上
According to the *Bing Yuan* (Etiology and Pathogenesis), Fengdian (Wind-induced Epilepsy) arises from deficiency of blood and qi, allowing wind pathogens to invade the Yin meridians. When a person's blood and qi are insufficient, the Heart becomes deficient, leading to the dispersion of spirit and mind (*Shen* and *Hun*) and erratic behavior of the soul. Due to injury by wind pathogens, when the pathogen enters the Yin meridians, it results in Dianji (Epilepsy). Furthermore, if the mother suffers a sudden great fright during pregnancy, the essence and qi may become disordered and accumulate, causing the child to develop epilepsy after birth.
Regarding its onset: [Text describes specific physical manifestations or movements such as leaning against walls, heat-induced epilepsy, etc.] It cures Touxuan Fengdian (Vertigo and Wind-induced Epilepsy). Long-term walking while lying in mid-air without falling. (From Volume 2)
The *Jiyan Fang* (Collected Proven Prescriptions) discusses Fengdian: Generally, when an epileptic seizure occurs, the patient falls to the ground, vomits saliva and foam, and loses consciousness. If the condition is severe, resembling madness with struggling, or accompanied by fecal incontinence, it is difficult to treat. No prescription is provided here. (From Volume 3; identical content in *Qianjin Fang*)
*Qianjin Fang* Prescription for Treating Wind-induced Epilepsy:
Tinglizi (Thlaspi Semen, prepared and ground), Qiandan (Lead Tetroxide), Gualou (Trichosanthes Fruit), Huzhang (Aconitum carmichaelii side root), each 3 fen; Wutou (Aconitum carmichaelii lateral root, processed), 3 fen; Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), 1 fen; Chitou (Owl head, roasted), 1 piece; Tiejing (Iron powder); Ru (likely referring to a specific herb or part, contextually linked to other ingredients), each 1 liang; Jiao (Zanthoxylum bungeanum, treated to remove moisture); Daji (Euphorbia pekinensis, roasted); Gansui (Kansui Root); Tianxiong (Aconitum kusnezoffii root, processed), each 2 fen.
Grind the above thirteen herbs into fine powder. Mix with honey to form pills the size of a wu zi (cibotium seed). Take 2 pills, twice daily. Avoid peaches, plums, sparrow meat, pork, and cold water. (*Jingxin Lu* has a prescription with the same name "Chitou Wan")
Another Prescription: Xiongtang Decoction. Mainly treats wind-induced epilepsy. Symptoms include pulling pain in the hypochondrium, vomiting upon attack, and tinnitus like cicada buzzing.
Xiong (Ligusticum chuanxiong), Ben (Ligusticum wallichii), Ru (each 5 liang).

Another Prescription: Tianmendong Wine. Universally treats internal wind, emptiness of the five zang and six fu organs, five exhaustions and seven injuries, stagnation of qi, cold and heat wind patterns, epilepsy, and malignant diseases.
Tianmendong resembles Bubu. Tianmendong tastes sweet and has square ends; Bubu is slender and bitter, causing diarrhea. Take one dou of Tianmendong juice, soak two sheng of yeast starter, let the wine ferment... [Text contains fragmented instructions regarding fermentation time and processing]. Remove the heart and peel of Tianmendong, dry in the sun, grind, and sieve. Using the aforementioned wine method, take one fangcun bi (square-inch spoonful) each time, three times daily, gradually increasing to three spoonfuls. Long-term use promotes longevity.
