For contusions, knife or stone injuries, and other severe traumatic injuries, the treatment protocol is to first administer Qingxin Yao (Clear Heart Medicine), followed by a diuretic to promote urination, and finally a blood-activating formula to remove stasis. If the injured person is crushed by heavy objects, causing blood stasis to enter the Large Intestine, all medicines should be taken with a "Tangshi" (vehicle/guide for drug action). The specific method is to decoct the Qingxin Yao first, then mix it with one cup of child's urine (Tongbian) and take them together. For pain relief in severe cases, the medicine should be taken with Ginger Decoction (Jiang Tang).
