People often experience sudden lethargy and chest oppression due to improper diet. The condition may worsen shortly thereafter, even leading to death; this is termed food poisoning (Shi Du Zhong Du). The term "poison" here refers to toxic substances intentionally added to food by others, which cause death upon ingestion.
Formula for treating food poisoning:
Kushen (Radix Sophorae Flavescentis, 1 liang, cut into pieces)
Take the above single herb, decoct with two large cups of wine until one cup remains, and take it in one dose. Recovery occurs if vomiting ensues.
Formula for treating poisoning from unknown toxins in alcohol:
As mentioned above, Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae Uralensis) and Jicai (Herba Capsellae Bursa-Pastoris) are used together to treat various poisons. They should be decocted in water and the juice taken orally.
Formula for treating poisoning from various cakes and other foods:
Take one Beichi (Concha Arcae), hold it in the mouth. After a short while, spit it out, and the toxicity from the ingested food will be cured.
Another formula:
Crush Jiuzhi (Succus Allii Tuberosi) and take one medium cup. In winter, boil the roots in water and take the decoction.
The term "Six Livestock" refers to cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, chickens, and dogs. These animals are inherently non-toxic and harmless. However, those that die naturally or have succumbed to epidemics possess toxicity. If humans consume meat from such animals and ingest this toxin, they will suffer from mental restlessness and oppression, accompanied by incessant vomiting and diarrhea. This describes the condition.
Formula for treating poisoning from consuming meat of the six livestock, characterized by chest and heart restlessness:
Take Dihuangtu (Yellow earth from the bottom of walls), one qian, and administer with water. The disease will be cured.
Formula for treating poisoning from consuming meat of the six livestock:
In winter, collect the dry feces of the six livestock, grind them into powder, and take with water for best results. If poisoned by meat from self-dead livestock, take Huangbai (Cortex Phellodendri Amurensis) powder, one qian, mixed with water; recovery will occur shortly.
Another formula:
Burn Bian Dou (Vigna angularis), mix with rice water, and take three qian. The effect is miraculous.
If the internal organs of the six livestock shake spontaneously when placed on grass, do not change color when exposed to sour or salty substances, do not become soiled when dropped on the ground, or if dogs refuse to eat them, they contain toxicity capable of causing death.
Meat juices stored in containers with tight lids that do not leak odor are lethal. If poisoned by such meat, take Goufen (Canis Feces) mixed with water, one qian, for good results.
Toxicity in beef arises when snakes hide in the grass; cows ingest the grass and accidentally swallow the snake, leading to death. Alternatively, snakes may excrete venom onto the grass, which cows then consume. This causes severe vomiting, dysentery, and unbearable abdominal pain, resulting in death through various mechanisms.
Formula for treating poisoning from consuming beef:
Burn Zhu Ya (Porcine Incisor Teeth) to ash, grind into powder, and take one qian with water. It is effective.
Another formula:
Take Ban Jin of refined Zhizhi (Succus Suis Adipis), warm it slightly, and divide into two doses for administration.
Formula for treating poisoning from beef:
Drink Ren Ru Zhi (Human Milk), one cup. It is beneficial.
