[Wugan Baotong Wan] Treats infants and children who do not distinguish between hot and cold in their diet, prefer fatty and greasy foods, indulge in sweet and salty tastes, leading to disharmony of the Zang-Fu organs and the development of Gan syndrome (childhood malnutrition syndrome).
Herbs: Qingdai (Indigo Naturalis), Kuanlian Genpi (Celtis Sinensis Root Bark), Yeming Sha (Feces Vespertilionis), Wubeizi (Galla Chinensis), Lvhui (Aloe), Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma), Longdancao (Gentianae Radix), Baiwuyi (Xanthoceras Seed), Ganchan (Dry Bufo Skin) (each 1 fen).

The above ingredients are made into pills using a paste from cooked millet, sized like hemp seeds. For one-year-old children, administer three pills at any time, taken with rice water, three times a day. Avoid pork.
[Da Lvhui Wan] Treats Gan syndrome by expelling parasites, harmonizing the Stomach, and stopping diarrhea.

Commentary: The preceding formula (Wugan Baotong Wan) is effective for Liver and Spleen Gan accumulation, food stagnation fever, cloudiness in the eyes, or neck lymph node tuberculosis caused by Gan heat, sores inside the ears, emaciation, fever with thirst, poor appetite, abdominal distension, gum erosion and loss, cheek and jaw rot, sores on the scrotum and penis, or pain in the chest, hypochondrium, and lower abdomen. Replacing Qingpi with Longdancao and omitting Shexiang yields even better results.
[Lvhui Wan] (From *Zeng Shi Chan Lun*) Mainly treats Wugan (Five Types of Gan), Balix (Eight Types of Dysentery), roundworms, as well as weakness of the Zang-Fu organs, emaciation, brittle and sparse hair, abdominal distension with visible veins, turbid white urine, extreme thirst, frequent watery diarrhea, difficulty digesting grains, body-wide sores and scabies, and dry complexion.

For the above ingredients, except for Shijunzi Rou which must be thinly sliced and pounded extremely finely in a mortar, wrap the Nanmuxiang and the other four herbs in wet flour and bake until fragrant and cooked. Remove, cool on the ground, discard the flour, chop, and bake. Mix with Zaizi Rou and Lvhui into a fine powder. Return to the mortar and pound evenly with Shijunzi Rou. Make pills using refined honey, sized like hemp seeds. Take 30-55 pills per dose, delivered with warm rice water. Must be taken on an empty stomach. For smaller children, dissolve the pills in rice water before administration.

Cool, then grind together with Binglang and Maiya into a fine powder. Make pills using a starch paste boiled in water, sized like hemp seeds. Take 30-50 or 70 pills per dose, delivered with warm clear rice water at any time, or on an empty stomach. For smaller children, make pills sized like millet grains; the dosage method remains the same.

Grind these thirteen ingredients finely and sift into powder. Then place all back into a mortar and grind thoroughly until uniform. Take the juice of one porcine bile, boil it, soak a small amount of steamed cake dough, and make pills sized like yellow millet. Dry in the sun, store in porcelain vessels, seal tightly, and take as needed. Take two pills per dose, administered according to the following decoctions based on symptoms: For infantile convulsions with upward gaze (Tendiao), hand and foot spasms, and various symptoms, take one pill, dissolve in warm water, drip into the nose to induce sneezing 3-5 times; the eyes will naturally lower and spasms will stop. Then take two more pills with Bohe Tang (Mint Decoction). For chronic Wugan with thin limbs, protruding abdomen, eyebrow loss, nail-biting, sparse hair, and exposed abdominal veins, take two pills with congee water. For Bianzheng fever, take two pills with Bohe Tang, dissolved. For chronic diarrhea and dysentery, take two pills with rice water. For chronic Gan roundworms biting the heart, take two pills with Kuanlianzi decoction.
