Coughing up pus and blood from the mouth, with a dull pain in the chest, and expectorating sputum with a fishy odor, this is Lung Abscess (Fei Yong). It should be treated with Jiegeng Tang (Platycodon Decoction). Pain around the umbilicus, distension and tightness of the abdominal skin, frequent urination resembling strangury, and hearing a sloshing sound when turning or shaking the body, this is Intestinal Abscess (Chang Yong). It should be treated with Qianjin Mudanpi San (Millennium Moutan Powder). Distending and painful swelling in the epigastrium, tenderness to touch such that one cannot bear pressure, and frequent vomiting of pus, this is Gastric Abscess (Wei Yuan Yong). It should be treated with Rendong Tang (Honeysuckle Decoction). Medical texts state: "For patients who vomit pus, there is no need to specifically treat the vomiting. Once the pus is exhausted, it will heal on its own." This refers to the case where the Gastric Abscess has already ruptured.
[Qianjin Mudanpi San Formula]
Mudan Pi (Moutan Cortex) - 5 qian
Yiyi Ren (Coix Semen) - 5 qian
Gualou Ren (Trichosanthis Semen) - 1.5 qian
Taoren (Persicae Semen), peeled of skin and tips, excluding double-kernel seeds, crushed - 12 pieces
Decoct these ingredients in water and take orally.
If constipation occurs, add Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) 1.5 qian and Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) 3 qian. Stop taking subsequent doses once bowel movement is relieved.
[Rendong Tang Formula]
Jinyinhua (Lonicerae Japonicae Flos) - 4 liang
Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) - 3 qian
Decoct these ingredients in water and take all at once. For those who can drink alcohol, decoct using wine.
This formula can rapidly resolve all internal and external carbuncles and swellings, but it is best taken early.
There are nine names for parasites, yet this still does not fully describe their forms; however, they generally arise from damp-heat. Whenever substances are steamed by dampness and oppressed by heat, worms are generated. Medical texts state: "Worms growing to about one chi in length can cause death." Worm pain piercing the heart injures people very quickly; urgent treatment is required, using Zhuichong Wan (Worm-Chasing Pill). However, if vomiting roundworms is due to Stomach Cold, Lizhong Anxi San (Regulate Middle Stabilize Roundworm Powder) should be used. This method differs from treating other types of worms; physicians should note this.
[Zhuichong Wan Formula]
Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma), mixed with wine, steamed three times and sun-dried three times - 1 liang
Muxiang (Aucklandiae Radix) - 5 qian
Binglang (Arecae Semen) - 1 liang
Wuyi (Cyperi Rhizoma) - 1 liang
Baileiwan (Fasciae Larvae Ascaris) - 1 liang
Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), stir-fried with aged soil - 7 qian
Chenpi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) - 7 qian
Shenqu (Massa Medicata Fermentata), stir-fried - 5 qian
Zhishi (Immaturus Fortunellae Fructus), stir-fried with flour - 3.5 qian
Grind the above ingredients into powder. Use Kuanlgenpi (Meliae Cortex) and Zhuya Zaojiao (Gleditsiae Spina) each 2 liang, decoct strongly to obtain one bowl of juice. Mix this juice with the medicinal powder to form pills the size of tung tree seeds. Take 50 pills per dose, administered with sugar water on an empty stomach.
If stools are loose, remove Dahuang from this formula.
(Lizhong Anxi San is found in the "Middle Cold" section.)
Another prescription uses Feizi (Torreya Semen). Shell several jin of them, peel them, and take 10-20 pieces on an empty stomach. After one month, the worms will be completely expelled, and the patient's complexion and spirit will greatly improve.
In the Lingnan region, there are many methods of burying Gu poison to harm people. This method involves extracting the toxin from poisonous creatures and secretly placing it in food or drink. Once ingested, the person becomes poisoned. However, poisoned individuals often do not know how to detoxify themselves; once symptoms manifest, it is incurable. Only Taiyi Zijin Dan (Supreme Purple Gold Pill) can instantly relieve the toxicity. Therefore, when traveling far to Sichuan and Guangdong, one must carry this medicine.
