1. Zhu Dan-xi said: For regurgitation and diaphragm obstruction, with dry stool accumulation, it is advisable to frequently swallow cow lance asiabell root, and it is best to take Four Ingredients Decoction. Human milk should not be consumed as it contains the poison of Wuwei and the fire of seven emotions.
2. Ang's note: For diaphragm obstruction and blockage, taking fragrant and drying medicines for temporary relief, breaking qi and drying blood, hastens death. It is better to take less medicine and drink cow's milk, adding leek juice or ginger juice, or aged wine is preferable. Danxi prohibits the use of fragrant and drying medicines, and what he says about tonifying blood, benefiting yin, moistening dryness, harmonizing the stomach, and regulating the middle, lacks a specific formula, which can be understood intuitively. For treating diaphragm obstruction, leek juice disperses stasis, bamboo juice and ginger juice disperse phlegm, child's urine reduces fire, human milk and cow's milk moisten dryness and tonify blood, reed rhizome juice stops vomiting, thatch root juice cools blood, sugarcane juice harmonizes the stomach, water chestnut aids digestion, and urine kills worms. Alternatively, adding burnt wine, rice vinegar, white honey, and various juices taken in one draught is also good.
