《本草》记载：针线袋主治妇人产后肠中瘙痒难忍。将袋子放在所卧的褥子下面，不要让病人知道。
张德俊说：近年和年余杭人将要赴任做官时，因为蒸降真木犀香，掀开蒸笼盖时脸扑在蒸笼面上，被热气熏蒸，面部立即浮肿，口眼都因此闭合。经过多位医生治疗无效，最后一位医生说：“古代没有这种病症，请让我凭自己的理解来治疗。”于是取寺庙里长久用来炊煮的布，烧成灰但保留药性，随即敷用，症状随即消退，不到半个月就好了。大概是因为炊布受蒸汽上气多，反而用它来引出汤毒，也就像用盐水提取咸味一样。医者的智慧也是令人欣喜的。（出自《百一方》）
古时候有一位患者，饮食正常，发作时像癫狂一样，面色青黄，小腹胀满，形状如同怀孕。医生诊察其脉象与症状，都不同寻常而难以明了治疗方案。忽然有一位山间老叟说：“我听说开皇六年（隋文帝年号），灞桥有人患此病，大概是因为三月八日在河边喝水时吃了芹菜所致。”有见识的人说：“这是蛟龙病。”因为龙游于芹菜之上，不幸吃到了而生病。于是用寒食饧（一种冷食用的麦芽糖），每剂五合服用，服了几剂后吐出一个东西，虽然小，但形状像蛟龙，且有两个头。那位患者依此方法治疗，获得了痊愈。（出自《名医录》）
何解元是陈留人。一天在赵修武家聚会饮酒，酒喝到几杯时，忽然看见杯底好像有一条小蛇，咽入口中也不觉得有什么异物，只是常常思考并怀疑。日子久了，觉得心痛。自己心想小蛇长大后会吃掉五脏。第二年又因旧日聚会去赵宅，刚拿起杯子，又看见小蛇，于是放下杯子仔细观看，发现赵宅屋梁上挂着一张弓，原来是弓梢的影子映在杯中。因此解除了疑惑，心疾也就没有了。这大概是因疑虑而导致的疾病。（同上）
箭竿及箭头主治妇人产后腹中瘙痒。将其放在所卧的席子下面，不要让妇人知道。（出自《本草》）
唐高宗永徽年间，崔爽每次吃生鱼三斗才满足。后来饥饿发作时，食物还没吃完，崔爽忍受不住饥饿，于是吐出一个像虾蟆一样的东西。从此之后，他不再能吃东西了。（出自《宣室志》）
*Bencao* records: A needle case is indicated for unbearable itching in the intestines of women after childbirth. Place the case under the mattress where the patient sleeps, without letting the patient know.
Zhang Dejun said: Recently, He Nian, a resident of Yuhang, was about to take up an official post. While steaming *Jiangzhen Muxi Xiang* (Aquilaria and Agallocha Wood with Osmanthus Fragrance), he leaned his face over the steamer lid when it was opened. His face was immediately swollen and closed due to the heat vapor, causing his mouth and eyes to shut. Several physicians failed to treat him. The last physician said, "This condition has no precedent in ancient texts; let me treat it based on my own understanding." He then took cloth long used for cooking in a temple, burned it to ash while retaining its medicinal properties (*Cunxing*), and applied it topically. The swelling subsided immediately upon application, and he recovered within half a month. This is likely because the cooking cloth absorbed much steam vapor, which was paradoxically used to expel the toxicity from the steam, similar to using salt water to extract salty flavors. The wisdom of physicians is indeed delightful. (From *Baiyi Fang*)
In ancient times, there was a patient whose diet remained normal. Upon onset, he appeared manic, with a greenish-yellow complexion, abdominal distension in the lower abdomen, and a shape resembling pregnancy. Physicians found his pulse and symptoms atypical and difficult to understand, making the treatment plan unclear. Suddenly, an old man from the mountains said, "I heard that in the sixth year of the Kaihuang era (Sui Dynasty), someone in Baqiao suffered from this illness. It was likely caused by eating celery while drinking river water on the eighth day of the third lunar month." An informed person stated, "This is a 'Jiaolong Disease' (Flood Dragon Disease)." Because dragons swim above celery, one might accidentally ingest it and become ill. They prescribed *Hanshi Tang* (Cold Food Syrup/Maltose), five *he* per dose. After several doses, the patient vomited an object. Although small, it resembled a Jiaolong with two heads. The patient was cured following this method. (From *Mingyi Lu*)
He Jieyuan was from Chenliu. One day, while dining at the residence of Zhao Xiawu, after drinking several cups of wine, he suddenly saw what looked like a small snake at the bottom of his cup. He swallowed it without feeling any foreign body, but began to doubt and worry repeatedly. Over time, he felt heart pain, thinking the snake would grow and consume his internal organs. The following year, attending the same gathering at Zhao's residence, he picked up his cup again and saw the "snake." Putting down the cup to examine it closely, he discovered a bow hanging on the beam of Zhao's house; it was the shadow of the bow's tip reflected in the cup. Thus, his doubt was resolved, and his psychosomatic heart ailment disappeared. This was clearly a disease caused by excessive suspicion. (Ibid.)
Arrow shafts and arrowheads are indicated for abdominal itching in women after childbirth. Place them under the mat where the patient sleeps, without informing the woman. (*Bencao*)
During the Yonghui era of Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Cui Shuang required three *dou* of raw fish per meal to feel satisfied. Later, when hunger struck before he finished eating, he could not endure the hunger and vomited an object resembling a toad. From that point on, he was unable to eat anything. (From *Xuanshi Zhi*)
