我十三岁时父亲去世,母亲以教育为爱我之根本,但我年过四十仍一事无成,自认为膝下侍奉父母的医药之道足以尽孝道,却突然遭遇永别之恨,泪水流干而悲痛不止。我曾尝试为陈氏母亲治疗,她素来患有头风病,每年发作十几次,发作时必定呕吐痰涎,并伴有昏眩症状。于是得到默斋抚干叔父的乌辛茶方,此后发作次数稍减,即使发作也易于痊愈。近来川乌、附子不易获得,每次听说有人进京,必定先买川乌。或者外出时也预先配制几服药以备使用。前些年有时鼻塞不通,有时脾胃虚弱无味,根据证候审察方剂,储备药材合制药剂,或制成丸剂或散剂,早晨构思晚上完成,从未敢向市场购买成品。头风病一年多没有再发作了。况且饮食突然增多,只感觉脚力略微疲软,年初在家吃素,吃饭则吃完一碗羹汤,也被称赞美味。炬卿私下对母亲说,您今年七十岁而胃府功能如此良好,长寿有何可疑呢?过了八天,忽然在右耳旁长出小红粟粒大小的肿块,第二天右脸颊和右眼都很肿胀,请医生诊治。用药敷贴,脓毒逐渐排出,医生说可以慢慢消退,谨慎过度,专门保守头部面部,不可妄施针砭之说。有人建议灸三里穴下方以抽取毒气,医生坚持反对。不久,肿胀更加坚硬,像疮但根部很大,名为疖却反而没有脓液,外部不热内部不痛。十天后病情才变得非常危急。我的母亲到来,对炬卿说:“你抄录方子喜好药物,为什么不懂这个?”此证在仓促慌乱中不知所措,换其他医生也说没有办法。母亲神识清醒,但最终未能挽救。时光飞逝,很快到了卒哭祭日。有客人带来蜀本《灸经》和竹马灸法展示给我,详细叙述其疗效显著,内在鬓疽、疔疮都知道都有灸法,而竹马这一法则各种病症无不治愈。痛啊,痛啊!后悔莫及啊。炬卿平时常常担心风邪在头目,还认为老人如果有隐疾,可以延长寿命,幸好头风已经痊愈,又谁知道危重病症会悄悄发作,喜悦未几而痛苦无穷无尽啊。这就是所以我仰天捶胸吐血的原因。世间有此方,我不早见到它,我母亲不在了而方子还在,方子存在而后人有机会早见到它,或许虽然我母亲来不及救治但还是能救治他人吧。于是将乌辛茶方一并刊印流传。我母亲是山阴博古石氏女子。
淳佑乙巳年五月初一,孤学乡贡进士孙炬卿序
At the age of thirteen, I lost my father. My mother loved me by emphasizing education, yet by the time I passed forty, I had achieved nothing. I believed that the medicinal knowledge at my parents' knees was sufficient to fulfill my filial duties for this life, but suddenly I embraced the eternal regret of losing them; my tears dried up, yet the pain remained unceasing. I once attempted to treat Mother Chen, who had long suffered from head wind disease (toufeng), attacking more than ten times a year. Each attack was accompanied by vomiting phlegm and dizziness. Thus, I obtained the Wuxin Tea prescription (Wuxin Cha) from Uncle Muzhai, a Fugan official. Consequently, the frequency of attacks decreased slightly, and even when they occurred, recovery was easier. Recently, Chuanwu (Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata) and Fuzi (Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata) have been difficult to obtain. Whenever I heard of someone traveling to the capital, buying Chuanwu was always my priority. Even on other trips, I would pre-prepare several doses for use. In previous years, sometimes I suffered from nasal congestion, or weak spleen with loss of taste. Examining the condition and adjusting the formula, I stored materials and compounded agents, making either pills or powders, conceived in the morning and completed in the evening, never daring to seek them in markets. The head wind disease did not recur for over a year. Furthermore, my diet suddenly increased, though I only felt slight weakness in my legs. On New Year's Day, I usually ate vegetarian food at home; if eating rice, I would finish a bowl of soup, which was also praised as delicious. Juqing privately told my mother, "You are seventy this year, yet your stomach organ functions so well; how can there be doubt about your longevity?" Eight days later, a small red millet-grain-sized swelling appeared beside the right ear. The next day, the right cheek and right eye were quite swollen. I summoned a doctor to examine her. Medicinal applications were used, and pus/toxins gradually emerged. The doctor said it could slowly subside. Being overly cautious, we strictly guarded the head and face, adhering to the saying that acupuncture and moxibustion should not be applied recklessly. Someone suggested moxibustion below the Zusanli point (ST36) to draw out the toxin, but the doctor insisted against it. Soon after, the swelling became harder, resembling a boil but with a large root, named a boil (jie) but lacking pus, external heat absent and internal pain nonexistent. Only after ten days did the condition become critically distressing. My mother arrived and said to Juqing, "You copy prescriptions and favor medicines, why do you not understand? In this panic, we knew not what to do. Other doctors also claimed no strategy." Mother's consciousness remained clear, yet she could not be saved. Days and months do not wait; soon came the period of mourning. A guest brought to show me the Shu edition of *Jiu Jing* (Classic of Moxibustion) and the Zhuma Moxibustion method, detailing their verified efficacy. It was known that internal temporal carbuncles and ding sores all had moxibustion treatments, and the Zhuma method cured all conditions without exception. Alas, alas! How could I lament in vain? Juqing often worried about wind in the head and eyes, still thinking that if an elder had hidden ailments, it might prolong life. Fortunately, the head wind had recovered, yet who would suspect that a critical condition would secretly erupt? Joy lasted briefly, followed by boundless pain. This is why I beat my chest and vomited blood looking at the sky. Since this prescription exists in the world, if I had seen it earlier, my mother would still be alive, yet the prescription remains. If the prescription remains, future generations may see it early. Perhaps although my mother could not be saved, others can be. Therefore, I published the Wuxin Tea prescription together to transmit it. My mother was from the Bo Gu Shi family of Shanyin.
On the first day of the fifth month of the Yisi year of Chunyou, Sun Juqing, the solitary scholar and provincial recommended jinshi, wrote the preface.
