香白芷（择大块白色新洁者，先以棕刷去尘土，用沸汤泡洗四、五次）
为细末，炼蜜丸如弹子大。每服一丸，多用荆芥点蜡茶细嚼下，食后常服；只干嚼
下亦可，都无所忌。此药大治中风眩晕，妇人产前产后乍伤风邪，头目昏重及血风头痛，服
之令人目明。凡浴沐后服一、二粒尤佳。暴寒乍暖，神思不清，伤寒头目昏晕，并宜服之。
宣木瓜（二个，取盖去穣） 没药（二两，研） 乳香（一分，研）
上二味内木瓜中，用盖子合了，竹签定之，饭上蒸三、四次，烂，研成膏子，每服三匙
。生地黄汁半盏，无灰上酝二盏和之。用八分盏热暖化膏子服。
有人患此病，自午后发，黄昏时定。余曰∶此患必先从足起。经言十二经络各有筋，惟
足下少阴之筋自足至项。大抵筋者，肝之合也。日中至黄昏，天之阳，阳中之阴也。又曰∶
阳中之阴，肺也。自离至兑，阴旺阳弱之时。故《灵宝秘法》云∶离至干，肾气绝而肝气弱
。肝肾二脏受阴气，故发于是时。余受此方，三服而愈。
夫肾主于腰，女人肾脏系于胞络。若肾气虚弱，外感六淫，内伤七情，皆致腰痛。古方
亦有五种之说，如风腰痛，宜小续命汤加桃仁、杜仲煎服；脾胃气蔽及寒湿腰痛，宜五积散
加桃仁；如虚损及五种腰痛者，青蛾丸、神应丸（诸方并见《和剂局方》）皆可用也。如气
滞腰痛，如神保丸、黑牵牛、茴香、橘核必有功也。
Xiangbaizhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix) (Select large, white, fresh, and clean pieces; first remove dust with a brown brush, then soak and wash four to five times in boiling water.)
Grind into fine powder, mix with refined honey to form pills the size of a bullet. Take one pill per dose; it is best to chew thoroughly with Camellia sinensis var. chrysantha tea brewed with Schizonepetae Herba (Jingjie), taken after meals for regular use; chewing dry is also acceptable, with no dietary restrictions. This medicine primarily treats vertigo caused by wind-stroke (Zhongfeng), sudden exposure to wind pathogens in women before or after childbirth, heaviness and dizziness of the head and eyes, and blood-wind headache. Taking it clarifies vision. It is especially beneficial to take one or two pills after bathing. In cases of sudden cold or warmth leading to mental confusion, or dizziness of the head and eyes due to Cold Damage (Shanghan), this medicine is suitable.
Xuamuqua (Chaenomeles speciosa Fruit) (Two fruits, remove the lid and pulp) Moyao (Frankincense Resin) (two liang, grind) Ruxiang (Myrrh Resin) (one fen, grind)
Place the above two herbs inside the Chaenomeles fruit, cover with the lid, secure with bamboo pins, and steam over rice three to four times until soft. Grind into a paste. Take three spoons per dose. Mix with half a cup of juice from Rehmanniae Radix Praeparata (Shengdihuang) and two cups of unadulterated superior rice wine. Warm the mixture in a cup filled to eight-tenths capacity and dissolve the paste before taking.
A patient suffered from this condition, starting in the afternoon and resolving at dusk. I said: This ailment must originate from the feet. The classics state that each of the twelve meridians has associated sinews, but only the sinew channel of the Foot-Shaoyin Kidney meridian extends from the foot to the neck. Generally, sinews are associated with the Liver. From noon to dusk is the Yang of Heaven, specifically Yin within Yang. Furthermore, Yin within Yang corresponds to the Lung. From the Li (Wu hour, noon) to Dui (You hour, dusk) periods is when Yin is prosperous and Yang is weak. Thus, the *Lingbao Mifa* states: From Li to Qian (Xu hour, evening), Kidney Qi exhausts and Liver Qi weakens. When the Liver and Kidney organs are affected by Yin Qi, symptoms manifest at this time. I received this prescription and was cured after three doses.
The Kidney governs the waist, and in women, the Kidney is connected to the Bao Luo (uterine network). If Kidney Qi is deficient, external contraction of the Six Excesses (Liu Yin) or internal injury from the Seven Emotions can all lead to lower back pain. Ancient formulas describe five types of lower back pain. For example, for wind-induced lower back pain, Xiao Xuming Tang (Minor Rescue Life Decoction) added with Persicae Semen (Taoren) and Eucommiae Cortex (Duzhong) is appropriate; for lower back pain due to Spleen-Stomach Qi obstruction and cold-dampness, Wuji San (Five Accumulations Powder) added with Persicae Semen (Taoren) is suitable. For deficiency injuries and the five types of lower back pain, Qing'e Wan (Green Eagle Pill) and Shenyi Wan (Divine Response Pill) (all these formulas are found in the *Tai Ping Hui Min He Ji Ju Fang*) can be used. For lower back pain due to Qi stagnation, Shenbao Wan (Spirit Treasure Pill), Black Morning Glory Seed (Hei Qianniu), Fennel Seed (Huixiang), and Tangerine Seed (Juhe) will certainly be effective.
