彭祖固阳固蒂长生延寿丹( 江吴省斋公赠)
夫人之脐也,受生之初,父精母血相受,凝结胞胎混沌,从太极未分之时,一气分得二穴。穴中如产四穴,
外通二肾,内长赤白二脉。
四穴之中,分为表里,在母腹中,母呼儿呼,母吸儿吸,是一身脐蒂,如花果在枝而通蒂也。一月一周,真气
渐足,既产胎衣未脱,脐带且缓断,倘脐门未闭,感风伤寒,即损婴儿真气。遂以艾火熏蒸数次,则真气无患
矣。三七脐门自闭,惟觉口深,于是阳盛年长,泪于五味,溺于五音,探于五气,外耗精神,内伤生冷,而真
气不得条畅,所以立法蒸脐固蒂,如水灌土培草木,根本自壮茂也。人常根据法熏蒸,则荣卫调和,安定魂魄,
寒暑不侵,身体可健,其中有神妙也。夫肺为五脏之华盖,声音所从生者,皮毛赖之而滋润,肾水由之而生养。
腠理不密,外感内伤乘之,令人咳嗽。外感发散,内伤滋润,又有郁结则当解之。或伤辛燥之药,或未发散而
遂使郁遏之剂,则气不散而滞于肺中,多生粘痰而作喘急咳嗽。或伤房劳饮食。致使吐血,乍寒乍热,耳目
昏昏,身体倦怠拘急,胸满烦闷,饮食少思,精神怯弱等疾作矣。医者可急用保真丸、化痰丸等剂疗之。倘
用之无效,必须根据法熏脐。今将此方药料,开具于后。
麝香 五钱。引诸药入五脏六腑,周彻百节。
丁香 三钱。入肺补血,实脾胃。
青盐 四钱。入肾以实其子,使肺母无泄漏,如乳补下益其气脘。
夜明砂 五钱。透肺孔,补气不足,散内伤有余。

雄黄 三钱。削除病根,扶弱助强。
白附子 五钱。循各经络有推前拽后之功。

五灵脂 五钱。保肺气,削有余,补不足。
槐皮 能闭押诸气之性,使无走窜。
艾叶 取其火热,劫病去毒,起死回生。
上为末,另用白面作条,圈于脐上,将前药一料分为三分,内取一分,先填麝香末五分入脐眼内;又将
前药一分,入面圈内,按药令紧,中插数孔,外用槐皮一片盖于药上,艾火灸之,无时损易,壮其热气,或自
上而下,自下而上,一身热透。患人必倦沉如醉,灸至五六十壮,遍身大汗,上至泥丸宫,下至涌泉穴。如
此,则骨髓风寒暑湿,五劳七伤尽皆拔除。苟不汗则病未愈,再于三五日后又灸,灸至汗出为度。学人虽用小
心灸至百二十壮,则疾必痊。灸时要慎风寒,戒油腻生冷,保养一月以后,愈加精神健旺。若妇人灸脐,去麝,
加韶脑一钱。扁鹊明此二十味浮沉升降,君臣佐使,使其所治劳嗽之疾,无不痊愈,不惟劳疾。凡一年四季各
熏一次,元气坚固,百病不生,及久嗽久喘,吐血寒劳,遗精白浊,阳事不举,下元极弱,精神失常,痰膈等
疾,妇人赤白带下,久无生育,子宫极冷,凡用此灸,则百病顿除,益气延年。
接命丹
养丹田,助两肾,添精补髓,返老还童,却病延年。用大附子一枚,重二两二钱,切作薄片,夏布包定,
以甘草、甘遂各二两捶碎,用烧酒二斤共浸半日,文武火煮,酒干为度。取起附子、草、遂不用,加麝香三分,
捶千余下,分作二丸,阴干,纳一丸于脐中,七日一换。一丸放黑铅盒内养之。
温脐种子方
五灵脂、白芷、青盐(各二钱),麝香(一分)为末,另用荞麦粉水和成条,圈于脐上,以前药实于
脐中。
寻常只用炒盐。又治霍乱欲死及小便不通。如虚冷甚者,加硫黄,入麝香为引。
用艾灸之,妇人尤宜。但觉脐中温暖即止,过数日再灸,太过则生热也。

彭祖固阳固蒂长生延寿丹(由江吴省斋公赠送)
人的肚脐,在生命孕育之初,是父精与母血相互结合、凝结成胞胎混沌状态的地方,仿佛从太极尚未分化之时,一气分化为两个穴位。脐穴中又衍生出四个小穴,外通两肾,内长赤脉与白脉。
在这四个穴位之中,分为表里两层。在母亲腹中时,母亲呼气胎儿便呼气,母亲吸气胎儿便吸气,这全身的脐蒂,就像花果长在树枝上而通过蒂相连一样。经过一个月的气血循环,真气逐渐充足。出生后,胎衣未脱落,脐带缓缓断开,如果此时脐门未闭合,感受风邪或伤寒,就会损伤婴儿的真气。因此,通常用艾火熏蒸数次,这样真气就不会有隐患了。等到三七二十一天左右,脐门自然闭合,只感觉口深,于是阳气旺盛,年岁渐长,若沉溺于五味饮食,迷醉于五音娱乐,探求于五气欲望,就会在外耗散精神,在内损伤生冷食物,导致真气不能条达顺畅。所以制定蒸脐固蒂的方法,就像用水浇灌土壤以培育草木,使根本自然强壮茂盛。人如果经常依照此法熏蒸,就能使营卫调和,安定魂魄,不受寒暑侵袭,身体可以健康,其中确有神妙之处。肺是五脏的华盖,声音由此产生,皮毛依赖它而得到滋润,肾水也由此得到生养。如果腠理不紧密,外感风邪和内伤饮食就会乘虚而入,令人咳嗽。外感需要发散治疗,内伤需要滋润调理,如果有郁结则应当解除。或者误伤了辛燥的药物,或者没有先发散就使用了使气机郁遏的药剂,那么气就不能疏散而滞留在肺中,容易产生粘痰并引发喘急咳嗽。或者是因房劳过度、饮食不当,致使吐血,忽冷忽热,耳目昏花,身体倦怠拘挛紧急,胸满烦闷,食欲减退,精神怯弱等疾病发作。医生可以急忙使用保真丸、化痰丸等方剂来治疗。如果使用这些方剂无效,必须依照本法熏灸肚脐。现将此方的药物材料,开列如下:
麝香 五钱。引导诸药进入五脏六腑,周遍通达全身关节。
丁香 三钱。入肺经补血,充实脾胃。
青盐 四钱。入肾经以充实其子脏(肾为肝之子,此处指通过补肾间接实肺金之母,或指肾主纳气),使肺母无泄漏,如同乳汁补益下焦以增益气脘。
夜明砂 五钱。透达肺孔,补气不足,消散内伤导致的邪气有余。
乳香、木香 各二钱。
小茴香 四钱。治疗湿沥之症,调达周身气血流通,升降气机,不至于发生喘嗽。如果想要断绝水源,先寻找这个源头(意指治本)。
没药、虎骨、蛇骨、龙骨、朱砂 各五钱。
雄黄 三钱。削除病根,扶助虚弱,助益强健。
白附子 五钱。沿着各经络运行,具有推前拽后的疏通之功。
人参、附子、胡椒 各七钱。补益元气,行血化痰转化为津液。
五灵脂 五钱。保护肺气,削减有余之邪,补益不足之气。
槐皮 能够闭押诸气的性质,使其不致走窜散乱。
艾叶 取其火热之性,劫除病邪去除毒素,起死回生。
将上述药物研为细末,另外用白面做成条状,圈在肚脐周围,将前面的药料一份分为三份,先取一份,先将麝香末五分填入脐眼内;又将前面药料的一份,放入面圈内,按压药物使其紧实,中间插几个小孔,外面用一片槐皮盖在药物上,用艾火灸之,随时更换以免损坏,增强热气,热量可能自上而下,或自下而上,使全身热透。患者必定感到疲倦沉重如醉酒一般,灸到五六十壮时,遍身大汗,汗气上至泥丸宫(头部),下至涌泉穴。像这样,骨髓中的风寒暑湿,以及五劳七伤都会尽数拔除。如果不出汗,说明病未愈,再过三五天后再次灸治,直到出汗为止。学习者虽然小心地灸到一百二十壮,疾病必定痊愈。灸时要谨慎防范风寒,戒除油腻生冷食物,保养一个月以后,精神会更加健旺。如果是妇女灸脐,去掉麝香,加入韶脑一钱。扁鹊阐明这二十味药的浮沉升降、君臣佐使关系,使其所治疗的劳嗽之疾,无不痊愈,不仅仅是劳疾。凡是春夏秋冬四季各熏灸一次,元气坚固,百病不生,以及久咳久喘、吐血寒劳、遗精白浊、阳事不举、下元极弱、精神失常、痰膈等疾病,妇女赤白带下、长期不孕、子宫极冷,凡是用此灸法,则百病顿除,益气延年。
滋养丹田,辅助两肾,添精补髓,返老还童,祛除疾病延长寿命。用大附子一枚,重二两二钱,切成薄片,用夏布包好,用甘草、甘遂各二两捣碎,用烧酒二斤共同浸泡半天,用文武火煮,直到酒干为止。取出附子、草、遂不再使用,加入麝香三分,捶打一千多下,分成两丸,阴干,将一丸放入脐中,七天更换一次。另一丸放在黑铅盒内养护。
五灵脂、白芷、青盐(各二钱),麝香(一分)研为细末,另外用荞麦粉和水和成条状,圈在肚脐周围,将前面的药物填实在脐中。
寻常情况只用炒盐。又用于治疗霍乱欲死及小便不通。如果是虚冷严重的,加入硫黄,入麝香作为引经药。
用艾灸治之,妇女尤其适宜。只要觉得脐中温暖就停止,过几天再灸,太过则会生热。
专门主治痞积,遗精白浊,妇女赤白带下,经脉不调,长期无法受孕者。已有身孕者忌用。白檀香、羚羊角(各一两),零陵香、马蹄香(即广沉香)、香白芷、马兜铃、木鳖子、甘松、升麻、血竭(各五钱),丁皮(七钱),麝香(九分),以上十二味药研为细末,分成三份,每次用一份。用蕲艾絮绵装入白绫制成的兜肚内。初次服用者,每三天解下来一次,到第五天再穿上,一个月后常穿即可。
Peng Zu's Pill for Consolidating Yang, Securing the Root, Prolonging Life and Extending Longevity (Gifted by Mr. Jiang Wu Shengzhai)
The navel of a human being, at the beginning of conception, is where the father's essence and the mother's blood combine to form a chaotic embryo, resembling the state before the differentiation of Taiji, where one Qi divides into two acupoints. Within this acupoint, four smaller points are produced, connecting externally to the two Kidneys and internally growing the Red and White meridians.
Among these four points, they are divided into exterior and interior layers. During gestation in the mother's womb, when the mother exhales, the fetus exhales; when the mother inhales, the fetus inhales. This umbilical cord of the whole body is like a fruit or flower attached to a branch through its stem. After one month of circulation, the True Qi gradually becomes sufficient. After birth, while the placenta has not yet detached, the umbilical cord is slowly severed. If the umbilical gate is not closed at this time and is exposed to Wind pathogen or Cold damage, it will injure the infant's True Qi. Therefore, moxibustion with mugwort fire is usually performed several times so that the True Qi remains unharmed. By the age of twenty-one days (three sevens), the umbilical gate naturally closes, leaving only a deep depression. As Yang energy becomes abundant and age increases, if one indulges in the five flavors, becomes intoxicated by the five tones, and seeks gratification in the five qi, spirit will be consumed externally, and raw/cold foods will injure internally, preventing the True Qi from flowing smoothly. Thus, the method of steaming the navel to secure the root was established, similar to watering soil to cultivate plants, making the foundation naturally strong and lush. If people frequently follow this method of fumigation/moxibustion, Ying and Wei (Nutritive and Defensive Qi) will harmonize, Hun and Po (Ethereal and Corporeal Souls) will stabilize, invasion by cold and heat will be prevented, and the body can remain healthy, which contains profound efficacy. The Lung is the canopy of the five Zang organs, the source of voice, and the skin and hair rely on it for moisture. Kidney Water is nourished through it. If the cou li (skin pores) are not tight, external pathogens and internal injuries will take advantage, causing cough. External pathogens require dispersing treatment, internal injuries require moistening/nourishing treatment, and stagnation requires resolution. Or, injury caused by pungent and dry medicines, or using agents that cause stagnation without first dispersing, leads to Qi failing to disperse and stagnating in the Lung, producing sticky phlegm and causing wheezing and urgent cough. Or, due to sexual exhaustion and improper diet, hemoptysis occurs, alternating chills and fever, dizziness of ears and eyes, bodily fatigue and stiffness, chest fullness and irritability, loss of appetite, and weak spirit, among other diseases arise. Physicians should urgently use formulas such as Baozhen Wan (Preserve Truth Pill) or Huatan Wan (Resolve Phlegm Pill). If these are ineffective, one must strictly follow the method of moxibustion on the navel. The ingredients for this prescription are listed below:
Moschus (She Xiang) 5 qian. Guides all herbs into the five Zang and six Fu organs, penetrating all joints throughout the body.
Syzygium aromaticum (Ding Xiang) 3 qian. Enters the Lung to nourish Blood, solidifies Spleen and Stomach.
Natrii Chloridum Rubrum (Qing Yan) 4 qian. Enters the Kidney to solidify its "child" organ, preventing leakage from the Lung "mother," similar to how milk nourishes the lower jiao to augment Qi.
Vermisophaga excrementum (Ye Ming Sha) 5 qian. Penetrates Lung pores, tonifies Qi deficiency, dissipates excess from internal injury.
Boswellia carterii (Ru Xiang) and Costus root (Mu Xiang) 2 qian each.
Foeniculum vulgare (Xiao Hui) 4 qian. Treats dampness dripping symptoms, regulates circulation, ascends and descends Qi, preventing wheezing and cough. To cut off the water source, one must first find this origin.
Myrrha (Mo Yao), Panthera tigris ossis (Hu Gu), Naja atra ossis (She Gu), Os Draconis (Long Gu), Cinnabaris (Zhu Sha) 5 qian each.
Realgar (Xiong Huang) 3 qian. Eliminates disease roots, supports weakness, assists strength.
Typhonium giganteum (Bai Fu Zi) 5 qian. Circulates along meridians, possessing the function of pushing forward and pulling back.
Ginseng radix (Ren Shen), Aconitum carmichaelii (Fu Zi), Piper longum (Hu Jiao) 7 qian each. Tonifies Yuan Qi, moves Blood, transforms phlegm into Jin Ye (Body Fluids).
Trogopterus dung (Wu Ling Zhi) 5 qian. Protects Lung Qi, reduces excess, tonifies deficiency.
Morus alba bark (Huai Pi) Can suppress the nature of various Qi movements, preventing them from scattering.
Artemisia argyi leaf (Ai Ye) Utilizes its heat to劫 (seize/eliminate) pathogens and remove toxins, reviving the dying.
Grind the above into powder. Separately, make strips from white flour, forming a circle around the navel. Divide one portion of the medicine into three parts. Take one part, first fill 5 fen of Moschus powder into the navel pit. Then take another part of the medicine, place it within the flour ring, press tightly, poke several holes in the middle, cover with a piece of Morus alba bark, and perform moxibustion. Replace as needed to maintain heat intensity. Heat may penetrate from top to bottom or bottom to top, warming the entire body. The patient will feel heavy and sleepy, like being drunk. Perform 50-60 moxa cones until profuse sweating covers the body, reaching Niwan Palace (head) upwards and Yongquan downwards. In this way, wind-cold-damp-heat in the bone marrow and all Five Labors and Seven Injuries will be eradicated. If there is no sweat, the disease is not cured; repeat moxibustion after 3-5 days until sweating occurs. Although practitioners should carefully perform up to 120 moxa cones, the disease will surely be cured. During moxibustion, avoid wind and cold, abstain from greasy and raw/cold foods, and preserve health for one month afterwards, leading to increased vigor. For women, remove Moschus and add Naphthalene (Shao Nao) 1 qian. Bian Que elucidated the floating/sinking, ascending/descending properties, and Jun-Chen-Zuo-Shi (Monarch-Minister-Assistant-Courier) relationships of these twenty herbs, ensuring the cure of labor-induced coughs, not limited to such ailments. Performing fumigation/moxibustion once in each of the four seasons strengthens Yuan Qi, prevents hundred diseases, and treats chronic cough/wheezing, hemoptysis, cold labor, spermatorrhea, leukorrhea, impotence, extreme weakness of the Lower Origin, mental disorders, phlegm obstruction, women's red/white vaginal discharge, infertility, uterine cold, etc. Using this moxibustion removes hundred diseases instantly, benefits Qi, and extends life.
Jieming Dan (Life-Reconnecting Pill)
Nourishes Dantian, assists both Kidneys, adds essence and replenishes marrow, reverses aging, dispels disease, and extends longevity. Use one large Aconitum carmichaelii (Fu Zi), weighing 2 liang 2 qian, sliced thinly, wrapped in summer cloth. Crush Glycyrrhiza uralensis (Gan Cao) and Kansui (Gan Sui) each 2 liang. Soak together in 2 jin of distilled liquor for half a day. Boil over mild and strong fire until the liquor is dry. Discard the Aconitum, Gan Cao, and Gan Sui. Add Moschus 3 fen, pound over a thousand times, divide into two pills, dry in shade. Place one pill in the navel, change every seven days. Store the other pill in a black lead box for preservation.
Wenqi Zhongzi Fang (Warming Navel Seed-Generating Formula)
Trogopterus dung (Wu Ling Zhi), Angelica dahurica (Bai Zhi), Natrii Chloridum Rubrum (Qing Yan) (each 2 qian), Moschus (1 fen) ground into powder. Separately, mix buckwheat flour with water to form strips, circle around the navel, and fill the medicine into the navel.
Ordinarily, only roasted salt is used. It also treats severe cholera and urinary retention. For severe deficiency-cold, add Realgar (Liu Huang), using Moschus as a guide.
Perform moxibustion; especially suitable for women. Stop when warmth is felt in the navel; repeat after a few days. Excessive application generates heat.
Wenqi Doudou Fang (Warming Navel Belly-Band Formula)
