滚痰丸（《养生主论》） 痰之为病，或偏头风，或雷头风，或太阳头痛，眩晕如坐舟车，
精神恍惚。或口眼 动，或眉棱耳叶俱痒。或颔腮四肢游风肿硬，似疼非疼。或浑身燥痒，
搔之则瘾疹随生，皮毛烘热，色如锦斑。或齿颊似痒似痛，而疼无定所，满口牙浮，痛
痒不一。或嗳气吞酸，鼻闻焦臭，喉间豆腥气，心烦鼻塞，咽嗌不利，咯之不出，咽之
不下，或因喷嚏而出，或因举动而唾，其痰如墨，又如破絮，或如桃胶，或如蚬肉；或
心下如停冰铁，闭滞妨闷，嗳嚏连声，状如膈气。或寝梦刑戮，刀兵剑戟。或梦入人家，
四壁围绕，暂得一窦，百计得出，则不知何所。或梦在烧人，地上四面烟火，枯骨焦气
扑鼻，无路可出。或不因触发，忿怒悲啼雨泪而寤。或时郊行，忽见天边两月交辉，或
见金光数道，回头无有。或足膝酸软，或骨节腰肾疼痛，呼吸难任。或四肢肌骨间痛如
击戳，乍起乍止，并无常所。或不时手臂麻疼，状如风湿。或卧如芒刺不安，或如毛虫
所螫。或四肢不举，或手足重滞。或眼如姜蜇，胶粘痒涩，开合甚难。或阴晴交变之时，
胸痞气结，闭而不发，则齿痒咽痛，口糜舌烂，及其奋然而发，则喷嚏连声，初则涕唾

理不密，风府受邪，或曰上盛下虚，或曰虚，或曰寒，或曰发邪。惟洞虚子备此疾苦，乃
能治疗。病势之来，则胸腹间如有二气交纽，噎塞烦郁，有如烟火上冲，头面烘热，眼花
耳鸣，痰涎涕泪，并从肺胃间涌起，凛然毛竖，喷嚏千百，然后遍身烦躁，则去衣冻体，
稍止片时。或春秋乍凉之时，多加衣衾，亦得暂缓。或顿饮冰水而定，或痛饮一醉而宁，
终不能逐去病根。乃得神秘沉香丸方，屡获大效，愈人数万，但不欲轻传匪人，故以隐
语括之。诗曰∶甑里翻身甲带金，于今头戴草堂深，相逢二八求斤正，硝 青礞倍若沉。

大小虚实，心疼连腹，身体羸瘦，发时必呕绿水黑汁冷涎，乃至气绝，心下温暖者，量
虚实加减服之。若事属不虞之际，至于百丸，即便回生。未至颠危者，虚弱疑似之间，只
服三十丸或五十丸，立见生意，然后续续进之，以瘥为度。兼服生津化痰，温中理气之
药。一切荏苒疾病，凡男妇患非伤寒内外等证，或酒色过度，或吐血，或月事愆期，心
烦志乱，或腹胀胁痛，劳倦痰眩，或暴行日中，因暑伏痰，口眼 斜，目痛耳愦鼻塞，骨
节酸疼，干呕恶心，诸般内外疼痛，百药无效，众医不识者，根据前法加减服之效。大抵
服药，须临卧在床，用熟水一口许咽下便卧，令药在喉膈间，徐徐而下。如日间病出不测，
疼痛不可忍，必欲急除者，须是一根据前卧法服，大半日不可食汤水，及不可起身行坐言
语，真候药丸除逐上焦痰滞恶物过膈入腹，然后动作，方能中病，每夜须连进二次，次日
痰物既下三五次者，仍服前数，下五七次，或直下二三次，而病势顿已者，次夜减二十丸。
头夜所服并不下恶物者，次夜加十丸，人壮病实者，多加至百丸，惟候虚实消息之。或
服过仰卧，咽喉稠粘，壅塞不利者，痰气泛上，乃药病相攻之故也。少顷药力既胜，自
然宁贴。往往病久结实于肺胃之间，或只暴病全无泛滥者，服药下咽即仰卧，顿然百骸
安静，五脏清宁，次早先去大便一次，其余遍数皆是痰涕恶物，看甚么粪，用水搅之，尽
是痰片粘涎。或稍稍腹痛，腰肾拘急者，盖有一种顽痰恶物，闭气滑肠，里急后重者，状
如痢疾，片晌即已。若有痰涎易下者，快利不可胜言，顿然满口生津，百骸爽快。间有
片时倦怠者，盖因连日病苦不安，一时为药力所胜，气体暂和，如醉得醒，如浴方出，如
睡方起，此药并不洞泄，刮肠大泻，但取痰积恶物自肠胃次第而下，腹中糟粕，并不相
伤，其推下腹之粪，则药力所到之处，是故先去其粪。其余详悉，不能备述，服者当自知之。

The pushing down of abdominal feces, where drug power reaches, thus removes feces first. Remaining details cannot be fully described, users know themselves.
