Walnuts, with skin, are pounded into a paste, mixed with a small amount of rock sugar (Bing Tang), and prepared by pouring boiling water over them and steaming. Taking this several times is extremely effective. Alternatively, following the prescriptions for Sudou Yin (Sudou Decoction) or Mahuang Wan (Ephedra Pills) below is also excellent.
Boil true dried persimmons (Zhen Shibi) in water and drink the decoction. Or, boil leaves of Platycladus orientalis (Bianbai Ye) with tofu and eat; this is extremely effective.
Another prescription: Bada Xingren (Almonds, specifically *Prunus armeniaca* var. ansu) 1 liang (do not use double-kernel almonds). Soak them, remove the skin and tips. Using a new mortar and pestle, pound the almonds into a mud-like paste. Divide into three doses. For each dose, add 3 qian of rock sugar. Place all ingredients in a lidded bowl, pour in boiling water, cover for a moment, wait until warm, and consume together with the almond residue. Take once in the morning and once in the evening. After several doses, it will heal. This is even more effective for coughs caused by autumn dryness-heat. If almonds are boiled as a decoction, it is ineffective.
Following either of the two Mahuang prescriptions below is most effective.
Dry Platycladus orientalis leaves (Bianbai Ye) in the shade, add seven red dates (Hong Zao), and decoct into a strong tea substitute. Drink frequently. Avoid meat, fish, and fried foods. Additionally, take 4 liang of Lily Bulb (Bai He) and 4 qian of rock sugar, steam and take morning and evening without interruption. Mild cases heal in ten days; severe cases heal naturally in half a month. An elderly person who had suffered from cough for over thirty years took this for more than a month and was completely cured. It is incredibly effective; do not underestimate it.
Another prescription: Sudou Yin: Seven purple perilla calyces (Zisu Dou). Decoct into a strong juice. Mix with egg and take morning and evening. Even for coughs lasting decades, it works miraculously.
Another prescription: Ephedra Herb (Mahuang) 1 qian. Decoct into a strong liquid (one bowl), strain, add 2 liang of rock sugar, and boil until it forms beads when dropped in water. Form into pills the size of lotus seeds. Take two or three pills at a time, several times a day. Cure upon finishing the course. Especially effective for cough with wheezing and inability to lie flat.
Another prescription: For treating cough with wheezing: Clean Ephedra Herb (Mahuang), pericarpium of red date (Hongzaopi), Southern mint (Nan Bohe) each 5 fen; Upper cinnamon bark (Shangbian Gui), Perilla Leaf (Zisuye), Mulberry Root Bark (Sangbaipi), Apricot Seed (Xingren, skin and tip removed), Areca Peel (Dafupi) each 4 fen; Honey-fried Licorice Root (Zhigancao) 6 fen. Decoct in water and take. Use with confidence; it is one hundred percent effective.
Another prescription: Realgar (Xionghuang) 1 qian, finely ground. Three sheets of yellow paper. Use egg white to mix the realgar evenly and spread onto the yellow paper. Dry, roll into a red tube, insert into a pen tube or tobacco pipe, ignite, and inhale the smoke like smoking. Soon after, vomiting occurs, and cough stops. Once a day. Fast from all other foods for seven days, eating only white rice porridge. This is from Sun Simiao's "Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold" (Qianjin Fang). It is extraordinarily effective; do not underestimate it. If the smell is unpleasant, eating boiled pork can resolve it.
Another prescription: One pig lung (not exposed to water). Remove the heart. Pour about one teacup of sesame oil into the bronchial tubes, tie the end of the tube with thread, and place in a clay pot... [Text cuts off]
