口鼻中气出盘旋不散，凝如黑盖色。过十日渐至肩与相连，坚如金石，无由饮食。煎泽
泻汤，日饮三盏，连服五日愈。（夏子益奇疾方）
腹中如铁石，脐中水出，旋变作虫行绕身匝，痒难忍，拨扫不尽。用苍术浓煎汤浴之，
仍以苍术入麝香少许调服。（夏子益奇疾方）
有人卧则觉身外有身，一样无别，但不语。盖人卧则魂归于肝，此由肝虚邪袭魂不归舍，
名曰∶离魂。用人参、龙齿、赤茯苓各一钱，水一盏，煎半盏，调飞过朱砂一钱，睡时服。
一夜一服，三夜后，真者气爽；假者自化矣。又云∶自觉本形作两人并行、并卧，不独卧时
见矣。治法无龙齿，止三味浓煎，日饮，亦不止睡时服。（夏子益奇疾方）
有人手足忽长倒生肉，刺如锥，痛不可忍者，但食葵菜即愈。（夏子益奇疾方）
人忽遍身皮底混混如波浪，身痒不可忍，抓之血出，不能解，谓之气奔。以苦杖、人参、
青盐、细辛各一两，作一服。水煎，细饮尽愈。（苦杖，一名虎杖；一名斑杖；一名酸杖。
茎似红蓼，叶圆似杏，枝黄似柳，花状似菊，色似桃花。一种斑杖似 头者，与此草同名，
异物不可误） （夏子益奇疾方）
寒热不止，数日四肢如石击之似钟磬声，日渐瘦。用茱萸、木香等分，煎汤饮之愈。（夏
子益奇疾方）
The breath exhaled from the mouth and nose swirls and does not dissipate, condensing into a shape resembling a black cover. After ten days, this condition spreads to the shoulders and connects with them, becoming hard as metal or stone, making it impossible to eat or drink. Administer Zexie Tang (Alisma Decoction), drinking three cups daily, and continue for five days until cured. (From Xia Ziyi's *Qiji Fang*)
The abdomen feels hard as iron or stone, water oozes from the umbilicus, and soon transforms into a sensation of insects crawling around the entire body. The itching is unbearable, and brushing or sweeping cannot remove it. Bathe in a strong decoction of Cangzhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), and simultaneously take a small amount of Cangzhu powder mixed with Shexiang (Moschus) internally. (From Xia Ziyi's *Qiji Fang*)
There are cases where a person lying down feels that there is another body outside their own, identical in appearance but silent. This occurs because when a person sleeps, the Hun (Ethereal Soul) returns to the Liver. This disease arises from Liver deficiency allowing pathogenic factors to invade, causing the Hun to fail to return to its residence, named "Li Hun" (Separated Soul). Use Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Longchi (Draconis Os), and Chifuling (Poria Cocos with Red Cortex), each one qian, add one cup of water, and decoct until half a cup remains. Mix in Feiguo Zhusha (Prepared Cinnabar) one qian, and take before sleep. Take once per night; after three nights, the true self will feel refreshed, and the false phantom will dissolve. Another account states: one may feel that their original body has become two people walking and lying side by side, visible not only during sleep. If Longchi is unavailable, use only the other three herbs in a strong decoction, drink during the day, and it is not limited to bedtime administration. (From Xia Ziyi's *Qiji Fang*)
In some cases, the hands and feet suddenly grow abnormally, producing inverted fleshy spines sharp as awls, causing unbearable pain. Consuming Kuicai (Malva verticillata leaves) cures this. (From Xia Ziyi's *Qiji Fang*)
Suddenly, the skin beneath the whole body churns turbulently like waves, causing unbearable itching. Scratching draws blood, yet the symptom persists, termed "Qi Ben" (Rushing Qi). Use Kuzhang (Polygoni Cuspidati Rhizoma et Radix), Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Qingyan (Natrii Chloridum), and Xixin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma), each one liang, as a single dose. Decoct in water, drink slowly until finished to achieve cure. (Note: Kuzhang is also known as Huzhang; Ban Zhang; Suan Zhang. Its stem resembles Polygonum orientale, leaves are round like apricot leaves, branches are yellow like willow, flowers resemble chrysanthemums, and color resembles peach blossoms. There is another plant called Ban Zhang whose root resembles a human head; although sharing the name, it is a different species and must not be confused.) (From Xia Ziyi's *Qiji Fang*)
Chills and fever persist without cessation. After several days, the limbs become stiff, producing a sound like bells or chimes when struck, and the body gradually emaciates. Use Zhuyu (Corni Fructus) and Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix) in equal proportions, decoct in water, and drink to achieve cure. (From Xia Ziyi's *Qiji Fang*)
