Mr. Mao believes that if an infant cries continuously within sixty days after birth, or continues to cry beyond one hundred days, this is a sign of Jing-Shan (Startle Hernia). Consequently, crying may cause the external kidneys (testicles) to retract upward; pain intensifies upon exposure to yin/cold conditions, accompanied by stiffness of the four limbs and incessant crying until dawn. When these symptoms first appear with crying, one must immediately examine the external kidneys: it may be that one testicle is present while the other is absent, or both are absent. If one is absent, administer two pills of Taonuan Wan (Peach Slave Pill); if both are absent, administer four pills of Taonuan Wan. Subsequently, apply Tieju San (Iron Mortar Powder, see formulas in this section) to the external kidneys, and regularly administer Zhusha Gao (Cinnabar Ointment, see formula in Startle Accumulation section) and Yunqi San (Harmonizing Qi Powder, see formula in Stomach Qi Disharmony section). The condition will heal. If the face appears black, breath is scanty, the neck is soft/weak, and the nose and mouth are dry with a blackish hue, these are signs of death. For female infants, examine the area above the feet between the legs, which corresponds to the location of the external kidneys.
Mr. Mao’s Formula for Taonuan Wan to Treat Infant External Kidney Retraction:
Taonuan (Dried Peaches on Branches, 27 pieces, referring to peaches dried on the branch without falling off) Taojiao (Peach Gum) Ruxiang (Frankincense, separately ground, each 2 qian) Kuhuizi (Bitter Calabash Seeds) Shanzhizi (Cornus Officinalis Fruit, each 27 pieces)
Grind the above into powder. For each dose, mix with water drops to form pills the size of a small bead. If the retraction persists until the fourth watch of the night (approx. 1-3 AM), administer 5 to 7 pills using decoction of Schizonepeta and Scallion as the vehicle.
Mr. Mao’s Formula for Tieju San to Apply to Umbilicus for Infant Hernia and Treat External Kidney Retraction:
Tiannanxing (Arisaema Cum Bile) Tieyanfen (Iron Flame Powder) Ganju (Chrysanthemum Morifolium) Caowu (Aconitum Carmichaelii Deixroot, each 2 qian)
Grind the above into powder. For each dose, take two large qian of powder, mix with juice from Scallion to form a paste, apply to the genital area, and cover with paper to fix it.
"Ji Family Transmission" Formula for Taonuan San to Treat Retracted Testicles:
Gan Tao (Dried Peach, 1 he, referring to peaches naturally dried on the branch) Boshang Huhuang (Imported Sulfur) Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix, each 2 qian)
Grind the above ingredients into powder. Administer 1 qian with Muxiang Decoction.
