All seasonal epidemics are caused by the abnormal qi of the four seasons. When the human body is affected by these pathogens, illness occurs. Regardless of age, symptoms are generally similar. If the disease is not prevented and isolated, it often leads to contagion. Therefore, appropriate prescriptions and methods should be employed for advance prevention. It is also said that such diseases arise because the climate of the year is disordered, with irregular warmth and cold. When people are affected by qi that contradicts the seasonal norms, illness ensues, and the pathogenic qi spreads through mutual infection, potentially leading to the death of an entire household and spreading to outsiders. Thus, one must take medicine in advance and employ magical rituals for treatment.
Prescriptions:
Mahuang San (Cinnamon Twig Decoction Powder, from *Shenghui Fang*), treating seasonal epidemics and mutual contagion. In such cases, one must avoid patients, pay attention to dietary regulation, etc., to prevent transmission via food or contact. Once one person falls ill, the whole family suffers unrest. This phenomenon of mutual contagion requires intervention.
Ingredients: Mahuang (*Ephedrae Herba*, root and nodes removed, 3 fen), Jiegeng (*Platycodonis Radix*, radix removed, 3 fen), Guixin (*Cinnamomi Ramulus*, 3 fen), Ganjiang (*Zingiberis Rhizoma*, processed, 3 fen), Fangfeng (*Saposhnikoviae Radix*, radix removed, 3 fen), Chuan Dahuang (*Rhei Radix et Rhizoma*, crushed, slightly roasted, 3 fen), Chuan Wutou (*Aconiti Radix*, cracked by processing, skin and umbilicus removed, 1 fen), Wuzhuyu (*Evodiae Fructus*, soaked in decoction seven times, dried, slightly roasted, 1 fen), Chuanjiao (*Zanthoxyli Pericarpium*, eyes and closed-mouth ones removed, slightly roasted to remove sweat, 1 fen). The above ingredients are ground into a powder. Take 2 qian per dose, mixed with warm wine on an empty stomach.
