Regardless of the poison ingested, immediately take fulgurite (Zao Xin Tu) powder, mix with cold water, and administer one Fang Cun Bi (a traditional Chinese measuring unit). (Di Jiang [Earth Slurry] is also excellent; see Arsenic Poisoning.) Alternatively, decoct Licorice Root (Gan Cao) in concentrated liquid and drink copiously. (Must be cooled to freezing temperature for the poison to be neutralized. The same applies to all subsequent remedies mentioned.) Consuming a small amount of honey is also beneficial. Ingesting scallion juice or boiling soybean juice are also effective. Decoct Shepherd's Purse (Ji Cai) juice for drinking; chewing it raw is also acceptable. Another prescription: Raw Ophiopogon Tuber (Sheng Maidong, 8 liang, heart removed), Scallion White (Cong Bai, 8 liang, pounded), Fermented Soybeans (Chi, 3 sheng), and 7 sheng of water. Boil until 3.5 sheng remains, divided into three doses. Another formula: One part Shepherd's Purse (Ji Cai) and two parts Isatis Leaf and Flower (Lan Ye Hua, harvested on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, leaves and flowers dried in shade). Pound into powder, mix with water, and administer one Fang Cun Bi, three times daily. Another formula: Isatis Root (Ban Lan Gen, dried, 4 liang, washed and sun-dried), Cyathula Root (Guan Zhong, 1 liang, trimmed of hairs), Indigo Naturalis (Qing Dai, ground), and Raw Licorice Root (Sheng Gan Cao, 1 liang each). Grind into powder, form pills with honey or steamed wheat cake soaked in water, size of Sophora seeds (Tong Zi Da). Coat with Indigo Naturalis. Take 15 pills per dose, chew thoroughly, and swallow with fresh well water to neutralize the poison. Regular consumption of 3-5 pills can also relieve summer heat. Zijin Ding (Purple Gold Pill) taken with cold water is effective, but contraindicated in pregnant women. For suicidal intent via poisoning, immediately collect fresh urine, mix with one sheng of old feces from beside the toilet, extract one sheng of juice, and instill completely to revive. Even those already dead may be saved. (Refer to the Mushroom Poisoning section for the method of extracting fecal juice.)
Arsenic Poisoning: Drink hot sheep blood, chicken blood, or duck blood. Grind Isatis Root (Ban Lan Gen) with rock sugar and water; adding mint juice is particularly effective. (Also treats Croton Seed poisoning.) Grind Mung Bean (Lu Dou) into paste, mix with fresh well water, and ingest orally. Use 1-2 qian of true Indigo Flower (Dian Hua), mix thickly with well water, and instill. Decoct Fermented Soybeans (Dou Chi) into concentrated juice for drinking. (Also treats irritability caused by medication overdose.) Crush Banana Root (Ba Jiao Gen) and drink the juice. Dig down to yellow earth, add fresh well water, stir until turbid, remove, filter out dregs (clarification not necessary), and drink. This also resolves mushroom poisoning. (Known as Di Jiang [Earth Slurry].)

Apricot Seed Poisoning: Isatis Seed Juice (Lan Zi Zhi) resolves this.
Sichuan Pepper Poisoning: (Closed-mouth peppers are toxic, causing throat constriction and death.) Eat garlic, or drink Earth Slurry (Di Jiang). Or drink concentrated Fermented Soybean (Dou Chi) juice; all resolve this.
Realgar Poisoning: Podocarpus Root (Fang Ji) resolves this.
Cinnabar Poisoning: Mix 5 qian of salt with cold water, let settle, and drink immediately.

Liver Poisoning from Six Livestock: (Liver is generally inadvisable to eat; self-dead animals are especially toxic.) Soak Fermented Soybeans (Dou Chi) in water, wring out juice, and drink immediately. To treat Horse Liver Poisoning: Take 14 male Rat Droppings (Xiong Shu Shi, pointed ones are best), grind to powder, mix with water, and ingest twice daily. Also, take 1 Fang Cun Bi of Head Grease (Ren Tou Gou), mix with wine, and ingest.

Snake Essence in Water Poisoning & Snake Bite: Mix Realgar (Xiong Huang) powder with water and drink. (For snake bites, also apply to wound.) For snake bite, use thick hair-washing water (or rice washing water) to drink until full.
Insect Poison: If toxin is above the diaphragm, induce vomiting. Grind Alum (Bai Fan) and Jian Tea (Jian Cha, 2 qian each) into powder, mix with fresh well water, and take in one dose to induce vomiting. Test for toxicity: If the medicine tastes sweet rather than bitter upon entry, it indicates poison. Spit into water; if it sinks, it is poison. Hold a silver object in the mouth overnight; if it turns black, it is poison. If toxin is below the diaphragm, induce purging. Mix Musk (She Xiang, 2.5 qian, separately ground), Realgar (Xiong Huang), Cinnabar (Zhu Sha, water-ground, separately ground), Red-footed Centipede (Chi Jiao Wu Gong, lightly roasted, legs removed), and Spurge Seed (Xu Sui Zi, 1 liang each). Grind into powder, make pills with glutinous rice porridge, size of Euryale Seed (Qian Shi). Take one pill with hot wine to induce purging.
Alternative Formula: Burn Drum Skin (Bai Gu Pi) and Silkworm Cast Skin (Can Tui Zhi) until charred but retaining properties.

Avoid sticky foods and pork. Another formula: Drum Skin (5 cun wide, 1 chi long), Rose Root (Qiang Wei Gen, 5 cun, size of big toe, finely cut), 1 sheng water, 3 sheng clear wine. Boil to 1 sheng, take in one dose to cure. Another formula: Grind Shepherd's Purse Root (Ji Cai Gen) into powder, take 1 Fang Cun Bi with water. Another formula: Extract 1 sheng juice from raw Trichosanthes Root (Gua Lou Gen), mix with a little sauce, take warm. Vomiting worms shortly after is highly effective. Another formula: Crush Coriander Root (Hu Sui Gen), extract 0.5 sheng juice, mix with wine, induces immediate expulsion. Another formula: Use Pig Gallbladder for enema, which is good. If hematemesis or melena resembling rotten chicken liver occurs, decoct Qian Cao Gen (Qian Gen) and He Gen (He Gen, 3 liang each) in 4 sheng water to 2 sheng, remove dregs, and take in one dose to cure. Another formula: Burn Ting Li Pi (Seedpod of Descurainia), take 1 Fang Cun Bi with water to induce vomiting. Another formula: Take 1 Fang Cun Bi of Platycodon Powder (Jie Geng Mo) with wine (adding Rhinoceros Horn powder is better), three times daily. If unable to swallow, instill. Heart palpitations may occur initially but subside quickly, followed by purging. Continue for seven days, then tonify with Pig Spleen.
Another treatment for five types of insects: 1. Snake, 2. Dung Beetle, 3. Toad, 4. Tadpole, 5. Grass Insect. Finely chop placenta, sun-dry, grind to powder, take half a Qian Bi with water to dissolve. Chewing Cimicifuga Rhizome (Sheng Ma) and swallowing juice is also good.
Mountain Miasma and Evil Qi Poison: Rhinoceros Horn (Xi Jiao), Antelope Horn (Ling Yang Jiao), Realgar (Xiong Huang), and Musk (She Xiang) resolve this. Also, decoct 2 liang of Licorice Root (Gan Cao) in 3 sheng water to 1 sheng, divide and take.
Well Poisoning: During May and June, poisonous gases accumulate in wells and deep tombs. Before entering, throw chicken or duck feathers in. If they sink directly to the bottom, there is no poison; if they hover, poison is present. Alternatively, place live chickens or ducks inside; if they survive, there is no poison. Sprinkle several sheng of wine or vinegar around the well perimeter, wait a while, then enter. If poisoned and feeling suffocated near death, wash face with well water, drink it, and pour over head and body to revive. If the well has no water, use another well. One method says: splash water from another well on the body; recovery occurs after three meals. Use west well water for east well, north well water for south well.
