(This formula is also known as Baxian Dan [Eight Immortals Pill]) It treats various types of accumulation stagnation. Whenever there is blood coagulation and qi stagnation, resulting in pain, swelling, parasitic accumulation, nodular masses, or hard syndromes, this formula is suitable for primary treatment. This pill removes disease with extreme speed; compared to substances like Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas), Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma), Sanleng (Sparganii Rhizoma), and Ezhu (Curcumae Longae Rhizoma), it greatly surpasses them in not overly damaging the vital qi of the zang-fu organs.
Badoushuang (Croton Seed Frost: peel removed, oil slightly reduced, 1.5 qian); Sheng Fuzi (Raw Aconiti Lateralis Radix: sliced, lightly stir-fried until dry, 2 qian); Zaojiao (Gleditsiae Fructus: lightly stir-fried until scorched, 2 qian). Grind these into fine powder, use steamed wheat dough paste as a binder to form pills, sized like radish seeds. Alternatively, decoct other medicines to take with, or take with ginger and vinegar broth. This medicine moves its efficacy when heated. For severe cases, take 10–20 pills, delivered with medicinal decoction.
(From *Qianjin Fang*) Treats food retention in the intestines and stomach, imbalance of cold and heat. Causing abdominal distension, urgent qi, pain and fullness so severe one wishes to die, as well as sudden onset diseases such as Zhong'e (Sudden Evil Attack) and Kewu (Guest Malevolence). Pathogenic factors obstruct the intestines and stomach, upper jiao qi mechanism fails to move, lower wan (stomach outlet) is blocked, hence the severe pain and distension. When interior excess exists, the method should be purgation. (Formula composition:) Badoushuang (Croton Seed Frost), Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma), Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), in equal parts. Honey-pelleted, sized like small beans. Take 2–3 pills per dose. If Zhong'e causes jaw lock, pry open the teeth and instill the medicine. Cui Shi stated: Dahuang is bitter and cold, used to purge heat knots; Badou is acrid and hot, used to purge cold knots. Adding Ganjiang (acrid and dispersing) to promote circulation and unblocking. Ganjiang is acrid and warm, opening the five zang and six fu...
Treats chest and abdominal pain, distension, and fullness, as well as food accumulation, qi accumulation, qi hernia, blood hernia, and syndromes of pathogenic excess and constipation/stagnation. (This formula borrows the power of a small amount of Badou to move... The removal of stagnation is excellent. If one desires a harsher effect, Badou must be increased to 2 qian.) Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Houpo (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex), Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix), Wuyao (Linderae Radix), Baijiezi (Sinapis Semen), Caodoukou (Amomi Fructus Rotundus), Sanleng (Sparganii Rhizoma), Peng'ezhu (Curcumae Longae Rhizoma: stir-baked), Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma), Yazao (Gleditsiae Fructus: stir-fried until smoke ceases), Zexie (Alismatis Rhizoma) (each 3 qian). The above eleven herbs are ground into fine powder separately. Additionally, take Badou, soak in boiling water, remove skin, core, and membrane, weigh exactly 1 qian. Add one bowl of water, simmer over low heat until half a bowl remains. Remove Badou, grind extremely fine in a mortar, then mix back into the decoction, grinding evenly. Then, depending on the quantity of herb powder, add soaked and softened steamed wheat dough, knead, and form pills sized like mung beans. Take 3 fen or 5 fen per dose; for severe cases, take 1 qian. Deliver with appropriate decoction based on syndrome. For food injury and stagnation, deliver with decoction made from the ingested food itself. For women's blood and qi pain, deliver with Honghua (Carthami Flos) decoction or Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) decoction. For qi pain, deliver with Chenpi decoction. For hernia qi, deliver with Huixiang (Foeniculi Fructus) decoction. For cold qi, deliver with Jiang (Ginger) decoction.
