Jiaofu San (Pepper and Aconite Powder) [from *Benshi Fang*] Indicated for tendon pain in the neck radiating to the back and thighs, with inability to move.
Large Prepared Aconiti Radix (Da Fuzi, 大附子) (one piece, weighing over 6 qian, processed, skin and umbilicus removed, powdered).
Take two large qian of the above powder, along with twenty grains of good Sichuan pepper (Chuanjiao, 川椒). Fill the hollows of the pepper grains with white flour. Add one and a half zhan of water and seven slices of fresh ginger. Decoct together until only 0.7 zhan remains. Remove the pepper, add salt, and take on an empty stomach. A relative of mine suffered from this condition; various medicines were ineffective. Recalling a syndrome in *Qianjin Sui* where Kidney Qi attacks causing back stiffness, I prescribed this formula. One dose resulted in recovery.
Mugua Jian (Papaya Electrolyte/Paste) [from *Benshi Fang*]
Chaenomeles Fruit (Mugua, 木瓜) (two pieces, lid cut off, pulp removed), Myrrha (Moyao, 没药) (powdered, 2 liang), Frankincense (Ruxiang, 乳香) (powdered, 2.5 qian).
Place the two resins inside the papaya, cover with the lid, secure with bamboo skewers, and steam over rice three or four times. Grind into a paste. Take 3–5 spoons per dose, dissolved in Di Huang Jiu (Rehmannia Wine). Mix half a zhan of fresh Rehmanniae Radix juice (Shengdihuang Zhi, 生地黄汁) with two zhan of unadulterated wine. Take one-eighth of this mixture, warmed and dissolved, orally.
