脏腑摄养乖方，则三焦痞膈，肠胃不能宣行，因饮水浆，便令停滞不散，更遇寒气，积
聚而成癖。癖者，谓僻侧在于两胁之间，有时而痛者也。方用∶
牛膝 枳实 （炙） 茯苓 鳖甲（炙）各八分 桔梗 芍药 白术 人参 浓朴（炙）
大黄 桂心 槟榔各六分
上捣筛，蜜和丸，空腹温酒，服如梧子二十丸，日二服，渐加至三十丸。
症者，由寒温失节，致脏腑之气虚弱，而食饮不消，聚积在内。渐染在生长块段，盘牢
不移动，若积引岁月，人则柴瘦，腹转大，遂至于死。治用∶
射罔二两（熬） 蜀椒三百粒
上捣末，以鸡子白为丸，半如麻子，半如赤小豆，先服如麻子，渐服如赤小豆二丸，不
知稍增之，以知为度。
患者腹中卒然有物，坚如石，痛如刺，昼夜啼呼，不疗之。百日死。方用∶
牛膝根二斤 酒一斗
先曝令牛膝根极干，纳酒一斗，浸之密器中，封口置热灰中温之，令味出。先服五、六
合，至一升，以意量多少之。
人有好哑米（思邈按∶哑者饥而思食之义）者，转久弥嗜。哑之若不得米，则胸中清水
出，得米便止。米不消化，遂生症结。治用∶
鸡屎一升 白米五合
合炒，取米焦，捣成散，用水一升，顿服取尽，少时即吐，吐出症如研米汁碎。若无症，
即吐白沫痰水，乃憎米不复食之。无所忌。
水仙花子、芍药、荷叶，一同捣碎成粉末，用白开水送服，效果很好。
如果脏腑的调养方法不当，就会导致三焦（人体上中下三部的气机通道）痞塞阻隔，肠胃无法正常运行，此时如果饮水浆，就会使水液停滞不散，再加上遇到寒气，积聚而成癖病。所谓癖病，是指病邪偏侧位于两胁之间，有时会发生疼痛。治疗方剂为：
牛膝、枳实（炙烤）、茯苓、鳖甲（炙烤）各八分，桔梗、芍药、白术、人参、浓朴（炙烤）、大黄、桂心、槟榔各六分。
将上述药材捣碎过筛，用蜂蜜调和制成丸药，空腹时用温酒送服，每次服用二十粒梧子大小的药丸，每日两次，逐渐增加至三十丸。
症病，是由于寒温失调，导致脏腑之气虚弱，饮食不能消化，积聚在体内。逐渐形成生长块段，盘结牢固不移动，如果积久岁月，人就会消瘦，腹部转而变大，最终导致死亡。治疗方法为：
射罔二两（熬制）、蜀椒三百粒。
将上述药材捣碎成粉末，用鸡蛋清作为粘合剂制成丸药，大小一半如麻子，一半如赤小豆。先服用如麻子大小的药丸，逐渐增加到如赤小豆大小的两丸，如果没有感觉（无效），稍微增加剂量，以见效为标准。
患者腹中突然有硬物，坚硬如石头，疼痛如针刺，昼夜啼哭呼叫，如果不治疗，百日后会死亡。治疗方剂为：
牛膝根二斤、酒一斗。
先将牛膝根暴晒至极干，放入一斗酒中，浸泡在密封的容器中，封口后置于热灰中温热，使药效析出。先服用五到六合，直到一升，根据情况衡量多少为宜。
有些人喜欢生吃米（孙思邈按语：哑的意思是饥饿时想吃东西），时间久了更加嗜好。如果吃不到米，胸中就会流出清水，吃到米就停止。米不消化，于是形成症结。治疗方法为：
鸡屎一升、白米五合。
一起炒制，取焦黄的米，捣碎成散剂，用水一升，一次性服完，不久就会呕吐，吐出的症结物像研碎的米汁一样。如果没有症结，就会吐出白色泡沫痰水，从此厌恶米不再食用。服药期间没有禁忌。
Narcissus bulb (Shuixianhua Zi), Paeonia lactiflora root (Shaoyao), and Lotus leaf (Heye) are ground together into powder and taken orally with plain boiled water; this is quite effective.
If the nourishment of the Zang-Fu organs is improper, it leads to obstruction in the Sanjiao (Triple Burner, a concept referring to the upper, middle, and lower cavities of the torso and their functions), causing the intestines and stomach to fail in their normal movement. Consequently, if one drinks water or fluids, they stagnate and do not disperse. If further exposed to cold pathogenic factors, these accumulate to form Pi masses (Pi disease: accumulations located laterally between the hypochondrium). Pi refers to pathological accumulations situated on one side between the two hypochondria, which cause pain at times. The prescription is as follows:
Achyranthes bidentata root (Niuxi), Immature bitter orange (Zhishi, stir-baked), Poria cocos (Fuling), and Turtle shell (Biejia, stir-baked), each 8 fen; Platycodon grandiflorus root (Jiegeng), Paeonia lactiflora root (Shaoyao), Atractylodes macrocephala rhizome (Baizhu), Ginseng radix (Renshen), Magnolia officinalis bark (Noupu, stir-baked), Rhubarb (Dahuang), Cinnamon twig (Guixin), and Areca seed (Binglang), each 6 fen.
The above ingredients are crushed and sieved, mixed with honey to form pills. Taken on an empty stomach with warm wine, 20 pills the size of Sophora japonica seeds per dose, twice daily. Gradually increase the dosage to 30 pills.
Zheng disease arises from irregular exposure to cold and heat, leading to deficiency of Qi in the Zang-Fu organs and indigestion of food and drink, which accumulate internally. Over time, they grow into solid masses that are firmly fixed and immobile. If left for years, the person becomes emaciated while the abdomen enlarges, eventually leading to death. The treatment is as follows:
Asarum heterotropoides root with nitre (Shewang, 2 liang, roasted); Sichuan pepper (Shujiao, 300 grains).
Crush into powder, bind with egg white to form pills. Half should be the size of sesame seeds, half the size of adzuki beans. Start by taking pills the size of sesame seeds, gradually increasing to two pills the size of adzuki beans. If there is no effect ("bu zhi"), slightly increase the dose until therapeutic effect is achieved ("yi zhi wei du").
If a patient suddenly has a hard object in the abdomen, hard as stone, with stabbing pain, crying and calling out day and night, and does not receive treatment, death will occur within one hundred days. The prescription is as follows:
Achyranthes bidentata root (Niuxigen), 2 jin; Wine, 1 dou.
First, sun-dry the Achyranthes bidentata root until extremely dry. Place it in 1 dou of wine, soak it in a sealed vessel, seal the mouth, and place it in hot ashes to warm it, allowing the medicinal properties to extract. Initially take 5-6 he, up to 1 sheng, adjusting the amount according to judgment.
Some people have a craving for raw rice (Sun Simiao notes: "Ya" implies hunger and the desire to eat). The longer this persists, the stronger the craving. If unable to obtain rice, clear fluid flows from the chest; obtaining rice stops this. Undigested rice forms Zheng knots. The treatment is as follows:
Chicken feces (Jishi), 1 sheng; White rice (Baimi), 5 he.
Stir-fry together until the rice is scorched, crush into powder. Take with 1 sheng of water in one dose. Vomiting will occur shortly after, expelling the Zheng knot resembling crushed rice juice. If no knot exists, white foamy phlegm-water will be vomited, after which the person will detest rice and refuse to eat it. There are no dietary restrictions.
