经言癫狂本一病，狂乃阳邪癫是阴。癫疾始发意不乐，甚则神痴语不伦。狂怒凶狂
多不卧，目直骂詈不识亲。痫发吐涎昏噤倒，抽搐省后若平人。
【注】李时珍曰∶经有言癫狂疾者，又言癫疾为狂者，是癫狂为兼病也。邪入于阳者
狂，邪入于阴者癫。盖癫疾始发，志意不乐，甚则精神呆痴，言语不伦，而睡如平时，以
邪并于阴也。狂疾始发多怒不卧，甚则凶狂欲杀，目直骂詈，不识亲疏，而夜多不卧，以
邪并于阳也。然俱不似痫疾发则吐涎神昏卒倒无知，口噤牙紧，抽搐时之多少不等，而
省后起居饮食皆若平人为别也。痫虽分而为五，曰鸡、马、牛、羊、猪名者，以病状偶
类故也。其实痰、火、气、惊、四者而已，所以为治同乎癫狂也。

Zhu Sha An Shen Wan (Cinnabar Calming the Spirit Pill)
Fear arising internally is not palpitation; if palpitation is accompanied by fright and apprehension, it is termed Zhengchong (Palpitations with Fright). Forgetting previous words is called Jianwang (Amnesia); a state of confusion, appearing dazed yet seemingly lucid, is named Huanghu (Trance-like State). These conditions involve loss of will and injury to the spirit.
When the Heart and Gallbladder are weak, Phlegm-Fluids, Jiuqi (Nine Qi/Pathogenic Factors), and Fire pathogen mutually attack.
Treatment requires clearing heat using Zhu Sha (Cinnabar), Lian Xin Ye (Coptis Rhizome), Dang Gui (Angelica Sinensis), Di Huang (Rehmannia Root), and Gan Cao (Licorice Root). For other diseases, refined treatment methods exist in other categories.
[Note] Diseases such as Jingji (Frightened Palpitations), Zhengchong, Jianwang, Huanghu, Shizhi (Loss of Will), and Shangshen (Spirit Injury) all occur because Heart deficiency and Gallbladder weakness allow various pathogens to take advantage.
For those with Heat in the Heart Qi, first use Zhu Sha An Shen Wan to clear it. For other excess or deficiency pathogens, one should select formulas by combining syndromes from categories such as Deficiency Damage, Jiuqi, Epilepsy, and Phlegm-Fluids, which will naturally provide effective methods.
Ren Shu San (Bai Zi Ren and Prepared Rehmannia Powder)
Fear and dread preventing independent lying down indicates Gallbladder deficiency and Qi timidity; use Ren Shu San.
The formula contains Bai Zi Ren (Biota Seed), Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmannia Root), Gou Qi Zi (Goji Berry), Wu Wei Zi (Schisandra Fruit), Shan Zhu Yu (Cornus Fruit), Gui Xin (Cinnamon Twig Heart), Ren Shen (Ginseng Root), Fu Shen (Poria with Hostwood), Ju Hua (Chrysanthemum Flower), and Zhi Ke (Aurantium Fruit). Take as powder mixed with wine.
[Note] Fear and dread preventing independent lying down are due to Qi timidity and Gallbladder deficiency. Ren Shu San consists of Bai Zi Ren, Shu Di Huang, Gou Qi Zi, Wu Wei Zi, Shan Zhu Yu, Gui Xin, Ren Shen, Fu Shen, Ju Hua, and Zhi Ke, ground into fine powder and taken mixed with aged wine.
Classics state that Dian (Epileptic Mania) and Kuang (Manic Disorder) originate from the same disease source; Kuang belongs to Yang pathogen, while Dian belongs to Yin pathogen.
Dian disease begins with unwillingness and depression; severely, it presents with mental dullness and incoherent speech.
Kuang disease manifests as anger, ferocity, and insomnia; severely, the patient may be murderous, stare straight ahead, curse, and fail to recognize relatives.
Xian (Epilepsy) attacks involve foaming at the mouth, coma, jaw clenching, and falling; after convulsions cease, the patient returns to normal.
[Note] Li Shizhen said: The classics mention both "Dian and Kuang" as separate entities and "Dian disease" as synonymous with Kuang, indicating they can coexist. Pathogens entering the Yang aspect cause Kuang; pathogens entering the Yin aspect cause Dian. Dian typically begins with low mood; severely, it causes mental dullness and incoherent speech, with sleep patterns remaining normal, as the pathogen resides in Yin. Kuang typically begins with irritability and insomnia; severely, it causes violent behavior, staring, cursing, and failure to recognize kin, with severe nighttime insomnia, as the pathogen resides in Yang. However, these differ from Xian (Epilepsy), where attacks involve foaming, sudden collapse with loss of consciousness, jaw clenching, and varying degrees of convulsions, followed by a return to normal daily activities. Although Xian is classified into five types—Chicken, Horse, Ox, Sheep, and Pig Xian—based on superficial symptom resemblance, the underlying causes are merely Phlegm, Fire, Qi stagnation, and Fright. Therefore, the treatment principles are similar to those for Dian and Kuang.
San Sheng San (Three Holy Powders), Qingzhou Bai Wan Zi (Qingzhou White Pills), Gun Tan Wan (Rolling Phlegm Pills), Sui Xin Dan (Satisfy the Heart Pill), Fan Yu Wan (Alum and Curcuma Pills), Kong Xian Dan (Draining Fluids Pill), Bao Dan Wan (Embracing Courage Pill), Zhen Xin Dan (Calming the Heart Pill)
For initial Dian, Kuang, or Xian with phlegm, use San Sheng San to induce vomiting. For wind-phlegm, use Qingzhou Bai Wan Zi; for heat-phlegm, use Gun Tan Wan. For solid phlegm, use Sui Xin Dan; for phlegm with Qi stagnation, use Fan Yu Wan. For phlegm-fright, use Kong Xian Dan. For fright without phlegm causing spirit disturbance, use Bao Dan Wan and Zhen Xin Dan.
Moxibustion on Baihui (GV20) brings natural peace during attacks. Initially, insert Sichuan Pepper (Zao Jiao) powder into the nose. To stop excessive salivation, apply salt water.
[Note] For initial Dian, Kuang, or Xian characterized by abundant phlegm, first use San Sheng San to induce vomiting. For wind-dominant phlegm, use Qingzhou Bai Wan Zi; for heat-dominant phlegm, use Meng Shi Gun Tan Wan (Lapis Lazuli Rolling Phlegm Pill). For phlegm with robust constitution, use Sui Xin San (Kan Su Gen, Cinnabar, Pig Heart). For phlegm with Qi stagnation, use Fan Yu Wan (Alum, Curcuma). For phlegm with fright, use Kong Xian Dan. For spirit lightness/fright without phlegm, use Zhen Xin Dan and Bao Dan Wan. These are established formulas. During Xian attacks, moxibustion is applied to Baihui (GV20); do not strictly adhere to the number of cones, but stop once the patient regains consciousness. Reapply upon recurrence until cured. Initially, instill Zao Jiao (Gleditsia Sinensis Fruit) juice into the nose to expel wind-phlegm via nasal discharge and saliva. If salivation persists after recovery, administer salt water decoction to stop it.
