留二分,先以大木桶纳酢泔三斛,酒糟七升搅之,经三日后用次法,一如次第,遂至法毕。
上以粟米一升,净淘,捣作粉,以乌头安桶中浓三寸,布令平,即掺米粉令遍,复加乌
头如前法,又加米粉如次第,遂至满桶,去口三寸即止,然后取糟汁去桶中一畔下,又没乌
头二寸,以物盖之,九月即八、九日,若十月即经十日,候桶中汁上头衣作紫色遍,即出乌
头以刀刮截看里许,白黄脉断即熟,且看衣紫色即熟,不须致疑,即取白茅曝一日得蔫即得
,不得太干。于厂屋底干地上布茅浓五寸,漉出乌头令干,以布茅上,勿令相重,其上令布
茅浓五寸,四边闭塞,以茅令密,经再宿三日从一边却茅看之,若衣匀斑斑然即好,若着白
斑,又更覆一宿,以衣足为限,即徐徐去上茅,更经一宿,安徐取于厂下,薄上布,勿令相
重,经二十一日后捻出,日中曝之,三日即成也。
又法
乌头(四月收) 天雄 附子 侧子(八月收)
上,先煎水作生熟汤,治附子如前方法,内着汤中,密封勿泻,经半日出,取自灰 ,
数易灰使干,日曝之,其米粥及糟曲等法,并不及此法。
服盐药法∶(无药州土,则须服之,大益)
成州盐官第一,次绵州封井,次盐州富因井,次益州贵平井。
上四井,盐可服之。
上法服,先以大豆许盐置口中,勿咽之,须臾津液满口,令近齿以方寸匕盐纳口中,和
津液一时咽之,日一服。
凡疟新患者,一服得快利即愈,百日以上者,五服瘥;若一月服之,终身不发。
诸下痢初患,一两服即瘥;赤白久痢经年者,一七二七服瘥。
诸心腹痛,症结宿 ,积聚吐逆,食不化者,一年以上二三十年,不过三月服之,其
痢及诸病皆愈,初服时痢益极者,勿怪之也。
诸气满喘逆,不能食者,一服即散,日服之则根本皆除。天气热疾,头痛目眩,四肢烦
热者,一服得吐利,瘥。
诸头面皮肤百节皆风,一月服之,瘥。若初服十日内眉间益闷,勿怪。
诸痰饮,咳逆不能食息者,一服瘥。
诸虚劳伤损,骨节疼痛,起止失声者,二七日服之;少气乏力,面无颜色,十日服之,
能三十日服,佳也。常以平日空腹服之,率以三匕为节,须得吐利者,须一度多服三匕以上
,令人大吐利,终不伤人,若觉烦热,数数饮冷水,若至他方异域,不伏水土,到即服之得
一升,百事不惧,盐能补虚,去冷热,若有宿食不消,变成霍乱,一服即瘥。
留下两份(指前文提到的某种处理步骤或材料),先用大木桶放入三斛醋泔水,加入七升酒糟搅拌,经过三天后使用下面的方法,完全按照上述顺序操作,直到整个流程结束。
以上述粟米一升,洗净淘清,捣碎成粉,将乌头铺在桶底,厚度为三寸,铺平布好,然后撒上米粉使其均匀覆盖,再像之前那样加一层乌头,又按顺序加米粉,直到填满桶子,距离桶口三寸处停止。然后取糟汁倒出桶中一侧的部分液体,使乌头被淹没两寸深,用东西盖住。如果是九月,经过八、九天;如果是十月,经过十天,观察桶中液面上的浮皮变成均匀的紫色,就取出乌头,用刀刮开查看内部,如果看到白色和黄色的纹理断开,就说明已经熟透,只要看到表面浮皮呈紫色即表示成熟,不必怀疑。此时取出白茅草晒一天,使其稍微萎蔫即可,不要晒得太干。在厂房底部的干燥地面上铺设五寸厚的茅草,将乌头滤出晾干,铺在茅草上,不要重叠,上面再铺五寸厚的茅草,四周封闭严实,用茅草塞紧缝隙。经过两个晚上到三天,从一边掀开茅草查看,如果表面颜色均匀带有斑点就是好的,如果出现白斑,再覆盖一个晚上,以颜色达标为止。然后慢慢去掉上面的茅草,再过一个晚上,小心地搬到屋檐下,薄薄地铺在布上,不要重叠,经过二十一天后捏出,在阳光下暴晒,三天就完成了。
另一种方法:
乌头(四月采收) 天雄 附子 侧子(八月采收)
以上药材,先煎水制成生熟汤,按照前面的方法处理附子,放入汤中,密封不要泄漏,经过半个时辰(约一小时),从灰中取出,多次更换灰烬使其干燥,并在阳光下暴晒。这种方法比用米粥及酒曲等方法更好。
服用盐药的方法:(如果没有产药的州县土地,就必须服用此法,大有益处)
成州盐官井排第一,其次是绵州封井,再次是盐州富因井,再次是益州贵平井。
以上四口井的盐可以服用。
上述方法的服用方式:先用如大豆大小的盐放在口中,不要咽下,片刻后津液充满口腔,让盐靠近牙齿,用方寸匕取盐放入口中,与津液混合一起咽下,每天服用一次。
凡是新患疟疾的人,服用一次若感到通畅舒适即痊愈;患病百日以上的,服用五次可治愈;如果坚持服用一个月,终身不再发作。
各种初患的下痢,服用一两剂即可痊愈;赤白久痢持续一年的,服用七个七日或十四个七日可愈。
各种心腹痛,症结宿食,积聚吐逆,食物不消化者,病程一年以上甚至二三十年,不超过三个月服用此药,其痢疾及其他疾病都会痊愈。刚开始服用时腹泻加剧的,不要奇怪。
各种气满喘逆,不能进食者,服用一次即消散,每日服用则病根尽除。天气炎热导致的疾病,头痛目眩,四肢烦热者,服用一次通过呕吐和腹泻排出病邪,即可痊愈。
各种头面皮肤及全身关节皆受风邪困扰者,服用一个月可愈。如果刚开始服用的十日内眉心更加闷胀,不要奇怪。
各种痰饮,咳逆不能呼吸进食者,服用一次可愈。
各种虚劳损伤,骨节疼痛,行动失声者,服用十四个七日;少气乏力,面色无华者,服用十个十日,若能连续服用三十日,效果更佳。通常应在平日空腹时服用,一般以三匕为剂量标准。如果必须出现呕吐腹泻反应,需要一次性多服用三匕以上,使人产生剧烈的呕吐和腹泻,最终不会伤害人体。如果感觉烦热,多次饮用冷水。如果到了其他方域异地,不服水土,到达后立即服用一升,百事无忧。盐能补虚,去除冷热之邪,如果有宿食不消,变成霍乱,服用一次即可痊愈。
Leave two portions (referring to a previous step or material). First, place three hu of vinegar-brine into a large wooden barrel, add seven sheng of wine lees, and stir. After three days, proceed with the following method, strictly following the sequence until the entire process is completed.
Take one sheng of millet, clean it thoroughly, pound it into powder. Place Aconiti Radix (Wutou, 乌头) at the bottom of the barrel to a thickness of three cun, spread it evenly. Sprinkle millet powder over it to cover uniformly, then add another layer of Aconiti Radix as before, followed by millet powder in sequence, filling the barrel until three cun from the rim. Then, remove some liquid from one side of the barrel using the lees juice, ensuring the Aconiti Radix is submerged by two cun. Cover it with a lid. If in the ninth month, wait eight or nine days; if in the tenth month, wait ten days. Observe when the scum on top of the liquid turns a uniform purple color. Remove the Aconiti Radix, scrape it open with a knife to inspect the interior. If white and yellow textures are broken, it is ripe. As long as the surface scum is purple, it is mature; do not doubt this. Take Bai Mao Gen (Imperatae Rhizoma, 白茅根), sun-dry for one day until slightly withered, but not too dry. Spread five cun of thick Bai Mao Gen on the dry ground under the workshop roof. Filter out the Aconiti Radix to dry, lay it on the grass without overlapping. Cover with another five cun of thick Bai Mao Gen, seal the four sides tightly with grass. After two nights to three days, lift the grass from one side to check. If the surface has uniform mottled spots, it is good. If white spots appear, cover for another night until the condition is met. Slowly remove the upper grass, let it rest for another night, then carefully move it under the eaves, spreading it thinly on cloth without overlapping. After twenty-one days, knead it out, sun-dry for three days, and it is ready.
Another method:
Aconiti Radix (Harvest in April) Tianxiong Fuzi Cezǐ (Harvest in August)
Boil water to make a raw-and-cooked decoction. Process Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata, 附子) according to the previous method, place it in the decoction, seal tightly to prevent leakage. After half a chen (approx. one hour), take it out from the ash. Change the ash multiple times to ensure dryness, and sun-dry it. This method is superior to those using millet porridge or wine lees.
Method for taking salt medicine: (In regions without medicinal salt sources, this method must be used; it is highly beneficial.)
The salt well at Shangguan, Chengzhou is ranked first; followed by Fengjing Well, Mianzhou; then Fuyin Well, Yanzhou; and finally Guiping Well, Yizhou.
Salt from these four wells can be taken.
To administer the above method: Place a piece of salt the size of a soybean in the mouth, do not swallow. After a moment, when saliva fills the mouth, bring the salt close to the teeth. Use a square-inch spoon (fangcun bi) to take salt into the mouth, mix with saliva, and swallow together. Take once daily.
For new cases of malaria, one dose resulting in smooth bowel movement leads to cure; for those suffering for over a hundred days, five doses lead to cure. Taking it for one month ensures no recurrence for life.
For initial dysentery, one or two doses lead to cure; for chronic red-and-white dysentery lasting a year, seven or fourteen cycles of seven days (one to two weeks) of dosing lead to cure.
For various heart and abdominal pain, stagnation of old food, accumulation, vomiting, and indigestion, regardless of duration from one year to thirty years, taking it within three months will cure the dysentery and other diseases. Do not be surprised if diarrhea worsens initially.
For qi fullness, wheezing, inability to eat, one dose disperses the symptoms; daily administration removes the root cause. For heat-related illnesses causing headache, dizziness, and hot limbs, one dose inducing vomiting and diarrhea leads to cure.
For wind affecting the head, face, skin, and all joints, taking it for one month leads to cure. If brow tightness increases within the first ten days of initial use, do not be surprised.
For phlegm-fluid retention, coughing, wheezing, and inability to breathe or eat, one dose leads to cure.
For deficiency labor and injury, joint pain, and loss of voice during movement, take for fourteen cycles of seven days; for shortness of breath, fatigue, and pale complexion, take for ten cycles of ten days. Taking it for thirty days is ideal. Usually take on an empty stomach on regular days. The standard dose is three bi (spoonfuls). If vomiting and diarrhea are required, increase the dose by more than three bi at once to induce severe vomiting and diarrhea; this will not harm the body. If feeling feverish, drink cold water frequently. If traveling to unfamiliar regions and experiencing acclimatization issues, take one sheng immediately upon arrival to avoid all troubles. Salt tonifies deficiency, eliminates cold and heat pathogens. If undigested food transforms into cholera, one dose leads to cure.
