雷公真君曰∶凡人有郁郁不乐,忽然气塞而不能言,苟治之不得法,则死矣。夫郁症未有不伤肝
者也,伤肝又可伐肝乎?伐肝是愈助其郁,郁且不能解,又何以救死于顷刻哉。方用救肝开郁汤∶白
芍二两,柴胡一钱,甘草一钱,白芥子三钱,白术五钱,当归五钱,陈皮二钱,茯苓五钱,水煎服。
一剂而声出,再剂而神安,三剂而郁气尽解。此方妙在用白芍之多至二两,则直入肝经。以益其匮乏之
气,自然血生而
火熄;又用白术、当归健土以生血,柴胡以解郁,甘草以和中,白芥子以消膜隔之痰;又妙在多用
茯苓,使郁气与痰涎尽入于膀胱之中,而消弭于无形也。倘人有郁气不解,奄奄黄瘦,亦急以吾方
治之,何至变生不测哉。
雷公真君曰∶癫病之生也。多生于脾胃之虚寒,脾胃虚寒,所养水谷,不变精而变痰,痰凝胸膈
之间不得化,流于心而癫症生矣。苟徒治痰而不补气,未有不速之死者。方用祛癫汤∶人参五钱,白术
一两,肉桂一钱,干姜一钱,白芥子五钱,甘草五分,菖蒲五分,半夏三钱,陈皮一钱,水煎服。此
方用人参、白术专补脾胃,用桂、姜以祛寒邪,用白芥子,半夏以消顽痰,用甘草、菖蒲以引入心而开
窍,自然正气回而邪痰散。一剂神定,再剂神旺,又何癫病之不能愈哉。惟是花癫之症,乃女子思想
其人而心邪,然亦因脾胃之寒而邪入也。本方加入白芍一两,柴胡二钱,炒栀子三钱,去肉桂,治之亦
最神。一剂而癫止矣。盖柴胡、白芍、炒栀子,皆入肝以平木,祛火而散郁,故成此奇功也。
雷公真君说:大凡有人心情抑郁不乐,突然气机阻塞而不能说话,如果治疗不得法,就会死亡。郁证没有不损伤肝脏的,既然损伤了肝脏,又怎么能再克伐肝脏呢?克伐肝脏是更加助长其郁结,郁结尚且不能解除,又凭什么在顷刻之间挽救死亡呢?方用救肝开郁汤:白芍二两,柴胡一钱,甘草一钱,白芥子三钱,白术五钱,当归五钱,陈皮二钱,茯苓五钱,水煎服。服用一剂声音就能发出,服用两剂精神就能安定,服用三剂郁结之气完全解除。这个方子的妙处在于使用白芍多达二两,从而直接入肝经,以补充其匮乏之气,自然血液生成而虚火熄灭;又使用白术、当归健运脾胃以生血,柴胡以解郁结,甘草以调和中焦,白芥子以消除膈膜间的痰浊;又妙在使用多量茯苓,使郁结之气与痰涎全部进入膀胱之中,从而在无形中消散。如果有人有郁结之气不解,面色萎黄消瘦,也应当紧急用我的方子治疗,怎么会发展到发生不可预测的变化呢?
雷公真君说:癫病的发生,多生于脾胃的虚寒,脾胃虚寒,所摄入的水谷,不转化为精微而转化为痰浊,痰浊凝结在胸膈之间不能化解,流注到心脏而导致癫症产生。如果仅仅治疗痰浊而不补益正气,没有不迅速死亡的。方用祛癫汤:人参五钱,白术一两,肉桂一钱,干姜一钱,白芥子五钱,甘草五分,石菖蒲五分,半夏三钱,陈皮一钱,水煎服。这个方子用人参、白术专门补益脾胃,用肉桂、干姜以祛除寒邪,用白芥子、半夏以消除顽固痰浊,用甘草、石菖蒲以引导药力入心并开通心窍,自然正气恢复而邪痰消散。服用一剂神志安定,服用两剂精神旺盛,又有什么癫病不能治愈的呢?只是花癫这一病症,是女子思念某人导致心邪,但也因为脾胃寒凉而邪气入侵。本方加入白芍一两,柴胡二钱,炒栀子三钱,去掉肉桂,治疗也非常神奇。服用一剂癫症就停止了。因为柴胡、白芍、炒栀子,都是入肝经以平抑肝木,祛除火邪而散开郁结,所以成就此奇功。
The True Lord of Lei Gong said: Generally, when a person is depressed and unhappy, suddenly experiencing qi obstruction that prevents speech, if treated improperly, death will ensue. There is no case of Yu Syndrome (Depression Syndrome) that does not injure the Liver; since the Liver is injured, how can it be further depleted? Depleting the Liver only exacerbates the depression. If the depression cannot be resolved, how can one save life from imminent death? The prescription used is Jiu Gan Kai Yu Tang (Liver-Saving and Depression-Resolving Decoction): Bai Shao (Radix Paeoniae Alba) 2 liang, Chai Hu (Radix Bupleuri) 1 qian, Gan Cao (Radix Glycyrrhizae) 1 qian, Bai Jie Zi (Semen Sinapis Albae) 3 qian, Bai Zhu (Rhizoma Atractylodis Macrocephalae) 5 qian, Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis) 5 qian, Chen Pi (Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae) 2 qian, Fu Ling (Sclerotium Poriae Cocos) 5 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. After one dose, voice returns; after two doses, spirit calms; after three doses, stagnant qi is completely resolved. The brilliance of this formula lies in the large dosage of Bai Shao (2 liang), which directly enters the Liver Meridian to replenish its deficient qi, naturally generating blood and extinguishing fire. Furthermore, Bai Zhu and Dang Gui strengthen the Spleen and Stomach to generate blood, Chai Hu resolves depression, Gan Cao harmonizes the Middle Jiao, and Bai Jie Zi eliminates phlegm obstructing the diaphragm. Another brilliance is the generous use of Fu Ling, which directs stagnant qi and phlegm-saliva into the Bladder, where they dissipate invisibly. If someone suffers from unresolved stagnant qi, appearing withered and emaciated with yellowish complexion, urgently treating them with my formula would prevent unpredictable complications.
The True Lord of Lei Gong said: Dian Disease (Epilepsy/Mental Disorder) often arises from deficiency-cold of the Spleen and Stomach. When the Spleen and Stomach are deficient and cold, ingested food and drink fail to transform into essence and instead transform into phlegm. This phlegm condenses in the chest and diaphragm, failing to resolve, flows into the Heart, and generates Dian Syndrome. If one merely treats the phlegm without tonifying Qi, death will inevitably occur rapidly. The prescription used is Qu Dian Tang (Phlegm-Expelling and Dian-Curing Decoction): Ren Shen (Radix Ginseng) 5 qian, Bai Zhu 1 liang, Rou Gui (Cortex Cinnamomi) 1 qian, Gan Jiang (Rhizoma Zingiberis Recensis) 1 qian, Bai Jie Zi 5 qian, Gan Cao 5 fen, Chang Pu (Rhizoma Acori Tatarinowii) 5 fen, Ban Xia (Rhizoma Pinelliae Ternatae) 3 qian, Chen Pi 1 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. This formula uses Ren Shen and Bai Zhu to specifically tonify the Spleen and Stomach, Rou Gui and Gan Jiang to dispel cold pathogens, Bai Jie Zi and Ban Xia to eliminate stubborn phlegm, and Gan Cao and Chang Pu to guide the medicinal power into the Heart to open orifices. Naturally, righteous Qi returns and pathogenic phlegm disperses. After one dose, spirit stabilizes; after two doses, spirit prospers. How could Dian Disease not be cured? However, Hua Dian (Flower Dian) syndrome occurs when a woman obsessively thinks of a person, causing heart deviation, but it also involves pathogen invasion due to Spleen-Stomach cold. Adding Bai Shao 1 liang, Chai Hu 2 qian, and Chao Zhi Zi (Fried Fructus Gardeniae) 3 qian to this formula, while removing Rou Gui, yields miraculous results. After one dose, the Dian symptoms cease. This is because Chai Hu, Bai Shao, and Chao Zhi Zi all enter the Liver to pacify Wood, dispel fire, and scatter depression, thereby achieving this remarkable efficacy.
