Sores on the Neck: A sore appears on the upper neck, the size of a cherry, presenting five colors. After the sore ruptures, the skin of the neck breaks; however, it will resolve spontaneously if milk is consumed daily.
Stiff Limbs: The limbs are stiff with persistent alternating chills and fever. After several days, the limbs become hard as stone, producing a sound like bells or chimes when struck by an object, accompanied by progressive emaciation. Consuming a decoction of equal parts Cornus officinalis (Cornelian Cherry) and Costus root (Aucklandiae Radix) cures the condition.
Rectal Prolapse: The rectum protrudes about one cun, causing severe pain. It must be allowed to dry and fall off naturally before prolapsing again; this condition is named "Jie Chang Bing" (Intestinal Severance Disease). If the entire intestine protrudes, it is incurable, but if only the initial one cun protrudes, it is treatable. Place sesame oil in a container and have the patient sit on it with their buttocks, then drink several cups of hemp seed juice to cure.
Water from Mouth and Nose: Foul-smelling water flows from the mouth and nose. When collected in a bowl, iron-colored shrimp-like fish, the size of japonica rice, can be seen jumping incessantly. Catching them with hands causes them to turn into water, indicating muscle decay. Healing occurs through dietary restraint, specifically avoiding chicken meat.
Protruding Soles: The soles of the feet protrude (like the shin), with black bean-like sores growing on top, hard as nails, preventing walking. Fragmented holes appear in the tibia with marrow flowing out, accompanied by body chills and a craving for alcohol. This is caused by the cold and hot qi of the Liver and Kidney devouring each other. Apply powder of processed Aconitum carmichaelii (Chuanwu) externally and decoct Allium tuberosum seeds (Jiu Zi) internally for efficacy.
Sudden Diarrhea after Abdominal Distension: Chronic abdominal distension suddenly leads to profuse diarrhea of several sheng, day and night, unresponsive to medication. This is due to Qi collapse. Decocting Alpinia oxyphylla (Yi Zhi Ren) into a thick decoction and drinking it brings immediate recovery.
Abdominal Numbness: Numbness (loss of sensation) on the abdomen. Eating boiled white parts of garlic scapes (Cong Bai) leads to self-healing.
Joint Dislocation of Limbs: Limb joints appear dislocated with only skin connecting them, unable to move. This is called "Jin Jie" (Sinew Unbinding). Soak 3 liang of Astragalus membranaceus (Huangqi) in wine overnight, remove, dry, and powder. Take 2 qian with wine per dose; finishing the course ensures peace.
Hard Penis: The penis remains erect without flaccidity, with continuous seminal discharge and needle-like pain upon palpation, feeling brittle. This is a "Shen Man Lou Ji" (Kidney Fullness Leakage Disorder). Powder equal parts Allium tuberosum seeds (Jiu Zi) and Psoralea corylifolia (Pugu Zhi/Bu Gu Zhi). Take 3 qian decocted in water, three times daily. Stop when cured.
Flesh Growth in Throat: Layered flesh grows in the throat, swelling gradually without pain. Orifices form after many days, emitting foul odor, leading to reduced appetite. Decocting leaves of Clausena lansium (Chou Ju) and taking continuously cures it.
Iron-like Abdomen: Water flows from the navel, transforming into worm-like movements circling the body, biting with unbearable itching and pain, undeterred by feather brushing. Bathe externally with a thick decoction of Atractylodes lancea (Cang Zhu). Internally, take Cang Zhu powder mixed with a little Moschus (Shexiang), mixed with water to cure.
Seeing Insects Fly: Constantly seeing various birds and insects flying in front of the eyes, which vanish when grasped. This is a disorder of the Liver and Gallbladder meridians. Powder equal parts Ziziphus jujuba seed (Suanzaoren), Notopterygium incisum (Qianghuo), Natrii Sulfas (Xuan Ming Fen), and Celosia cristata flower (Qingxiangzi). Take 2 qian decocted in water, including dregs, three times daily.

Eye Protrusion: Eyeballs droop to the nose, appearing black, with unbearable pain, sometimes accompanied by bloody stool. Named "Gan Zhang" (Liver Swelling). Decoct Notopterygium incisum (Qianghuo) and drink several cups to heal.
Abdominal Sounds: An object in the abdomen makes sounds following human speech. Drink one cup of Isatis tinctoria root juice (Banlan Gen), divided into five doses. Also known as "Ying Sheng Chong" (Echoing Sound Worm); regular consumption of Omphalia lapidescens (Leiwang) heals it.
Craving Clear Oil: Drinking five bowls of clear oil is required for satisfaction; eating it regularly ensures health, otherwise illness ensues. This is caused by hair entering the stomach, wrapped by Qi and Blood, transforming into worms. Take 5 qian of Realgar (Xionghuang) powder mixed with water; the worms will exit. If alive, place in hot oil, then pour the oil and worms into the Yangtze River shortly after.
Bedridden but Able to Eat: Lying in bed with immobile limbs, able only to eat, speaking grandiosely about food. This is "Shi Shuo Wu Wang Bing" (Loss of Food Expectation Disease). Treatment involves discussing eating pork; when the patient expresses desire, show them pork but withhold it, depriving them of the expectation. Recovery occurs when saliva flows during sleep.
Broken Finger Joints: Ten finger joints are necrotic, connected only by sinews without joints. Worms emerge from the flesh, over a chi long like rush stems, with green hair all over the body. Named "Xue Yu". Decoct Poria cocos (Fuling) and Picrorhiza scrophulariiflora (Huhuanglian) and drink to heal.

Although able to eat and drink, the patient does not speak, resembling drunkenness. Named "Xue Kui". Take 2 qian of Trogopterus dung (Wulingzhi) powder, mixed with warm wine to self-heal.
Flying Flesh Pieces: After moxibustion ends, a symptom called "Da Chi" recedes, and fresh flesh pieces fly out of the sore; shaped like butterflies flying away, causing unbearable pain. This is due to heat in both flesh and blood. Take 5 qian each of Rheum palmatum (Dahuang) and Mirabilite (Piaoxiao) powder, mixed with water. Mild purgation indicates healing.
Many Lice Crying: Upon lying down, lice emerge all over the body, reaching about five bowls' worth, causing flesh and blood decay. Increasing nightly, the itching and pain are indescribable. Despite drinking water and lying in bed, the patient cries day and night, with continuous bleeding from the tongue tip, blackening of body and teeth, lip trembling, and nasal opening. Drinking salt-vinegar soup ten-plus times brings peace.
Red Eyes and Flared Nostrils: Eyes red, nostrils flared (dyspnea), spots on the body, hair standing straight. This is heat-toxin vapor condensing in the Lower Jiao. Powder equal amounts of Alum (Baifan) and Talcum (Huashi), one dose. Decoct in three bowls of water until half remains. Let the patient drink continuously until finished for peace.
Subcutaneous Worms Moving: Worms like crabs walk under the skin, making sounds like a crying child, transformed from muscles and sinews. Powder equal parts Omphalia lapidescens (Leiwang) and Realgar (Xionghuang), each 1 liang. Sprinkle on pork slices, roast until cooked, and consume entirely for peace.
Inverted Nail Spikes: Suddenly, inverted nail spikes like cones grow on hands and feet, causing unbearable pain. Boiling and eating Malva verticillata (Kuicai) cures it.
Hair Growing from Nose: Hair grows in the nose, reaching one or two chi in length day and night, becoming thick and round like a rope, with unbearable pain. Plucking one strand results in regrowth. Caused by excessive consumption of pig and sheep blood. Powder equal parts Frankincense (Ruxiang) and Myrrh (Moyao), each 1 liang. Make pills the size of wutong seeds. Take one dose empty-stomached and one before bed, ten pills with water, to naturally fall off.
Cat-Eye Sores: Sores appear on the face and body, resembling cat eyes, shiny, without pus or blood, with intermittent itching and pain, reduced appetite, and eventually penetrating the tibia. Named "Han Chuang" (Cold Sore). Self-heals by eating more fish, chicken, leeks, and onions.
Rib Rupture and Intestine Protrusion: Ribs rupture, intestines protrude (foul odor). Immediately apply sesame oil to the intestines and push them back in manually. Decoct Ginseng radix (Renshen) and Lycium barbarum (Gouqi) to rinse; the skin will close. Eat lamb kidney porridge; heals in ten days.
Breath from Mouth and Nose: Breath spirals and does not dissipate, condensing into a black lid color. Over ten days, it spreads to shoulders and chest, connecting to flesh, hard as metal and stone, preventing eating. Often acquired after malaria. Decoct Alisma orientale (Zexie) and drink three cups daily for five days to heal.
Conical Flesh Growths: Conical flesh suddenly grows all over the body, itchy and painful, preventing eating. Named "Xue Yong" (Blood Stagnation). If not treated quickly, it ulcerates and oozes pus. Wash with ash-leachate from burning red-skin scallions; drink several cups of fermented soybean (Douchi) soup for peace.
Twitching Eyebrows: Inability to see. Blinking eyelids, unresponsive to calls, able only to eat. Some cases last days without effect. Take juice from 3 liang of garlic, mixed with wine to cure.
Bleeding from Pores: Blood exits pores sequentially. If blood does not exit, skin swells like a drum; within moments, eyes, nose, and mouth close due to Qi expansion. Named "Mai Yi". Drink one or two cups of ginger juice and water for peace.
Asthma and Mutism: Sudden upward rushing of Qi causing asthma and inability to speak, with salivary flow and vomiting, shaking teeth. Excessive Qi exit leads to fainting; recovery follows similar symptoms. Named "Shanghan Bing Re Huoluan" (Cold Damage combined with Hot Cholera). Take 5 qian each of Ginseng radix (Renshen) and Rheum palmatum (Dahuang), decocted and taken hot for peace.
Flesh Ball in Mouth: A fleshy ball grows in the mouth, foul-smelling and repulsive to the self. A root line extends over five cun, like a hairpin. Spitting out the ball, swallowing the line after eating, and gently pinching it causes heart-piercing pain and distress. Take 1 qian of Moschus (Shexiang) powder mixed with water; effective in three days.
Stone in Sore: Whole-body sores resemble blisters or sand pears. Each ruptures to release water containing a stone plate the size of a fingernail. Blisters re-form, consuming muscle and flesh; incurable. Urgently take 5 liang each of Burreed tuber (Sanleng) and Curcuma zedoaria (Ezhu) powder, divided into three doses, taken continuously with wine to heal.
Hot Head and Face: Heat and light emanate from the head and face; others feel burning heat when approaching. Take 5 qian of garlic juice mixed with wine. Vomiting snake-like substances brings peace.
Self-Perception of Duality: Two people lie together, indistinguishable as true or false, mute, unresponsive to questions. This is "Li Hun" (Separating Soul). Decoct Cinnabar (Chensha), Ginseng radix (Renshen), and Poria cocos (Fuling) to drink. The true person gains clarity; the false self dissolves.
Emaciation from Alcoholism: A man skilled in drinking since childhood drinks one or two dou daily as an adult without getting drunk. Without alcohol, he screams incessantly, eats nothing, and becomes emaciated. Bind his limbs with a towel to prevent movement, support him standing slightly. Open a jar of raw spicy wine near his mouth. The aroma enters his mouth, and he desperately wants to drink. Firmly prevent consumption. Suddenly, he vomits a lump directly into the jar. Seal the jar with paper, boil vigorously until half the wine evaporates. Opening it reveals a lump shaped like a pig liver, weighing about three liang, with countless needle-sized holes. Discard in the river. Diet returns to normal; he cannot drink even a drop thereafter.
Penetrated Tongue Center: Self-inflicted fall penetrates the center of the tongue, with continuous bleeding. Brush the wound with chicken feather dipped in rice vinegar to stop bleeding. Powder Rhizoma Polygonati (Puhuang), Apricot kernel (Xingren), and Borax (Pengsha). Mix with honey into a paste, hold in mouth to dissolve for peace.
Snake-like Edema: Edema on the body, head, and face resembles snakes. Use one qian of moss from raindrops on step bricks, dissolved in water, applied to the "snake's head"; swelling subsides spontaneously.
Smoke Inhalation Near Death: Charcoal smoke often causes death. Holding a slice of radish in the mouth prevents toxicity. Alternatively, dry and powder it for future use, or crush fresh radish in new water and drink. For residents trapped in stone rooms fumigated by enemies, chewing radish juice and swallowing restores consciousness.
Heart Pain Near Death: For patients with locked jaws, use three to five old garlic scapes from last year, peel roots, chop leaves into a paste. Pry open the patient's mouth, insert paste into the throat using a silver/copper spoon, followed by sesame oil. Consciousness returns once the paste reaches the throat. Soon, intestinal parasites transform into yellow water and pass out, eliminating the root cause permanently.
Five Corpse Diseases: Fei Shi (Flying Corpse) wanders skin, penetrates organs, causing stabbing pain and unpredictability. Dun Shi (Escaping Corpse) attaches to bones, attacks vessels; triggered by seeing corpses or hearing mourning. Feng Shi (Wind Corpse) invades limbs, pain location unknown; triggered by wind/snow. Chen Shi (Sunken Corpse) entangles bones/organs, strikes heart/hypochondrium; sharp pain triggered by cold.

Sudden Attack by Evil Spirits: Attacked by evil qi, often at night, in toilets, fields, cold empty rooms, or remote places. Suddenly seeing ghosts, inhaling foul air, collapsing instantly, cold limbs, clenched fists, clear blood from nose/mouth, life-threatening. Similar to corpse syncope but abdomen silent, heart/hypochondrium warm. Do not move the patient. Surround with family beating drums and burning fire, or burn Moschus, Benzoin, Sappan wood, Camphor wood. Move only after recovery. For emergency, take 5 qian powdered fresh Rhinoceros horn (Sheng Xijiao), 1 fen Cinnabar (Zhusha), 1 fen Moschus (Shexiang), mixed with fresh water and灌ed. For thin constitutions, use Peach branch/leaf decoction.

For leg cramps entering abdomen with unbearable pain, hold limbs, moxa 14 moxibustions 2 cun left of umbilicus. Decoct 1 liang Ginger and 5 cups Wine thick, take at once. Wrap wet cotton wadding boiled in vinegar around cramp site. Immerse limbs in hot salt water, wash chest/hypochondrium to recover. Before entering wells/tombs, throw chicken feathers; sinking means safe, hovering means toxic. Pour several sheng of wine into well/tomb first, wait, then enter.
Startled Mutism: Take Medusae crust (Mituo seng) powder alone, mix with tea, take one spatula-full. Effective for mutism caused by fear entering Heart collaterals while fleeing tigers/snakes in mountains.
Skin Bleeding: Use paper from boiled wine jars, crumble like willow catkins, press onto bleeding spot with hand to stop.
Throat Obstruction Moaning Not Eating: Hua Tuo once saw a patient with throat obstruction, unable to eat, moaning. Ordered ingestion of minced garlic and three sheng of strong vinegar. Patient vomited a snake and healed.
