction) to purge.
Furthermore, Longdan Tang treats infants just born with abundant blood vessels, excess heat, high fever, convulsions of the four limbs, fever accompanied by severe vomiting; if they can eat but food does not digest, persistent high fever, unresolved physiological transformation (Bian Zheng), infection by guest qi or demonic influence, and various fright-epilepsies. This formula governs all such conditions in infants. This is the first Longdan Tang for infants, intended for newborns. For older infants, adjust proportionally based on this example. If it is confirmed to be Ke Wu with demonic influence, add Renshen (Ginseng Radix) and Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) in amounts corresponding to the dosage of Longdan (Gentianae Radix). For a hundred-day-old infant, add half a fen; for a two-hundred-day-old, add one fen; for a one-year-old, add half a liang. Other herbs follow this standard.
Longdan (Gentianae Radix), Gouteng Pi (Uncariae Ramulus cum Uncis Cortex), Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix), Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix), Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix), Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix), Fushen (Poria with Hostwood), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, processed) (each 1 fen), Qianglang (Scarabaeus) (2 fen, roasted), Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) (4 fen).
The above ten herbs are cut, decocted in one sheng of water to obtain five he as one dose. Administration guidelines: Medicines vary in deficiency and excess; for deficiency patterns, ensure sufficient water volume. For infants aged one to seven days, divide one he into three doses; for eight to fifteen days, divide one and a half he into three doses; for sixteen to twenty-plus to forty days, divide five he into three doses. This applies up to ten years of age. Stop once bowel movements occur; do not continue administering.
Another prescription for sudden Ke Wu in infants resulting in unconsciousness:
Take one portion of fresh, hot horse manure, extract the juice, and give it to the infant to drink. They will recover immediately upon ingestion. This also treats Ke Wu presenting with crying, cyanotic face, and abdominal rigidity.
Another prescription for infants who become distressed suddenly upon seeing people, with sounds in the abdomen: Erwu Shaofen San (Two-Ingredient Burned Powder).
Use ten strands of human scalp hair from a previous birth, along with a small piece of the infant's umbilical cord. Burn them to ash, grind into fine powder, mix with milk, and feed to the infant. Recovery ensues.
Another prescription for infant Ke Wu using Ma Tong Bath Soup:
Use three sheng of horse manure. Burn until smoke ceases, then boil in one dou of wine for three boils. Strain the dregs, and use the liquid to bathe the infant. Recovery ensues.
Furthermore, when returning from riding a horse, sweat odor remains, and without washing hands or changing clothes, one approaches the infant. This causes the infant to suffer from Horse Guest Ke Wu. Sudden sight of the horse, sound of neighing, or contact with horse-related items and odors can induce fear and Qi invasion in the infant. Care must be taken, especially for infants under one year old.
Also, unusual persons or objects entering from outside can startle infants and cause illness. To prevent this, when strangers or strange objects enter the house, keep the infant away and out of sight. If avoidance is not possible, burn cow dung to produce smoke and place it at the doorway; this is beneficial.
Another prescription:
Ingest Musk (Shexiang) the size of a large bean; recovery is immediate.
Another prescription for infantile Ke Wu using Two-Ingredient Yellow Earth Head Application:
Use aged earth from the stove, mixed in equal parts with Qu Fen (fermented mold mass). Pound into a paste the size of an egg yolk. Apply to the infant's head and the five centers (palms and soles). It is effective. (Alternative method: mix with egg white to form a mud-like paste).
Another prescription for infantile Ke Wu with periodic attacks:
Cover the infant with the mother's placenta (Yue Yi). This is highly effective.
Another prescription for sudden Ke Wu:
Shear spiral hair from the shoulder blade of a donkey's front leg, size of a marble. Decoct in milk until the hair dissolves. Apply the resulting medicine to the nipple for the infant to suckle. Recovery occurs upon swallowing.
Another prescription for sudden infantile Ke Wu:
Heat the nose of a bronze mirror until red-hot, drop it into a small amount of wine. Older children drink it; younger children who cannot drink should have it held in their mouth and administered. Recovery ensues. (All from Volume 5).
