*Shenghui Fang* (Sanitary Formulas of the Holy Emperor) suggests that allowing infants to sit too early exposes them to external wind-cold invading the spine. Wind pathogenic factors reach the marrow, causing the back to protrude like a turtle shell. Although medicinal formulas exist, they often result in chronic, stubborn diseases; therefore, moxibustion is the primary treatment method. [Qian Yi] believes that if postnatal "guest wind" invades the spine and penetrates the bone marrow, it results in turtle-back deformity. Treatment involves applying turtle urine to the joint bones. To obtain turtle urine, place the turtle on a lotus leaf and shine a mirror upon it; the urine will naturally excrete, which can be collected with a vessel. [Zhang Huan] points out that an infant's bones do not fully form until 180 days after birth, at which point they can sit independently. Forcing an infant to sit too early allows external wind-cold to blow upon the back and spine, reaching the bones and penetrating the marrow, causing the back to protrude like a turtle shell. This can be treated with *Songyao Dan* (Pine Medicine Pill).
[Zhang Huan] *Songyao Dan*: Treats turtle-back disease.
Ingredients: *Pinus massoniana* flower heads (Wu Jia Pi Hua, Pine Flower) (washed and dried by baking), 1 liang; *Aurantii Fructus* (Zhi Ke, Bitter Orange) (pulp removed, stir-fried with bran), 1 liang; *Angelicae Pubescentis Radix* (Duhuo) (1 liang); *Saposhnikoviae Radix* (Fangfeng) (rhizome and forked parts removed), 1 liang; *Rhei Radix et Rhizoma* (Chuan Dahuang) (processed), 0.5 liang; *Peucedani Radix* (Qianhu) (0.5 liang); *Ephedrae Herba* (Mahuang, Ephedra) (roots and nodes removed), 0.5 liang; *Cinnamomi Cortex* (Guixin, Cinnamon Bark) (0.5 liang).
Grind all ingredients into fine powder. Mix with refined honey to form pills the size of millet seeds. Administer 10 pills per dose, taken down with gruel broth. Adjust dosage according to the child's age and size. In *Shenghui Fang*'s *Mahuang Wan*, the dosage of *Paeoniae Radix Alba* (Baishao, White Peony Root) is higher, and *Peucedani Radix* (Qianhu) is lower. Another formula increases the dosage of *Arecae Semen* (Binglang, Betel Nut) and *Terminalia Chebula Retzii Fructus* (Hepi, Chebula Fruit Peel). Yet another formula excludes pine flowers but includes *Angelicae Sinensis Radix* (Danggui, Dang Gui), using boiled wheat paste to form pills, named *Zhike Fangfeng Wan*.
*Shenghui Fang* Moxibustion Method: Moxibustion should be applied to Feishu (BL13, Lung Shu) located 1.5 cun lateral to the spinous process of the third thoracic vertebra; Xinshu (BL15, Heart Shu) located 1.5 cun lateral to the spinous process of the fifth thoracic vertebra; and Geshu (BL17, Diaphragm Shu) located 1.5 cun lateral to the spinous process of the seventh thoracic vertebra. Use the middle phalanx of the child's middle finger as the standard for 1 cun. The moxa cone should be the size of a wheat grain. Apply 3-5 cones per acupoint. This method has been used repeatedly with success in only one or two out of ten cases, and no complete cure has been achieved. (*Luxin Jing* records: Fu Dianzhi's grandson, Shaoxi, was cured after moxibustion in the spring of the Xinhai year.)
[General Medical View] Turtle-back deformity is incurable if not treated within the first hundred days.
[Zeng Zhixi] The Lung and Large Intestine are exterior-interiorly related. The anus is the gate of the Large Intestine. Lung excess-heat causes constipation and blockage; Lung deficiency-cold causes rectal prolapse. Some cases arise from prolonged dysentery with tenesmus and straining, causing the anus to open and be exposed to external wind. Others result from summer-heat retention causing diarrhea and intestinal sliding without control. Some stem from congenital weakness, making them susceptible to cold, leading to Large Intestine deficiency and collapse. All pediatric diarrhea and dysentery are caused by summer-heat, dampness, wind, and heat pathogens attacking the Spleen and Stomach during their deficiency. Wind belongs to Wood; excessive Wood controls Earth. Earth governs the Spleen and Stomach; when deficient and controlled, and combined with Dampness injuring the Spleen due to deficiency, the ability to separate clear from turbid is lost. Water and food mix, resulting in severe watery diarrhea (Dongxie). Prolonged Dongxie weakens the Large Intestine. The Large Intestine is Hand-Yangming Dryness-Metal. Earth deficiency fails to generate Metal; thus, Metal Qi becomes deficient, weakening the transmission pathway. Attack by wind-cold causes anal prolapse that cannot retract. The treatment principle is to tonify the Spleen and warm the Stomach, allowing Metal to receive benefit from its mother (Earth) and strengthen its Qi. Primary formulas include *Huoxiang Yin* (for anorexia/lack of milk intake), *Yunqi San* (for hernia), and *Pingwei San* (for anorexia). Subsequently, internal administration of intestinal-astringing agents such as *Jianpi Yin* (for anorexia) and *Yangzang Tang* (for dysentery) is used. External application methods include applying *Fulonggan San* (Dragon Bone Powder) and *Bima Gao* (Castor Oil Paste) to the Fontanelle (Baihui area) to guide Qi upward, allowing spontaneous retraction. Once fully retracted, wash off the paste with water. If pathogenic heat and stagnation accumulate in the Large Intestine without prior clearing, this condition also arises. The anus appears red and soft, the Lung pulse is floating and rapid, the fingerprint on the right hand is purple, there is slight fever, and occasional irritability. Initially administer *Qingfei Yin* (for cough) to disperse and resolve, followed by *Bohe San* and *Panlong San*. Intermittent use of *Wan'an Yin* is also beneficial.
[Xue Ji] Chao Yuanfang stated: Excess-heat causes fecal impaction; deficiency-cold causes anal prolapse. This is mostly due to vomiting and diarrhea causing Spleen Qi deficiency, leaving the Lung un-nourished, resulting in Large Intestine Qi deficiency, leading to prolapse and sinking. Treatment uses *Buzhong Yiqi Tang* (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) or *Sijunzi Tang* (Four Gentlemen Decoction) as the main formula. If the prolapsed tissue is crimson or painful, it indicates Blood deficiency with heat; treat with *Buzhong Yiqi Tang* assisted by *Siwu Tang* (Four Substances Decoction) and *Mudanpi* (Tree Peony Bark). If symptoms are mild and painful, it indicates Qi deficiency with heat; assist with *Sijunzi Tang* and *Mudanpi*. Generally, hot fingers and toes indicate Stomach Qi heat; cold fingers and toes indicate Stomach Qi cold.
[Tang Shi's Formula] For anal prolapse where the Large Intestine exits the anus, fumigate and wash with Scallion Decoction to soften the tissue, then gently push it back. For cases caused by diarrhea, administer anti-diarrheal medicines, followed by *Huaihua* (Sophora Flower) etc. Another method uses a decoction of single-ingredient *Wubeizi* (Galla Chinensis) with *Xiaokuniao* (Mirabilite) for fumigation and washing to shrink the prolapse. Another method uses finely ground *Puhuang* (Pollinis Typhae) mixed with lard, applied to the anus to facilitate reduction.
*Quanying Fang* uses *Sechang San* (Intestine-Astringing Powder). For concurrent hemorrhoid swelling and pain, mix equal parts of *Hongdan* (Red Lead Oxide) and *Huashi* (Talcum) with well water and apply; it resolves immediately. Also apply *Qianbaishuang* (Basic Lead Carbonate) half a qian and *Pian Nao* (Borneol) half a zi, mixed with good wine, applied to the swollen area; this is very effective. *Huanglian Jiedu Tang* (Coptis Decoction for Resolving Toxicity) can also be taken. Washing with *Kushen Tang* (Sophora Decoction) is also effective. Applications of *Miduoseng* (Litharge), *Baifan* (Alum), and powdered *Naozi* (Camphor) are used, along with washing with *Jingjie* (Schizonepeta) and *Fangfeng* (Saposhnikovia). Using raw *Gualugen* (Trichosanthes Root) is effective.
