For infants and young children presenting with signs of the four syndromes but not yet exhibiting all eight manifestations, pulse diagnosis should be performed promptly.

Scorpio (Jin Xie) [Diplocentris bidentata], detoxified and stir-fried, 1 liang; White Silkworm (Bai Jiang Can) [Bombyx batryticatus], silk removed and stir-fried, 1 liang; Gastrodia Rhizome (Tian Ma) [Gastrodiae Rhizoma], 1 liang; Prepared Aconite Rootlet (Bai Fu Zi) [Aconiti Kusnezoffii Radix], processed, 1 liang; Prepared Arisaema Tuber (Tian Nan Xing) [Arisaematis Rhizoma Preparatum], processed, each 1 liang; Cinnabar (Zhu Sha) [Cinnabaris], 1 liang; Red-footed Centipede (Chi Jiao Wu Gong) [Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans] (one piece, wine-roasted until crisp); Musk (She Xiang) [Moschus], one zi dose.
Grind the above ingredients into a fine powder. Form pills using refined honey, sized like a corn kernel. Administer one or two pills per dose, dissolved in a decoction of Honeysuckle Flower (Jin Yin Hua) [Lonicerae Japonicae Flos] and Mint (Bo He) [Menthae Haplocalycis Herba].

For infants and young children suffering from acute convulsive syndrome (Ji Jing Feng), where both the four syndromes and eight manifestations are present simultaneously, this formula is suitable:
Gastrodia Rhizome (Tian Ma) [Gastrodiae Rhizoma], half liang; Prepared Aconite Rootlet (Bai Fu Zi) [Aconiti Kusnezoffii Radix], processed, half liang; Prepared Arisaema Tuber (Tian Nan Xing) [Arisaematis Rhizoma Preparatum], processed, half liang; Scorpio Tail (Xie Shao) [Diplocentris bidentata tail], stir-fried, one fen; Cinnabar (Zhu Sha) [Cinnabaris], 1 liang; Hematite Ore (Dai Zhe Shi) [Hematitum], 1 liang (soaked seven times in rice vinegar); Realgar (Xiong Huang) [Realgar], 1 liang; Frankincense (Ru Xiang) [Olibanum], 1 liang; White Snake Head (Bai Hua She Tou) [Deinagkistrodon acutus head], one fen (wine-roasted); Brain (Nao) [Cervus Moschiferus brain or similar animal brain], one zi dose; Musk (She Xiang) [Moschus], one zi dose; Red-footed Centipede (Chi Jiao Wu Gong) [Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans] (one piece, wine-roasted).
Grind the above ingredients into an extremely fine powder. Administer half a qian per dose, mixed with a decoction of Honeysuckle Flower (Jin Yin Hua) [Lonicerae Japonicae Flos] and Mint (Bo He) [Menthae Haplocalycis Herba]; forming pills with refined honey the size of a corn kernel is also acceptable.

The physician discusses: When the convulsion has not yet occurred, phlegm-heat congestion generates wind. If the wind does not dissipate naturally, it flows into the sinews and meridians, eventually triggering convulsions. To arrest convulsions, one should first use the Jiefeng San (Wind-Cutting Powder). If the wind is subdued, the convulsions will cease spontaneously. However, once convulsions have already manifested, it indicates severe phlegm-heat accumulation and critical progression; at this stage, wind cannot be cut off, nor can convulsions be forcibly stopped. This is akin to neglecting a fire until it blazes fiercely, making it difficult to extinguish. For such patients, purgation (xia fa) is indicated. Generally, purgation is a sound method for Yang Epilepsy (Yang Xian); why apply it to Yin Epilepsy (Yin Xian)? Whether the child is older or younger, the treatment principle remains the same: disperse wind to stop convulsions. Wind pathogens are aggressive and conflictuous, invading areas of deficiency within the five zang organs. Before treating, one must examine whether the cause is fright (jing) or phlegm-heat, identify the root source, and determine the pathology—this is essential. The presence of wind leads to convulsions; the presence of convulsions is due to wind. When wind settles, convulsions stop; these principles are continuous. Now, regarding the Jiefeng San, it should be administered as soon as wind, phlegm, fright, or heat are suspected, preventing convulsions from occurring, hence the name "Cutting Wind." If convulsions have already begun, Dingchu San (Convulsion-Stabilizing Powder) should be used to counteract them. If counteraction fails to resolve the wind, Nuanjindan (Warm Golden Pill) may be taken, though this may worsen the condition, necessitating subsequent purgation. Purgation is a method employed by physicians out of necessity to劫 (seize/overcome) and remove wind, referencing the Qingjin San formulas, adjusted according to severity. Currently, people directly resort to purgation without attempting wind-cutting or convulsion-stabilizing methods. The debate over gains and losses stems from haste, confusion, and bewilderment; wise and skilled practitioners should carefully evaluate these approaches.
