婴儿蕴热在腹中,呻引频频卧不宁,努胀其气冲脐本,虚大光浮脐突成,
速服犀角消毒饮,二豆能消肿赤攻,最忌寒凉敷脐上,冰凝毒热反成凶。
[注]
婴儿热在腹中,无所发泻,故频频呻引,睡卧不宁努胀,其气冲入脐间,
所以脐忽肿赤虚大光浮,名日脐突,此乃胎热所致,非断脐不利之过也,
内服犀角消毒饮,外敷二豆散,其肿自消,
最忌寒凉之药敷于脐上,恐寒凝毒热,反为害也。

婴儿体内蕴积热邪于腹部,频繁呻吟牵引,睡眠不安稳,用力努责导致气机胀满并冲犯脐部本源,若见脐部虚大、光亮浮起,则形成脐突。
此时应迅速服用犀角消毒饮,使用二豆散能够消除肿胀和赤色症状。
最忌讳在脐部敷用寒凉药物,否则会导致冰凝之象,使毒热内结反而造成凶险后果。
[注]
婴儿腹中有热邪,无法通过排泄发散,因此频繁呻吟牵引,睡卧不宁且用力努责,气机冲入脐间,
所以脐部突然肿胀、发红、虚大且光亮浮起,命名为“脐突”,这是由胎热引起的,并非断脐处理不当造成的过失。
内服犀角消毒饮,外敷二豆散,肿胀自然消退。
最忌讳将寒凉药物敷在脐上,恐怕寒气凝结毒热,反而产生危害。
(犀角消毒饮)牛蒡子炒后研碎,生甘草,荆芥,防风,金银花,用水煎煮至熟,

断脐时不慎引发脐风,因感受风寒湿水之气而成。
病情即将发作时,驱风散最为有效;病情已成且伴有兼证时,需辨别清楚。
若出现腹胀便秘,适用黑白散;若面色苍白、四肢寒冷,适用理中汤。
若痰涎壅盛,适用礓蚕散(即辰砂僵蚕散);若壮热面赤,适用龙胆清(即龙胆汤)。
若呕吐多啼,适用益脾散治疗;若唇青、撮口、撮风,适用撮风散平复。
若脐周发青、口噤不开,属于不治之症,若在出生后七日内遇到此症,性命必危。
[注]
脐部是小儿的生命根蒂,名为神阙穴,穴位靠近足三阴经,喜温恶寒,喜干燥恶潮湿。
如果断脐完全遵循之前的方法,脐风从何而起呢?
只有因为不知慎重,导致水湿、风冷之气侵入脐中,
婴儿必然出现腹胀、脐肿,日夜啼叫,这是脐风即将发作的迹象,必须紧急使用驱风散治疗。
如果寒邪深入,已经形成脐风,则应当根据其所兼有的形证进行治疗。
如肚腹胀硬,大便不通者,是风邪兼实证,主用黑白散;
面色青紫、四肢冰冷,大小便不成形者,是风邪兼虚证,主用理中汤;
痰涎壅盛,气息高促喘急者,是风邪兼痰证,主用辰砂僵蚕散;
身体高热,面红口干者,是风邪兼热证,主用龙胆汤;
面色青紫、呕吐、弯腰多啼者,是风邪兼寒证,主用益脾散;
撮口、唇青、抽搐不止者,是风邪兼惊证,主用撮风散;
如果脐边青黑,口噤不开者,这是内抽风的不治之症,脐风出现在出生后七日内的,也是不治之症。
所谓“一腊”是指七天,婴儿出生七天,血脉尚未凝固,病邪已深入脏腑,医生也无能为力。

初生门
Infants harbor heat in the abdomen, frequently groaning and pulling, sleeping restlessly. Straining causes Qi distension rushing to the navel root; if the navel appears vacuously enlarged, shiny, and floating, Omphal protrusion (Omphalocele-like condition) forms.
Quickly administer Xijiao Xiaodu Yin (Rhinoceros Horn Detoxification Decoction); Erdou San (Two Beans Powder) can reduce swelling and redness.
It is strictly forbidden to apply cold-cooling medicines on the navel; otherwise, ice-congealing effects will trap toxic heat, leading to ominous consequences.
[Note]
When infants have heat in the abdomen with no outlet for discharge, they frequently groan and pull, sleep restlessly, and strain. The Qi rushes into the navel area, causing the navel to suddenly swell, redden, become vacuously enlarged, shiny, and floating. This is named Omphal protrusion (Omphalo protrusion), caused by fetal heat, not by improper umbilical cord cutting.
Internally administer Xijiao Xiaodu Yin (Rhinoceros Horn Detoxification Decoction), externally apply Erdou San (Two Beans Powder), and the swelling will subside naturally.
It is strictly forbidden to apply cold-cooling medicines on the navel, fearing that cold coagulation of toxic heat will cause harm.
(Xijiao Xiaodu Yin [Rhinoceros Horn Detoxification Decoction]) Niu Bang Zi (Arctii Fructus, 牛蒡子) stir-fried and ground, Sheng Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 生甘草), Jing Jie (Schizonepetae Herba, 荆芥), Fang Feng (Saposhnikoviae Radix, 防风), Jin Yin Hua (Lonicerae Japonicae Flos, 金银花). Decoct in water until cooked. Before administration, mix in fine powder of Xi Jiao (Rhinocerotis Cornu, 犀角) evenly and take orally.
(Formula Song)
Xijiao Xiaodu Yin adds Niu Bang Zi, combined with Gan Cao, Jing Jie, Fang Feng, and Jin Yin Hua. Grind Xi Jiao finely, mix evenly, and take orally; it excellently eliminates Omphal protrusion.
(Erdou San [Two Beans Powder]) Chi Xiao Dou (Adzuki Bean, 赤小豆) without removing skin, Dou Chi (Fermented Soybean, 豆豉), Tian Nan Xing (Arisaematis Rhizoma, 天南星) without skin and umbilicus, Bai Lian (Bletillae Rhizoma, 白敛) each one qian. Grind all above into fine powder. Use five fen of Ba Jiao Zhi (Musa Sapientis Juice, 芭蕉汁) to mix and apply around the four sides of the navel, twice daily.

Improper umbilical cord cutting leads to Umbilical Wind (Neonatal Tetanus), caused by contracting wind-cold-damp-water pathogens.
When about to manifest, Qu Feng San (Wind-Expelling Powder) is most effective; when fully formed with concurrent syndromes, differentiation must be clear.
For abdominal distension and constipation, use Hei Bai San (Black and White Powder); for pale face and cold limbs, use Li Zhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction).
For abundant phlegm-saliva, use Jiang Can San (Silkworm Powder); for high fever and red face, use Long Dan Qing (Long Dan Clearing Decoction).
For vomiting and frequent crying, treat with Yi Pi San (Spleen-Nourishing Powder); for cyanotic lips, mouth contraction, and wind-grasping, use Cuo Feng San (Grasping-Wind Powder) to calm.
If the navel perimeter is cyanotic and the mouth is locked, it is incurable; encountering this within one week (Yi La) after birth ensures fatal outcome.
[Note]
The navel is the root of life for children, named Shen Que (Concentrated Gate), a point near the three Yin meridians. It prefers warmth and dislikes cold, prefers dryness and dislikes dampness.
If umbilical cord cutting strictly follows previous methods, how would Umbilical Wind arise?
Only due to lack of caution, allowing water-dampness, wind-cold qi to enter the navel,
the infant will inevitably suffer abdominal distension and navel swelling, crying day and night. This indicates impending Umbilical Wind; urgently use Qu Feng San (Wind-Expelling Powder) to treat.
If cold pathogen penetrates deeply and Umbilical Wind has formed, treatment should depend on concurrent signs and symptoms.
If abdomen is distended and hard, stool is unpassable, it is Wind combined with Excess; primarily use Hei Bai San (Black and White Powder).
If face is cyanotic, limbs are cold, urination and defecation are unformed, it is Wind combined with Deficiency; primarily use Li Zhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction).
If phlegm-saliva is abundant, breathing is rapid and asthmatic, it is Wind combined with Phlegm; primarily use Chen Sha Jiang Can San (Cinnabar Silkworm Powder).
If body has high fever, face is red, mouth is dry, it is Wind combined with Heat; primarily use Long Dan Tang (Gentian Decoction).
If face is cyanotic, vomiting occurs, bending waist and crying frequently, it is Wind combined with Cold; primarily use Yi Pi San (Spleen-Nourishing Powder).
If mouth contracts, lips are cyanotic, convulsions do not stop, it is Wind combined with Fright; primarily use Cuo Feng San (Grasping-Wind Powder).
If the navel edge is cyanotic-black and the mouth is locked open, this is internal convulsion, an incurable condition. Umbilical Wind appearing within one week (Yi La) is also incurable.
One week (Yi La) refers to seven days. At seven days old, the infant's blood vessels are not yet consolidated; the disease has entered the zang-organs. Medical intervention is of no benefit.
