剃儿头法一首
崔氏初剃儿头良日，寅丑日吉，丁未日凶。
Cui believed that the auspicious day for bathing a newborn refers to the bath on the day of birth; subsequent baths are also considered auspicious. The Yin, Mao, and You days are highly auspicious, while the Renwu, Dingwei, and Guisi days are inauspicious.
Another prescription is "Tiger Head Bone Decoction" (Hutou Gu Tang) for newborn bathing, which mainly serves to ward off evil qi (pathogenic factors) and prevent the infant from being startled or suffering from various sores and scabies.
Herbs: Tiger Head Bone (Wutou Gu, 5 liang), Sophora Root (Kushen, 4 liang), Angelica Dahurica (Baizhi, 3 liang).
Cut the above three herbs, boil them in one dou of water to make a decoction, add a small amount of pig bile, adjust to a suitable temperature, and bathe the infant. This is beneficial.
Another method treats infants suddenly afflicted by Ke Wu (sudden invasion by external pathogenic factors causing convulsions or shock), manifesting as vomiting, diarrhea, refusal to nurse, cyanotic or yellowish complexion, and a wiry and rapid pulse. Use bathing as treatment.
Take seventy copper coins, boil them in three dou of water until they impart flavor, adjust to a suitable temperature, and bathe the infant. This is beneficial.
Another prescription is for bathing an infant on the third day after birth to remove sores.
Herbs: Peach Root (Taogen), Plum Root (Ligen), Plum Root (Meigen) (8 liang each).
Cut the above three herbs, add an appropriate amount of water, boil for three to four times, and use it to bathe the infant.
Another prescription is "Six-Ingredient Ma Cao Decoction" (Li Wu Mangcao Tang) for bathing infants who suddenly suffer from cold and heat imbalance and cannot take oral medication.
Herbs: Daphne Gnidia (Mangcao), Salvia Miltiorrhiza (Danshen), Cnidium Fruit (Shechuangzi), Cassia Twig (Guixin) (3 liang each), Acorus Tatarinowii (Changpu, half jin), Polyporus Umbellatus (Leiwan, 1 jin).
Crush the above six herbs, boil them in three dou of water for three to five boils, adjust to a suitable temperature, and bathe the infant. After bathing, keep the infant away from sunlight in a shaded place.
Another prescription for treating infantile fever uses a single herb: "Plum Leaf Decoction" (Li Ye Tang).
Use an unspecified amount of Plum Leaves (Liye), boil in water, strain, and use the liquid to bathe the infant. This is beneficial. (Taboos are the same as mentioned previously.)
Another prescription:
Bathing the infant with Angelica Dahurica (Baizhi) decoction is good; both roots and shoots can be used.
Another prescription:
Bathing the infant with Sophora Root (Kushen) decoction is good.
For ordinary infant bathing not intended for treating specific diseases, the following general method applies.
After the water is ready, add a small amount of Qing Jiang Shui (fermented rice water) and a pinch of salt. Bathe the infant, and after bathing, massage the infant with powder. This prevents fear of wind and helps dissipate various pathogenic qi.
Furthermore, infants should not be bathed frequently; frequent bathing often leads to a cold back and may induce epilepsy (Xian Bing). The water temperature must be appropriately adjusted.
Another prescription for treating infantile high fever when oral medication is not feasible is "Twelve-Ingredient Han Shui Shi Powder" (Shi Er Wu Hanshui Shi Fen San) for dusting the infant.
Herbs: Aragonite (Hanshuishi), Mirabilite (Mangxiao), Talcum (Huashi), Gypsum Fibrosum (Shigao), Red Halloysite (Chishizhi), Aucklandia Root (Qingmuxiang), Licorice Root (Gancao, roasted), Rhubarb (Dahuang), Scutellaria Root (Huangqin), Szechuan Lovage Root (Xiong), Ephedra Herb (Mahuang, nodes removed), Oyster Shell (Muli, calcined).
Grind the above herbs in equal parts and sieve. Mix one sheng of powder with three he of herbal powder, and sieve again. Dust the infant with this powder three times a day; stop when the fever subsides. (The original formula contains Saposhnikovia Root (Fangfeng) instead of Oyster Shell (Muli).)
Another prescription for treating infantile night sweats is "Three-Ingredient Huanglian Powder" (San Wu Huanglian Fen).
Herbs: Coptis Rhizome (Huanglian), Oyster Shell (Muli, calcined), Fritillaria Bulb (Beimu).
Grind the above herbs in equal parts and sieve. Dust the infant with this powder. This is beneficial. (From Volume 10, Upper Scroll.)
Method for Shaving Infant Hair: One Prescription
Cui believed that the auspicious days for shaving an infant's hair are the Yin and Chou days, while the Dingwei day is inauspicious.
