不伤，手到便可奏功。方用护子汤∶
人参（一钱） 茯苓（三钱） 白术（二钱） 柴胡（五分） 桂枝（二分） 水煎服。
一剂惊定，不必再剂。亦何方法之神乎？盖小儿初伤风寒，必先从太阳而入。
今用桂枝、柴胡两解其太阳、少阳之邪，则邪不敢遁入于阳明。况有人参以固其脾
胃之气，则邪尤不敢入于中宫。加入白术以利腰脐，茯苓以通膀胱，则邪从外入者
即散。即无外邪，而柴胡以舒肝气，桂枝以暖脾胃之土，正有利益，又何损哉？无
如世不知此等治法，妄捏惊风名色，轻施发散、镇坠之味，以至杀儿无算，医工不
悟，而病家未知，皆委于天数，而不责其误，谁知万鬼啼号于夜台哉。吾愿世人尽
消灭惊风二字名目，庶几小儿之福乎。
此症亦可用救婴丹∶
人参（一钱） 茯苓（三钱） 柴胡（三分） 白芍（二钱） 神曲（五分） 砂仁（一粒） 炮姜（三分）
水煎服。
妇人新产之后，忽然手足牵搐，口眼 斜，头摇项强，甚则角弓反张，人以为
产后惊风，谁知是亡血过多而成痉乎。产后旧血已亏，新血未长，血舍空虚风尤易
入。原不必户外之贼风也，即一举一动，风自内生。觉两腋之间阴寒逼人，一不慎
而风入之矣。然风因虚而入，补虚而风即能出也。第补虚之法，血亡不能速生，而
气怯则宜急补，补气则血尤易生，血生而风不能存。故血舍驱风，尚非正治，矧纯
用镇惊之药耶。方用救产止痉汤∶
人参（五钱） 当归（一两） 川芎（三钱） 荆芥炒黑（一钱） 水煎服。一剂病轻，二剂
又轻，三剂全愈。
此方即佛手散之变，大补其气血之虚，加之人参则气更旺矣，气旺而邪不敢敌。
况有荆芥引血归经之药，血既归经，而邪何能独留？况荆芥原能祛邪，而不损正气，
故可两用之，以出奇耳。倘不补气血，惟事祛风，则血舍更空，风将直入，是立杀
其妇矣，可不慎哉。
此症用活母丹亦神效。
当归 人参（各一两） 川芎（五钱） 柴胡（三分） 肉桂（一钱） 水煎服，即愈。
人有一时手足牵掣，口眼歪张，人以为中风之症也，谁知是痉病之骤发乎。夫
中风病，身必颠覆，口必吐痰。痉病状如中风，而身必不颠覆，口中、喉内必无痰
涎之出入与水鸡声也。盖中风无风，风从内起；痉病则风从外入，风自成威，不必
借重内痰之助，所以但有牵KT 歪张之风象，绝无汹涌秘塞之痰声也。若风自内起者，
火动生风，痰以助之也。故中风无外邪，痉病无内邪也。无外邪者不可治风，无内
邪者不可不治风耳。然而单治外而不治内，则外风虽去，内风必生，是以祛风必须
补正也。方用补中益气汤∶
人参（一钱） 白术（三钱） 黄 （三钱） 当归（三钱） 柴胡（三钱） 升麻（四分） 陈皮（一钱）
甘草（一钱）
水煎服。一剂而牵掣定，再剂而歪张止，三剂不再发。
夫补中益气汤补气之药，非祛风之剂，乃用之以治痉 之风，反易奏功者何故
乎？盖气虚则风易入也，补其气则正旺，足以祛邪。方中用柴胡原能祛邪也，少用
之于补药之中，则能提气以卫正；多用之于补药之中，则能益气以祛邪。故用至三
钱，而风难再留矣，何必更借重他药散风之多事哉。世人但知参、归、 、术之
多用以补正，绝不知柴胡多用于参、归、 、术之中尤易祛邪，余所以持表而出之
也。
此症用九宫汤亦神效。
人参（一两） 巴戟天 葳蕤（各五钱） 半夏 乌药 秦艽（各一钱） 陈皮 附子 天麻（各五分）
水煎服。
不会造成伤害，手到病除即可见效。方用护子汤：人参（一钱）、茯苓（三钱）、白术（二钱）、柴胡（五分）、桂枝（二分），水煎服。服用一剂后惊厥停止，不必再服。这方法为何如此神奇？因为小儿初受风寒侵袭，邪气必定先从太阳经（足太阳膀胱经）而入。现在使用桂枝、柴胡两解太阳、少阳（足少阳胆经）之邪，那么邪气就不敢遁入阳明经（足阳明胃经）。况且有人参来巩固脾胃之气，那么邪气更不敢侵入中焦脾胃。加入白术以疏通腰脐部位的气机，茯苓以通利膀胱，那么从外侵入的邪气就会消散。即使没有外邪，柴胡也能疏肝理气，桂枝能温暖脾胃之土，确实有益处，又有什么损害呢？无奈世人不知道这种治法，胡乱捏造“惊风”的名目，轻易使用发散和镇坠的药物，以至于杀死无数婴儿，医生不醒悟，病人家属也不明白，都归咎于天命，而不责怪医生的误治，谁知道万鬼在阴间啼哭哀号呢？我希望世人彻底消灭“惊风”这个名目，这样或许对小儿是一种福气。
此症也可以使用救婴丹：人参（一钱）、茯苓（三钱）、柴胡（三分）、白芍（二钱）、神曲（五分）、砂仁（一粒）、炮姜（三分），水煎服。
妇女刚生产之后，忽然出现手足抽搐牵引，口眼歪斜，头摇项强，甚至角弓反张（身体向后弯曲如弓状），人们以为是产后惊风，谁知这是因失血过多而形成的痉病（以项背强直、四肢抽搐、甚至角弓反张为主要表现的病证）呢。产后旧血已亏，新血未生，血舍空虚，风邪更容易侵入。原本不一定需要户外的贼风，就是举手投足之间，风也可自内生。感觉两腋之间阴寒逼人，一旦不慎，风邪就侵入了。然而风因虚而入，补益虚损则风邪自然能排出。只是补虚的方法，血亡失不能迅速再生，而气怯弱则应当急补，补气则血更容易生成，血生则风邪无法存留。所以在血舍驱赶风邪，尚且不是正治之法，何况纯用镇惊的药物呢。方用救产止痉汤：人参（五钱）、当归（一两）、川芎（三钱）、荆芥炒黑（一钱），水煎服。服用一剂病情减轻，两剂更轻，三剂痊愈。
此方即是佛手散（由当归、川芎组成，具有活血祛瘀功效的方剂）的变方，大补气血之虚，加入人参则气更旺盛，气旺则邪气不敢抵挡。况且有荆芥作为引血归经的药物，血既归经，邪气怎么能单独留存？况且荆芥本来就能祛除邪气，且不损伤正气，所以可以两用，以出奇制胜。如果不补气血，只从事祛风，那么血舍更加空虚，风邪将直接侵入，这是立即杀死产妇啊，能不谨慎吗？
此症使用活母丹也极为神效。当归、人参（各一两）、川芎（五钱）、柴胡（三分）、肉桂（一钱），水煎服，即愈。
人有一时手足抽搐牵引，口眼歪斜张开，人们以为是中风病（脑血管意外等引起的以猝然昏倒、不省人事、伴发口噤不开、半身不遂、肢体麻木为主症的疾病），谁知是痉病的突然发作呢。夫中风病，身体必然倾倒颠覆，口中必然吐痰。痉病的症状像中风，但身体必然不倾倒，口中、喉内必然没有痰涎出入和水鸡声（类似青蛙叫的声音，指喉间痰鸣音）。大概中风无外风，风从内起；痉病则是风从外入，风自成威势，不必借助内痰的帮助，所以只有牵掣歪张的风象，绝无汹涌秘塞的痰声。如果是风自内起，那是火动生风，痰来助势。所以中风无外邪，痉病无内邪。无外邪者不可单纯治风，无内邪者不可不治风。然而单治外而不治内，则外风虽去，内风必生，所以祛风必须补益正气。方用补中益气汤（具有补中益气、升阳举陷功效的方剂）：人参（一钱）、白术（三钱）、黄芪（三钱）、当归（三钱）、柴胡（三钱）、升麻（四分）、陈皮（一钱）、甘草（一钱），水煎服。服用一剂牵掣停止，再剂歪斜停止，三剂不再复发。
夫补中益气汤是补气的药物，并非祛风的剂型，用它来治疗痉病之风，反而容易见效，这是什么缘故呢？大概气虚则风易侵入，补其气则正气旺盛，足以祛除邪气。方中使用柴胡本来就能祛邪，少量用于补药之中，则能提气以护卫正气；大量用于补药之中，则能益气以祛除邪气。所以用到三钱，风邪就难以再留存了，何必更借重其他药物散风的多此一举呢？世人只知道人参、当归、黄芪、白术多用来补益正气，绝不知道柴胡多用于人参、当归、黄芪、白术之中更容易祛邪，我所以特意提出出来阐明。
此症使用九宫汤也极为神效。人参（一两）、巴戟天、葳蕤（各五钱）、半夏、乌药、秦艽（各一钱）、陈皮、附子、天麻（各五分），水煎服。
It causes no harm, and the effect can be achieved promptly. The formula used is *Huzi Tang* (Child-Protecting Decoction): *Renshen* (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, 1 qian), *Fuling* (Poria, 3 qian), *Baizhu* (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, 2 qian), *Chaihu* (Bupleuri Radix, 5 fen), *Guizhi* (Cinnamomi Ramulus, 2 fen). Decoct in water and take orally. After one dose, the convulsions subside; a second dose is unnecessary. Why is this method so miraculous? Because when infants are initially injured by wind-cold, the pathogenic factor must enter via the Taiyang channel (Taiyang meridian syndrome) first. Now, using *Guizhi* and *Chaihu* to resolve simultaneously the pathogens of the Taiyang and Shaoyang (Shaoyang meridian syndrome) channels, the pathogen will not dare to retreat into the Yangming channel (Yangming meridian syndrome). Moreover, with *Renshen* to consolidate the Qi of the Spleen and Stomach, the pathogen is even less likely to invade the Middle Jiao (Middle Burner). Adding *Baizhu* to benefit the waist and umbilical region, and *Fuling* to unblock the Bladder, allows the pathogen entering from outside to dissipate. Even without external pathogens, *Chaihu* soothes Liver Qi, and *Guizhi* warms the Earth of the Spleen and Stomach, which is indeed beneficial, what harm could there be? Alas, people in the world do not know such treatment methods; they recklessly fabricate the label of "Convulsive Disease" (Jingfeng, often referring to infantile convulsions/seizures), and lightly administer dispersing and sedative/heavy substances, thereby killing countless infants. Physicians do not realize their error, nor do the patients' families understand; they all attribute it to destiny and do not blame the mistake. Who knows that ten thousand ghosts cry out in the underworld? I wish everyone would completely eliminate the term "Convulsive Disease," so that children might find some blessing.
This condition can also be treated with *Jiuying Dan*: *Renshen* (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, 1 qian), *Fuling* (Poria, 3 qian), *Chaihu* (Bupleuri Radix, 3 fen), *Baishao* (Paeoniae Radix Alba, 2 qian), *Shenqu* (Massa Medicata Fermentata, 5 fen), *Sharen* (Amomi Fructus, 1 grain), *Paojiang* (Prepared Zingiberis Rhizoma, 3 fen). Decoct in water and take orally.
After a woman has just given birth, if she suddenly experiences twitching and pulling of the hands and feet, deviation of the mouth and eyes, head shaking, neck stiffness, and even opisthotonos (body bent backward like a bow), people think it is postpartum convulsive disease. Who knows that it is actually Spasm (Jingbing, characterized by neck stiffness, limb spasms, and opisthotonos) caused by excessive blood loss? Postpartum, old blood is depleted, and new blood has not yet grown; the Blood residence is empty, making it easy for Wind to enter. It does not necessarily require external thieving Wind; even with every movement, Wind can arise internally. One feels chilling cold between the armpits; if not careful, Wind enters. However, since Wind enters due to deficiency, tonifying deficiency allows Wind to exit. The method of tonifying deficiency is that lost blood cannot be generated quickly, but deficient Qi should be urgently supplemented. Supplementing Qi makes Blood generation easier; once Blood is generated, Wind cannot remain. Therefore, driving out Wind from the Blood residence is not the principal treatment, let alone purely using drugs to calm convulsions. The formula used is *Jiuchan Zhijing Tang* (Postpartum Rescue and Spasm-Stopping Decoction): *Renshen* (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, 5 qian), *Danggui* (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, 1 liang), *Chuanxiong* (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma, 3 qian), *Jingjie* (Schizonepetae Herba, stir-fried until black, 1 qian). Decoct in water and take orally. After one dose, the illness lightens; after two doses, it lightens further; after three doses, complete recovery occurs.
This formula is a variation of *Foshou San* (Buddha's Hand Powder), greatly tonifying the deficiency of Qi and Blood. Adding *Renshen* makes Qi even more vigorous; when Qi is vigorous, pathogens cannot resist. Moreover, *Jingjie* is a drug that guides Blood back to its vessels; once Blood returns to its vessels, how can pathogens remain alone? Furthermore, *Jingjie* itself can dispel pathogens without damaging healthy Qi, so it can be used doubly to achieve unexpected results. If one does not tonify Qi and Blood but only engages in dispelling Wind, the Blood residence becomes emptier, and Wind will enter directly, instantly killing the woman. Can one not be cautious?
This condition is also effectively treated with *Huomu Dan*: *Danggui* (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) and *Renshen* (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) (each 1 liang), *Chuanxiong* (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma, 5 qian), *Chaihu* (Bupleuri Radix, 3 fen), *Rougui* (Cinnamomi Cortex, 1 qian). Decoct in water and take orally; recovery follows immediately.
There are cases where a person suddenly experiences twitching and pulling of the hands and feet, and deviation of the mouth and eyes. People consider it Stroke (Zhongfeng, typically referring to apoplexy or cerebrovascular accidents); who knows it is the sudden onset of Spasm (Jingbing)? In Stroke, the body inevitably collapses or tilts, and phlegm is vomited from the mouth. In Spasm, symptoms resemble Stroke, but the body does not collapse, and there is no phlegm-saliva discharge from the mouth or throat, nor the sound of a water chicken (phlegm rattle). Generally, Stroke has no external Wind; Wind arises internally. Spasm involves Wind entering from outside; Wind asserts its dominance without needing the assistance of internal phlegm. Thus, there are only signs of Wind causing twitching and deviation, but absolutely no sounds of surging, obstructed phlegm. If Wind arises internally, it is Fire stirring up Wind, assisted by Phlegm. Therefore, Stroke lacks external pathogens, while Spasm lacks internal pathogens. Those without external pathogens should not treat Wind solely; those without internal pathogens must treat Wind. However, treating only the exterior without treating the interior means that although external Wind may leave, internal Wind will arise. Hence, dispelling Wind requires tonifying Healthy Qi. The formula used is *Buzhong Yiqi Tang* (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction): *Renshen* (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, 1 qian), *Baizhu* (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, 3 qian), *Huangqi* (Astragali Radix, 3 qian), *Danggui* (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, 3 qian), *Chaihu* (Bupleuri Radix, 3 qian), *Shengma* (Cimicifugae Rhizoma, 4 fen), *Chenpi* (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, 1 qian), *Gancao* (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 1 qian). Decoct in water and take orally. After one dose, twitching stops; after another dose, deviation ceases; after three doses, it does not recur.
*Buzhong Yiqi Tang* is a Qi-tonifying formula, not a Wind-dispelling agent. Why does it work easily to treat the Wind of Spasm? Because Qi deficiency makes Wind prone to entry; tonifying Qi makes Healthy Qi vigorous, sufficient to expel pathogens. *Chaihu* in the formula can originally dispel pathogens. Used in small amounts among tonifying drugs, it lifts Qi to guard Healthy Qi; used in large amounts among tonifying drugs, it augments Qi to expel pathogens. Thus, using 3 qian makes it difficult for Wind to remain. Why bother with other drugs to disperse Wind? People only know that *Renshen*, *Danggui*, *Huangqi*, and *Baizhu* are used in large quantities to tonify Healthy Qi, and absolutely do not know that using *Chaihu* in large amounts among *Renshen*, *Danggui*, *Huangqi*, and *Baizhu* is even more effective at expelling pathogens. This is why I highlight it.
This condition is also effectively treated with *Jiugong Tang*: *Renshen* (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma, 1 liang), *Bajitian* (Morindae Officinalis Radix), *Weirui* (Polygonati Odorati Rhizoma) (each 5 qian), *Banxia* (Pinelliae Rhizoma), *Wuyao* (Linderae Fructus), *Qinjiao* (Gentianae Macrophyllae Radix) (each 1 qian), *Chenpi* (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium), *Fuzi* (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata), *Tianma* (Gastrodiae Rhizoma) (each 5 fen). Decoct in water and take orally.
