The disease condition initially improves, but if purgatives are mistakenly used, it will lead to further deficiency and cold, thereby worsening the vomiting.

The pulse at the Cun Kou (radial artery) is faint (Wei, indicating deficiency of Qi) and rapid (Shu). Faintness indicates a lack of Qi; lack of Qi leads to deficiency of Ying (Nutritive Qi); deficiency of Ying leads to insufficient Blood; insufficient Blood results in cold in the chest.
[Note] The meaning of this clause is incoherent; it must be due to disordered bamboo slips.

The pulse at the Fu Yang (Yangming channel point) is floating (Fu, indicating exterior or deficiency) and choppy (Se, indicating stagnation or blood deficiency). Floating indicates deficiency; deficiency injures the Spleen. When the Spleen is injured, it fails to digest food; food eaten in the morning is vomited in the evening, and food eaten in the evening is vomited in the morning; the undigested food remains unchanged. This is called Wei Fan (Stomach Reversal, characterized by delayed gastric emptying and vomiting of undigested food). If the pulse is tight (Jin) and choppy, the disease is difficult to treat.
[Note] The character "deficiency" (Xu) in "deficiency injures the Spleen" should be "choppy" (Se), which is a transcription error.
[Annotation] In the previous clause, Wei Fan was caused by mistaken purgation, so the pulse was wiry (Xian); in this clause, Wei Fan was not caused by mistaken purgation, so the pulse is floating and choppy. A floating and choppy pulse at Fu Yang: floating is used to assess the Stomach, choppy to assess the Spleen; floating without strength indicates Stomach deficiency, choppy without strength indicates Spleen injury. With Stomach deficiency and Spleen injury, water and grain cannot be digested, hence morning food is vomited in the evening and evening food in the morning; all vomited matter is undigested old food, thus called Wei Fan. If the pulse is tight and choppy, it indicates excess pathogen and deficient righteous Qi. Therefore, the disease is difficult to treat.
[Collected Notes] Xu Bin said: Tightness indicates excess cold, choppyness indicates exhaustion of fluids; righteous Qi cannot overcome the pathogen, hence it is said: difficult to treat.

For patients with Wei Fan and vomiting, Da Ban Xia Tang (Large Pinellia Decoction) is the primary formula.
[Annotation] This follows the previous clause to clarify the treatment. Wei Fan vomiting refers to the vomiting where morning food is vomited in the evening and evening food in the morning. Using Da Ban Xia Tang as the main treatment aims to tonify the Spleen and Stomach and stop vomiting.
Da Ban Xia Tang Formula
Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma, washed, 2 sheng) Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, 3 liang) Bai Mi (White Honey, 1 sheng)
Take the above three ingredients, add 12 dou of water and honey, stir two hundred and forty times, decoct to obtain 1.5 sheng of liquid. Take warm, 1 sheng per dose, divide the remainder into two doses.
Qian Jin Fang states: Da Ban Xia Tang treats Wei Fan where the patient cannot tolerate food intake and vomits immediately after eating.
Wai Tai Mi Yao states: Da Ban Xia Tang treats vomiting and epigastric fullness/stiffness.
[Collected Explanations] Gao Shishi said: Morning food vomited in the evening, undigested food, is called Wei Fan. Wei Fan involves only vomiting, not retching, but vomiting is inseparable from retching, hence "Wei Fan vomiting." Ban Xia aids dryness to digest grain; Ren Shen tonifies Yuan Qi to calm the Stomach; mixing white honey with water and stirring disperses the sweet flavor. Water becomes gentle with honey, and honey becomes light and penetrating with water, thereby calming Wei Fan and curing vomiting.
Li Shengxi said: Vomiting patients generally avoid sweet flavors; why use white honey here? One must understand that this Wei Fan belongs to Spleen deficiency. As the classics state, sweet flavor enters the Spleen, satisfying its preference. Moreover, the sovereign herb is Ban Xia, pungent to stop vomiting; the assistant is Ren Shen, warming Qi and tonifying the Middle Jiao. Thus, Wei Fan stops naturally.

For Wei Fan with vomiting, thirst, and desire to drink water, Fu Ling Ze Xie Tang (Poria and Alisma Decoction) is the primary formula.
[Annotation] Wei Fan vomiting without thirst indicates cold; thirst and desire to drink indicate fluid retention. Therefore, Fu Ling Ze Xie Tang is used to tonify Yang and promote diuresis.
Fu Ling Ze Xie Tang Formula
Fu Ling (Poria, 8 liang) Ze Xie (Alismatis Rhizoma, 4 liang) Gan Cao (Licorice Root, 2 liang) Gui Zhi (Cinnamon Twig, 2 liang) Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, 3 liang) Sheng Jiang (Fresh Ginger, 4 liang)
Take the above six ingredients, add 10 dou of water, decoct to obtain 3 sheng. Add Ze Xie, decoct again to obtain 2.5 sheng. Take warm, 0.8 sheng per dose, three times daily.
Wai Tai Mi Yao states: Fu Ling Ze Xie Tang treats Xiao Ke (Wasting-Thirst), Wei Fan, and absent pulse.
[Collected Explanations] Li said: Vomiting with thirst indicates loss of body fluids and Stomach deficiency-dryness. Drinking water causes fluid retention in the heart/lower chest area. Fu Ling and Ze Xie descend Qi and move fluids; Bai Zhu tonifies the Spleen and generates fluids. This reflects the principle of Wu Ling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria). However, Wei Fan is due to Spleen Qi deficiency and rebellion, so Sheng Jiang is added to scatter rebellion, and Gan Cao harmonizes the Spleen. Wu Ling San uses Gui Zhi for external slight heat. Here, there is no external heat, yet Gui Zhi is used because Gui Zhi is not solely an exterior-releasing drug; it penetrates upper and lower, reaches interior and exterior, and serves as an agent to circulate body fluids, harmonize Yang, and dissipate water.
You Yi said: Fu Ling Ze Xie Tang treats cases where vomiting has not ceased and there is thirst/desire to drink. Since vomiting persists, the pathogen remains; thus, Gui Zhi, Gan Cao, and Sheng Jiang are used to scatter pathogenic Qi, while Fu Ling and Ze Xie eliminate fluid accumulation.

For hiccups/reverse qi (Yue Ni), Ju Pi Zhu Ru Tang (Tangerine Peel and Bamboo Shavings Decoction) is the primary formula.
[Annotation] Yue refers to dry heaves/hiccups. Because there is a sound but no other matter expelled, it is called Yue Ni rather than dry heaves; it belongs to rebellious ascending Qi. Ascending Qi exiting through upper orifices produces sound. Lung deficiency with ascending Qi causes coughing (sound from throat); if obstructed by pathogen, it causes wheezing/fullness without sound. Stomach deficiency with ascending Qi causes Yue (sound from pharynx). If凝 with matter, it causes palpitations/pain without sound. Thus, it is clearly a Qi disorder. Where pathogens gather, righteous Qi is necessarily deficient. Therefore, Ju Pi, Zhu Ru, and Sheng Jiang are used to clear pathogenic Qi, while Ren Shen, Gan Cao, and Da Zao tonify righteous Qi, allowing rebellious Qi to descend smoothly.
Ju Pi Zhu Ru Tang Formula
Ju Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, 2 jin) Zhu Ru (Bambusae Caulis in Taenia, 2 sheng) Da Zao (Ziziphi Jujubae Fructus, 30 pieces) Sheng Jiang (Fresh Ginger, 0.5 jin) Gan Cao (Licorice Root, 5 liang) Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, 1 liang)
Take the above six ingredients, add 10 dou of water, decoct to obtain 3 sheng. Take warm, 1 sheng per dose, three times daily.
[Collected Explanations] Li said: Yue can belong to Stomach cold or Stomach heat. This Yue Ni is caused by deficiency-heat in the Stomach and rebellious Qi. Thus, Ren Shen, Gan Cao, and Da Zao tonify deficiency; Ju Pi and Sheng Jiang scatter rebellion; Zhu Ru is sweet and cold, soothing rebellious Qi and clearing Stomach heat, serving as the sovereign herb.
You Yi said: Stomach deficiency allows heat to invade, causing Yue Ni. Ju Pi and Sheng Jiang harmonize the Stomach and scatter rebellion; Zhu Ru eliminates heat and stops vomiting/Yue; Ren Shen, Gan Cao, and Da Zao tonify deficiency and stabilize the Middle Jiao.

For dry heaves/Yue with cold extremities, Ju Pi Tang (Tangerine Peel Decoction) is the primary formula.
[Annotation] Dry heaves/Yue implies dry heaves, i.e., Yue. Dong Yuan considered dry heaves mild and Yue severe, recognizing Zhongjing's wording intent. Yue with cold extremities indicates Stomach Yang deficiency, which is the indication for Wu Zhu Yu Tang. If the initial illness presents with both form and Qi being excess, even with cold extremities, it is not comparable to Yang deficiency and Yin excess; rather, it is Qi closure failing to reach the four limbs. Thus, Ju Pi alone is used to unblock Qi, and Sheng Jiang to stop Yue.
[Collected Notes] Cheng Lin said: Dry heaves/Yue means Qi rebels in the chest/diaphragm and does not reach the extremities, causing cold hands/feet. Ju Pi descends rebellious Qi; Sheng Jiang is the holy medicine for vomiting. A small dose harmonizes them. However, dry heaves are not Wei Fan, and cold extremities do not mean absence of Yang; thus, upon ingestion, Qi moves and health returns.
Ju Pi Tang Formula
Ju Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, 4 liang) Sheng Jiang (Fresh Ginger, 0.5 jin)
Take the above two ingredients, add 7 sheng of water, decoct to obtain 3 sheng. Take warm, 1 sheng per dose; health returns upon swallowing.

For Yue with abdominal fullness, observe the anterior (urination) and posterior (defecation) orifices. Knowing which part is obstructed, unblocking it will cure the condition.
[Annotation] Yue belongs to deficiency-pathogen. Yue without abdominal fullness indicates righteous Qi deficiency. With heat, Ju Pi Zhu Ru Tang is used; with cold, Wu Zhu Yu Tang is used. Yue with abdominal fullness indicates excess pathogen. One must examine bowel and bladder movements: if defecation is obstructed, purge it; if urination is obstructed, promote diuresis. This will cure the condition.
[Collected Notes] Zhu Gong said: Anterior obstruction (urinary) treated with Zhu Ling Tang; posterior obstruction (fecal) treated with Tiao Wei Cheng Qi Tang.
Zhao Liang said: Abdominal fullness indicates excess; excess causes Qi to rebel upward producing Yue. Thus, one must observe which orifice is obstructed and unblock it; then fullness resolves and Yue stops.
Wei Litong said: Stomach Qi rebels upward, rushing to produce Yue. Treatment requires observing the anterior and posterior orifices to check bowel/bladder regulation. Anterior obstruction indicates water-pathogen rebellion; promote diuresis to cure Yue. Posterior obstruction indicates heat-excess; promote defecation to cure Yue.

When the Qi of the Six Fu organs fails externally, there is cold extremities, upward rushing Qi, and retracted legs; when the Qi of the Five Zang organs fails internally, there is uncontrollable diarrhea; if severe, there is numbness of extremities.
[Annotation] "Qi failure" here does not mean total collapse, but extreme deficiency. The Qi of the Six Fu organs is Yang; Yang deficiency fails to warm the exterior, causing cold and retraction of extremities. Yang deficiency leads to Yin excess rebelling upward, causing vomiting and Yue. The Qi of the Five Zang organs is Yin; Yin deficiency fails to secure the interior, causing uncontrollable diarrhea. Severe diarrhea leads to central collapse and physical decline, causing numbness of extremities. This elucidates the origins of vomiting and diarrhea.

For diarrhea with undigested food, internal cold with external heat, sweating, and cold extremities, Tong Mai Si Ni Tang (Pulse-Restoring Four-Reversal Decoction) is the primary formula.
[Annotation] Diarrhea with undigested food indicates internal cold. External heat, sweating, and cold extremities indicate Yang collapse. Tong Mai Si Ni Tang is used to restore Yang and overcome cold, stopping diarrhea.
Tong Mai Si Ni Tang Formula
Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, raw, large piece, 1) Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, 3 liang, 4 liang for strong constitutions) Gan Cao (Licorice Root, prepared, 2 liang)
Take the above three ingredients, add 3 sheng of water, decoct to obtain 1.2 sheng. Remove dregs, divide into two warm doses.

For diarrhea with cold extremities and absent pulse, moxibustion fails to warm; if the pulse does not return and slight panting occurs, death ensues. If Shao Yin (Kidney) pulse is weaker than Fu Yang (Yangming) pulse, it is a favorable sign.
[Note] The phrase "If Shao Yin is weaker than Fu Yang, it is favorable" following "slight panting indicates death" is incoherent; its explanation is detailed in Shang Han Lun · Bian Mai Pian, so it is not repeated here.
[Annotation] Diarrhea with cold extremities and absent pulse represents a syndrome of Yin without Yang. Although Li Zhong Wan or Si Ni Tang might be used, their action may be too slow. Urgent moxibustion below the umbilicus is needed to unblock Yang. If the pulse returns and extremities warm, survival is expected. If the pulse does not return, extremities remain cold, and slight panting occurs, it indicates Yang collapsing upward, leading to death.
[Collected Notes] Cheng Lin said: Diarrhea progressing to cold extremities and absent pulse indicates solitary Yin without Yang. Moxibustion restores Yang. If pulse remains absent and slight panting occurs, righteous Qi collapses upward, leaving solitary Yang without root, leading to death.

For diarrhea accompanied by flatus (Qi Li), promoting diuresis is indicated.
[Annotation] Diarrhea with flatus: initially, Qi is stagnant in the Large Intestine and does not diffuse outward, with water-Qi moving downward together. Promoting diuresis opens the drainage pathways; once Qi circulates, diarrhea stops. In chronic cases, Qi sinks in the Large Intestine and fails to rise; treatment should combine lifting/tonifying with promoting diuresis.
[Collected Notes] You Yi said: Diarrhea with flatus means Qi is lost with the stool, known as Qi Li.

For Qi Li, He Li Le San (Terminalia Powder) is the primary formula.
[Annotation] Qi Li: if the expelled gas is foul-smelling and the stool is thick/sticky, it indicates Qi stagnation and lack of circulation; purging or promoting diuresis may be used. If the gas is odorless and stool non-sticky, it indicates Qi sinking and intestinal sliding; He Li Le San is used to secure the intestine, or Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang to lift the sinking.
He Li Le San Formula
He Li Le (Terminalia Chebulae Fructus, roasted, 10 pieces)
Grind the single ingredient into powder. Mix with rice gruel and take in one dose.
[Collected Explanations] Li said: Qi Li is diarrhea due to Qi deficiency, sinking, and sliding. He Li Le is astringent and warming, securing the Stomach and intestine. Mixing with rice gruel borrows grain Qi to assist the Stomach. Taking in one dose ensures maximum efficacy.
You Yi said: Qi Li involves simultaneous loss of Qi and stool. He Li Le secures the intestine and regulates Qi; rice gruel calms the Middle and benefits intestines/stomach. Taking in one dose follows the principle of urgent treatment for lower-joint diseases.

If diarrhea presents with a rapid pulse, slight fever, and sweating, recovery is expected. If the pulse is tight, the disease is unresolved.
[Annotation] Rapid pulse in diarrhea indicates internal heat. Slight fever and sweating indicate pathogen decline, hence spontaneous recovery. If the pulse is tight, the exterior pathogen has not declined, so the disease is unresolved.
[Collected Notes] Cheng Lin said: Cold causes diarrhea. Rapid pulse with slight fever indicates resolution of internal cold; sweating indicates harmony of the exterior. With exterior and interior harmonized, recovery is expected. If the pulse becomes tight again, cold pathogen remains, indicating unresolved disease.

For diarrhea with slight fever, thirst, and weak pulse, recovery is expected.
[Annotation] High fever and thirst in diarrhea indicate excess pathogen; weak pulse indicates deficient righteous Qi; recovery is unlikely. Here, slight fever/thirst and weak pulse indicate both pathogen and righteous Qi are declining, hence recovery is expected.
[Collected Notes] Cheng Lin said: High fever/thickness leans toward Yang; no fever/no thirst leans toward Yin; neither recovers easily. Slight fever/thirst indicates Yin-Yang harmony; weak pulse indicates pathogen departure, hence spontaneous recovery.

For diarrhea with a rapid pulse and thirst, recovery is expected. If it does not improve, pus and blood will appear in the stool due to heat.
[Annotation] This continues the previous clause regarding unresolved disease despite declining pathogen/righteous Qi. If it does not improve, the exterior is harmonized, heat subsides, but persistent thirst/rapid pulse indicates lingering internal heat, leading to pus/blood in stool.
[Collected Notes] Wei Litong said: In diarrhea, surplus Yang is auspicious, but excessive heat damages Yin, causing Yang restoration to become excessive.

For diarrhea, if the Cun pulse is unexpectedly floating and rapid, and Chi pulse is inherently choppy, pus and blood will appear in the stool.
[Annotation] This continues the theme of unresolved disease despite apparent harmony. Diarrhea is an interior disease, yet a floating/rapid exterior pulse appears, hence "unexpectedly floating/rapid." However, the inherently choppy Chi pulse indicates heat trapped in the Blood level, leading to pus/blood in stool.
[Collected Notes] Xu Bin said: Diarrhea belongs to cold, pulse should be deep/slow. Unexpectedly floating/rapid indicates Yang excess. Choppy Chi pulse indicates Yang pathogen entering Yin; this also indicates excess heat. Hence, pus/blood in stool is certain.
Cheng Lin said: Floating/rapid Cun pulse indicates heat excess; inherently choppy Chi pulse indicates Blood deficiency. Heat excess combined with Blood deficiency leads to pus/blood in stool.

For diarrhea, if all three pulses (Cun, Guan, Chi) are normal, but pressure on the epigastrium reveals hardness, urgent purging is required using Da Cheng Qi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction).
[Annotation] Patients with diarrhea having epigastric hardness usually indicate Xie Xin Tang patterns. However, if all three pulses are normal and forceful, despite diarrhea, aggressive purging is indicated.
[Collected Explanations] Li said: Diarrhea with epigastric hardness indicates excess. If the pulse were weak, purging would be contraindicated. Now, with normal pulses throughout, interior deficiency is ruled out, warranting urgent purging. This is a method of diagnosing based on pulse and symptoms.
Da Cheng Qi Tang Formula (See Jing Bing section)

For diarrhea, if the pulse is slow and slippery, it indicates excess; diarrhea will not cease until purged. Use Da Cheng Qi Tang urgently.
[Annotation] A pulse cannot be both slow and slippery simultaneously. It refers to superficial slowness and deep slipperiness. Superficial slowness indicates exterior harmony; deep slipperiness indicates interior excess. To stop diarrhea caused by interior excess, purging is required; once accumulation is removed, diarrhea stops. Use Da Cheng Qi Tang.
[Collected Notes] You Yi said: Slow pulse indicates cold, but combined with slipperiness, it indicates excess, not cold. Interior accumulation obstructs pulse flow, causing slowness. Diarrhea caused by excess will not stop until excess is removed; thus, urgent purging is indicated.

For diarrhea, if the pulse is unexpectedly slippery, there is likely accumulation to be removed. Purging will cure it. Use Da Cheng Qi Tang.
[Annotation] An unexpectedly slippery pulse in diarrhea indicates a mismatch between deficiency disease and excess pulse. If the patient's constitution and appetite remain normal, it suggests retained accumulation that needs removal. Purging will cure it. Use Da Cheng Qi Tang.
[Collected Notes] Zhao Liang said: Diarrhea is a deficiency syndrome; slippery pulse is an excess pulse. Seeing an excess pulse in a deficiency syndrome indicates something must be removed.
Cheng Lin said: The classics state: slipperiness indicates retained food. Thus, purging is required, and diarrhea will stop.

If diarrhea has healed but recurs at specific years, months, days, or hours, it is because the disease root remains. Purging is indicated using Da Cheng Qi Tang.
[Annotation] Recurrence of diarrhea after healing, at specific time cycles, is due to incomplete removal of retained food/accumulation. If the patient's constitution and appetite remain strong, attacking the remaining accumulation prevents recurrence. Use Da Cheng Qi Tang.
[Collected Notes] Shen Mingzong said: This is the recurrence of old accumulated pathogen. After healing, recurrence at specific times indicates residual pathogen hidden in the intestines, triggered by organ command periods. Since the hidden root remains, complete cure is impossible without removing it; thus, Da Cheng Qi Tang is used to swiftly eliminate it.

For diarrhea with delirium, there is dry fecal impaction. Xiao Cheng Qi Tang (Minor Order the Qi Decoction) is the primary formula.
[Annotation] Diarrhea is an interior deficiency syndrome; delirium is an interior excess syndrome. How to determine dry fecal impaction? Slippery/rapid pulse indicates retained food; foul/sticky stool indicates accumulated heat. Only with such pulse-symptom correspondence can dry fecal impaction be confirmed. Purge with Xiao Cheng Qi Tang. From this, we infer that dry fecal impaction is not defined merely by hard stool.
[Collected Notes] Li said: The classics state: excess causes delirium. Thus, dry fecal impaction warrants purging.
Xiao Cheng Qi Tang Formula
Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, 4 liang) Hou Po (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex, prepared, 3 liang) Zhi Shi (Immature Bitter Orange, prepared, 3 large pieces)
Take the above three ingredients, add 4 sheng of water, decoct to obtain 1.2 sheng. Remove dregs, divide into two warm doses. Stop when bowel movement occurs.

For diarrhea, if the pulse is unexpectedly wiry, with fever and sweating, recovery is expected.
[Annotation] Diarrhea is a Spleen disease. Wiry pulse is a Liver pulse; Spleen disease should not present with wiry pulse, hence "unexpectedly wiry." Diarrhea is an interior disease; fever is an exterior symptom. Fever with sweating indicates exterior-interior harmony; even with a wiry pulse, recovery is expected.

For diarrhea, a deep-wiry pulse indicates tenesmus; a large pulse indicates the disease has not stopped; a weak-rapid pulse indicates impending cessation. Even with fever, death is not imminent.
[Annotation] Deep indicates interior; wiry indicates urgency. Tenesmus (heavy sensation in rectum). Deep-wiry pulse in diarrhea indicates interior urgency and tenesmus. In dysentery, fever with large pulse indicates excess pathogen and ongoing disease. Weak-rapid pulse indicates declining pathogen and impending cessation; even with fever, death is avoided. From this, we know that large pulse with high fever indicates death.

For heat-diarrhea with tenesmus, Bai Tou Weng Tang (Pulsatilla Decoction) is the primary formula.
[Annotation] This follows the previous clause to clarify treatment. Pus/blood in stool, tenesmus, and deep accumulated heat require Bai Tou Weng Tang, which is bitter and cold. Cold overcomes heat; bitterness dries dampness. Once damp-heat is eliminated, tenesmus resolves.
[Collected Notes] Cheng Lin said: Heat-diarrhea with tenesmus indicates heat forcing the intestines/stomach. Bitterness is needed to firm the Lower Jiao; coldness is needed to remove heat. The addition of "heat" distinguishes it from the previous cold-diarrhea.
You Yi said: This syndrome involves damp-heat pouring downward. Bai Tou Weng Tang is used: bitterness to drain dampness, coldness to overcome heat.
Bai Tou Weng Tang Formula
Bai Tou Weng (Pulsatillae Radix) Huang Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma) Huang Bo (Phellodendri Cortex) Qin Pi (Fraxini Cortex) (each 3 liang)
Take the above four ingredients, add 7 sheng of water, decoct to obtain 2 sheng. Remove dregs. Take warm, 1 sheng per dose. If not cured, take again.

For diarrhea with pus/blood in stool, Tao Hua Tang (Peach Blossom Decoction) is the primary formula.
[Annotation] For acute diarrhea with pus/blood, Da Cheng Qi Tang or Shao Yao Tang may be used to purge. For excess heat, Bai Tou Weng Tang clears it. For chronic cases with sliding/incontinence, Tao Hua Tang nourishes the intestine and secures leakage.
Tao Hua Tang Formula
Chi Shi Zhi (Halloysit Rubra, half crushed, half powdered, 1 jin) Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, 1 liang) Jing Mi (Oryza Sativa, 1 sheng)
Take the above three ingredients, add 7 sheng of water, cook rice until soft. Remove dregs. Take warm, 0.7 sheng per dose. Add 1 cubic inch of Chi Shi Zhi powder. Three times daily. If cured after one dose, do not take the rest.
