传曰∶土浓水深,居之不疾。故人居处随其方所,皆欲土浓水深。土欲坚润而黄,水欲甘美而澄。
常居之室,极令周密,勿有细隙,致风气得入,久居善中人。风者天地之气也,能生成万物,亦能
损人。初入腠理之间,渐至肌肤之内,内传经脉,达于脏腑,传变既广,为患则深。故古人云∶避
风如避矢。盛暑久坐两头通屋,大招风,夹道尤甚。盛暑不可露卧。自立春后至立秋前,欲东其首;
立秋后至立春前,欲西其首。常枕药枕,胜于宝玉,宝玉大冷伤脑。其枕,药性大热则热气冲上,大
冷又冷气伤脑。唯用理风平凉者,乃为得宜。

上(前)件药细锉,去碎末,相伴令匀。以生绢囊盛之,欲达其气。次用碧罗袋重盛,缝之如
枕样,纳药直令紧实,置在合子中。其合形也如枕,纳药囊令出合子唇一寸半以来。欲枕时揭去合盖,
不枕即盖之,使药气不散。枕之日久渐低,更入药以实之,或添黑豆令如初。三、五月后,药气歇则换之。
初枕旬日或一月,耳中微鸣,是药抽风之验。
古语说:“土壤深厚、水源充沛,居住在那里就不会生病。”因此,人们选择居所时,无论方位如何,都应当追求土厚水深。土壤要坚实湿润且呈黄色,水要甘甜清澈。
经常居住的居室,务必严密周全,不要有细小的缝隙,以免风邪侵入。风邪长期滞留容易伤害人体。风是天地之气,既能生成万物,也能损害人。风邪初起进入腠理(皮肤纹理及汗孔)之间,逐渐深入肌肤之内,进而内传经脉,到达脏腑。一旦传变广泛,造成的危害就深远。所以古人说:“避风就像躲避箭矢一样重要。”盛夏时节久坐两头通透的房屋,极易招致风邪,夹道之风尤其严重。盛夏不可露天睡觉。从立春后到立秋前,睡觉时头部宜朝东;立秋后到立春前,头部宜朝西。常枕药枕,胜过玉石枕头,因为玉石太冷会损伤脑部。如果药性大热,热气会上冲头部;药性太冷,冷气又会伤脑。只有使用具有疏风、平肝、清凉性质的药材,才最为适宜。

将上述药材细细切碎,去除碎末,混合均匀。用生绢袋装好,以便散发药气。再用碧罗袋双层包裹,缝制成枕头形状,填入药物使其紧实,放入特制的盒子中。这个盒子的形状像枕头,装入药袋后,让药袋露出盒子边缘一寸半左右。想要睡觉时揭开盒盖,不睡时就盖上,使药气不散。枕头日久会逐渐塌陷,再补充药物使其饱满,或者添加黑豆使其恢复如初。三到五个月后,药气消散则更换新药。刚开始佩戴十几天或一个月,耳朵里轻微鸣响,这是药物抽取风邪的验证。
It is said in ancient texts: "Where the soil is thick and the water deep, one dwells without illness." Therefore, wherever people choose to reside, they should seek places with thick soil and abundant water. The soil should be firm, moist, and yellow; the water should be sweet, clear, and pure.
Living quarters should be extremely well-sealed, without any small gaps, to prevent wind pathogens from entering. Long-term exposure to wind easily harms the human body. Wind is the Qi of Heaven and Earth; it can generate all things, but it can also damage them. Initially, wind enters between the Couli (skin texture and pores), gradually penetrating into the muscles and skin, then transmitting internally through the meridians to reach the Zang-Fu organs. Once the transmission becomes widespread, the resulting harm is profound. Thus, the ancients said: "Avoid wind as if avoiding arrows." Sitting for long periods in houses open at both ends during the height of summer greatly attracts wind, especially in narrow alleys. One should not sleep outdoors exposed to the air during the hottest months. From after Lichun (Start of Spring) until before Liqiu (Start of Autumn), one's head should face East when sleeping; from after Liqiu until before Lichun, the head should face West. Frequently using herbal pillows is superior to jade pillows, as jade is too cold and damages the brain. If the herbs are excessively hot, the heat will rush upward; if excessively cold, the cold will injure the brain. Only those that regulate wind, calm the liver, and provide a cooling effect are appropriate.
(Long-term use treats Head Wind, dizziness, heaviness of the brain, cold pain, dim vision, nasal congestion, and helps ward off evil influences.)

Finely chop the aforementioned ingredients, remove fine dust/powder, and mix evenly. Place them in a raw silk bag to allow the aroma to diffuse. Then, double-wrap this in a green silk bag, sewing it into a pillow shape. Fill tightly with the herbs and place inside a special box. The box is shaped like a pillow; insert the herb bag so that it protrudes from the rim of the box by about one cun and half. When ready to sleep, lift the lid; otherwise, keep it covered to prevent the medicinal Qi from dissipating. Over time, the pillow will compress; replenish with more herbs or add black beans to restore its original volume. After three to five months, when the medicinal scent fades, replace the contents. Within ten days or a month of initial use, slight ringing in the ears may occur, which is a sign that the medicine is extracting wind pathogens.
