There is also a magical wash prescription for scaly head (Lai Tou): use 30 snails, add three bowls of water, decoct the soup, and wash the affected area. Recovery occurs after two applications; this is indeed a miraculous formula.

Lu Zu selects: When fire stagnates in the chest and cannot disperse, it must be vented externally. If the fire heat is severe and accumulates over a long period, the condition becomes intense, often transforming into... [text fragment] ... Ginseng 4 fen... Stomach Fire... Wei... Ge...

Huazhenren says: Among ancient and modern miraculous prescriptions, I have rarely seen such unique and appropriate ones. I select another formula to slightly assist in profound treatment: Bai... 1 qian of Saposhnikovia root (Fang Feng) and 2 qian of Trichosanthes root (Tian Hua Fen). Decoct in water and take orally.

It is like flowers and trees being severely damaged; how can lush branches and leaves appear overnight? One must cultivate them throughout the year and years. Naturally, spring energy will gradually return, sprouts will reach out, and vitality will slowly recover. Do not be impatient. Diet must also be timely. Treatment is difficult and urgent; do not rush for quick results. Only one or two out of ten patients with previous symptoms can escape death; this method cannot save everyone, but there is no other treatment. Pitying the world, I established this formula. If you listen to my words, cut off sexual desires, eat bland food, guard against greed and anger, then the medicine will surely work. Otherwise, you can only prolong your life temporarily. This warning must not be ignored.

I also select a formula that is extremely mild... 3 liang of Poria (Fu Ling), 8 liang of Lotus seeds (Lian Zi), and 8 liang of white sugar. Grind all into powder. Take 1 liang mixed with plain boiling water daily. If you do not wish to mix it, form pills like tangyuan and take them with water. Take one pill in the morning and evening as an adjunct.

Guo Lao Da Xian also selects a modified formula: 1 jin of Euryale seed (Qian Shi), 2 jin of Chinese yam (Shan Yao), 8 liang of black sesame seeds (Hei Zhi Ma), 3 jin of small yellow millet (Xiao Huang Mi, stir-fried), 1 jin of Coix seed (Yi Yi Ren)... Essence. People... What heat is there?
