三一承气汤(见上瘟疫
磁朱丸:治疗癫痫、狂证及耳鸣、耳聋,效果神奇。又用于治疗内障(晶状体混浊)及“神水”(房水)散大等症状,是开启盲人视力的第一流方剂。
配方:磁石(二两)、朱砂(一两)、神曲(三两,半生用半炒制)。炼蜜为丸,每次服用三钱,用开水送服。
按语:磁石宜生用,朱砂若经炒制则致人死亡。磁石色黑入肾,朱砂色赤入心,水能映照,火能照亮,水火相互济助,则目光神采四射。然而眼睛受五脏精气的滋养,精气补充于五谷,神曲能消化五谷,则精气容易生成,所以这是明目的神效方剂。它治疗耳鸣耳聋,也是利用其重镇沉降的功能来制约虚阳的上逆冲犯。柯韵伯说:“这是治疗癫痫的圣药,大概取意于磁石与朱砂交媾水火,神推陈出新,从中焦转运气机于上下。”

以上药物用无灰酒一斗,浸泡上述药物二十七天,紧密封口扎紧。时间到了取出药物,焙干,捣成细末,每次服用二钱,用浸泡药物的酒调服,酒喝完后用米汤调服。
喻嘉言说:“这是治疗风湿搏结在筋脉之间,凝滞不散,阻抑正气,使其不得通行的方剂。”
平胃散:治疗脾胃不调,心腹部痞塞胀满,吞酸嗳腐,泄泻痢疾,瘴疟,不服水土等症状。
配方:苍术(三钱,炒制)、陈皮、厚朴(各二钱,炒制)、炙甘草(一钱)。
加生姜五片,水煎服。
瓜蒂散:宿食停留在上脘,使用此方催吐,这就是所说的“病位在上者,顺势使之涌越而出”。

以上药物研为细末,用豆豉七合,煮汁调和药散一匕服用。另一种方法是用温浆水调服一钱匕,以吐出为度。
三一承气汤(见上文瘟疫章节)
Cishi Wan (Magnetite and Cinnabar Pill): Treats epilepsy, mania, and tinnitus or deafness with miraculous efficacy. It is also used for treating internal eye opacities and the dilation of "Shen Shui" (aqueous humor), serving as the premier formula for restoring vision to the blind.
Formula: Ci Shi (Magnetitum, 2 liang), Zhu Sha (Cinnabaris, 1 liang), Shen Qu (Massa Medicata Fermentata, 3 liang, half raw and half stir-fried). Processed into pills with refined honey; take 3 qian per dose, washed down with boiled water.
Note: Ci Shi should be used raw; if Zhu Sha is stir-fried, it can be fatal. Ci Shi is black and enters the Kidney; Zhu Sha is red and enters the Heart. Water reflects, fire illuminates; when Water and Fire mutually assist each other, visual brilliance radiates outward. However, the eyes receive essence from the five Zang organs, which is supplemented by grains. Shen Qu aids in digesting grains, thereby facilitating the formation of essence; thus, it is a divine formula for improving vision. Its treatment of tinnitus and deafness relies on its heavy-settling function to restrain the upward rush of deficient Yang. Ke Yunbo stated: "This is a holy remedy for epilepsy, taking advantage of the interaction between Water and Fire via the two minerals, while Shen Qu eliminates the old and generates the new, transporting Qi from the Middle Jiao to the upper and lower regions."
Gutan Wan (See Phlegm-Fluids chapter); Jingui Fengyin Tang (See Wind-Stroke chapter).
Shujin Bao Gan San (Tendons-Soothing Liver-Nourishing Powder): Treats hemiplegia (left-side paralysis and right-side impairment), tendon and vessel spasms, motor dysfunction of the body, weakness in the legs and feet, dry or damp Hong Kong foot (podagra/foot disorders), and dampness obstructing the meridians that persists for a long time; it promotes the free flow and guidance of various Qi mechanisms.
Formula: Mu Gua (Chaenomelis Fructus, 5 liang), Bi Xie (Dioscoreae Hypoglaucae Rhizoma), Wu Ling Zhi (Trogopterori Faeces), Niu Xi (Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix, soaked in wine), Xu Duan (Dipsaci Radix), Bai Jiang Can (Bombyx Batryticatus, stir-fried), Song Jie (Pinii Resina), Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix), Wu Yao (Linderae Radix), Tian Ma (Gastrodiae Rhizoma), Wei Ling Xian (Clematidis Radix et Rhizoma), Huang Qi (Astragali Radix), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Fang Feng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Hu Gu (Pantheris Os, stir-fried in wine; all the above at 2 liang each).
Soak the above herbs in one dou of unadulterated wine for twenty-seven days, sealing tightly. After the time is up, remove the herbs, bake them dry, and grind them into fine powder. Take 2 qian per dose, mixed with the wine used for soaking. When the wine is finished, mix with rice soup for administration.
Yu Jiayan said: "This is a formula for treating wind-dampness knotting within the tendons and vessels, stagnating without dispersing, obstructing righteous Qi and preventing its smooth circulation."
Pingwei San (Peace the Stomach Powder): Treats spleen and stomach disharmony, epigastric and abdominal fullness and distension, acid regurgitation and belching of rotten food, diarrhea and dysentery, malarial fevers, and intolerance to local climate and water.
Formula: Cang Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma, 3 qian, stir-fried), Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), Hou Po (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex, both 2 qian, stir-fried), Zhi Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Preparata, 1 qian).
Add five slices of fresh ginger, decoct in water, and take orally.
Gua Di San (Melon Seed Powder): For retained food stagnation in the upper wan (upper stomach), use this to induce vomiting, following the principle of "those located above should be expelled upwards."
Formula: Gua Di (Momordicae Semen, stir-fried), Chi Dou (Vigna Angularis, boiled; equal parts).
Grind the above into fine powder. Mix with juice from seven he of garden bean (Dolichoris Semen) and administer one bi of the powder. Alternatively, mix one qian bi with warm sour plum water, inducing vomiting until relief is achieved.
