论曰∶凡服五石散，及钟乳诸石丹药等，既瘥节度，触动多端，发动虽殊，将摄相似。
比来人遇其证，专执而治之，或取定古法，则与本性有违，或取决庸医，则昧于时候，皆为
自忤。遂推石过，深省其理，未曰合宜。每寻古医，互相晦见，直言沐浴，实未探微，寒温
适情，盖须自度，随时之义，易所通焉。故陶正白云∶昔有人服寒食散，检古法以冷水淋身
满二百罐，登时缰毙。又有取汗，乃于狭室中四角安火，须臾则殒。据兹将息。岂不由人，
追之昔事，守株何甚！今列篇章，幸择长而录用耳。寒食药得节度者，一月辄解，或二十日
解，堪温不堪寒，即已解之候也。其失节度者，或头痛欲裂，为服药食温作癖，宜急下之。
又若手脚卒患顽癖者，为犯热经久故也。
急与冷水洗，饮热清酒，进冷食即止。一法饮冷清酒亦止。
又若体上生疮，结气肿痛不得动者，为自劳太过也。宜服香豉饮法。
香豉（三升） 葱白（一虎口）
上二味，以水三升，煮三沸服之。不止，乃至三四剂，自止。
又若腰痛欲折，两目欲脱者，为热上肝膈，腰肾冷极故也。宜服黄连饮法。

又心痛如刺者，为应食不食，应洗不洗，寒热相击，气结不通，填于心中故也。宜数饮
热酒，任性多少，酒气行，经络通达，淋以冷水，又冷淹手中，搭着苦处，温复易之，须
臾解也。解后仍速与冷食，食多益善。于诸痛之中，心痛最急，宜速救之。
又若发急，遍身热如汤火，或气结不识人，时倒，口噤不开，不自觉知者，救之要以热
酒随其性灌之。卒不得下者，当打去齿灌之，咽中寒盛，酒入必还出，但灌勿止，半日许以
酒下气彻乃苏。酒卒不下者。难可救矣。
又若下痢如寒中者，为行止食饮犯热所致，宜速脱衣，冷食、冷冻饮料、冷水洗即瘥。
又若百节酸疼者，为卧处太浓，又盖覆被衣，温不脱故也。但单床薄被单衣，或以冷水
洗，勿着新衣，着故垢衣，虽冬寒常须散发受风，仍以冷石熨其衣，勿系带，若犯此，酸闷
者，急入冷水浴，勿忍病而畏冷，兼食冷饭。
又若兢颤恶寒，或发热如温疟者，为失食忍饥，失洗不行，又食臭秽故也。宜急饱冷食，
冷
又若恶食臭如死物气者，为食温作癖故也。宜急以三黄汤下之，若不下，终不瘥。
又若咽中痛，鼻中塞，清涕出者，为衣温近火故也。但速脱衣，取冷当风，以冷石熨咽
鼻当自瘥。不须洗也。
又若胸胁满，气上呕逆者，为饥而不食，药气上冲故也。速与冷水洗，食冷饭止。
又若食便吐出，不得安住者，由癖故也。宜急以甘草饮下之，不下当危人命尔。甘草饮
法。
甘草（二两，炙） 大黄（三两，别渍） 黄芩（二两）
上三味，切，以水三升，煮三两沸，去滓，分服，以利为度。
又若大便难，腹中坚如盘蛇者，为犯温积久，腹中有干粪不去故也。宜销酥蜜膏服一二
升，津润腹内即下。若不可，服大黄、朴硝等下之。
又若患淋者，为久坐温处，或乘鞍马，坐处大热，热入膀胱故也。但冷食，冷水洗，冷
石熨腹，不过一日即瘥止。
又若寒栗头掉，不自支持者，为食少，药气溢于肌肤，五脏失守，百脉摇动，与正气相
竞故也。宜强饮热酒以和其脉，强食冷食以定其脏，强行以调其关节，强洗以宣其拥滞，即
瘥。
又若小便稠数者，为热食及啖诸热饼肉之属故也。宜冷水洗腹，兼服栀子汤法。
栀子仁（二两） 甘草（炙） 芒硝（汤成下） 黄芩（各二两）
上四味，切，以水五升，煮取二升，分温二服，取利即瘥。
又若失气不可禁止者，为犯温不时洗故也。但冷水洗之即瘥。
又若遗粪不自觉者，为热气入胃，大肠不禁故也。当冷洗即瘥。
又若目痛如刺者，为热气冲肝上眼故也。但数冷食，清朝温小便洗之，不过三日即瘥止。
又若耳鸣如风声，又有汁出者，为自劳过度，阳事不节，气上耳故也。宜数饮食补之，
节禁阳事即瘥。
又若口中伤烂，舌强而燥，不得食味者，为食少谷气不足，药气积在胃管故也。宜急作
豉汤服之，豉汤法。

又若关节强直不可屈伸，可久停息，不自劳泄，药气不散，渐侵筋血故也。出力使温，
冷洗即瘥止。
又若得伤寒温疟者，为犯热故也，宜以常治药救之无咎，但勿服热药耳。其伤寒疟药等，
皆除破癖，不与寒食相妨，故通服也。凡服寒食，虽已热解而更病者，要先以寒食救之，终
不中冷。
又若饮酒不解，食不得下，乍寒乍热，不洗便热，洗之复寒，甚者数十日，轻者数日，
昼夜不得寝寐，愁悲恚怒，自惊跳悸，恍惚忘误者，为犯温积久，寝处失节，食热作药，内
热与药并行，寒热交争，虽以法救之，终不可解也。昔皇甫氏曾饵此散，每发即欲自刑，尊
亲制之，乃免斯祸，强令饮食，其热渐除。纵家有寒热药，发急皆忘，虽素聪明，发皆顽冥，
告令难喻，为兹毙者，不可胜数。遂检家兄士元救急之法，合三黄汤服之，大下便瘥止，而
录之。又若脱衣便寒，着衣便热，为脱着之间失适故也。小寒自可着，小温便可脱即止；洗

又若大便稠数，为坐久失节度将死之候也。如此难治矣。可与前大黄黄芩栀子芒硝汤下
之，当十有一生耳。可为必死之治，不可不利，致死，令人恨也！
又若人已困而脉不绝，为药气盛行于百脉，人之真气已尽，药气尚自行，故不绝，非生
气也。死后体因温如生人肌，腹中雷鸣，颜色不变，一两宿乃作死人也。
又若周体患肿，不能回转者，为久坐不行，又不饮酒，药气滞在皮肤之内，血脉不通故
也。宜饮酒，冷水洗，自劳即瘥。若不能行者，遣人扶持强行，使肢节调畅乃止。亦不得令
过度，使反发热，或反热者还当洗之。
又若食患冷不可下者，为久冷食，口中不知味故也。当作白酒糜多着苏，热食一两顿，
若小闷者，还令冷冻饮料食，即瘥止。
又若下部臭烂者，为坐荐席浓热故也。当坐冷水中，即瘥。
又若夜眠不得睡者，为食少热在内故也。服栀子汤方。

上三味，切，以水五升，煮取三升，去滓，分三服，微利，又当数进冷食，自得眠睡。
又若呕逆，咽喉中伤，清血出者，为卧温及食热故也。但饮冷水、冷石熨咽喉，即瘥。
又若药发，辄安卧不与人语者，为热盛食少，失其性故也。但与热酒，冷洗，冷食，自
劳便瘥。
又若四肢面目浮肿者，为饮食温，久不自劳力。药与正气相隔故也。但饮热温。冷食。
自劳洗浴即瘥。

宜脱衣洗浴即自瘥。
又若卒目暗无所见者，为饮食居处太温故也。但脱衣，冷洗，冷身，须臾瘥止。
又若身肉处痛，痛无常处，如游风者，为犯热所作，非风冷故也。宜冷洗，以冷石熨之
自瘥。
又若服药心闷乱者，为服温药与疾争力故也，法当大吐，如或不吐，病当至死，若吐不
绝，可食冷食饮，自然瘥也。若绝不识人，口复不开者，亦当断齿以热酒灌之。入咽吐出者，

Commentary states: For those who have taken Wushi San (Five Minerals Powder) and other mineral drugs such as Zhongru Shi (Certainty Milk Stone), although the illness has subsided and medication has been regulated, there are numerous triggering factors. While the manifestations of onset vary, the methods of care and regulation are similar.
Recently, people encountering these syndromes have treated them rigidly. Some adhere strictly to ancient methods, which may contradict the patient's constitution; others rely on mediocre physicians, missing the appropriate timing. Both approaches lead to self-harm. Blaming the minerals is misguided; one must deeply reflect on the principles. Merely stating "bathing" does not explore the subtleties. Regulating cold and warmth to suit one's feelings requires self-assessment. The principle of adapting to circumstances is easily understood. Tao Hongjing said: In the past, someone took Hanshi San (Cold Food Powder) and followed ancient laws by pouring two hundred jars of cold water over their body, resulting in immediate rigidity and death. Another sought to induce sweating by placing fires in the four corners of a narrow room, leading to death shortly after. Regarding such care, is it not due to human error? Clinging to past events and old methods is excessive. Now, chapters are listed for selection and adoption of beneficial practices.
Those who take Hanshi San with proper regulation will recover within a month or twenty days. The ability to tolerate warmth but not cold indicates recovery. Those who lose regulation may suffer from splitting headaches due to warm food and medicine causing accumulation (Pi). Urgent purgation is required. If stubborn accumulations suddenly appear in the hands and feet due to prolonged heat exposure, wash immediately with cold water, drink hot clear wine, and eat cold food to stop. Alternatively, drinking cold clear wine also works.
If sores appear on the body with qi stagnation, swelling, pain, and immobility due to excessive labor, Xiangchi Yin (Fermented Soybean Decoction) is suitable.
Xiangchi (Three Sheng) Congbai (Green Onion White, a tiger's mouthful)
Boil these two ingredients in three Sheng of water for three boils and take. If symptoms persist, take up to three or four doses until they cease.
If lower back pain feels like breaking and eyes feel like popping out due to heat rushing to the Liver and Diaphragm while the Waist and Kidneys are extremely cold, Huanglian Yin (Coptis Decoction) is suitable.
Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma) Gancao (Licorice Root, roasted, each 1 Liang) Weirui (Polygonati Rhizoma, 2 Liang)
Chop the three ingredients, boil in three Sheng of water to obtain one Sheng, remove dregs, add Puxiao (Mirabilite, 1 Liang), and take at once. Stop when mild diarrhea occurs.
If dizzy and feeling like falling due to thick clothing trapping heat, wash the head with cold water; recovery is swift.
If foot pain feels like breaking due to sitting in warm places, walk alone on a single bed and wash with cold water to stop.
If abdominal distension feels like bursting due to long-term sitting in heat, wearing warm clothes, and improper diet, eat cold food, wash with cold water, expose to wind for cooling, and recover quickly.
If heart pain feels like stabbing due to missed meals, missed bathing, clashing of cold and heat, qi stagnation blocking the chest, drink hot wine frequently according to tolerance. As the wine circulates and meridians open, wash with cold water and soak hands in cold water, applying to the painful area. Replace when warm. Recovery is swift. After recovery, quickly consume cold food; more is better. Among pains, heart pain is most urgent and requires rapid treatment.
If sudden onset causes whole-body heat like boiling water, qi stagnation with unconsciousness, occasional falls, locked jaw, and loss of awareness, treat by forcing hot wine down the throat. If unable to swallow, remove teeth and force wine in. If cold qi in the throat rejects the wine, continue forcing it. After half a day, when qi descends, the patient revives. If wine cannot enter, rescue is difficult.
If dysentery resembles cold invasion due to movement, diet, and drink triggering heat, remove clothes quickly, eat cold food, drink frozen beverages, and wash with cold water to recover.
If all joints ache due to thick bedding and warm clothing that is not removed, use a single bed, thin quilt, and single garment. Wash with cold water. Do not wear new clothes; wear old, dirty ones. Even in winter cold, keep hair loose to receive wind. Use cold stones to iron clothes. Do not tie belts. If acid and stifling sensations occur, bathe in cold water immediately. Do not endure pain out of fear of cold. Eat cold rice.
If trembling and aversion to cold, or fever resembling Warm Malaria, occur due to dietary irregularity, hunger, lack of bathing/exercise, and eating spoiled food, urgently eat full portions of cold food. Cold... [Text cuts off here in source, inferred continuation based on context: ...wash with cold water].
If aversion to food smells like dead matter due to warm food causing accumulation, urgently purge with Sanhuang Tang (Three Yellows Decoction). If not purged, recovery is impossible.
If sore throat, nasal congestion, and clear runny nose occur due to warm clothing near fire, remove clothes quickly, seek coolness in the wind, and apply cold stones to the throat and nose. Washing is unnecessary.
If chest and hypochondrium are full with upward qi and vomiting due to hunger without eating and medicinal qi rushing up, wash with cold water and eat cold rice to stop.
If food is vomited immediately and restlessness persists due to accumulation, urgently purge with Gancao Yin (Licorice Decoction). Failure to purge endangers life.
Gancao Yin Method:
Gancao (Licorice Root, roasted, 2 Liang) Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, 3 Liang, soaked separately) Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, 2 Liang)
Chop the three ingredients, boil in three Sheng of water for two or three boils, remove dregs, and divide into doses. Stop when bowel movements occur.
If difficulty defecating and abdomen hard like a coiled snake occur due to long-term heat accumulation and dry feces, consume Su Mi Gao (Butter and Honey Paste) one to two Sheng to moisten the abdomen and promote evacuation. If ineffective, use Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) and Puxiao (Mirabilite) to purge.
If strangury occurs due to sitting in warm places or riding horses causing heat to enter the Bladder, eat cold food, wash with cold water, and apply cold stones to the abdomen. Recovery occurs within a day.
If chills and head shaking with inability to support oneself occur due to insufficient food, medicinal qi overflowing into skin and muscles, Five Zang organs losing control, and hundred vessels shaking against healthy qi, force hot wine to harmonize vessels, force cold food to settle organs, force walking to regulate joints, and force bathing to unblock stagnation. Recovery follows.
If urine is thick and frequent due to eating hot foods and meats, wash the abdomen with cold water and take Zhizi Tang (Gardenia Decoction).
Zhizi Ren (Gardeniae Fructus, 2 Liang) Gancao (Licorice Root, roasted) Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas, added when decoction is ready) Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, each 2 Liang)
Chop the four ingredients, boil in five Sheng of water to obtain two Sheng, divide into two warm doses. Recovery occurs with mild purgation.
If flatulence is uncontrollable due to failing to wash after heat exposure, washing with cold water cures it.
If involuntary defecation occurs due to heat entering the Stomach and Large Intestine losing control, cold washing cures it.
If eye pain feels like stabbing due to heat rushing to the Liver and rising to the eyes, eat cold food frequently and wash with warm urine in the morning. Recovery occurs within three days.
If tinnitus sounds like wind and discharge occurs due to excessive labor and unregulated sexual activity causing qi to rise to the ears, nourish with frequent diet and regulate sexual activity to recover.
If oral ulcers, stiff and dry tongue, and loss of taste occur due to insufficient grain qi and medicinal qi accumulating in the stomach tube, urgently make Chi Tang (Fermented Soybean Decoction).
Xiangchi (Fermented Soybean, 2 Sheng) Weirui (Polygonati Rhizoma) Gancao (Licorice Root, roasted, each 2 Liang) Maidong (Ophiopogonis Radix, de-heartened) Xiaobo (Platycladi Cacumen, each 3 Liang)
Chop the five ingredients, boil in six Sheng of water to obtain two Sheng, divide into three warm doses. Taking all at once is better. Re-brew if necessary.
If joint stiffness prevents flexion and extension due to prolonged rest, lack of labor, stagnant medicinal qi invading sinews and blood, exert effort to generate warmth and wash with cold water to recover.
If Wind-Cold or Warm Malaria occurs due to heat exposure, treat with standard remedies without using hot medicines. These formulas break up accumulations and do not conflict with Hanshi San, so they can be used generally. For those taking Hanshi San who develop new illnesses after heat resolves, first treat with cold-regulating methods to avoid cold injury.
If alcohol intoxication persists, food cannot go down, alternating cold and heat occur, washing brings heat then cold, lasting days to months, insomnia, sorrow, anger, palpitations, confusion, and forgetfulness result from long-term heat exposure, irregular living, eating hot medicinal foods, internal heat clashing with medicine, and cold-heat struggle. Even following laws fails. Previously, Huangfu Shi took this powder and attempted suicide upon each flare-up. Relatives restrained him, forced him to eat and drink, and his heat gradually subsided. Even with cold/hot medicines at home, patients forget them during flares. Though usually intelligent, they become dull during flares, difficult to reason with. Many die from this. Thus, I recorded my elder brother Shi Yuan's emergency method: combine Sanhuang Tang (Three Yellows Decoction) and take it. Profuse purgation leads to recovery.
If removing clothes causes cold and putting them on causes heat due to imbalance in dressing, dress slightly if cold, undress slightly if warm. Washing brings clear recovery. Avoiding necessary washing leads to disease.
If gums swell, lips rot, teeth loosen and hurt, and masseter locks due to sitting in heat, treat promptly. Open mouth facing wind to let cold air enter throat, rinse with cold water to recover.
If pulse is surging and solid, or absent/weak like a dying pulse, or fine, rapid, wiry, and fast, indicating various violations, no doctor fails to recognize this pulse. Heat excess causes wiry/fast pulse; accumulation causes surging/solid pulse; acute pain causes absent pulse. Generally, Hanshi San heat presents this way. If asymptomatic, it is not fatal. Strict regulation is key.
If stool is thick and frequent due to prolonged sitting and loss of regulation, it signals impending death. This is difficult to treat. Purge with the previous Dahuang, Huangqin, Zhizi, Mangxiao Decoction. One in ten might survive. This is a desperate measure; failure to act leads to death and regret.
If the patient is exhausted but pulse remains, it is because medicinal qi pervades the hundred vessels while true qi is exhausted. The medicinal qi continues moving, so the pulse is not absent; this is not vital qi. After death, the body remains warm like a living person's muscle, intestines rumble, color does not change, and death occurs after one or two nights.
If whole-body swelling prevents turning due to prolonged sitting, lack of exercise, and lack of alcohol consumption, medicinal qi stagnates in the skin and blood vessels are blocked. Drink alcohol, wash with cold water, and exercise lightly to recover. If unable to walk, have others support forced movement until joints are smooth. Do not overexert to avoid rebound heat; if heat rebounds, wash again.
If cold food cannot be digested due to long-term cold food intake and loss of taste, make Baijiu Mi (White Wine Porridge) with lots of butter, eat hot for one or two meals. If slightly stifled, consume frozen beverages to recover.
If lower body odor and rot occur due to sitting on hot mats, sit in cold water to recover.
If insomnia at night occurs due to insufficient food and internal heat, take Zhizi Tang Formula.
Zhizi Ren (Gardeniae Fructus, 14 pieces) Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, 3 Liang) Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix, 2 Liang)
Chop the three ingredients, boil in five Sheng of water to obtain three Sheng, remove dregs, divide into three doses. Mild purgation occurs. Eat cold food frequently to achieve sleep naturally.
If vomiting and retching with throat injury and clear blood occur due to sleeping in warmth and eating hot food, drink cold water and apply cold stones to the throat to recover.
If drug eruption causes lying still and silence due to heat excess and insufficient food disrupting nature, give hot wine, cold wash, cold food, and light exercise to recover.
If limbs and face swell due to warm diet and lack of labor, separating medicine from healthy qi, drink hot/warm liquids, eat cold food, and exercise/bathe to recover.
If breath smells like hatching eggs due to warm clothing, or scrotum odors and rots due to sitting in heat, enter cold water or undress and bathe to recover.
If sudden blindness occurs due to too-warm diet and dwelling, undress, cold wash, and cool the body to recover quickly.
If flesh pain wanders like roaming wind due to heat exposure rather than wind-cold, cold wash and apply cold stones to recover.
If heart stifling and confusion occur after taking medicine due to warm medicine fighting the disease, induce severe vomiting. If vomiting fails, death ensues. If vomiting continues, eat/drink cold food to recover. If unconscious and jaw locked, remove teeth and force hot wine. If vomited out, repeat.
If excessive sleepiness occurs due to prolonged sitting in heat/stuffiness, cold wash and cold food cure it.
If skin is hard as stone and immobile due to hot food, warm sleeping causing accumulation, Five Zang blockage, and blood vessel obstruction, urgently purge with the previous Sanhuang Tang (Three Yellows Decoction). Eat cold food, drink hot wine, and exercise to recover.
If arm and leg spasms and pain occur due to prolonged sitting/sleeping in warmth, lack of movement, and qi entering Lung, Spleen, and Stomach, frequently dip two cloth towels in cold water and apply. Replace when warm. Recovery occurs within three days.
If back and abdomen feel hot in patches like hand/cup/disk size, apply cold stones wherever needed.
If sores grow between toes due to warm shoes/socks, walk on cold ground and wash feet with cold water to recover.
For mouth heat, pain, and stifling:
Sheng Ji Zi (Raw Chicken Egg, 5 pieces)
Take all at once for immediate cure.
If alternating cold and heat last months, shouting with open mouth, eyes looking high, spirit disconnected, and pouring over 100 stones of water daily fails, it is due to inability to exercise, drinking cold wine, and eating warm food. Like an ice-person whose heart grows colder despite cold treatment, qi freezes. Heat ironing and hot soup melt ice and disperse qi, relieving the ice-person. Similarly, if drug heat gathers in the heart causing chills, give hot wine quickly. When cold resolves and qi flows, wine warms limbs and body. Then wash with three Dou of cold water for complete recovery.
If qi cuts off, unconsciousness, occasional falls, locked jaw, and unawareness require bystander rescue. Hot wine is essential. If unable to swallow, remove teeth and force hot wine. If rejected, continue forcing. Insert again if expelled.
To resolve Hanshi San eruption with headache, heart pain, abdominal pain, chest/hypochondrium fullness, cold/heat, cold limbs, locked jaw, oral ulcers, red eyes, dry retching, aversion to food/vomiting, delirium, disconnection, or qi rushing up threatening life, take Qianhu Tang (Peucedani Radix Decoction) for purgation and cure.

However, given 'Sanhuang' context, sometimes distinct. Let's stick to literal Qi Ni. WHO term for Qi Ni is often Codonopsis Radix or Platycodonis Radix. Given 'Ban Jin', likely Codonopsis. Let's use Codonopsis Radix (Dangshen) or Platycodonis Radix (Jiegeng). Historical 'Qi Ni' usually refers to Codonopsis. I will use Codonopsis Radix.)
