（鬼气附）
《巢氏病源》小儿为鬼所持候∶小儿神气软弱，精爽微羸，而神魂被鬼所持录，其状不觉有余疾，直尔萎黄，
多大啼唤，口气常臭是也。
《婴童宝鉴》小儿鬼持歌∶
小儿气弱命中衰，魂魄多应被鬼持。其候萎黄多哭地，不须用药可求师。
《婴童宝鉴》又小儿鬼气歌∶
鬼气皮肤里，相传脏腑开。肿虚如水病， 似惊痫。热发浑身涩，心挛痛所攒。小儿还有此，服药急医看。
《图经》治鬼持方。
上用虎睛、爪，并指、骨、毛以系小儿臂上，辟恶鬼。
《外台》∶《深师》五邪丸 疗邪狂鬼魅妄言，狂走恍惚不识人，此为鬼忤，当得杀鬼丸方。
丹砂 雄黄（各别研） 龙骨 马目毒公 鬼箭（各五两） 鬼臼（二两） 赤小豆（三两） 芫青（一枚） 桃
仁（百枚，去皮尖，熬，别研）
上九味捣、下筛，细绢筛，和诸药拌，令和调后内蜡和之，大如弹丸，绛囊盛之。系臂，男左女右，小儿系
头。合药勿令妇人、鸡犬见之，所服蜜和丸如梧子，一服三丸，日三。忌五辛、生血物。
《巢氏病源》小儿疰候∶疰之言住也，谓其风邪鬼气留人身内也。人无问大小，若血气虚衰，则阴阳失守，
风邪鬼气因而客之，留住肌肉之间，连滞脏腑之内。或皮肤掣动，游易无常；或心腹刺痛；或体热皮肿，沉滞
至死。死又疰易旁人，故为疰也。小儿不能触冒风邪，多因乳母解脱之时，不避温凉暑湿，或抱持出入早晚，
其神魂软弱而为鬼气所伤，故病也。
《千金》治小儿疰方。
上用灶中灰、盐等分相和，熬，熨之。
《千金》太一备急散 主卒中恶、客忤、五尸入腹、鬼刺、鬼痱及中蛊疰吐血、下血及心腹卒痛，腹满，伤寒，
热毒病六、七日方。
雄黄 芫花 桂心（各二两） 丹砂 蜀椒（各一两） 藜芦 巴豆（各一分） 附子（五分，炮裂，去皮脐） 野
葛（三分）
上九味，巴豆别治如脂，余合治下筛，以巴豆合和，更捣之，合和调以铜器中，密贮之，勿泄。有急候，
水服一字匕，可加至半钱匕，老小半之。病在头，当鼻衄；在膈上，吐；在膈下，利；在四肢，当汗出。此
之所为如汤沃雪，手下皆愈。秘之，非医不传。
《千金》治疰病相染易，及霍乱中恶，小儿客忤，长病方。

（一枚）
上十一味末之，蜜丸。空腹服如麻子大二丸，加至五丸，以知为度。
【鬼气附】
《巢氏病源》中关于小儿被鬼气附着的证候描述：小儿神气虚弱，精神与形体消瘦，导致神魂被鬼气所控制。其症状表现为没有明显的其他疾病迹象，只是面色萎黄，经常大声啼哭，口中常有臭味。
《婴童宝鉴》中的《小儿鬼持歌》写道：
小儿元气虚弱，命运衰败，魂魄大多会被鬼气所控制。其征象是面色萎黄、在地上多哭，这种情况下不需要用药，应当寻求法师（或道士）的帮助。
《婴童宝鉴》又载《小儿鬼气歌》：
鬼气潜伏于皮肤之内，通过脏腑之间的空隙相互传染。身体浮肿虚软如同水肿病，症状类似惊痫。发热时全身皮肤干涩，心中拘挛疼痛且伴有攒聚感。小儿若患此病，应尽快服药请医生诊治。
《图经》记载治疗鬼气附着的方剂。
上方使用虎的眼睛、爪子，以及手指、骨头、毛发，系在小儿手臂上，以驱避恶鬼。
《外台秘要》引用《深师方》的五邪丸，用于治疗邪气狂乱、鬼魅妄言、疯狂奔跑、恍惚不识人等症状，这属于鬼气冲逆之症，应当采用杀鬼丸的方子。
药材包括：丹砂、雄黄（分别研磨）、龙骨、马目毒公、鬼箭羽（各五两）、鬼臼（二两）、赤小豆（三两）、芫青（一枚）、桃仁（一百枚，去皮尖，炒制，单独研磨）。
以上九味药捣碎过筛，用细绢筛过滤，将诸药混合拌匀，调和后加入蜡块与之融合，制成如弹丸大小的药丸，用红色丝囊盛装。系在手臂上，男子系左手，女子系右手，小儿系在头上。制药时不要让妇女、鸡犬看见。服用时用蜂蜜调和药丸如梧桐子大小，每次服三丸，每日三次。忌食五辛及生血之物。
《巢氏病源》中关于小儿疰病的证候描述：“疰”字意为停留，指风邪鬼气停留在人体内部。无论年龄大小的人，如果气血虚弱衰退，就会导致阴阳失衡，风邪鬼气趁机侵入，停留在肌肉之间，连滞于脏腑之内。有的表现为皮肤牵拉跳动，游走不定；有的表现为心腹刺痛；有的表现为身体发热、皮肤肿胀，病情沉重直至死亡。死后病气又会传染给旁人，所以称为“疰”。小儿不能抵御风邪侵袭，多因乳母在解衣哺乳之时，不注意避开温凉暑湿，或者早晚抱孩子出入，导致小儿神魂软弱而被鬼气所伤，从而患病。
《千金方》治疗小儿疰病的方剂。
上方使用灶心土灰、盐各等分混合，加热后熨烫患处。
《千金方》中的太一备急散，主治卒中恶气、客忤、五尸入腹、鬼刺、鬼痱以及中蛊疰导致的吐血、下血和心腹突然疼痛、腹部胀满、伤寒热毒病发病六七天后的情况。
药材包括：雄黄、芫花、桂心（各二两）、丹砂、蜀椒（各一两）、藜芦、巴豆（各一分）、附子（五分，炮裂，去皮脐）、野葛（三分）。
以上九味药，巴豆单独处理成脂状，其余药物混合捣碎过筛，再将巴豆脂混合其中，再次捣匀，放入铜器中调和密封储存，不要泄漏。遇到紧急症状，用水送服一字匕的量，可加至半钱匕，老人小孩减半。病位在头部，会引起鼻出血；病位在膈肌以上，会引起呕吐；病位在膈肌以下，会引起腹泻；病位在四肢，会引起出汗。此药效力如同热水浇雪，手下即愈。此方保密，非医师不传。
《千金方》治疗疰病相互传染，以及霍乱中恶、小儿客忤、久治不愈的方剂。
药材包括：獭肝（一个）、雄黄、莽草、丹砂、鬼臼、犀角、巴豆（各一两）、麝香（二分）、大黄、牛黄（各一两）、蜈蚣（一条）。
以上十一味药研成粉末，用蜂蜜制成丸药。空腹服用，初服如麻子大小的两丸，逐渐增加至五丸，以见效为度。
[Attached with Ghost Qi]
*Chao Shi Bing Yuan* (Source of Diseases by Chao) describes the syndrome of children being possessed by ghost qi: Children have weak divine spirit (Shen Qi), with diminished vitality and emaciated physique, causing their soul (Hun) to be controlled by ghost qi. The presentation shows no obvious other ailments, but rather a sallow complexion, frequent loud crying, and persistent foul breath.
The *Xiao'er Gui Chi Ge* (Song on Child Possession by Ghost Qi) from *Ying Tong Bao Jian* states:
Children with weak vital energy and declining destiny often have their hun and po controlled by ghosts. Their signs include a sallow complexion and frequent crying on the ground; in such cases, medication is unnecessary, and one should seek help from a master (exorcist).
Another song, *Xiao'er Gui Qi Ge*, also from *Ying Tong Bao Jian*, states:
Ghost qi resides within the skin and spreads through the openings of the zang-fu organs. The body becomes swollen and flaccid like edema, resembling convulsions or epilepsy. Fever causes dryness of the whole body, with spasmodic pain in the heart and abdomen. If children suffer from this, they must take medicine urgently and see a doctor.
*TU Jing* records a formula for treating possession by ghost qi.
The above method uses tiger eyes, claws, fingers, bones, and hair tied to the child's arm to ward off evil ghosts.
*Waitai Miyao* cites *Shen Shi Fang*'s Wu Xie Wan (Five Evils Pill) to treat madness caused by evil spirits, delirious speech, frantic running, confusion, and inability to recognize people. This is considered a counter-attack by ghost qi, and the Sha Gui Wan (Ghost-Killing Pill) formula should be used.
Ingredients: Cinnabar (Dan Sha), Realgar (Xiong Huang) (each separately ground), Dragon Bone (Long Gu), Ma Mu Du Gong, Aralia elata root bark (Gui Jian Yu) (each 5 liang), Akebia fruit (Gui Jiu) (2 liang), Adzuki bean (Chi Xiao Dou) (3 liang), Mylabris (Yuan Qing) (1 piece), Peach Kernel (Tao Ren) (100 pieces, peeled, tips removed, roasted, and separately ground).
Crush the above nine ingredients, sieve them, pass through fine silk, mix the medicines thoroughly, blend them, add wax, and form pills the size of a bullet. Store them in a crimson silk pouch. Tie to the arm: left for males, right for females; for children, tie to the head. Do not let women, chickens, or dogs see the preparation. Take honey-combined pills the size of a wutong seed, three pills per dose, three times daily. Avoid five pungent spices and raw blood products.
*Chao Shi Bing Yuan* describes the syndrome of childhood zhu disease: "Zhu" means to stay or remain, referring to wind pathogens and ghost qi lingering inside the human body. Regardless of age, if blood and qi are deficient and declining, yin and yang lose their balance, allowing wind pathogens and ghost qi to invade and lodge between the muscles and linger within the zang-fu organs. Symptoms may include twitching of the skin that moves unpredictably; stabbing pain in the heart and abdomen; fever with swollen skin; or a heavy, stagnant condition leading to death. After death, the pathogen can transmit to others, hence it is called "zhu." Children cannot withstand wind pathogens well; illness often occurs when wet nurses expose themselves to temperature changes, dampness, or heat while undressing for breastfeeding, or when carrying children out early and late, causing the child's weak soul to be injured by ghost qi.
*Qian Jin Fang* records a formula for treating childhood zhu disease.
Use equal parts of ash from the kitchen stove and salt, mix, heat, and apply as a hot compress (moxibustion-like application).
Tai Yi Bei Ji San (Great One Emergency-Prepared Powder) from *Qian Jin Fang* treats sudden onset of evil qi, ke-wu (hostile encounter), five corpses entering the abdomen, ghost stabs, ghost paralysis, hematemesis and hematochezia due to gu-zhu poisoning, sudden abdominal pain, abdominal distension, cold damage, and heat-toxin diseases after six or seven days.
Ingredients: Realgar (Xiong Huang), Genkwa Flower (Yuan Hua), Cassia Twig (Gui Xin) (each 2 liang); Cinnabar (Dan Sha), Sichuan Pepper (Shu Jiao) (each 1 liang); Veratrum (Li Lu), Croton Seed (Ba Dou) (each 1 fen); Prepared Aconite Root (Fu Zi) (5 fen, processed until cracked, peel and navel removed); Kadsura Longipedunculata Root Bark (Ye Ge) (3 fen).
Process the Ba Dou separately into a paste. Grind the remaining eight ingredients together and sieve. Mix the Ba Dou paste with the powder, pound again, combine in a copper vessel, seal tightly, and prevent leakage. For emergencies, administer with water using a measure of "one character spoon"; this can be increased to half a "half-qian spoon." Reduce the dose for elderly and young patients. If the disease is in the head, epistaxis will occur; if above the diaphragm, vomiting will occur; if below the diaphragm, diarrhea will occur; if in the limbs, sweating will occur. This remedy acts like hot water melting snow, bringing immediate recovery. Keep this secret; do not transmit to non-medics.
*Qian Jin Fang* records a formula for treating the transmission of zhu disease, as well as cholera with sudden evil qi, childhood ke-wu, and chronic prolonged illnesses.
Ingredients: Hyrax Liver (Ta Gan) (one piece); Realgar (Xiong Huang), Herba Siegesbeckiae (Mang Cao), Cinnabar (Dan Sha), Akebia Fruit (Gui Jiu), Rhinoceros Horn (Xi Jiao), Croton Seed (Ba Dou) (each 1 liang); Musk (She Xiang) (2 fen); Rhubarb (Da Huang), Bovine Calculus (Niu Huang) (each 1 liang); Centipede (Wu Gong) (one piece).
Grind the above eleven ingredients into powder, make pills with honey. Take two pills the size of hemp seeds on an empty stomach, increasing up to five pills, stopping when efficacy is achieved.
