（五痫异治）凡五门
《巢氏病源》∶小儿风痫者，由乳养失理，血气不和，风邪所中。或衣浓汗出，腠理开张，（《圣惠》于此又云∶当
风解脱。）风因而入。如得之时，先屈指如数乃发，掣缩是也，当与豚心汤。又，病先身热，螈 ，惊啼唤而后发（《圣
惠》以唤字为笑字。）痫。脉浮者为阳痫，内在六腑，外在肌肤，犹得易治。病先身冷，不惊螈不啼唤，乃成病。
（《圣惠》亦以唤字为笑字。）发时脉沉者为阴痫，内在五脏，外在骨髓，极者难治。病发时身软，时醒者谓之痫；身强
直，反张如尸，不时醒者谓之痉。诊其心脉满大，痫螈筋挛。肝脉小急，亦痫螈筋挛。尺寸脉俱浮，直上直下，此
为督脉，必腰背强直，不得俯仰。小儿风痫，三部脉紧急，其痫可治。小儿脉多似雀 。（《圣惠》云∶雀啄。）要以三
部脉为主，若紧者必风痫。凡诸痫发，手足掣缩，慎勿持捉之，捉之则令曲戾不随也。

(Treatment of the Five Epilepsies Differently) In Total, Five Categories
*Chao Shi Bing Yuan (Source of Diseases by Chao Yuanfang)*: Pediatric wind epilepsy arises from improper nursing and rearing, leading to disharmony of blood and qi, allowing wind pathogen to strike. It may occur because clothing is too thick causing sweating, opening the couli (skin pores and interstices). (*Sheng Hui Fang* adds here: one should avoid undressing in a draft.) The wind pathogen then enters. At the onset, the child first curls fingers as if counting, followed by twitching and contraction; this is wind epilepsy, and one should administer Zhu Xin Tang (Pig Heart Decoction). Additionally, if the illness begins with body heat, convulsions, and startled crying before the attack, it is called Yang Epilepsy. (*Sheng Hui Fang* interprets "crying" as "laughing"). A floating pulse indicates Yang Epilepsy; the pathology is internal within the Six Fu Organs and external on the skin and muscles, making it relatively easy to treat. If the illness begins with a cold body, without convulsions or startled crying, before developing into the disease, it is Yin Epilepsy. (*Sheng Hui Fang* also interprets "crying" as "laughing"). A deep pulse at onset indicates Yin Epilepsy; the pathology is internal within the Five Zang Organs and external in the bone marrow, and severe cases are difficult to treat. During an attack, if the body is flaccid and the child occasionally regains consciousness, it is called Epilepsy; if the body is rigid, arched backward like a corpse, and does not regain consciousness intermittently, it is called Spasm. Palpating a full and large heart pulse indicates epilepsy with convulsions and tendon spasms. A small and urgent liver pulse also indicates epilepsy with convulsions and tendon spasms. If the cun, guan, and chi pulses are all floating, rising and falling straightly, this indicates Du Mai (Governing Vessel) involvement, inevitably resulting in rigidity of the waist and back, preventing flexion and extension. For pediatric wind epilepsy, if the three pulse positions are tight/urgent, the epilepsy is treatable. Children's pulses often resemble the pecking motion of a sparrow. (*Sheng Hui Fang* says: Sparrow-pecking pulse). Diagnosis must focus on the three pulse positions; if the pulse is tight, it is definitely wind epilepsy. Whenever any type of epilepsy attacks, causing hand and foot convulsions, do not forcibly restrain them, as doing so will cause deformity and loss of movement.
*Qian Jin Fang (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold)* treats pediatric wind epilepsy, accumulation, abdominal pain, twisting movements, and twenty-five types of epilepsy. Da Huang Tang (Rhubarb Decoction):
Da Huang (Rhubarb Root and Rhizome), Ren Shen (Ginseng Root), Xi Xin (Asarum Root), Gan Jiang (Dried Ginger), Dang Gui (Angelica Sinensis Root), Gan Pi (Willow Bark - *Ying Ru Fang* uses Gan Cao/Licorice Root). (Each 3 zhu).
The above six herbs are chopped, boiled in one sheng of water to yield four ge, administered in doses the size of a jujube pit, three times daily.
*Qian Jin Fang* treats pediatric wind epilepsy with phlegm in the chest. Bai Yang Xian Tang (Shepherd's Purse Decoction):
Bai Yang Xian (Shepherd's Purse Herb), Zha Chan (Cicada Slough), Da Huang (Rhubarb Root and Rhizome), Gan Cao (Licorice Root, honey-fried), Gou Teng Pi (Uncaria Stem Bark), Xi Xin (Asarum Root). (Each 2 zhu, except Zha Chan which is 2 pieces, Da Huang which is 4 zhu, and Niu Huang which is 4 beans-sized portions, separately ground). She Tui Pi (Snake Slough, 1 cun).
The above eight herbs are chopped, boiled in two and a half sheng of water to yield one sheng and two ge, divided into five doses, taken three times daily. If the epilepsy persists after finishing the dose, add one more zhu each of Da Huang and Gou Teng, soak the herbs in water for half a day, then boil. (This formula's dosage differs slightly from *Sheng Hui Fang*).
*Tu Jing (Illustrated Classic)* records: *Qie Zhong Fang (Prescriptions in the Box)* treats pediatric wind epilepsy.
Take five scorpions, cut off the top of two large pomegranates and remove the seeds to form a vessel-like container. Place the scorpions inside, cover with the top. Seal with mud mixed with paper fibers. Roast over a mild fire until dry; gradually increase the fire until red hot. Leave for a long time, then remove from fire. After cooling, remove the mud, take the charred interior, and grind finely. Mix with milk and administer half a qian bi (measure) orally to stop the seizure. For older children, mix the powder with Fang Feng Tang (Saposhnikovia Decoction) and administer.
*Wai Tai Mi Yao (Important Prescriptions of the Outer Cabinet)* records: *Guang Ji Fang (Universal Aid Prescriptions)* treats adult and pediatric wind epilepsy with sudden collapse, vomiting froth, and unconsciousness.
Ma Huang (Ephedra Stem, de-nodeled), Da Huang (Rhubarb Root and Rhizome), Mu Li (Oyster Shell, calcined), Huang Qin (Scutellaria Root). (Each 4 liang).

Ren Shen (Ginseng Root), Gui Xin (Cinnamon Twig Heart). (Each 2 liang). She Tui Pi (Snake Slough, 1 liang, fried). Long Chi (Dragon Teeth, 6 liang, ground). Gan Cao (Licorice Root, 3 liang, fried).
The above fifteen herbs are crushed into a powder. Take 8 liang of the powder, place in a thin silk bag, boil in one sheng and five ge of water to yield seven ge, strain, and take in one dose, twice daily.
Another method: Boil one fang cun bi of powder in two sheng of water to yield one sheng, strain, and take. Infants under 100 days take one ge; those with excess heat take twice daily; taking it once every three to five days is also acceptable. The original formula lacks Ma Huang, Long Chi, and She Tui Pi. Avoid Hai Zao (Sargassum), Song Cai (Chinese Cabbage), raw Cong (Scallion), hot noodles, Qiao Mai (Buckwheat), pork, Suan (Garlic), greasy, and sticky foods.

Children aged 3-4 years take two ge per dose; aged 5-6 years take two and a half ge per dose, twice daily, increasing gradually. If the child has constipation, add Da Huang (Rhubarb Root and Rhizome) 10 fen. Avoid hot noodles, roasted meat, fish, garlic, sticky foods, greasy foods, and cold water.
