〔大〕夫人禀五行秀气而生,承五脏神气而养。若阴阳调和,脏腑强盛,邪魅安得

泣,是其候也。脉息迟伏,或如鸟啄,或绵绵而来,不知度数,而面色不改,亦其候也。
〔薛〕前证多由七情亏损心血,神无所护而然,宜用安神定志等药,则正气复而神
自安。若脉来乍大乍小,乍短乍长,亦是鬼祟,宜灸鬼哭穴。以患人两手拇指相并,用
线紧扎,当合缝处半肉半甲间,灼灸七壮,若果是邪祟病者,即乞求免灸,云我自去矣。

[大论] 人禀受五行秀气而生,承受五脏神气而滋养。如果阴阳调和,脏腑强盛,邪魅怎么能干扰呢?如果摄养调理失当,血气虚衰,那么鬼邪就会侵犯正气,(患者)隐蔽自己不想见人,有时独自说笑,有时突然悲伤哭泣,这是其征候。脉象迟伏,或像鸟啄米一样急促断续,或绵绵而来,不知节律,而面色没有改变,也是其征候。
[薛己] 上述证候多由七情亏损心血,神无所护持所致,适宜使用安神定志等药物,则正气恢复而神自安。如果脉象忽大忽小,忽短忽长,也是鬼祟作怪,适宜灸鬼哭穴。让患者两手拇指并拢,用线紧紧扎住,在合缝处半肉半甲之间,灼灸七壮,如果确实是邪祟病,患者就会乞求停止灸治,说“我自己就走了”。

桃枭,又名桃奴,是过年挂在树上不落的干桃子,味苦微温,主要功效是杀灭百鬼精物,治疗中恶腹痛,杀灭精魅五毒不祥之物。正月采集。
[Da Lun] Human beings are born from the refined qi of the Five Elements and nourished by the spiritual qi of the Five Zang organs. If Yin and Yang are harmonious and the Zang-Fu organs are strong, how can evil demons interfere? If regimen and regulation are improper, leading to deficiency and decline of blood and Qi, then ghostly evils will invade the righteous Qi. The patient hides themselves, unwilling to see others, speaks and laughs alone at times, and suddenly weeps in sorrow at other times; this is their manifestation. The pulse is slow and deep, or abrupt like a bird pecking, or continuous but without discernible rhythm, while the facial color remains unchanged; this is also a manifestation.
[Xue Ji] The aforementioned syndromes are mostly caused by emotional injuries damaging Heart Blood, leaving the Shen (Spirit) without protection. It is appropriate to use medicines such as Anshen Dingzhi Wan (Calming the Spirit and Stabilizing Will Decoction), so that righteous Qi recovers and the Shen becomes tranquil naturally. If the pulse fluctuates between large and small, short and long, it is also due to demonic influence. It is appropriate to moxa the Guiku Acupoint (Ghost Cry). Have the patient join the thumbs of both hands tightly bound with thread. At the junction where flesh meets nail, apply seven moxibustion cones. If it is indeed a demonic disease, the patient will beg to stop the moxibustion, saying "I will leave on my own."
