《黄帝素问》奇病论∶帝曰∶人生有病癫疾者，病名谓何？安所得之？歧伯曰∶病名为胎病。此得之在母腹
中，时母有所大惊，气上而不下，精气并居，故令子发为癫也。
《巢氏病源》∶痫者，小儿病也。十岁以上为癫，十岁以下为痫。其发之状，或口眼相引而目睛上摇，或
手足掣 ，或背脊强直，或颈项反折。诸方说痫，名证不同，大体其发之源皆因三种。三种者，风痫、惊痫、
食痫是也。
《圣惠》论∶夫小儿癫痫者，由风邪、热毒伤于手少阴之经故也。心为帝王，神之所舍，其脏坚固不受外邪。
若风热蕴积于心，则令恍惚不安，精神离散，荣卫气乱，阴阳相并，故发癫痫也。又云∶小儿在胎之时，其母
卒有大惊，精气并居，则令子癫痫也。
张涣论∶小儿五、七岁至十岁以上发痫者，若精神恍惚不定，阴阳相干，霍乱之类，病乃名癫疾。

*Huangdi Suswen* (Yellow Emperor's Plain Questions), Chapter on Rare Diseases: The Yellow Emperor asked, "When a person suffers from epilepsy (dianji, 癫疾), what is the name of this disease? How is it acquired?" Qibo replied, "This disease is called 'fetal disease' (taibing, 胎病). It originates in the womb. At that time, the mother experienced a great fright, causing Qi to ascend but not descend, and Essence and Qi gathered together, thus causing the child to develop epilepsy."
*Zhubing Yuanhou Lun* (Source Book of All Diseases and Symptoms): Epilepsy (xianbing, 痫病) is a disease of children. Those over ten years old are diagnosed with dian (癫), and those under ten years old are diagnosed with xian (痫). During an attack, symptoms may include deviation of the mouth and eyes with upward rolling of the eyeballs, twitching or convulsions of the hands and feet, stiffness of the back, or opisthotonos (neck bending backward). Various texts describe different names and syndromes for epilepsy, but generally, the root cause falls into three categories: wind epilepsy (fengxian, 风痫), fright epilepsy (jingxian, 惊痫), and food epilepsy (shixian, 食痫).
*Tai Ping Sheng Hui Fang* (Taiping Holy Benefit Formulary) discusses: Pediatric epilepsy arises because wind pathogens and heat toxins injure the Hand-Shaoyin Heart Meridian. The Heart is the sovereign organ, the residence of the Spirit (Shen, 神), and its viscera are solid and resistant to external pathogens. If wind-heat accumulates in the Heart, it causes mental confusion and restlessness, dispersion of spirit, disorder of Ying and Wei Qi, and conflict between Yin and Yang, thereby triggering epilepsy. It also states: If the mother suffers a sudden great fright while the child is in the womb, the gathering of Essence and Qi will cause the child to develop epilepsy.
Zhang Huan discusses: When children aged five to seven up to over ten develop epilepsy, if they exhibit mental confusion and instability, with interference between Yin and Yang resembling cholera-like symptoms, this disease is named dian (癫).
*Luxin Jing* (Classic of the Cranial Fontanelle) treats epilepsy in children from one year old to adulthood, which occurs at any time, accompanied by foaming at the mouth and dribbling or difficult urination, with the Twenty-Two Tiger Eye Pill (Ershierwei Huqing Wan, 二十二味虎睛丸):
Tiger Eyes (Huqing, 虎睛) (One pair, left eye is better, dried in sun, soaked in wine until yellow) Pearl (Zhenzhu, 真珠) Beehive (Fengfang, 蜂房) (Each 3 qian) Ephedra Herb (Mahuang, 麻黄) (2 fen, nodes removed) Uncaria Ramulus (Gouteng, 钩藤) (3 fen) Iron Essence (Tiejing, 铁精) Ixia Rhizome (Fang Kui, 防葵) Rhubarb Root (Dahuang, 大黄) Scutellaria Root (Zi Qin, 子芩) Dragon Tooth (Longchi, 龙齿) Silver Flakes (Yinxie, 银屑) Gardenia Seed (Zhizi Ren, 栀子仁) Notopterygium Rhizome (Qianghuo, 羌活) (Each 4 fen) Bupleurum Root (Chaihu, 柴胡) Cimicifuga Rhizome (Shengma, 升麻) Dictamnus Root Bark (Baixianpi, 白藓皮) Alisma Seed (Leiwan, 雷丸) (Burned until red) Ginseng Root (Renshen, 人参) (Each 3 fen) Asarum Root (Xixin, 细辛) (1.5 fen) Snake Skin (Shepi, 蛇皮) (5 cun, roasted) Gypsum Fibrosum (Shigao, 石膏) (5 fen) Cicada Slough (Zhechan, 蚱蝉) (4 pieces, wings and feet removed, roasted)
Grind all ingredients into powder, mix thoroughly, and form pills with refined honey. For children aged four or five, administer five pills the size of a red bean, twice daily. For older children, administer ten pills with rice water. Avoid raw, cold, and greasy foods.
*Waitai Miyao* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold for Emergencies) cites *Gujin Luyan* to treat five types of epilepsy: Cow epilepsy barks like a cow, horse epilepsy neighs like a horse, dog epilepsy barks like a dog, sheep epilepsy bleats like a sheep, chicken epilepsy crows like a chicken. In these five types of epilepsy, the zang-fu organs influence each other, excessive Qi rises causing coldness, loss of consciousness, rapid breathing, convulsions, and foaming at the mouth; recovery takes a long time. Realgar Pill (Xionghuang Wan, 雄黄丸) (*Qianjin Yaofang* calls it Xiongci Wan, 雄雌丸):
Realgar (Xionghuang, 雄黄) (Ground) Orpiment (Xihuang, 雌黄) (One version omits this; another uses 1 liang) Pearl (Zhenzhu, 真珠) (Powdered) Mercury (Shuiyin, 水银) (Each 1 liang, calcined. *Qianjin Yaofang* uses 8 fen for mercury) Lead Tetroxide (Qiandan, 铅丹) (2 liang, calcined to powder. *Qianjin Yaofang* identifies this ingredient as lead) Cinnabar (Dansha, 丹砂) (0.5 liang, ground. *Qianjin Yaofang* uses 2 liang)
Pound the six ingredients together, mix with honey, and pound thirty thousand times to form pills. Take before meals, three pills the size of a broad bean, twice daily. This also cures fright epilepsy effectively. (Same as *Qianjin Yaofang* and *Fan Wang*; for children, three pills the size of a small bean. Avoid raw meat and blood products.)
*Tai Ping Sheng Hui Fang* treats pediatric heart accumulation of heat causing intermittent epilepsy, vomiting saliva, and muffled sounds, with the Iron Powder Pill (Tiefen Wan, 铁粉丸):

Pound the ingredients, sieve into powder, and grind uniformly. Mix with refined honey to form pills the size of mung beans. Each dose: dissolve five pills in bamboo sap (Zhuli, 竹沥) and take. Adjust dosage according to the child's age and condition.

Leave exposed to the earth overnight to eliminate fire toxicity, then grind extremely fine. Mix with millet rice paste to form pills the size of mung beans.

Nourish with gentle heat for seven days, ensuring the lead remains exposed enough for chopsticks to pierce it. After seven days, remove the lead, apply intense heat, cool, and grind finely in a mortar. Place in an oil-permeable mortar, cover completely with sodium nitrate (Mayaciming, 马牙硝) powder, and steam in a rice steamer for the duration of cooking a meal until the cinnabar liquefies.
