Combine the above ingredients with two sheng of water, two sheng of wine, and one sheng of vinegar. Simmer over low heat until the liquid is completely evaporated. Dry by baking, then grind into a fine powder. Use the flesh of the dates as a binder to form pills the size of golden rain tree seeds. Take fifty pills per dose, swallowed with warm rice broth, on an empty stomach or before meals. This medicine is extremely effective for treating abdominal pain!
Treats fan wei (regurgitation/vomiting) and reverse qi, where both medicine and food cannot be retained; colon obstruction lasting three to five days up to seven to eight days with no bowel movement. Such conditions are invariably fatal. The formula submitted by Chan Master Da Zhi of Quanzhou states: "This was transmitted to me by an extraordinary person; it cures eight or nine out of ten cases."
Bai Shui Niu Hou (Water Buffalo Esophagus, one piece, remove the joints at both ends along with tendons, membranes, and fat meat. Slice each joint like pieces of E-Jiao. Black buffalo esophagus must not be used. It must be purchased and prepared immediately after slaughter. Prepare fresh when needed for treatment.)
Soak the aforementioned esophageal joints in one da zhan of good quality rice vinegar. Turn frequently to ensure even soaking. Roast over low heat until dry, dip in vinegar again, and roast again. Repeat until the vinegar is exhausted. Preserve the medicinal nature; do not expose to direct sunlight. Grind into a fine powder. Take one qian per dose, mixed with aged rice broth before meals. Mild cases show improvement after one dose!
