蒙汗药大约用天仙子为君，加狐心等物，虽不杀人，然令人迷而不醒。山东村
杏多乘心迷，以取财物，醒来全不记忆，恍惚不能辨别，所以道途误服蒙汗药，以致
头重足轻，口吐涎沫，目瞪不言，此迷心之故也。虽不杀人，久迷不醒亦可畏人。凉
水解之，亦能少苏，但凉水入心，水停心下，倘虚人必变他证。
或曰∶此证必是痰迷心窍，宜生姜开之，投以姜汁乎？殊不知药中天仙子居多，
得姜汁愈迷其心矣。故不可用也。

水煎服，即大吐而醒，其从前事断不遗忘，不似凉水之解，如醉如痴也。

蒙汗药大致以天仙子为主要成分，加入狐心等药物，虽然不会致死，但会使人昏迷不醒。山东地区杏树较多，有人利用人心迷乱之机，趁机窃取财物，患者醒来后完全没有任何记忆，精神恍惚无法辨别事物。因此，有人在途中误服蒙汗药，导致头部沉重、脚底轻飘，口吐涎沫，双眼直视不能言语，这都是因为心神被蒙蔽的缘故。虽然蒙汗药不致命，但若长期昏迷不醒也令人畏惧。用凉水解毒，也能让人稍微苏醒，但凉水进入心脏，水液停滞在心下，如果是体质虚弱的人，必定会引发其他病变。
有人问：这个病症一定是痰浊蒙蔽了心窍，应该用生姜来开窍，服用姜汁吗？殊不知蒙汗药中天仙子的成分居多，遇到姜汁反而会使心神更加迷乱。所以不能使用姜汁。
止迷汤
白茯苓（五钱） 生甘草（二钱） 瓜蒂（七个） 陈皮（五分）
用水煎服，服药后会剧烈呕吐而苏醒，之前发生的事情绝对不会遗忘，不像用凉水解毒那样，人处于如醉如痴的状态。
另一个方子：饮用凉水即可安定。
凡是饮用了鸩酒，会出现白眼向上翻，身体发生寒战，神志恍惚不知人事，呈现大醉的样子，心中虽然明白但不能说话，等到眼睛闭合就会死亡。鸩毒是鸩鸟的粪便，不是鸩鸟的羽毛，也不是鹤顶红。鸩羽和鹤顶红都不杀人，只会让人生病。只有鸩粪是有毒的，这种鸟出自异国，外国人担心人们轻视鸟粪，所以只说“鸩”，以示其贵重。这种鸟不吃蛇蝎，所以毒性比孔雀粪更甚，孔雀粪冲酒喝，有的人死有的人不死，而饮用鸩酒则没有不死的。大概是因为鸩毒性热且作用缓慢，善于闭塞人的气机，所以不能说话；必然出现寒战，是因为心中热毒炽盛，心脉连通于目，心热则眼球上视，眼睛闭合说明心气绝灭，所以死亡，幸好鸩毒发作缓慢，还可以施救。（鸩读音为chěng）
Menghan Yao (Knockout Drug) generally uses Hyoscyamus niger seed (Tianxianzi, 天仙子的主要成分) as the chief ingredient, added with substances such as fox heart. Although it is not lethal, it causes unconsciousness and inability to wake up. In Shandong, where apricot trees are abundant, some people take advantage of mental confusion to steal property; upon waking, patients have no memory at all, feel disoriented and unable to distinguish reality. Therefore, those who accidentally ingest Menghan Yao on the road suffer from a heavy head and light feet, salivation, staring eyes, and mutism, which is due to the clouding of the Heart spirit. Although not fatal, prolonged unconsciousness is also frightening. Cooling water can detoxify it to some extent, allowing slight recovery, but if cooling water enters the Heart and stagnates below the Heart, in deficient individuals, it will likely transform into other syndromes.
One might ask: This syndrome must be phlegm clouding the orifices of the Heart; should we use fresh ginger to open the orifices by administering ginger juice? Little do they know that Menghan Yao contains a large amount of Tianxianzi; encountering ginger juice will further confuse the Heart spirit. Therefore, it cannot be used.
Zhi Mi Tang (Stop Confusion Decoction)
Poria cocos (Baifuling, 白茯苓) - 5 qian
Raw licorice root (Sheng Gancao, 生甘草) - 2 qian
Melon stalk tip (Gua Di, 瓜蒂) - 7 pieces
Tangerine peel (Chenpi, 陈皮) - 5 fen
Decoct in water and drink. It will induce severe vomiting and awakening; previous events will not be forgotten, unlike detoxification with cooling water which leaves one in a drunken, dazed state.
Another prescription: Drinking cooling water brings relief.
Whenever someone drinks Zhen Jiu (Viper Wine/Poisoned Wine), their white eyes roll upward, the body shivers with cold, consciousness becomes vague and unaware, resembling a state of deep intoxication. The mind remains clear, but speech is impossible. Death occurs when the eyes close. Zhen poison is actually the feces of the Zhen bird, not its feathers, nor is it the red crest of a crane. Zhen feathers and crane crests do not kill people; they only cause illness. Only Zhen feces are toxic. This bird originates from foreign lands; foreigners feared that mentioning bird feces would lead people to despise it, so they simply referred to it as "Zhen" to imply its preciousness. This bird does not eat snakes or scorpions, so its toxicity is greater than that of peacock feces. Peacock feces mixed with wine may cause death in some but not others, whereas drinking Zhen poison ensures death without exception. Generally, Zhen poison is hot in nature and acts slowly, effectively blocking the flow of Qi, hence the inability to speak. The inevitable chills are due to intense heat-toxin in the Heart; the Heart vessels connect to the eyes, so Heart heat causes upward gaze. Eye closure indicates the exhaustion of Heart Qi, leading to death. Fortunately, the slow onset allows for rescue efforts. (Zhen is pronounced 'cheng')
