Infantile *gan* qi (accumulation disorder) arises from irregular diet and excessive intake of raw or cold foods, which clash with the internal Qi of the Zang-Fu organs, leading to stagnation and accumulation. The clinical presentation involves cord-like hard masses in the upper and lower regions around the umbilicus and hypochondrium; these masses may be as large as an arm or as small as a finger. Upon onset, they cause acute pain, hence the name "gan qi."
To treat infantile *gan* qi with acute pain, use Jing San Leng San:
Jing San Leng (Rhizoma Sparganii, 1 fen, lightly roasted and crushed), Bie Jia (Carapax et Plastrum Testudinis, 1 fen, vinegar-processed until yellow, remove skirt), Zhi Qiao (Fructus Aurantii, 1 fen, bran-fried until slightly yellow, remove pith), Da Fu Zi (Semen Arecae, 0.5 liang, bran-fried until slightly yellow), Qing Ju Pi (Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae Viride, 0.5 liang, albedo removed).
The above herbs are finely ground into powder. Each dose consists of half a qian, taken orally mixed with rice water, three times daily. Dosage should be adjusted according to the child's age and size.
To treat infantile *gan* qi characterized by abdominal tightening, pain, and loss of appetite, use Da Huang San:
Chuan Da Huang (Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, 1 liang, crushed and lightly roasted), Bie Jia (Carapax et Plastrum Testudinis, 1 liang, vinegar-processed until yellow, remove skirt), Jing San Leng (Rhizoma Sparganii, 0.5 liang, lightly roasted and crushed), Mu Xiang (Radix Aucklandiae, 1 fen).

Bie Jia (Carapax et Plastrum Testudinis, 1 liang, vinegar-processed until yellow, remove skirt), Ren Shen (Radix Ginseng, 0.5 liang, radix tip removed), Gan Jiang (Rhizoma Zingiberis, 0.5 liang, processed until cracked and crushed), Bai Zhu (Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae, 0.5 liang), Zhi Qiao (Fructus Aurantii, 0.5 liang, bran-fried until slightly yellow, remove pith), Chai Hu (Radix Bupleuri, 0.5 liang, radix tip removed), Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis, 0.5 liang, crushed and lightly roasted), Chi Shao Yao (Radix Paeoniae Rubra, 0.5 liang), Chen Pi (Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae, 0.5 liang, albedo removed, processed with ginger juice), Hou Po (Cortex Magnoliae Officinalis, 0.5 liang, bark removed, processed with ginger juice).
