Bai San

傷寒論

When disease is in Yang, it should be resolved by sweating, but instead cold water is sprinkled on it. If it is poured on, the heat is restrained and cannot leave, and the restlessness becomes even worse; goose bumps arise on the flesh, and the patient wants to drink water but is not thirsty: administer Wen Ge San (Meretrix Powder). If there is no improvement, give Wu Ling San. For cold excess binding in the chest with no heat signs, give San Wu Xiao Bai San. (Shang Han Lun (Treatise on Cold Damage)) -- Wai Tai: Jie Geng Bai San: Treats cough with chest fullness, chills and rapid pulse, dry throat without thirst, intermittent foul turbid saliva, and after a long time vomiting pus like rice gruel; this is pulmonary abscess.

Jie Geng (Platycodon) 3 fen; Ba Dou (Croton seed) 1 fen, remove peel and heart, fry until black, grind into a paste; Bei Mu (Fritillaria) 3 fen (Shang Han Za Bing Lun (Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases))

Remove the outer skin of Ba Dou (Croton seed); after stir-frying, grind and mix in a mortar until it becomes like grease (Ba Dou Shuang, Croton frost). Then separately make the other two ingredients into a fine powder, mix them together, and take as a single dose with warm boiled water; each dose is 1 g. This is a potent drug. If diarrhea does not stop after taking it, drinking one cup of cold water will stop it immediately.
