Source: The etiology of illness states that when a person is bewitched by ghosts or spirits, they often feel sorrowful and their mind moves restlessly. Their heart may be confused as if drunk, speaking wildly, frightened and terrified, weeping sadly while facing the wall, and prone to nightmares in sleep. They may also have intercourse with ghosts and gods. The patient suffers from alternating chills and fever, fullness in the heart and abdomen, shortness of breath, and inability to eat. This is caused by being held captive by evil charms (Chu from Volume 2).
Guangji Fang treats Chuan Shi (Transmission Corpse disease), Gu Zheng (Bone steaming), Zhu Wu Ghost Qi (Infectious Qi), sudden Heartache, Huoluan (Cholera-like disorder) with vomiting and diarrhea, Shiqi Gui Mei Zhang Nue (Seasonal ghost charm malarial fever), Chi Bai Bao Li (Sudden red and white dysentery), Yu Xue Yue Bi (Blood stasis and amenorrhea), Pi Ding Zhong (Accumulation and carbuncle swelling), Jing Xian Gui Wu Zhong Ren (Startled epilepsy and ghost interference affecting humans), Tu Ru Hu Mei (Vomiting milk and fox charm). The formula for Kelifujia Wan is as follows:
Kelifujia (i.e., Baizhu/Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Guangming Sha (Cinnabaris, ground), Shexiang (Moschus, Dangmenzi part), Helile Pi (Terminaliae Chebulae Pericarpium), Xiangfuzi (Cyperi Rhizoma, middle white part), Chenxiang (Aquilariae Lignum Resinatum, heavy quality), Qingmuxiang (Aucklandiae Radix), Longnaoxiang (Borneolum Syntheticum) [Note: Text implies equal parts or specific measures for these ingredients among fifteen total]. The above fifteen flavors are pounded and sifted into an extremely fine powder. White honey is boiled to remove foam, then mixed to form pills. Every morning, take Jingshua Shui (well water drawn at dawn) to swallow four pills the size of wu zi (Chinese quince seeds). Crush the pill in a clean vessel before taking. For elderly and children, crush one pill per dose. Additionally, take one pill the size of a bullet, wrap it in wax paper, place it in a crimson bag, and wear it over the heart. All evil ghosts dare not approach. This is a secret not passed down by Qianjin. Use cold or warm water according to circumstances. Avoid raw meat and blood; making the medicine in the twelfth lunar month is spiritually potent. Store in a sealed container to prevent gas leakage. Keep it secret. Avoid raw blood products, peaches, plums, sparrow meat, green fish, vinegar, etc.
Another formula for treating Jing Mei (Spirit Charm) disease:
Shuiyin (Mercurius, 1 liang). Take Mercurius, add it to one sheng of Jiangshui (fermented grain wash), and boil over charcoal fire until reduced by two-thirds. Immediately remove from heat and retrieve the Mercurius, which should resemble a cooked bean. Wrap the Mercurius in a Shenfu (Divine Talisman) of the current day and swallow on an empty stomach. Swallow another dose in the evening. Cease after three days. No dietary restrictions apply. (Both from Volume 4).
Zhouhou Fang treats sudden attack by evil charms causing trance, trembling, and jaw clenching.
Moxibustion on Renzhong (GV26) below the nose, and at the base of the great toenails on both hands and feet. Place the moxa cone half on the nail and half on the flesh, seven moxibustions each. If not cured, increase to fourteen moxibustions for recovery. (Jiyan Fang agrees, from Volume 3).
Shenshi Fang's Wuxie Wan treats evil madness and ghost charms, wild talking, running madly, trance, and not recognizing people. This is caused by ghost charms; one should obtain the Shagui Wan (Ghost-Killing Pill) formula:
Dansha (Cinnabaris, ground), Xionghuang (Realgar, ground), Longgu (Fossilized bones, fossilized mammal teeth, etc.), Mumu Dougong, Guijian (Araliae Chinensis Ramulus), Guijiu (Podophylli Peltati Rhizoma et Radix) (each 5 liang), Chixiaodou (Adzuki Bean, 3 liang), Qing (one piece), Taoren (Peach Kernel, 100 pieces, peeled, tips removed, fried and separately ground).
The above nine flavors are pounded and sifted. Xionghuang and Dansha are separately ground finely and sifted through silk gauze. Mix with other medicines, blend well, then add melted wax to form pills the size of bullets. Store in a crimson bag. Tie to the arm; men on the left, women on the right, children on the head. Do not let women, chickens, or dogs see the medicine preparation. Take pills mixed with honey, size of wu zi, three pills per dose, three times daily. Avoid five pungent spices and raw blood products. (From Volume 9).
Duanju Fang's Siwu Yuantou San treats ghost charms.
Donghai Yuantou (Youyaba Gen/Bupleuri Root?), Huangyas Hi (Huangya Shi/Golden Tooth Stone), Langdang (Daturae Fructus), Fangkui (Peucedani Radix) (each 1 fen).
Pound the above medicines and sift. Take one fangcun bi (square-inch spoonful) with wine. To make the patient see ghosts, add one fen of Fangkui. To make the patient know the master of the ghosts, add another fen. It works immediately. Fangkui and Langdang cause confusion, trance, and madness like insanity; do not take in large doses. (Beiji Qianjin Yaofang agrees, from Volume 5).
Jiyan Fang treats men suffering from ghost charms to the point of death, seeing terrifying sights wanting to flee, with intermittent attacks, all caused by evil qi that cannot be stopped independently. The Jiuwu Niuhuang Wan (Nine-Ingredient Bull Gallstone Pill) formula:
Jingshi (Renjing/Human Essence), Zengqing (Canglongjing/Cyan Dragon Essence, ground), Yuxi (Baihujing/White Tiger Essence, ground), Niuhuang (Tiger Calculus, Earth Essence, ground), Xionghuang (Realgar, Earth Essence, ground), Kongqing (Tianjing/Sky Essence, ground), Chishizhi (Vermilion Stone, Vermilion Bird Essence), Xuanshen (Scrophulariae Radix, Zhenwu Essence), Longgu (Water Essence, each 1 liang).
These nine items are called Nine Essences. They connect upwards to the Nine Heavens and downwards to the Nine Earths.
Pound and sift the above. Mix with honey to form pills the size of small beans. Swallow one pill before meals, three times daily. Gradually increase dosage until effective. Avoid sheep blood. (Wenzhong, Qianjin Fang, Yi Fang agree, from Volume 3).
Bixiao Fang to ward off ghost charms:
Hu Zhao (Tiger Claw), Chizhu (Red Cinnabar), Xionghuang (Realgar), Xie Zhua (Crab Claw).
Pound the above four ingredients until crushed. Melt Songzhi (Pine Resin) with heat and mix to form pills. Otherwise, they will be hard. Burn them on the first day of the month or where fox ghosts reside; this is very effective. Smoke sorcerers with it, and the spirits will depart. Wang Sanshi says it has miraculous effects. Avoid raw blood products. (From Volume 4).
Jinxiao Fang's Da Shexiang Wan treats chronic heart pain, Shizhu (Corpse Transmission), Guzadu Syndrome (Gu Poison), accumulation patterns, Qi attacking the Heart, masses under the costal regions, Wen Zhang Jing Mei Xieqi (Warm Miasma Spirit Charm Evil Qi), sadness or crying, and stings from snakes, scorpions, and bees. Formula:
Shexiang (Moschus), Niuhuang (Tiger Calculus), Lilu (Veratri Viridis Rhizoma, roasted), Zhusha (Cinnabaris), Shu Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Fuling (Poria), Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix), Guijianyu (Araliae Chinensis Ramulus), Jinya (Golden Tooth Stone), Wutou (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, processed), Guixin (Cinnamomi Cortex), Shaoyao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) [Note: Text lists 23 ingredients but only enumerates some clearly; quantities like "half fen" are mentioned for some].
Pound and sift the above twenty-three flavors. Mix with honey to form pills the size of wu zi. Take three pills with water. Diarrhea will occur at Chen hour (7-9 AM). If no diarrhea, drink hot liquid to induce it. For stings by snakes, scorpions, and bees, take one pill, crush it, mix with vinegar, and apply topically for recovery. Spirits, ghosts, foxes throwing bricks/tiles or marching like troops at night are ghost charms. Take two pills of the aforementioned medicine daily, regardless of time. Recovery occurs within two to three days. Also, burn one pill daily to fumigate the body and clothes. Burning it in the house is also good. Healthy people can carry three to five pills in a crimson silk bag tied to the left arm to repel tigers, venomous snakes, and various spirit charms. Avoid cat meat, raw blood products, pork, raw green onions, and reeds.
