Fangfeng Tongsheng San (Saposhnikovia and Scutellaria Decoction to Unblock the Intestines) treats various sores, carbuncles, and toxic swellings with miraculous efficacy. (Formula see Stroke chapter.)
Garlic-Separated Moxibustion Method treats all kinds of malignant sores and toxins, severe pain or no pain, or numbness. If painful, moxibustion is applied until the pain ceases; if not painful, until pain is felt.
The toxin dissipates with the fire. Since fire implies smooth and unimpeded flow, this is a "conforming treatment" (treating according to the disease's trend), which has great verification in reviving the dying. Use a head of garlic sliced to the thickness of a three-wen coin, place it on the sore, and apply three moxa cones (Zhuang) on the garlic, then replace the garlic and continue moxibustion. Those not yet suppurated will resolve; those already suppurated will ulcerate, and the major pathogenic factor will be unable to cause harm. If the sore is large, mash the garlic and spread it on the sore, lay moxa on top and burn it, replacing the garlic when it spoils. If there is no pain, no suppuration, no elevation, or Yin-toxin pain, more moxibustion is especially appropriate. If after moxibustion there is still no pain and no suppuration, it is incurable, due to deficiency of Qi and Blood.
Scallion-Ironing Method treats patients with weak constitution suffering from masses, whether painful or not; wind invading meridians causing limb pain; or tendon spasms and bone pain in the four limbs. It also treats Liu Zhu (flowing deposits), swelling and pain from falls and blows, stabbing pain from clubbing, women's mastitis ("blown breast"), Yin-syndrome abdominal pain, and cold extremities.
Finely chop and pound scallion heads, stir-fry until hot, and apply to the affected area. Replace when cool and continue ironing; swelling and pain stop immediately, efficacious as divine.
Fermented Soybean Cake treats sores and ulcers that are swollen and hard without ulceration, and those ulcerated but not healing, as well as all stubborn and malignant sores.
Use Jiangxi fermented soybeans (Douchi) ground into powder, mix with saliva to form cakes of three-wen-coin thickness, place on the affected area, and moxibustiate. Replace when dry. For large sores and back carbuncles, use water from rinsing the mouth to mix into cakes, cover the affected area, lay moxa on the cake, and moxibustiate. If not suppurated, it resolves; if suppurated, it ulcerates, and the toxic pathogen heals easily. If ineffective, it is due to deficiency of Qi and Blood.
