治疗全身水肿的水气病,各种药物无效,病人濒临死亡的方剂。
大麻子(都要选用新鲜饱满的,品质最佳) 赤小豆(不能混入一粒杂质,各取一石)
以上两味药都要用新米淘洗过的水进行精细挑选,用水淘洗干净后晒干,蒸熟大麻子使其熟透,再次晒干,储存在干净的容器中。想要服用时,取出五升麻子,炒至微黄并散发香气,用文火慢炒,不要炒焦,研磨成极细的粉末。用五升水揉搓提取汁液,直到汁液完全析出,储存在干净密封的容器中。第二天早晨准备服药的前一夜,用小豆一升淘洗浸泡,到次日清晨沥干水分,用新水煮沸豆子。在豆子尚未完全煮烂之前,将其捞出沥干,放入麻子汁中,煮至非常软烂。空腹随意服用,每天分三次服用。应当小心出现胸闷的感觉,过一会儿就会停止。五天后小便次数增多或颜色发红,且唾液粘稠、口干,这都不足为奇。服药结束后,必须经常轻微活动身体,不能立即躺下睡觉。十日后,针刺足三里穴和绝骨穴以引导气机下行。如果不这样做,气机无法彻底宣泄。服药后第五天如果出现气逆且无法通过泻下法缓解的情况,取一条大鲤鱼,先死去的鱼,去掉鳞片和尾巴等,用热水烫去表面的黏液,清洗干净,剖开腹部去除内脏,用上述的麻子汁和完整的豆子一起煮熟,做成羹汤,加入葱、豆豉、橘皮、生姜、紫苏调和后食用。从开始到结束,一律禁止食用盐,口渴时就饮用麻子汁。秋冬季节温热饮用,春夏季节冷藏后饮用。日常饮食不得吃到饱,只要不感到饥饿即可。禁忌房事、发怒、大声说话、饮酒、面食、油醋、生冷蔬菜以及所有鱼肉、盐酱和五辛(指蒜、韭、薤、芸苔、胡荽等具有刺激性的食物),此方能治疗所有气病,服用者都能痊愈。整个疗程需连续服用一个月。麻子煮熟时,多收集一些存放在新的陶瓮中,打算施舍给他人。
另一个方剂:吴茱萸 荜茇 昆布 杏仁 葶苈子(各取等量)
以上五味药研成粉末,用蜂蜜制成梧桐子大小的丸剂,每次服用五丸。不要让病人吃饱,如果进食后感到饱闷、气急,服用此丸剂即可消散症状。
A prescription for treating edema caused by water qi (pathogenic fluid retention), characterized by generalized swelling, where all other medicines have failed and the patient is on the verge of death.
Hemp seed (Cannabis Fructus) [Shanzha, 麻子] (Select only fresh and plump ones for best quality) Red adzuki bean (Vigna angularis) [Chixiaodou, 赤小豆] (Ensure no impurities are mixed in; use one dan [approx. 50-60 kg] of each)
These two ingredients should be meticulously selected using water washed with new rice, rinsed with water, and sun-dried. Steam the hemp seeds until fully cooked, then sun-dry them again and store in a clean vessel. When ready to administer, take five sheng [approx. 2 liters] of hemp seeds, stir-fry until slightly yellow and fragrant, using low heat to prevent burning. Grind into an extremely fine powder. Add five sheng of water, knead to extract the juice completely, and store in a clean, sealed container. The night before taking the medicine on the following morning, soak one sheng of red beans in water. By dawn, drain the water. Boil the beans in fresh water. Before they are fully cooked, remove them, drain well, and add them to the hemp seed juice. Cook until very soft and mushy. Take freely on an empty stomach, three times a day. One may experience mild chest tightness, which will subside shortly. After five days, frequent urination or reddish urine, along with sticky saliva and dry mouth, are not surprising. After completing the course, engage in light physical activity and do not lie down immediately. Ten days later, apply acupuncture to Zusanli (ST36) and Juegu (GB39) to guide Qi downward. Otherwise, Qi may not be fully discharged. If after five days of medication there is rebellious Qi that cannot be purged, take one large carp. Use a fish that has died naturally, remove scales and fins, scald to remove slime, wash thoroughly, gut, and cook together with the aforementioned hemp juice and whole beans until done, making it into a soup. Season with green onion, fermented soybean (Douchi), tangerine peel, fresh ginger, and perilla. Strictly avoid salt from start to finish. Drink hemp seed juice when thirsty. In autumn and winter, drink warm; in spring and summer, drink chilled. Do not eat until full; simply avoid hunger. Avoid sexual intercourse, anger, loud talking, alcohol, wheat products, oil, vinegar, raw/cold vegetables, all meat/fish, salt, soy sauce, and the "Five Pungent Spices" (garlic, chives, leeks, turnip greens, cilantro). This formula treats all Qi disorders, and those who take it will recover. The treatment lasts for one month. When cooking hemp seeds, collect extra and store in new jars to distribute to others.
Another prescription: Evodia fruit (Evodiae Fructus) [Wuzhuyu, 吴茱萸], Long pepper (Long Pepper Fruit) [Bibo, 荜茇], Kelp (Laminariae Thallus) [Kunbu, 昆布], Apricot seed (Armeniacae Semen Amarum) [Xingren, 杏仁], Lepidium seed (Lepidii Fructus) [Tinglizi, 葶苈]. (Equal parts)
Grind these five herbs into powder, mix with honey to form pills the size of a wu zi [aphanisma seed]. Take five pills. Do not allow the patient to eat until full. If bloating and shortness of breath occur after eating, taking this pill will resolve the symptoms.
