Formulas for treating Shi Jue (a condition resembling death, characterized by cold extremities and loss of consciousness, with the body appearing like a corpse): The patient presents with cold extremities resembling death, unconsciousness, and residual Qi in the epigastrium. This is the moxibustion method of Bian Que.
Wrap a rope around the patient's wrist; for males, use the left hand; for females, use the right hand. Measure from above the Dazhui point (GV14) down to below, and apply fifty moxa cones on the spine at the lower end of the rope. (From *Yi Xin Fang*, Vol. 14)
Another formula:
Apply one hundred moxa cones one cun below the scrotum towards the anus. For females, apply between the two breasts. (From *Yi Xin Fang*, Vol. 14)
Yet another formula:
Blow powder of Rhizoma Acori Tatarinowii (Changpu) into the nostrils and place powder of Cinnamomi Ramulus (Guizhi) under the tongue. It is said that this was the method used by Bian Que to treat the King of Chu. (From *Yi Xin Fang*, Vol. 14)
Formula for treating sudden Nightmare (Zhan), where sleep persists without waking:
Poke the hair of a brush into both nostrils; for males, use the left side; for females, use the right side. Move it back and forth repeatedly until extraction or stimulation occurs. (From *Waitai Miyao*, Vol. 28)
Another formula:
Crush Allium macrostemon (Xie) to extract juice and blow it into both nostrils. In winter, take Chinese chives, wring out the juice, and pour it into the mouth. (From *Waitai Miyao*, Vol. 28)
Formula for treating sudden Nightmare:
Drink salt water, with the quantity determined by circumstances. Simultaneously, bite the edge of the nail on the big toe; upon feeling pain, the person will wake up. (From *Waitai Miyao*, Vol. 28)
Another formula:
Place the patient on the ground. Take a sharp knife and draw a line starting from the shoulder; for males, use the left side; for females, use the right side. Draw a complete circle on the ground. Then, pierce the Renzhong point (DU26) located below the nose with the knife tip, inserting it one fen deep. Hold it firmly without moving. The patient may speak as if possessed by ghosts, begging to leave. Ask who they are and why they came; they will naturally beg to depart. Then, use your finger to erase the few inches of the drawn line near the shoulder head, allowing them to leave. (From *Waitai Miyao*, Vol. 28)
Another formula:
Take realgar (Xionghuang) the size of a jujube pit, tie it under the left armpit, so that the person never suffers from nightmares again in their lifetime. (From *Waitai Miyao*, Vol. 28)
Another formula:
Sift realgar (Xionghuang) finely and blow it into both nostrils using a tube for best results. (From *Waitai Miyao*, Vol. 28)
Formula for treating sudden Nightmare leading to near-death:
Crush fresh Chinese chives to extract juice and pour it into the nostrils. For severe cases, also pour it into both ears. (From *Yi Xin Fang*, Vol. 14)
Formula for Fei Shi (Flying Corpse, a wandering pathogenic factor), Gou Di San (Melon Peduncle Powder):
Gou Di (Cucumeris Fructus), Xiaodou (Phaseoli Semen Rubrum) (each 1 fen); Xionghuang (Realgar) (2 fen, ground).
Grind these three ingredients together and sift finely. Administer 5 fen bi (a small measuring spoon) per dose, gradually increasing to half a qian bi. Take with whey/cheese liquid. (From *Waitai Miyao*, Vol. 13)
Formula for Dun Shi (Hidden Corpse, latent pathogenic factor), causing unbearable stabbing pain in the heart and abdomen:
Guixin (Cinnamomi Cortex), Qiangyi (one chi, equivalent to 1 liang); Ganjiang (Dried Ginger) (3 fen); Badou (Crotonis Fructus) (2 seeds, peeled, pith removed, and roasted).
Grind these three ingredients together and sift. Mix with good vinegar to form a paste. Apply to the painful area; replace when dry. Avoid wild boar meat, reeds, and bamboo shoots. (From *Waitai Miyao*, Vol. 13)
Formula for Shi Zhu (Corpse Transmission, a contagious wasting disease):
Shao Fa Hui (Ash of Burned Hair); Xingren (Armeniacae Semen Amarum), roasted until purple, equal parts.
Grind these two ingredients into a fatty consistency. Mix with suet (pig fat) and form pills the size of wu zi (wu berry). Take three pills per dose, three times daily. Highly effective. (From *Waitai Miyao*, Vol. 13)
