Treat severe toxicity of smallpox thorns (Dou Ding, 痘疔) causing failure of pustules to rise, fill with pus, or crust over; or causing severe pain or numbness. Moxibustion should be applied until pain ceases; if there was no pain initially, moxibustion should be applied until pain arises, dispersing the toxin via fire. Cases where the thorn is pricked and toxic blood flows are treatable. If pricked without pain and no blood flows, it is difficult to treat. If this moxibustion method is used, pain will ensue; then prick with a silver needle. Purple blood will flow out, and toxins will dissipate; some may survive. The method involves slicing garlic to a thickness of 3 fen, placing it on the smallpox thorn, and applying small moxa cones on top of the garlic. Change the garlic after every five moxa cones and continue. If swelling and pain persist after purple blood flows out, frequent moxibustion is especially suitable.
