Aged Jingmi (Rice, Oryza sativa var. japonica) descends Qi and is suitable for patients.
It is sweet, neutral in nature, slightly cold, and non-toxic. It tonifies the Middle Jiao and harmonizes the Stomach, benefits Qi, relieves irritability, clears heat, and stops thirst. It strengthens sinews and bones, nourishes the intestines and stomach, harmonizes the Five Zang organs, and improves complexion.
For cholera with vomiting and diarrhea, accompanied by irritability and thirst, grind Jingmi in water to extract juice, mix with Zhuli (Bamboo Sap), and take orally. (Verified Formula 1.)
For red dysentery (dysentery with blood) and heat-induced restlessness, grind Jingmi in water to extract juice, store in a bottle submerged in a well overnight, and take at dawn. (Formula 2.)
For incessant spontaneous sweating, pound Jingmi into powder, wrap in silk cloth, and apply as a dusting powder. (Formula 3.)
