Category: Formulas
[English Translation]
Use Rehmanniae Radix (Shengdi Huang) fruits, quantity unlimited. Usually collected in April. Dried in the shade, pounded and sifted into powder. Take one qian each time, mixed with water for oral administration. Three times daily.
To prolong life.
Formula for Immortals Eating Rehmannia to Treat Diseases and Prolong Life (from Taiping Shenghui Fang)
Take ten jin of fresh Rehmanniae Radix (Shengdi Huang), split it. Place it in a large copper vessel, set a steamer grate inside, place the Rehmannia on the grate, and steam it in a steamer. The juice will flow down into the copper vessel.
Formula for Pill Preparation of Rehmannia to Achieve Immortality (from Qianjin Fang)
Take fifty jin of fresh Rehmanniae Radix (Shengdi Huang), thoroughly pound and squeeze out the juice, clarify and remove dregs. Decoct over low heat until reduced by half. Add five sheng of white honey and one sheng of jujube fat, stir to mix evenly. Additionally, take ten jin of Rehmannia, finely cut, and soak in two dou of strong wine for three nights. Remove and dry in the sun. Repeat soaking until the wine is fully absorbed. Combine with Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao) and Morindae Officinalis Radix (Bajitian), decoct vigorously. It prevents disease and prolongs life. Another method: decoct in a silver pot over low heat. Avoid aged vinegar and animals that died naturally.
Method for Preparing Cooked Dried Rehmannia (from Qianjin Fang)
Harvest Rehmannia, remove rootslets, leaves, and fine roots. Pound and squeeze out the juice. Use this juice to soak plump Rehmannia pieces. Place in a steamer. If there is no rice on top, cover with a lid and steam. Remove after one shichen (two hours), continuing until evening.
Method for Cultivating Rehmannia (from Qianjin Fang)
First select good quality Rehmannia; those that are reddish and soft are preferred. Plow the land deeply; reverse plowing frozen soil in the twelfth lunar month is even better. Select thick and large Rehmannia roots, cut them into four or five cun lengths. Harvest on the tenth day of the month. From morning to night, they should turn black. Those not completely black should be selected again the next day for steaming. Previously pounded and juiced parts are decocted in a copper vessel. Immerse the Rehmannia in the juice until fully absorbed, then remove and dry. Generally, one hundred jin of fresh material yields twenty to thirty jin of processed product. Harvest from the eighth day. Do not let the roots become too old; forced steaming will not dissolve them completely, leaving fibrous strands. When initially placing Rehmannia in the steamer, first place a copper vessel underneath. Pour good wine over the Rehmannia to coat it thoroughly. The juice flows down into the vessel below. Mixing one part with the decocted juice is optimal.

Master Zhang Guo's Method for Ingesting Apricot Kernels (from Wangshi Boji Fang)
Humans are formed from earth, soul from sun, spirit from moon. After birth, death should not occur; all should achieve longevity. Medicine relies on fence roots... Use money... Just... Ding Lingwei etc., did not leave worldly affairs, kept wives and children, ingested raw Apricot Kernels (Xingren). After long ingestion, immortals came to welcome, riding dragons and cranes to ascend. Only by ingesting Apricot Kernels. Ingesting generates Five Zang organs, supplements sinews and bones, adds blood and marrow, benefits spirit, increases wisdom, eyes see clearly for a thousand li, eliminates phthisis and masses, transforms mortal to immortal. If Wang Zijin, ingested for forty years, unconsciously flew into sky. Ding Lingwei ingested for twenty years, unconsciously flew. These two did not take other medicines, only raw Apricot Kernels. Such miraculous effects need not be cooked; raw generates Qi and strength quickly, cooked reduces efficacy by half. Apricot Kernel has ten names: one Changsheng Wan, two Qiansui Wan, three Huabai Ling Shao, fourquelao Wan, five Shentong Wansui Wan, six Dingjing Wan, seven Yijing Wan, eight Chaosheng Wan, nine Tonggu Qing Shen Wan, ten Lian Xingxin Jin Dan Wan. Their divided ingestion history is long. Apricot Kernel nature is neither cold nor hot, no taboos, does not conflict with other medicines. Only avoid unpolished rice, white glutinous rice, sweet porridge. Avoid eating these; slight discomfort occurs, resolves quickly. If traveling, might not follow method perfectly. If encountering white glutinous rice sweet porridge, let it cool, eat any amount without harm, only avoid this porridge, otherwise no hindrance. Apricot Kernel nature is warm and neutral, slightly bitter, later becomes sweet. After three years, no longer taste bitter, only sweet. Not only directs Qi downward, removes upper chest heat, strengthens waist and legs. Users know themselves. Take raw Apricot Kernels, remove skin, tips, double kernels. Yellow ones are best. At dawn, on empty stomach before brushing teeth, take fourteen (two sevens). Remove skin and tips in mouth, chew thoroughly until half mouthful of saliva, then swallow. After walking one li, eat any food. If only seeking longevity, eat meat and pungent foods freely. If seeking ascension, avoid all meat and pungent foods. Keep wives and children, engage in ordinary labor. Meat spoils easily, thus not beneficial to body. Daoist path avoids meat; cutting meat makes Daoist path easier. Regularly ingest raw Apricot Kernels: one year, hundred diseases remove; two years, body light, eyes bright, see ten li; extend life fifty years; six years, flesh and bone replace, face like peach red, reach age seventy; seven years, run as fast as horses, old teeth regrow; eight years, attended by jade girls, reach 150 years; nine years, hear palace bells, prolong life 300 years; ten years, life equals sun and moon; fifteen years, if eating meat/blood, cannot hear [immortals]; twenty years, body floats in void, nowhere to return; thirty years, Daoist path complete, immortals welcome. If cutting wives, meat, blood, five pungents, nutrition, ingest for two years, immortals welcome, ascend in daylight. If cutting blood/nutrition but keeping wives, forty years, suddenly feel immortals welcoming. I like hunting, meat is base. At age sixty, climbed Hengshan peak, got this formula, picked apricot kernels in mountain, ingested for ten years, felt body light, eyes bright, joyful without sleep. Ingested for twenty years, I am now eighty. Originally planned for one hundred years, dared not hope for longevity. Suddenly there were thirty... [Text fragmentary]
