Those eggplants that have split open due to the cold dew of autumn should be dried in the shade, burned until the carbonized form is retained (preserving the medicinal nature while removing moisture), and ground into powder. Mixed with water and applied topically, it heals immediately.
Dark sores suddenly appear in the flesh, sized like millet grains or beans, resembling plums or peaches, varying in color to red, black, green, or white. They contain a core with deep roots, appearing purple-black; they can rot muscles and bones, and if the toxin enters the Zang-Fu organs (internal organs), death ensues. It is advisable to moxibustion (Moxibustion) the sore for over one hundred moxa cones (Zhuang), and apply Rumex leaves (Suanmo Ye) around the perimeter to prevent its spread. Internally administering juice from Abelmoschus manihot root (Kuigen) will naturally resolve the toxicity.
Ulcerous swellings exuding yellow fluid spread and infect each other, causing all five fingers to rot, gradually ascending to the legs and feet. Blisters and pus rise everywhere, resembling burns, causing day-and-night revulsion, and defying medical treatment. Take five taels of Green Vitriol Stone (Lvfan Shi), burn it, grind it into powder until it resembles Yellow Cinnabar (Huandan), and store it. Each time, wash and wipe the area with saline solution, then apply a thick layer of the powder medication. Wrap warmly with soft cloth; within the same day, pus discharge ceases and the wound dries. Once daily, wash with saline solution. Ensure areas with pus are thoroughly cleaned before applying medicine; do not touch areas already scabbed. If acute pain occurs, apply a small amount of butter (Su) to moisten the area. After five days, the scab begins to lift. Following the previous washing and application method for ten days, the scabs gradually fall off completely. If soft areas regenerate white pustules, break them and apply medicine; self-healing occurs with miraculous efficacy.
Crush Chinese Camphor Wood (Xiangzhang Mu), decoct in water, and wash with warm liquid morning and evening three times daily for cure.
To treat various types of swelling and toxic sores: Take several jin (approx. 5-6 kg) of willow branch tips, simmer in a pot to make a paste resembling brown sugar. Add half a jin of honey and continue boiling to concentrate. Store in porcelain vessels for use.
Wash with dozens of snails; two applications result in cure. This prescription is miraculous.
Geng Sheng notes: For tinea capitis (Laitou), washing with snails is effective, but not as efficacious as crushing shell shrimp with white sugar and applying it after shaving the head. However, intense itching follows application; scratching must be strictly avoided. Wait for the scab to fall off naturally for recovery. If not fully healed, apply one or two more times; recovery is guaranteed. Tested on many individuals with consistent results.
Take whole Galla Chinensis (Wubeizi), stir-fry in a clay pot until yellow, and grind into powder. Mix with good vinegar to form a paste, spread on the affected area, and change six to seven times for cure. Effective for both new and old cases.
Powder of Evodia Fruit (Wuzhuyu) mixed with vinegar, applied to the sole of both feet overnight for cure. This works by guiding heat downward.
