【进食散】
青皮、陈皮(均去除瓤,各取一分)、草豆蔻(三个)、甘草(一分,经蜜炙处理)、诃子(去除果核,煨制,五个)、高良姜(薄片)。
以上药材,每次服用一钱,加水一中盏,生姜两片,煎煮至剩余七分药液,在空腹时服用。此方出自《卢州李潜方》。主治脾胃虚寒,食欲不振。以及久病导致脾气虚弱,完全无法进食的情况,只需服用一到两次,便能立刻恢复食欲。李潜是名医,我亲眼见到他在真州行医。他曾治疗贾使君的女儿,患病五十多天,脾病严重且频繁呕吐,完全不进食,其他医生治疗毫无效果。李潜投以此药,仅服一次,患者便吃了半个蒸饼;第二天,对各类食物都产生了食欲。李潜说此药促进进食的效果极其神速。我曾怀疑此药过于温热,李潜说并非如此。他使用此方三十年,无不奏效。

木香、人参、白茯苓、藿香、枳壳、陈橘皮、甘草(蜜炙,以上各等分)、附子(炮制,半枚)。
以上药材,每次服用一大钱,用紫苏、木瓜、生姜煎汤,再倒入银盏中,隔水加热煮沸五到七次,一次性温服。

以上药材,用酒煮制成面糊状,作为丸剂,大小如梧桐子。每次服用十五丸至二十丸。如果有气疾发作,或因饮食过多导致心下痞满闷痛,可将药丸烂嚼,用茶或酒送服。陆子履学士担任蔡州平兴县知县时,正值石普被贬南迁,陆子履为他办理行装非常勤勉,石普对他极为感激。不久石普被召回朝廷,路过平兴县拜访陆子履。叙说南行时的恩惠,说其他物品不足以报答,特将此药方传授给他,就是本方。石普说自己吃得极多,常因此导致烦闷成疾,服用此药随即痊愈。我向陆子履求得此方,家中常备制作。对于食饱胀满及气膨胸膈的症状,只需服用一次,感觉如同人手按下般轻松,疗效极佳。
[Jinshi San (Appetite-Stimulating Powder)]
Qingpi (Green Tangerine Peel), Chenpi (Aged Tangerine Peel) (both with the pith removed, 1 fen each), Caodoukou (Cardamom Seed), Gao Liangjiang (Galangal Rhizome) (thin slices).
Cao Dou Kou (3 seeds), Gancao (Licorice Root) (1 fen, honey-fried), Hezi (Chebula Fruit) (5 seeds, pitted and roasted).
For administration: Take 1 qian of the above herbs, add 1 zhong zhan of water and 2 slices of fresh ginger. Decoct until approximately 70% of the liquid remains. Administer on an empty stomach. This formula originates from "Lu Zhou Li Qian Fang". It treats deficiency-cold of the Spleen and Stomach leading to poor appetite. It is also indicated for cases where prolonged illness has led to Spleen Qi deficiency, resulting in a complete inability to eat; one or two doses are sufficient to rapidly restore appetite. Li Qian was a renowned physician, whom I witnessed practicing in Zhenzhou. He treated the daughter of Official Jia, who had been ill for over fifty days, suffering from severe Spleen disease with frequent vomiting and total anorexia. Other physicians' treatments were ineffective. Upon administering this single dose by Li Qian, the patient consumed half a steamed cake; by the next day, she desired various foods. Li Qian stated that this medicine stimulates appetite with extreme speed. I suspected the formula was too heating, but Li Qian disagreed, noting he had used it for thirty years without failure.
[Yaqi San (Qi-Suppressing Powder)]
Indications: Stops counterflow and calms wheezing; treats conditions following excessive purging/drainage where Qi deficiency causes rebellious Qi rushing upward to the chest and diaphragm.
Muxiang (Costus Root), Renshen (Ginseng Root), Baifuling (Poria), Huoxiang (Patchouli Herb), Zhike (Bitter Orange Fruit), Chenjupi (Aged Tangerine Peel), Gancao (Licorice Root) (honey-fried, all equal parts), Fuzi (Prepared Aconite Root) (processed, half a piece).
For administration: Take 1 da qian of the powder. Decoct with Zisu (Perilla Leaf), Mugua (Chaenomeles Fruit), and Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger). Transfer to a silver cup and heat via double-boiling method for five to seven boils. Consume orally in one go.
[Hezi Wan (Chebula Pill)]
Indications: Promotes digestion and resolves Qi stagnation.
Hezipi (Chebula Pericarp) (2 liang, washed and processed), Muxiang (Costus Root), Baidoukou (White Cardamom Seed), Binglang (Areca Seed), Gui (Cinnamon Twig), Renshen (Ginseng Root), Jiangjiang (Dried Ginger), Fuling (Poria) (all 2 liang each), Qianniuzi (Pharbitis Seed).
For administration: Decoct in wine, mix with wheat flour paste to form pills the size of Sophora seeds. Each dose consists of 15 to 20 pills. If Qi disorders flare up or if excessive eating leads to epigastric fullness and oppression, chew the pill thoroughly and swallow with tea or wine. When Lu Zilü, Academician and Magistrate of Pingxing County in Caizhou, was attending to Shi Pu during his demotion southward, Lu was extremely diligent. Shi Pu felt deeply grateful. Shortly after, Shi Pu was recalled to court and visited Lu at Pingxing. To repay Lu's kindness during the southern journey, Shi Pu transmitted this formula, stating that he often suffered from distension and oppression due to excessive eating, which resolved immediately upon taking this medicine. I obtained this formula from Lu Zilü and keep it prepared at home. For symptoms of postprandial fullness and Qi distension in the chest and diaphragm, a single dose provides relief as if pressed down by a hand, proving highly effective.
