Whenever there is a fall or blow injury, fracture, contusion, or sprain, although caused by external contact, it inevitably leads to internal injury, causing Qi and Blood stagnation, resulting in redness, swelling, or cyanosis, with unbearable pain. Therefore, initially, one must use sweet, acrid, and warm-dispersing herbs to move Qi and break blood stasis, so that the pain will naturally subside and the swelling will dissipate. Examples include herbs such as Du Huo (Angelicae Pubescentis Radix), Bai Zhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix), Jing Jie (Schizonepetae Herba), Fang Feng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Xiong Qiao (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Mo Yao (Myrrha), Gu Wen Qian (Ancient Coins), Lu Jiao Hui (Deer Horn Ash), Su Mu (Sappan Wood), Chi Shao (Paeoniae Radix Rubra), and Hong Hua (Carthami Flos). These are decocted in water and wine, and adding Tong Bian (Child's Urine) is particularly effective. Once the external trauma has settled, it is especially appropriate to regulate the condition with herbs that tonify Qi, Blood, tendons, and bones. The limbs rely entirely on Qi and Blood; after an injury, nourishment and supplementation are essential. However, for injuries above, removing blood stasis should come first; for injuries below, tonification should come first. One must also assess the Stomach Qi. If excessive blood loss occurs and the pulse is faint and nearly imperceptible, it is urgent to use Ren Shen Tang (Ginseng Decoction) added with Tong Bian (Child's Urine) to restore Yuan Qi (Primal Qi). In severe cases where the limbs are cold and the pulse is faint, large doses of Ren Shen (Ginseng), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), and Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata) are needed to salvage life, a situation similar to that of postpartum women. A harmonious and moderate pulse indicates survival, while a rapid and hollow (Kou Mai, 芤脉) pulse indicates death; the pulse should be deficient and fine rather than rapid and full. It is crucial to avoid wind and absolutely refrain from drinking cold water, as blood coagulates when exposed to cold; if even a trace of blood enters the Heart, death ensues. The world regards Zi Ran Tong (Natural Copper Pyrite) as a bone-setting medicine, seeking only rapid results, but copper is not unadministerable. However, if freshly taken from fire, the fire toxin and metal toxin fan each other; although it has the merit of healing fractures, its drying and dispersing harm is worse than swords and knives, so it should not be used frequently.
The *Jing* (Classic) elucidates: When falling from a height, evil blood accumulates internally. Regardless of which meridian is injured, it should all be treated as Wind invading the Liver Meridian. This is because Blood is governed by the Liver, and evil blood necessarily returns to the Liver, stagnating under the hypochondrium. Cold-cooling and blood-breaking meridians-regulating drugs should not be used lightly.
To treat blows and falls causing fractures and internal damage to the Liver and Lung, with incessant hematemesis, or accumulation of phlegm-blood causing abdominal distension and fullness:
Zi Jin Teng Pi (Bark of Broussonetia papyrifera stem, 2 liang), Jiang Zhen Xiang (Dipterocarpus Resin), Xu Duan (Dipsaci Radix), Bu Gu Zhi (Psoraleae Fructus), Hu Po (Amber, ground separately), Wu Ming Yi (Hematite, calcined and quenched in wine seven times), Pu Huang (Typhae Pollen), Niu Xi (Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix, soaked in wine), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix, stir-fried with wine), Tao Ren (Persicae Semen, skin and tip not removed, 1 liang each), Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, wrapped in paper and baked), Po Xiao (Natrii Sulfas, ground separately, 1.5 liang each). Grind into powder. Take 2 qian per dose, mixed with strong decoction of Su Mu (Sappan Wood) and Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) in wine. After taking three doses, if bowel movement occurs, the patient will be at ease.
Another prescription:
Drink Jiuzhi (Leek Juice) mixed with Tong Bian (Child's Urine) to dissipate blood stasis. For fractures, mix Mi (Honey) with Cong Bai (Scallion White), pound into a uniform paste, apply thickly to the site, and take Bai Ji (Bletillae Rhizoma) powder mixed with wine, 2 qian per dose.
