The Sichuan pepper (Zanthoxyli Fructus) with closed lips is toxic; it pierces the throat, causes breath to nearly cease, and induces vomiting of white foam.
Drink copious amounts of Cinnamon Twig Decoction (Guizhi Tang) juice or cold water, one to two sheng, and eat plenty of garlic; the condition will immediately resolve. Strictly avoid drinking hot liquids, as this can be fatal. Recently, common treatments for Sichuan pepper toxicity involve chewing garlic and Shepherd's Purse (Shepherdiae Herba), which leads to recovery.
The leaves of Gelsemium (Gelsemii Radix et Caulis) resemble those of mustard greens; a prescription for fatal accidental ingestion of Gelsemium.
Take eight liang of Shepherd's Purse (Shepherdiae Herba), add six sheng of water, boil down to three sheng, and take five he per dose. Take five times daily. Another view states that this is not Gelsemium poisoning.
Prescription for food poisoning from various vegetables, manifesting as madness, restlessness, and impending death due to severe vomiting and diarrhea.
Take chicken feces, burn them to ash, and take one fangcun bi (a square-inch measure). If symptoms do not resolve, administer again. Alternatively, boil Kudzu Root (Puerariae Lobatae Radix) and drink the juice.
For Datura (Daturae Fructus) poisoning: Boil Licorice Root (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) juice and drink Blue Indigo (Indigo Naturalis) juice; both are effective.
For bitter gourd (Luffae Fructus) poisoning: Boak millet stalks (Setariae Vulgaris Culm) until the decoction is thick, and drink several sheng of the juice; this is beneficial.
Poisoning from eating horse liver.
Take fourteen pieces of female mouse feces (identified by pointed ends), mix with water, and drink. If ineffective, prepare and administer again.
Poisoning from consuming meat of livestock, birds, or beasts.
Take one qianbi of head scurf; the book *Duanju* claims it can revive the dead. Drinking fermented soybean (Fermented Soja Glycines Semen) juice in large quantities is also beneficial.
Animal livers should never be consumed lightly, especially those of animals that died naturally. Do not eat them at all, as raw liver consumption causes poisoning.
Grind Aconite (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata) into powder, take one dao gui per dose, three times daily.
Meat containing arrow poison can be detoxified using Indigo Naturalis (Indigo Naturalis) juice and soybeans (Soja Glycines Semen).
Consuming "Yu Rou" (fermented/preserved meat stored in honey containers overnight) and "Lou Fu" (meat jerky contaminated by roof leakage) is toxic.
Burn human feces to ash, take one fangcun bi with wine.
Another method: Crush Scallion Bulb (Allii Tuberosi Bulbus) and take two to three sheng of the juice, taken continuously, mixed with a small amount of water.
Prescription for poisoning from meat preserved in millet.
This refers to Yu Fu (preserved meat). Boil soybeans (Soja Glycines Semen) for one boiling, drink several sheng of the juice to resolve the toxicity. This also resolves poisoning from various meats and Lou Du (leaking jerky).
Prescription for poisoning from consuming meat of spontaneously deceased livestock.
Take Phellodendron Bark (Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex) powder, one fangcun bi per dose. If ineffective, take multiple doses.
Spontaneously deceased livestock have likely been exposed to epidemics; their meat is toxic. Ingestion causes severe diarrhea and may lead to hard accumulations. All such cases should be treated with Dysentery Pills (Li Wan) to purge the toxins.
Poisoning from eating fish.
Boak orange peel (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) thickly and drink the juice; the book *Duanju* states winter melon juice (Benincasae Exocarpium) is most effective.
Excessive consumption of pork causing cold stagnation and indigestion inevitably leads to parasitic disorders; a purgative prescription.
Cassia Bark (Cinnamomi Cassiae Cortex) and Mirabilite (Natrii Sulfas) each one liang; Mangxiao (Mirabilite) is also suitable. Boil to obtain one sheng, consume entirely. If digestion does not improve, combine with ground apricot kernel soup (three sheng) and take in three doses. Vomiting results in miraculous efficacy.
Beef poisoning: Boak Licorice Root (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma), drink one to two sheng of the juice.
Severe diarrhea and impending death after eating horse meat.
Two hundred grains of fermented soybeans (Fermented Soja Glycines Semen) and twenty apricot kernels (Armeniacae Semen Amarum). Chew thoroughly, steam, and serve with five sheng of cooked rice. Mash together when cooked, and take fully over two morning doses.
This applies specifically to cattle and horses that died from illness.
Poisoning from eating perch liver and [missing character] fish.
Crush Reed Rhizome (Phragmitis Rhizoma), boil, and drink one to two sheng of the juice; this is beneficial.
Detoxification: Boak Perilla Leaf (Perillae Folium) thickly and drink one sheng of the juice.
Unknown toxin in food and drink.
Based on previous methods, Licorice Root (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) and Shepherd's Purse (Shepherdiae Herba) generally treat these toxins and can be used for rescue.
Accidental swallowing of leeches while eating pickled vegetables; the leech feeds on visceral blood, causing intestinal pain, gradual yellowing, and emaciation. Drink one to two sheng of fresh blood from cattle or sheep; after one night, warmth returns. Then drink one sheng of pig fat (Suis Adeps); the leech will be expelled.
Prescription for death caused by poisonous mushrooms.
Squeeze juice from human feces and drink one sheng; life is restored. Taking various emetic and purgative pills is also good. Alternatively, dig up soil to make mud slurry and drink two to three sheng; this is beneficial.
Accidental ingestion of wild taro, leading to near-death state; treatment is the same as for mushroom poisoning.
Taro planted for three years without harvest becomes wild taro, which is lethal.
Supplementary Prescriptions
*Meishi Fang*: Treats food poisoning from meat, fish, and vegetables.
Three liang of Sophora Root (Sophorae Flavescentis Radix), boiled in one sheng of vinegar for three to five boils. Strain and administer. Vomiting leads to recovery. Alternatively, boiling Rhinoceros Horn (Rhinocerotis Cornu) juice, one sheng, is also good.
Another method: For indigestion of dog meat, hardness under the heart, abdominal distension, dry mouth, fever, and delirium, boil Reed Rhizome (Phragmitis Rhizoma) and drink.
Another method: One sheng of Apricot Kernels (Armeniacae Semen Amarum) peeled, boiled in three sheng of water until boiling. Strain and divide into three doses. Continue until meat is expelled.
*Jinkui Yaolue* Prescription: Treats crab poisoning.
Boak Perilla Leaf (Perillae Folium) and drink three sheng of the juice, also using Perilla Seed (Perillae Fructus) juice. This also treats general crab toxicity, as crabs harvested before frost are more toxic.
Also, *Shenghui Fang*: Raw lotus root juice (Nelumbinis Rhizoma), boiled dried garlic juice, or winter melon juice are all excellent.
Another method: For pheasant meat causing toxicity, resulting in vomiting and diarrhea.
Use raw Rhinoceros Horn (Rhinocerotis Cornu) powder, one fangcun bi, mixed with fresh well water and swallowed; recovery follows.
Tang Dynasty Duke Cui Wei stated: Cui Xuan died suddenly at night. Liang Xin diagnosed him upon hearing the news, stating it was food poisoning. The servant replied, "He often eats bamboo chickens, which feed on Pinellia Tuber (Pinelliae Rhizoma) sprouts; this must be Pinellia toxicity." Ginger paste juice was forced into his teeth, saving his life.
*Jinkui Yaolue* Prescription: In spring and autumn, dragons deposit essence into celery. Humans who consume this become ill. Symptoms include cyanotic hands, abdominal fullness, and unbearable pain, termed "Dragon-Jiao Disease." Take two to three sheng of hard sugar. Twice daily, vomit out three lizard-like objects, and the disease resolves.
*Minghuang Zalu* records: An eunuch returned from an embassy to Jiaoguang. Zhou Gu told him, "You have a dragon-jiao in your abdomen." The Emperor was surprised and asked the eunuch, "Are you ill?" The eunuch replied, "While riding on Dayu Ridge during intense heat, I became thirsty and drank water. I felt a hard lump in my abdomen, cup-sized. Zhou Gu prescribed Niter (Natrii Nitras) and Realgar (Realgar) boiled for administration. He immediately vomited an object, several inches long, finger-thick, with scales and armor. Thrown into water, it grew to several feet. Sprinkled with vinegar, it remained unchanged. Covered in a vessel, by the next day, a dragon had been born." The Emperor was greatly astonished.
