"Jing Yan Hou Fang", for treating lower back pain miraculously.
Use Pogostemonis Patchouli Folium (actually Boswelliae Resina/Po Gu Zhi - *Correction*: Po Gu Zhi refers to Psoraleae Fructus/Bu Gu Zhi usually, but text says Po Gu Zhi which is often a variant name for Bu Gu Zhi Psoraleae Fructus in some contexts or potentially a typo for Bu Gu Zhi. Given context of kidney/waist, Psoraleae Fructus is standard. However, strictly translating text: "Po Gu Zhi". In TCM, Po Gu Zhi is often synonymous with Bu Gu Zhi (Psoraleae Fructus)). Pound into powder, take three qian bi with warm wine.
Another prescription for treating kidney deficiency with weak lower back and feet.
Store fresh chestnuts in a bag, hang to dry, eat over ten pieces every morning at dawn, followed by pig kidney porridge.

"Wai Tai Mi Yao", for treating lower back pain.

"Dou Men Fang", for treating lower back pain.
Use Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) half liang, add Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) half liang, cut both into soybean-sized pieces, stir-fry in a pan until yellow, add two bowls of water, at the beginning of the fifth watch (3-5 AM), take all at once; at dawn, discharge evil blood substances from the waist, collect in a basin; if resembling chicken liver shape, pain stops.

One deer horn, five cun long, two sheng of wine, burn the deer horn until red-hot, put into wine, soak overnight and drink.
Cui Yuanliang's "Hai Shang Fang", for treating cold wind qi in lower back and feet.
Take Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) two da liang, cut into chess-piece sizes, stir-fry with a little butter until butter is fully absorbed into the medicine; ensure Da Huang does not turn yellow, as charring renders it ineffective; pound, sieve into powder; every morning on an empty stomach, take three he of water, add two slices of Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) the size of a coin, boil for more than ten boils, remove ginger, take two qian of Da Huang powder placed separately in a bowl, mix with ginger soup, take all at once on an empty stomach; if there is remaining ginger soup, sip it slowly. This will cause the discharge of cold pus and much foul matter, and the disease will cease. Ancients used toxic drugs to attack diseases, always adjusting according to the patient's deficiency or excess, not using them indiscriminately. When Yao Sengyuan first entered official service, Emperor Wu of Liang had a fever and wished to take Da Huang. Sengyuan said, "Da Huang is a drastic purgative; Your Majesty is advanced in age and should not use it lightly." The Emperor did not listen and nearly became prostrate. Emperor Yuan often suffered from heart and abdominal ailments; all physicians suggested using mild medicines to gradually unblock. Sengyuan said, "The pulse is surging and solid; this indicates retained food. Without Da Huang, there is no hope of recovery." The Emperor followed his advice and recovered. From this, we see that modern physicians use one toxic drug to attack various diseases; if it accidentally hits the mark, they claim the formula is miraculous, while ignoring cases of failure or error. Such medication errors are common; must one not be vigilant?
"Xiu Zhen Fang", Immortal Formula.
Tusizi (Cuscutae Semen) one dou, wine one dou, soak for a long time, filter out and sun-dry, then soak again, continuing until the wine is exhausted; take two qian each time with warm wine, twice a day; afterwards eat three or five spoons of rice porridge to settle the medicine. After twenty-one days, increase to three qian bi. Taking this makes one radiant. An old man of three years becomes young; this medicine treats the lower back and knees, dispels wind, and prolongs life with long-term use.
