For poisoning caused by consuming crabs, decocting Perillae Folium (Zisuye) and drinking the juice, or drinking lotus root juice or crushed garlic juice can all detoxify.

For poisoning caused by consuming soft-shelled turtles (Bie), take one he of fermented soybeans (Douchi) and one bowl of freshly drawn water, decoct into a thick liquid and take in one dose.

Drinking good vinegar will lead to recovery; if not recovered, take it again. The same applies to egg poisoning.

Rhinoceros horn powder (Xijiao mo), mixed with freshly drawn water and taken orally.

Sticky rice washing water (Nuomigan shui), taken hot, one to two cups.

Drink bean juice. Alternatively, take raw Vigna angularis (Sheng Biandou) powder mixed with cold water.

Two he of Polygonatum sibiricum starch (Gefen), mixed with ginger soup and taken orally. Or use only fresh ginger: crush to extract juice, bake the dregs until dry and grind into powder, then form pills using ginger juice paste, taken daily. (Note: Turtledoves often consume seedlings of Aconitum carmichaelii (Wutou) and Pinellia ternata (Banxia), thus ingesting their toxins; therefore, fresh ginger is used to resolve the toxicity.)

This refers to abdominal distension after eating, resolved by vinegar.

Chewing fresh Lonicera japonica vine leaves (Renjinteng ye) leads to immediate recovery. Alternatively, decoct a thick liquid and drink it. Another method involves drinking "earth slurry water" (Dijiang shui). Yet another method uses a small amount of Alum (Baifan) taken with warm water.

Gelsemium elegans (Gouwen) grows beside ponds and resembles celery; it can be distinguished by its hairy roots. Accidental ingestion is fatal. Decocting Isatis tinctoria root? No, text says Qi (Jitianjingjie - sweet bellflower/platycodon) boiling water and take in one dose. Another method shows efficacy with Cinnamomi Cortex Tang (Guixin Tang).

In cases of arsenic (Pi) poisoning, the patient exhibits restlessness resembling madness, severe colicky pain in the heart and abdomen, dizziness with urge to vomit but unable to do so, bluish-black complexion, cold limbs, and six pulses that are flooding and rapid.
[Text fragment] powder dissolved in water, taken cold, also resolves the toxin. If a long time has passed since ingestion, urgently take a piece of black lead (Heiqian), quantity unspecified, grind it into juice with cold water on a stone, and administer while grinding. Recovery occurs if vomiting and diarrhea occur simultaneously. Afterwards, administer a thick decoction of Licorice Root (Gancao). If the patient remains delirious and mute upon waking, grind raw Mung Bean (Sheng Lvdou) into powder daily, mix with cold water, and drink.

Symptoms include dry mouth, red cheeks, heat sensation in the five centers (palms, soles, and chest), and continuous diarrhea. Boil Mung Beans (Lv dou) in water, cool, and drink. Alternatively, decoct Licorice Root (Gancao) and Coptis chinensis (Huanglian), chill the juice, and drink. Relief comes when diarrhea stops.

In cases of Aconite (Fuzi) poisoning, symptoms include head swelling, facial fissures, bleeding, or various signs of internal heat. Urgently crush Mung Beans (Lv dou) and Black Beans (Hei dou) to extract juice and drink. Alternatively, decoct a strong tea of these two beans and drink frequently. Another method involves crushing Fresh River Snails (Tianluo), mixing with water, and drinking.
