治瘟疫，虽以用药为尚，而宜忌尤不可以不讲也。不知所宜，不能以速愈；不知所忌，更足以
益疾。兹特取所宜所忌者如干条，开列于下，俾病家医者有所持循遵守，庶投剂有灵而养 无弊
矣。
房中不可烧诸香，只宜焚降真。（诸香燥烈，降香除邪。）不宜见日光，（太阳真火。）不宜
见灯光。（总以火故。）卧须就地，南方即在地塘版上布席卧。（亦就阴远热之意。）衣被不可太暖，
宁可稍薄，唯足宜常暖。不必戴帽。风有应避、不应避。（风能解热清凉，有涤疫之功，正疫家
对症妙药，不必垂帘密室，病者言不欲见风，避之可也。）不可恼怒，（病时病后俱宜戒。）食莫
过饱，（病时病后皆宜戒。）尤忌鱼肉，（病时病后。）忌房事，（病后。）忌劳心力，（病后。）
涤舌散火，（蜜润刮之。）愈后半月，不可食韭。（食即发。）忌饮烧酒，陆路不可坐车。（震动
之，病增剧，不救。当宜静，不宜动。）愈后浴冷水，损心包。
盖闻河洛开灵符之源，诅祝寄神咒之意，载在经典，炳若日星。至于释氏仙翁，则更以符咒为
宗要，神而明之，可以飞升，况以之却病乎！兹取试之有效者，敬录数则，以佐药饵所不及。皆
出自佛经道藏，并非邪说之可同日而语也。

送瘟疫时灾吉凶诗
甲子送神神便去，乙丑若送损人凶。 癸巳送神病不愈，甲午损人不须详。
丙寅宜向南方送，送瘟之后主兴隆。 乙未丙申并丁酉，此三日送仍还乡。
丁卯戊辰送必凶，己巳南方千里通。 戊戌己亥主半去，庚子辛丑西不归。
庚午辛未伤人命，壬申癸酉不回踪。 壬寅送神神不去，癸卯亦吉永无危。
甲戌须教大难当，乙亥丙子送西方。 甲辰乙巳三口亏，丙午丁未南行利。
丁丑戊寅千里外，己卯直去不回房。 戊申送神神又转，己酉庚戌去无疑。
庚辰辛巳送大吉，壬午癸未送西安。 辛亥壬子并癸丑，甲寅乙卯病依旧。
甲申乙酉与丙戌，送瘟去后不回还。 丙辰丁巳不回还，戊午送来病相守。
丁亥送神仍旧病，戊子己丑宜西行。 己未送瘟损人口，莫用庚申并辛酉。
庚寅辛卯壬辰日，送瘟反见不安宁。 壬戌癸亥总不宜，仙人口诀当遵守。
凡感瘟疫之家，按花甲宜送之日，有方向者，照方向用香楮送之。无方向者，
随便送之大吉。
治疗瘟疫，虽然以用药为最重要，但适宜与禁忌更是不可以不讲求的。不知道适宜的调养方法，就不能使疾病迅速痊愈；不知道禁忌的事项，更足以加重病情。这里特别选取若干条适宜与禁忌的内容，开列在下面，以便病人家属和医生有所遵循遵守，这样处方用药才能灵验，而养护身体没有弊端。
卧室中不可焚烧各种香料，只宜焚烧降香。（各种香料性质燥热猛烈，降香能祛除邪气。）不宜见到日光。（因为太阳是真火。）不宜见到灯光。（总之是因为火的原因。）睡觉必须贴近地面，南方地区可以直接在地塘板上铺席子睡。（这也是顺应阴气、远离热气的意思。）衣被不可太暖和，宁可稍微薄一点，只有脚部应当经常保暖。不必戴帽子。风有应该躲避的、有不应该躲避的。（风能散热清凉，有清除疫毒的功效，正是瘟疫患者对症的妙药，不必垂下帘子躲在密室里，如果病人说不想见风，躲避一下也可以。）不可恼怒生气。（患病期间及病后都应当戒除。）饮食不要过饱。（患病期间及病后都应当戒除。）尤其忌讳吃鱼肉。（患病期间及病后。）忌讳房事。（病后。）忌讳过度劳心费力。（病后。）用蜜润湿刮拭舌头以散火。（用蜂蜜润湿后刮舌。）痊愈后半个月，不可吃韭菜。（吃了就会复发。）忌讳饮用烧酒（白酒），陆路旅行不可坐车。（震动会使病情加剧，无法救治。应当安静，不应当活动。）痊愈后洗冷水澡，会损伤心包络。
我听说河图洛书开启了灵符的源头，诅祝寄托了神咒的意义，记载在经典之中，像日月星辰一样显著。至于佛教的仙翁，更是以符咒为宗要核心，神奇地阐明它，可以飞升成仙，何况用它来驱除疾病呢！这里选取经过试用有效的几条，恭敬地记录下来，以辅助药物所不及之处。这些都出自佛经道藏，并不是那些邪说可以相提并论的。
赤灵符
抱朴子说：在初五这一天，用朱砂书写赤灵符，贴在心前，可以祛除瘟疫和百病。（正月初一佩戴）

避瘟神咒
嘛呢 （音烘） （音畔）叱
遇到瘟疫疠气盛行的时候，用朱砂写在黄纸上，带在身边，再不时诵读这个神咒，可以避开邪气瘟疫。患瘟疫的人，发汗后如果看见鬼神，胡言乱语不能入睡，用朱砂写这个咒语，佩戴在身上非常有效。
御瘟符咒
太上净明御瘟经略说：天地无私，陶冶铸造万物，本来没有善恶之分，世人却自私自利。所以产生灾祸，饮食不知禁忌，服药不合时宜，善行既未听闻，过错则可以陈述。执法的神灵，得以窥测，散布这种毒瓦斯。一旦形成疾病，不醒悟自己的罪过，不能保护自身，反而怨恨道士责怪师父，他的病就会更加严重。大凡四季调养，务必适中，服药吐纳，以生发正气，我有神符，使其佩服，合免此难，兼有秘咒。每天如果能斋戒并诵读它，神灵将日夜护卫，瘟毒百神都知道他是太上老君的弟子，畏惧并尊敬他。诵读到一百遍，百鬼头破脑裂而散去。咒语说：HT （音纳。）暮 混（HT 音马。HT音吕。HT 。音歆。）
九天高明大使神功妙济真君驱瘟遣瘟消灾真符。（二十字作一句读。）
画符用朱砂写在黄绢上，左手结五雷诀，右手举笔，念咒说：洞天赤文，丹灵耀虚，驱瘟摄毒，奉命天书，金录玉简，嵬鬼悉驱，太上有敕，元君安居，急急如太虚紫清律令敕。

The treatment of plague, although prioritizing the use of medicinal herbs, must also strictly observe dietary and behavioral taboos. Ignorance of what is appropriate prevents rapid recovery; ignorance of what is forbidden only serves to aggravate the disease. Herein, several specific items regarding what is appropriate and what is forbidden are listed below, so that patients' families and physicians may have guidelines to follow, ensuring that prescriptions are effective and care causes no harm.
Incense should not be burned in the bedroom; only Jiangxiang (Aquilaria sinensis) should be burned. (Various incenses are dry and acrid; Aquilaria sinensis dispels evil pathogens.) Exposure to sunlight should be avoided. (Sunlight represents true Yang fire.) Exposure to lamplight should be avoided. (Generally, due to the nature of fire.) Sleeping should take place close to the ground; in southern regions, one may sleep directly on floorboards with a mat spread out. (This follows the principle of aligning with Yin and distancing from heat.) Bedding should not be too warm; it is better to be slightly thin, but the feet should always be kept warm. Wearing a hat is unnecessary. Regarding wind, some should be avoided and some should not. (Wind can dissipate heat and provide cooling, possessing the function of cleansing epidemic toxins; it is an excellent remedy for plague patients. There is no need to hide behind curtains in a sealed room. If the patient expresses a desire not to see wind, avoiding it is acceptable.) One must avoid anger and indignation. (To be abstained from during illness and convalescence.) Food intake should not exceed satiety. (To be abstained from during illness and convalescence.) Consumption of meat and fish is particularly taboo. (During illness and convalescence.) Sexual intercourse is taboo. (After illness.) Mental and physical exertion is taboo. (After illness.) The tongue should be scraped with honey to disperse fire. (Moisten with honey before scraping.) For half a month after recovery, leeks (Allium tuberosum) must not be eaten. (Consumption triggers relapse.) Drinking distilled liquor (Baijiu) is taboo. Traveling by cart on land routes is prohibited. (Vibration exacerbates the condition, leading to untreatable deterioration. Stillness is preferred over movement.) Taking cold water baths after recovery damages the Pericardium (Xinbao).
I have heard that the origins of spiritual talismans stem from Hetu and Luoshu, and the meaning of divine spells resides in curses, as recorded in classics, shining brightly like the sun and stars. As for the immortals of Buddhism, they regard talismans and spells as their core essence. By mystically elucidating them, one can ascend to immortality; how much more so can they be used to expel disease? Herein, several tested and effective examples are respectfully recorded to supplement where herbal medicine falls short. These are all derived from Buddhist sutras and Daoist canon, and are not comparable to heretical doctrines.
Chi Ling Talisman (Red Spirit Talisman)
Baopuzi states: On the fifth day, write the Chi Ling Talisman with cinnabar and place it on the chest to dispel plague and hundred diseases. (Wear on the first day of the first lunar month.)

Bi Wen Shen Zhou (Plague-Avoiding Divine Spell)
Mani (pronounced Hong) Pan Chi
When epidemic plagues prevail, write this spell with cinnabar on yellow paper, carry it on your person, and recite this divine spell occasionally to ward off evil pathogens and epidemics. For plague patients who, after sweating, hallucinate spirits and gods, speak deliriously, and cannot sleep, writing this spell with cinnabar and wearing it yields miraculous effects.
Yu Wen Fu Zhou (Plague-Defying Talisman and Spell)
The Outline of the Supreme Pure Way Plague-Defying Scripture states: Heaven and Earth are impartial, molding all things, originally having no good or evil; yet humans are selfish. Thus disasters arise. Dietary taboos are ignored, medication is taken at improper times, goodness is unheard of, and faults are numerous. The deities of punishment observe this and distribute toxic vapors. Once illness sets in, if one does not realize their transgressions and fails to protect themselves, instead blaming the Daoist priest, the illness worsens. Generally, seasonal regulation must be moderate. Medication and breathing exercises generate righteous Qi (Zhengqi). I possess divine talismans for you to wear and recite, which will help avoid such calamities, along with secret spells. If one can fast and recite daily, divine generals will guard day and night. The hundred spirits of plague toxin will know he is a disciple of the Supreme Elder, fearing and respecting him. Reciting up to one hundred times causes a hundred ghosts to shatter their heads and scatter. The spell says: HT (pronounced Na). Mu Hun (HT pronounced Ma. HT pronounced Lyu. HT . pronounced Xin.)
Jiu Tian Gao Ming Da Shi Shen Gong Miao Ji Zhen Jun Qu Wen Qian Wen Xiao Zai Zhen Fu (The True Talisman of the High Envoy of the Nine Heavens, Great Deity, Wonderful Salvation, True Lord, to Drive Away Plague, Dispatch Epidemic, and Eliminate Disaster). (Read the twenty characters as one sentence.)
Write the talisman with cinnabar on yellow silk. Form the Five Thunder Mudra (Wu Lei Jue) with the left hand, raise the brush with the right hand, and chant: Dongtian Chiwen, Danling Yaoxu, Quwen Shedou, Fengming Tianshu, Jinlu Yujian, Weigui Xi qu, Taishang Youchi, Yuanjun Anju, Jiji ru Taixu Ziqing Lüling Chi.

Poem on Auspicious and Inauspicious Days for Sending Off Plague Spirits
On Jiazi days, sending off the spirit allows it to depart; on Yichou days, sending brings loss and misfortune. On Guisi days, sending off the spirit does not cure the illness; on Jiawu days, loss occurs without need for detail.
On Bingyin days, send towards the South; after sending off plague, prosperity prevails. On Yiwu, Bingshen, and Dingyou days, sending results in the spirit returning home.
Sending on Dingmao and Wuchen days is definitely inauspicious; on Jisi days, the South route is clear for thousands of miles. On Wuxu and Jihai days, the spirit leaves partially; on Gengzi and Xinchou days, it does not return west.
Gengwu and Xinwei days harm lives; Renshen and Guiyou days do not leave traces. On Renyin days, the spirit does not depart; on Guimao days, it is auspicious, bringing eternal safety.
On Jiaxu days, great disaster must be endured; on Yiha and Bingzi days, send West. On Jiachen and Yisi days, three mouths suffer loss; on Bingwu and Dingwei days, traveling South is beneficial.
Send far away on Dingchou and Wuyin days; on Jimao days, go straight and do not return home. On Wushen days, the spirit turns back; on Jiyu and Gengxu days, departure is certain.
Sending on Gengchen and Xinsi days is highly auspicious; sending on Renwu and Guiwei days reaches Xi'an. On Xinhai, Renzi, and Guichou days, illness remains as on Jiayin and Yimao days.
On Jiashen, Yiyu, and Bingxu days, once plague is sent off, it does not return. On Bingchen and Dingsi days, it does not return; on Wuwu days, sending brings illness back to stay.
Sending on Dinghai days leaves the illness unchanged; on Wuzi and Jichou days, traveling West is suitable. Sending off plague on Jiiwei days harms population; do not use Gengshen and Xinyou days.
On Gengyin, Ximao, and Renchén days, sending off plague leads to unrest. Renxu and Guihai days are generally unsuitable; abide by the immortal's verbal instructions.
For households infected with plague, according to the favorable days in the Sexagenary cycle, if there is a direction, send incense and paper offerings in that direction. If there is no direction, sending off randomly is highly auspicious.
