[Commentary]
Wind pathogen affecting the Spleen is caused by deficiency; this is the origin of fright and convulsions, leading to the production of phlegm-saliva. Yin epilepsy does not manifest violently or suddenly, but empirically, if one attempts aggressive treatment hastily, it causes greater harm. Therefore, harsh drugs that open orifices and unblock collaterals are prohibited as they offer no benefit. The appropriate therapeutic method is to select an excellent formula now to save lives with a single dose. Bai Jiang Can Wan (White Silkworm Pill) alone can resolve phlegm. When wind has transmitted to the "slow spleen" stage, wind-phlegm mixes, and fright-heat converges, physicians must weigh the pros and cons when prescribing, hesitating to decide definitively. If the child's Yang Qi has not yet collapsed, direct administration of this formula is suitable. However, if Yang deficiency and Yin excess prevail, presenting with critical urgency and unpredictable changes, where spirit, complexion, and pulse appear terrifyingly abnormal, the following excellent formulas should be administered.

For treating infants and young children whose acute convulsive disease has transmitted to slow spleen wind syndrome, with cold phlegm stagnating in the diaphragm causing recurrent attacks without dissipation. This condition involves long-standing deficiency and should not be treated with sudden purgation. If the child exhibits slow convulsions and severe lethargy/coma, this formula is indicated.

[Commentary]
All three formulas utilize Hei Fu Zi (Black Aconite Root). One must not rigidly adhere to its hot nature and fear administering it to young children due to their tender constitution. In cases of spleen wind with cold hands and feet, severity varies from mild to acute. Assess the severity: use decoctions for mild cases, and pills or pastes for severe cases; all are effective. Treatment should continue until the hands and feet become warm and Yang Qi recovers, bringing comfort. Once warmth is restored, combine with formulas that awaken the Spleen and rectify the Stomach. These formulas are specifically indicated only when acute convulsions transmit to the slow spleen wind syndrome. Liu Huang (Sulfur) acts rapidly, expelling wind and resolving phlegm, awakening the Spleen, rectifying the Stomach, warming the zang-fu organs, tonifying the intestines and stomach, rescuing life, restoring Yang Qi, and saving critical conditions. It is highly effective. Do not act in panic and indiscriminately administer pills or powders, nor use doses that are too large or too small, lest errors occur. Study and accept the subsequent formulas to avoid absurdity and misleading practice.
