又一个方子,凡是煮这种药汁解毒时,不可热饮,各种毒素遇热会更严重,宜使药汁微凉,这样更好。
席辩刺史说,岭南俚人(少数民族)的毒药大多是通过食物摄入的。往往不会立即察觉,逐渐出现食欲不振,或者心中逐渐胀满,背部僵硬烦闷,先感到寒冷类似瘴气。
稍微感觉不适,就急忙取一片白银含在口中,过一夜白银变色,这就是毒药。白银变青是蓝药(含砷化合物),白银变黄赤是KT药(可能指另一种含砷或重金属混合物)。时间久了,进入眼睛,眼睛或变青,或变黄赤,变青是蓝药,变黄赤是KT药。俚人有解毒疗法的人,害怕别人知道,在外面预言说是“三百牛药”或“三百两银药”。我长期任职,因为与首领亲近,知道他们常用的药,俚人不识本草,于是妄言这些名字,他们的方子如下:
初得俚人毒药,且先定方。
生姜四两,甘草三两(炙),切碎,用水六升,煎煮至二升。早晨分三次服用,服完后,然后再寻找药物进行解毒治疗。
解毒方。
常山四两,切碎,白盐四钱,用水一斗,浸泡一夜,选择在月末那天浸泡。初一的五更天,用土釜煮,不要让奴婢、鸡、狗看见,煎煮至二升。早晨分两次服用,服完后,过了一会儿就会呕吐,用铜器盛接。如果吐出的东西呈青色,用棍棒举起五尺不断裂,说明药力未尽,两天后再服一剂。席辩曾饮酒时误中此药,一个多月后才发觉,首领梁坟,用土产常山给他服用,称之为“一百头牛药”,服用后病愈。病愈后二十天内,严禁食用有毒食物,只能吃煮熟的米饭,前后治愈共九人。
又一个方子,黄藤十两,岭南各地都有,切碎,用水一斗,煎煮至二升,分三次服用,服完后,毒药在内消散。如果是防己类的俚人药,经常服用这种藤,即使中了自然界的毒也不会发作。席云说,经常服用,能利小便,也治愈了几个人。
又一个方子,都淋藤十两,岭南各地都有,当地人全都知道,俚人称之为“三百两银”。它的叶子细长,有三尺长的微藤,新鲜切碎,用水一斗,加酒二升,煎煮至三升,分三次服用,服完后,毒药随小便排出,十天禁食有毒食物,如果未愈,再服用,即可痊愈。
又一个方子,干蓝实四两,白花藤四两,出产于某州的质量最好,不能取与野葛同生的。切碎,用水七升,酒一升,煎煮至半升,空腹一次性服用。如果感到轻微烦闷不要奇怪,单用干蓝草,研成粉末,一次性服用,也能痊愈。
又治疗腹内各种毒素。
都淋藤二两,长三寸,全部细细切碎,放入三升酒中,一起装在瓦罐里,密封。用糠火在四周烘烤,烤至三沸,待冷却后取出,温服。常保持有酒色,也没有禁忌,效果显著。
如果不幸吃了俚人的食物。
先取一寸甘草,炙熟,然后细嚼吞下。如果吃了毒药就会呕吐,那就是中了毒。根据前面的方法治疗,席辩说,经常用袋子装十片甘草随身携带以防身。
附方
《胜金方》,治疗一切毒。
取胆矾,研成粉末。用糯米糊,做成如鸡头实大小的丸药,外面裹上朱砂。常用朱砂养护,冷水化开一丸服用,立刻痊愈。
《经验方》,解药毒上攻如圣散。
露蜂房、甘草等分,用麦麸炒至黄色,去掉麦麸研成粉末,用水两碗,煎至八分一碗,令其温热。临睡前一次性服用,第二天排出恶物。
《外台秘要》,治疗各种药石之后,或者发热牙关紧闭喜欢向冷地躺卧,又不能进食各种热面、酒等的方子。
五加皮二两,用水四升,煎煮至二升半,等到石发(矿物药毒性发作)的时候,就服用。如果未稳定,再服用。
孙思邈论述说,有人中了乌头、巴豆毒。
甘草入腹即能定方的说法,号称大豆能解百药毒。尝试过,没有效果,于是加入甘草制成甘豆汤,效果更快。
《梅师方》,蜀椒闭口者有毒,误食之。便气欲绝,或下白沫,身体冷。急煎桂汁服用,多饮冷水一二升。忽然饮食吐浆,煎浓豆豉汁服用。
《圣惠方》,治疗硫黄,忽然发作气闷,用羊血服用一合,有效。
又一个方子,治疗射罔在诸肉中有毒,及漏脯毒。
用贝子末,用水调半钱,服用有效,或者食面毒,也同样使用。

Dynasty: Eastern Jin
Chapter: Chapter 67: Formulas for Treating Sudden Irritability Due to Overdose of Medication / Chapter 68: Formulas for Rescuing and Resolving Poisoning by Various Drugs
Category: Formulas
[English Translation]
**Formulas for Treating Sudden Irritability Due to Overdose of Medication and Severe Poisoning with a Desire to Die**
Scrape a small amount of soil from the base of the east wall, mix it with one or two sheng (approx. 200-400 ml) of water, and drink it; this is effective.
Another formula: Dig a pit under the eaves, two chi (approx. 60 cm) square and three chi deep. Pour seven sheng of water into the pit. Agitate the water with an object until foam appears, take one sheng of this foamy water, and drink it. If symptoms do not resolve, prepare another batch.
Yet another formula: Crush Indigofera tinctoria (Lancao, 蓝草/蓼蓝) and drink several sheng of its juice. If Indigofera is unavailable, wash green silk fabric and drink the washing liquid; this is also acceptable.
**Formula for Extreme Irritability Due to Improper Dosage of Medication**
Drink fresh Puerariae Radix (Sheng Gegen, 生葛根) juice; this is highly effective. If fresh root is unavailable, grind dried Puerariae Radix (Gegen, 葛根) into powder, administer with five he (approx. 100 ml) of water, or boil and drink it.
Another formula: Swallow several chicken egg yolks; recovery will follow. If there is no improvement, repeat the administration.
**For Overdose of Mineral Drugs (Shiyao, 石药)**
Crack white duck feces into powder, mix with water, and administer; the patient will recover.
Another formula: Rhizoma et Radix Rhei (Dahuang, 大黄) 3 liang, Natrii Sulfas (Mangxiao, 芒硝) 2 liang, and Juice of Rehmanniae Radix Recens (Sheng Dihuang Zhi, 生地黄汁) 5 sheng. Boil until 3 sheng remain, divide into three doses. Once bowel movement occurs, the patient recovers.
**For Incessant Vomiting After Sudden Medication Intake**
Drink one sheng of newly drawn cold water; vomiting will cease.
**For Diarrhea Caused by Crotonis Fructus (Badou, 巴豆) in Medication**
Powder dried Zingiberis Rhizoma (Ganjiang, 干姜) and Coptidis Rhizoma (Huanglian, 黄连). Administer one fangcun bi (approx. 2-3 grams) per dose; the patient recovers.
Another formula: Boil soybean juice (Douzhi, 豆汁) to one sheng and drink it; the patient recovers.
**Supplementary Formula**
From *Waitai Miyao* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold for Emergencies): Treats overdose of medication and severe poisoning with irritability and a desire to die.
Burn rhinoceros horn, powder it, and administer one fangcun bi with water.
**Formula for Death Caused by Eating Gelsemii Radix (Yege, 野葛/Gelsemium elegans)**
Use an object to pry open the mouth, take three chicken eggs, mix them, and swallow. Within moments, the poison will be vomited out.
Another formula: Drink one sheng of warm pig lard (Zhuzhi, 猪脂).
Another formula: Catch a live duck, sever its head at the mouth, and drip the blood into the victim's mouth. Swallowing the blood restores life. If the mouth cannot be opened, take a large bamboo tube with nodes removed. Insert one end into the victim's armpit and pour water into the other end. Change the water frequently. Within moments, the mouth will open, allowing medication to be administered. If treating multiple victims, insert tubes into both armpits and the umbilicus; this is very effective.
Another formula: Drink large amounts of Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao, 甘草) juice; this is excellent.
**Yao’s Formula for Poisoning by Various Toxins and Death from Yege**
Mix fresh human urine with human feces, squeeze out one sheng of juice, and administer in one dose. Life returns immediately upon entering the stomach; this juice resolves all toxins better than any other.
**For Death from Zhentu Poisoning (Ibis Poison)**
Take Sanleng (Fen Shuang, 粉霜/Arsenic Trioxide) 3 ge, mix with 3 sheng of water, and drink. If the jaw is clenched, force it open with a bamboo tube and灌 (irrigate/pour) the medicine in.
**For Poisoning by She Wang (She Du, 射罔/Aconite-type Poison)**
Indigo juice, soybeans, pig blood, and dog blood can all detoxify this.
**For Poisoning by Langdu (Wolf Poison)**
Detoxify with Indigo juice.
**For Poisoning by Wild Wolf Kui (Malva-type Poison)**
Detoxify with Malvae Radix juice.
**For Poisoning by Lichuan (Veratrum)**
Realgar (Xionghuang, 雄黄) and scallion juice can both detoxify this.
**For Poisoning by Zhizhu (Rhododendron/Mountain Azalea)**
Detoxify with Gardenia juice.
**For Poisoning by Badou (Croton Seed)**
Coptis, bean leaf juice, and soybean juice can all detoxify this.
**For Poisoning by Xionghuang (Realgar)**
Detoxify with Stephaniae Tetrandrae Radix (Fangji, 防己) juice.
**For Poisoning by Shujiao (Sichuan Pepper) and Wugong (Centipede)**
Both poisons can be resolved by mulberry juice or boiled mulberry root juice.
**For Poisoning with Mingfan (Alum)**
Detoxify with soybean juice.
**For Poisoning with Yuanhua (Genkwa Flos)**
Periplocae Radix (Fangfeng, 防风), Licorice (Gancao, 甘草), and Cinnamon Twig (Guizhi, 桂) can all detoxify this.
**For Poisoning by Banxia (Pinellia Tuber)**
Fresh Ginger Juice (Shengjiang Zhi, 生姜汁) and dried ginger (Ganjiang, 干姜) can both detoxify this.
**For Poisoning by Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root) and Chutou (Aconite)**
Soybean juice and Polygalae Radix (Yuanzhi, 远志) juice can both detoxify this.
**For Poisoning by Xingren (Apricot Seed)**
Detoxify with Indigo seed juice.
**For Death from Eating Gold Foil**
Take half a sheng of chicken manure, leach with water to obtain one sheng of liquid, and drink. Take three times a day.
Another formula: Swallow two liang of Mercury (Shuiyin, 水银); it will wrap around the gold and expel it. One liang is sufficient for smaller amounts.
Yao states: Take one liang per dose, administered three times. Support the patient in a sitting position while administering; life returns once it enters the stomach.
Another formula: Duck blood and chicken eggs can also detoxify this.
**A Single Formula to Resolve Multiple Toxins**
Take Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao, 甘草), cut into pieces, and boil strongly. Drink plenty of the juice and consume plenty of onion mucus; this is beneficial.
Another formula: Boil soybeans until boiling vigorously, and drink plenty of the juice. If soybeans are unavailable, fermented soybeans (Chidou, 豆豉) are also good.
Another formula: Indigo plant (Lanqing, 蓝青) and Indigo seeds (Lanzi, 蓝子) can generally resolve various toxins; keep them in reserve regularly.
Another formula: Boil Shepherd's Purse (Jicai, 荠菜) until thick, and drink one to two sheng. This is a secret formula. If suddenly unable to boil it, chew it raw or make it into powder and take it. Among all antidotes, this herb is effective for all drug poisonings.
Another formula: When boiling this herbal juice for detoxification, do not drink it hot, as heat exacerbates most toxins. It is best to let it cool slightly before drinking.
Governor Xi Bian stated that the Li people in Lingnan acquire their poisons through food. Symptoms are not immediately apparent but gradually lead to loss of appetite, abdominal distension, back stiffness and irritability, and chills resembling malaria.
If slight discomfort is felt, urgently hold a piece of silver in the mouth. Overnight, if the silver changes color, it indicates poison. Silver turning blue/green indicates "Blue Medicine" (likely arsenic compounds); yellow/red indicates "KT Medicine." If prolonged, the eyes may turn blue/green or yellow/red. The Li people who possess antidotes hide their knowledge, claiming they have "Three Hundred Ox Medicine" or "Three Hundred Taels of Silver Medicine." Having served long-term and being close to tribal leaders, I know these are common drugs misidentified by the Li people who lack knowledge of Materia Medica. Their formulas are as follows:
**Initial Treatment for Li People's Poison**
First, stabilize the condition.
Fresh Ginger (Shengjiang, 生姜) 4 liang, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao, 甘草) 3 liang (roasted), cut into pieces. Boil in six sheng of water until two sheng remain. Take in three doses in the morning. Afterward, seek specific antidotal treatment.
**Antidotal Formulas**
**Formula 1:**
Polygoni Cuspidati Rhizoma et Radix (Changshan, 常山) 4 liang (cut), White Salt (Baigan, 白盐) 4 qian. Soak in one dou (approx. 10 liters) of water overnight, specifically on the last day of the lunar month. On the first day of the new moon, at the fifth watch (3-5 AM), boil in an earthen pot. Do not allow servants, chickens, or dogs to see this process. Boil until two sheng remain. Divide into two morning doses. Shortly after ingestion, the patient will vomit; collect the vomitus in a copper vessel. If the vomitus is blue-green and does not break when lifted five chi with a stick, the poison is not fully expelled; administer another dose after two days. Governor Xi Bian contracted this poison after drinking wine and realized it over a month later. Tribal Leader Liang Fen treated him with local Changshan, calling it "One Hundred Ox Medicine." He recovered. For twenty days post-recovery, strictly avoid toxic foods and eat only cooked rice. Nine people were cured in total using this method.
**Formula 2:**
Yellow Vine (Huangteng, 黄藤) 10 liang, available throughout Lingnan. Cut into pieces, boil in one dou of water until two sheng remain. Divide into three doses. After ingestion, internal poison dissipates. If exposed to Fangji-type Li poison, regular consumption of this vine prevents natural poisoning from manifesting. Xi Yun states that regular use promotes urination and has cured several people.
**Formula 3:**
Dulin Vine (Dulin Teng, 都淋藤) 10 liang, available throughout Lingnan, known to locals, called "Three Hundred Taels of Silver" by the Li. Leaves are slender; vines are about three chi long. Use fresh, cut vines. Boil in one dou of water with two sheng of wine until three sheng remain. Divide into three doses. After ingestion, poison is excreted via urine. Avoid toxic foods for ten days. If not cured, repeat the dose for recovery.
**Formula 4:**
Dried Indigo Fruit (Gan Lan Shi, 干蓝实) 4 liang, White Flower Vine (Baihua Teng, 白花藤) 4 liang (best sourced from [Specific] Prefecture; avoid those growing with Yege). Cut into pieces. Boil in seven sheng of water and one sheng of wine until half a sheng remains. Take on an empty stomach in one dose. Mild irritability is normal. Alternatively, powder single dried Indigo and take in one dose; this also cures.
**Treatment for Internal Abdominal Toxins**
Dulin Vine (Dulin Teng, 都淋藤) 2 liang, cut into three-cun pieces and finely chopped. Place in three sheng of wine in a clay jar, seal tightly. Roast around the jar with chaff fire until three boils occur. Cool, remove, and take warm. Maintain a wine-colored appearance; no dietary restrictions apply. Highly effective.
**If Accidentally Consuming Li Food**
First, take one cun of roasted Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao, 甘草), chew thoroughly, and swallow. If poison was ingested, vomiting will occur, confirming poisoning. Treat according to previous methods. Governor Xi Bian advises carrying ten slices of Gancao in a pouch for prevention.
**Supplementary Formulas**
**From *Shengjin Fang* (Golden Victory Formula):** Treats all toxins.
Powder Alum (Danzi Fan, 胆子矾). Make pills the size of a chestnut using glutinous rice paste, coat with Cinnabar (Zhusha, 朱砂). Keep nourished with Cinnabar. Dissolve one pill in cold water and take; immediate cure.
**From *Jingyan Fang* (Experience Formula):** *Rusheng San* (Like-Saint Powder) for resolving upward-rising drug toxicity.
Honeycomb of Vespa (Lufengfang, 露蜂房) and Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao, 甘草) in equal parts. Stir-fry with bran until yellow, remove bran, and powder. Decoct in two bowls of water until reduced to 0.8 bowl. Take warm just before bed. Evil matter will be discharged the next day.
**From *Waitai Miyao*:** Treats conditions after mineral drug intake, such as fever with trismus, preference for lying on cold ground, and inability to eat hot noodles or alcohol.
Acanthopanacis Cortex (Wujia Pi, 五加皮) 2 liang. Boil in four sheng of water until 2.5 sheng remain. Take when mineral toxicity flares. Repeat if unstable.
**Sun Simiao’s Commentary:** Regarding poisoning by Aconite and Croton.
