Etiology: The cause of Stone Lin (Stone strangury) is the passage of stones during urination. The Kidney governs water metabolism; when water stagnates and condenses, it transforms into stones. Therefore, sand and stones lodge in the Kidney. If the Kidney is deficient and attacked by Heat pathogenic factors, the Heat leads to the onset of Lin syndrome, causing obstruction and pain in the urinary tract.
Fan Wang's prescription for treating Stone Lin:
Calcinate turtle plastron (Bie Jia), grind into powder, and sieve. Take one cun bi (a measure of volume) with wine. Administer frequently over several doses; the stone should be expelled. (Same as *Zhou Hou Bei Ji Fang*)
Another prescription:
Take the leaves/stems of a vine growing on a fence wall, dig up to the root, break it off, place a cup in the pit to catch the exuded juice, and take one sheng (a measure of volume). The stone should naturally pass. If it does not pass, take another sheng.
Another prescription:
Take two sheng of Plantaginis Semen (Che Qian Zi), place in a silk bag, add eight sheng of water, boil down to three sheng, remove dregs, and take in one dose. Take another dose after some time; the stone should descend. Do not eat the night before; this method is miraculous and effective. (Same as *Zhou Hou Bei Ji Fang* and *Qian Jin Fang*)
Another prescription:
Bai Zi Ren (Biota Seed), Mustard Seed (Jie Zi), Talcum (Hua Shi) (equal parts).
Grind these three herbs into powder. Take one cun bi with wheat juice, three times daily. Effective.

Calcinate ox horn (Niu Jiao) and take one cun bi, five to six times daily. Drink alcohol as desired.
Another prescription:
Grind Qu Mai Zi (Seed of Agrostis/Galege) into powder, take one cun bi with wine, three times daily. Within one to two days, the stone should descend. Alternatively, crush Xiang Ru (Mosla Herb) into fragments, take one cun bi with vinegar juice, three times daily. Within two to three days, the stone should descend. (Both from Volume 15)
*Duan Ju*'s prescription for treating Stone Lin:
Take enough pumice stone (Fu Shi) to fill one hand, grind into powder. Add three sheng of water and one sheng of vinegar (Ku Jiu), boil down to two sheng. Clarify, warm, and take one sheng. After no more than two or three doses, the stone will be expelled. (Same as *Gu Jin Lu Yan*, *Qian Jin Fang*, and Cui Shi's formula, all from Volume 4)
*Ji Yan*'s prescription for treating Stone Lin:
Take one sheng of carp teeth (Li Yu Chi) and one sheng of shell teeth (Bei Chi). Grind and sieve. Mix with three-year-old vinegar (Ku Jiu). Divide into three doses. Fast overnight. Take one dose in the morning, one at noon, and one in the evening. (Same as *Gu Jin Lu Yan* and Fan Wang)
Wen Zhong's prescription for Stone Lin:
Take peach gum (Tao Jiao) the size of a jujube. In summer, soak in three he of cold water; in winter, mix with three he of hot water. Take once, three times daily. The stone should descend. Stop when the stone is fully expelled. (Same as *Qian Jin Fang* and *Gu Jin Lu Yan*)
Another prescription:
Boil fresh Plantago herb (Che Qian Cao) juice thickly and drink it. It is excellent. (Same as *Gu Jin Lu Yan*, from Volume 4)

Grind these two ingredients into powder. Add two sheng of water, boil down to one sheng, and take in one dose. Cure immediately. Using only the fish head stone is also good.

Another prescription for treating Stone Lin:
Take one old chicken egg. Add one sheng of vinegar. Place the egg and vinegar in a vessel. Seal the top with three to four layers of oiled paper tightly to prevent water entry. Submerge in a well overnight. At dawn, take out, peel off the shell, and swallow the yolk. The stone will dissolve and disappear. (All from Volume 26)
