（疠与癞通）
论
《内经》曰∶风之伤人也，或为寒热，或为热中，或为寒中，或为癞风。又曰∶癞者，因营卫热腐，其气不清，故
使其鼻柱坏而色败，皮肤疡溃，风寒客于脉而不去，名曰疠风。丹溪曰∶是受天地间杀物之风故也。然近见病此者，原
其所由，都是热血得寒所致。或夏月劳甚而入寒泉澡浴，或冬月酒后而乃踢冰履霜及入水取鱼，由是湿热郁于内而不散，
风寒客于外而不行，内外怫郁既久，而渐成肌肉之败腐矣，经所谓热胜则肉腐是也。大抵此症属肺，归重于手足阳明之
经。盖手足阳明者，胃与大肠主之，脾肺二经之腑也。脾主肌肉而肺主皮毛，乃腑及于脏病也。经又曰∶肠胃为市，无
物不受，无物不包，故其热毒积于中而形于外耳。故治法必先取阳明而后及于太阴，亦本而标之之义也。又湿热甚必生
风，风甚则生虫，如腐草为萤之类。又治法必先杀其虫，泻其火，然后生血凉血，祛风导滞，降汤升阴，皆为治之急务
也。治虽多门，大略不越乎此也，学人详之。
脉法
脉两寸浮而紧，或浮而洪，阳脉浮弦，阴脉实大。脉浮缓者易治，洪大而数者难愈，沉实者难愈。脉溢者病在上，
脉浮者病在下，皆为不治之证也。
方法
丹溪曰∶大风病是受天地间杀物之风，古人谓之疠风者，以其酷烈暴悍可畏耳。人得之分在上在下，气受之则在上，
血受之则在下，气血俱受则在上复在下。然皆不外乎阳明一经，阳明者胃与大肠也，无物不受。治之者，须致意看其疙
瘩与疮，上体先见者，多者，在上也；下体先见者，多者，在下也。在上者，以醉仙散取涎血于齿缝中出；在下者，以
通天再造散取恶物虫积于壳道中出。后用防风通圣散调之，更用三棱针于委中出血。夫上下同得者甚重，自非医者神手，
病者铁心，罕能免此。夫从上或从下以渐而来者，皆是可治之证，人见其病势之缓多忽之，以法治之，虽已全愈，若不
绝味断欲，皆不免再发而终于不救也。予治五人矣，其不死者唯一妇人，因贫甚无物可食耳，余皆三四年后再发。孙真
人云∶尝治四五百人，终无一人免于死。非真人不能治，盖无一人能守禁忌耳。其妇人于本病外，又服百余帖加减四物
汤，半年之上月经行，十分安愈。
醉仙散，须量人大小虚实与之。证候重而急者，须先以再造散下之，候补养得完，复与此药，须断盐酱醋、诸鱼椒
果、煎炒烧炙等物，止可淡粥及淡煮熟时菜，虽茄亦不可食，惟乌梢蛇、菜花蛇淡酒蒸熟食之，可以助药力也。
《外科精要》为诸疮立法而不及疠风，盖风为百病之长，以其残害肤体，去死不远，一有染此，鲜能免者，比之疮
疡治法为难，乃不言及。夫八方之风起因于八方，应其时则物生，违其时则杀物。人之禀受有杀气者，则感而受之，如
待虚受物，后又因起居饮食男女，渐成郁气，二气积于厥躬，脾先受之，乃为湿病，温积之久，火气出焉，火气滋蔓，
气浊血污（一云血热凝结，其气不清），化生诸虫，以次传历脏腑。必死之病，而有可生之理，其始病者，胃气微伤，脾
主肌肉，流行甚缓，传变以渐，或可借医药之功而免。谓之必死，非惟医不知药，悉是不能禁欲，可哀也夫！
近见粗工用药，佐以大枫子油，殊不知此药性热，有燥痰之功而伤血，至有病将愈而先失明者。
宋洞虚云∶大风有五，黑色不治，余皆可治。虫食肝，眉落；食肺，鼻崩；食脾，声哑；食心，足底穿，膝虚肿；
食肾，耳鸣啾啾，耳弦生疮，或痹或痛，如针刺状；食身，则皮痒如虫行。自头面来为顺风，自足起者为逆风，多因感
寒热与瘀浊杂气而成。治法，先以雷公散（即再造散）下之，以稀粥养，半月勿妄动作劳，后以醉仙散，中间
或吐或利，不必怕怯，但腮喉头面肿，吞不得下，渐出恶水，或齿缝中出臭水血丝，或言不得，或闷而死，难以饮食，
只以稀粥用管灌入，或一旬或半月一月，面渐白而安。重者，又与换肌散。
换肌散 治大风年深不愈者，以致眉毛脱落，鼻梁崩塌，服此药不逾月，取效如神。

Treatise
The *Huangdi Neijing* (Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon) states: When wind pathogen invades the human body, it may cause alternating chills and fever, heat in the middle jiao, cold in the middle jiao, or Lai Feng (Leprosy). It further states: Lai is caused by the heat and corruption of Ying (Nutritive) and Wei (Defensive) qi, leading to turbid qi. This results in the collapse of the nasal bridge, deterioration of facial complexion, and ulceration of the skin. When Wind-Cold lodges in the meridians and does not disperse, it is named Li Feng (Leprosy). Zhu Danxi stated: This is due to receiving the killing wind from heaven and earth. However, observing recent cases, tracing their origins reveals they are all caused by hot blood encountering cold. For instance, bathing in cold springs after strenuous labor in summer, or treading on ice and frost and fishing in water after drinking alcohol in winter. Consequently, damp-heat stagnates internally without dispersing, while Wind-Cold remains external without moving. After prolonged internal and external stagnation, muscle tissue gradually undergoes decay and putrefaction, as described in the classics: "When heat prevails, flesh rots." Generally, this disease belongs to the Lung, with emphasis on the Hand and Foot Yangming meridians. The Hand and Foot Yangming meridians are governed by the Stomach and Large Intestine, which are the Fu organs corresponding to the Spleen and Lung. The Spleen governs muscles, and the Lung governs skin and hair; thus, this is a disease where Fu pathology affects Zang organs. The classics also state: The intestines and stomach are like a market, accepting and containing everything. Therefore, heat toxins accumulate internally and manifest externally. Thus, treatment must first target the Yangming meridians before addressing the Taiyin meridians, embodying the principle of treating the root while managing the branch. Furthermore, severe damp-heat inevitably generates wind; severe wind generates parasites, similar to rotting grass transforming into fireflies. Treatment methods must first eliminate parasites and purge fire, then nourish and cool the blood, dispel wind, guide out stagnation, descend turbidity, and ascend yin. These are urgent priorities in treatment. Although there are many therapeutic approaches, they generally do not exceed these principles. Students should study them carefully.
Pulse Diagnosis
If the pulses at both Cun positions are floating and tight, or floating and surging, with Yang pulses being floating and wiry and Yin pulses being solid and large, prognosis varies. Floating and moderate pulses indicate ease of treatment; surging, large, and rapid pulses indicate difficulty in cure; sinking and solid pulses also indicate difficulty in cure. Overflowing pulses suggest the disease is located superiorly; floating pulses suggest the disease is located inferiorly. Both are considered untreatable conditions.
Methods
Zhu Danxi stated: Da Feng (Great Wind/Leprosy) is contracted from the killing wind of heaven and earth. Ancients called it Li Feng because its cruelty and ferocity are terrifying. Humans contract this pathogen either superiorly or inferiorly. Qi contraction manifests superiorly; Blood contraction manifests inferiorly; simultaneous Qi and Blood contraction manifests in both upper and lower parts. However, it never goes beyond the Yangming meridian, which refers to the Stomach and Large Intestine, accepting everything. In treatment, one must carefully observe nodules and ulcers. If lesions appear first and predominantly on the upper body, the disease is superior; if on the lower body, it is inferior. For superior diseases, use Zuixian San (Immortal Drunk Powder) to induce expectoration of phlegm and discharge of stasis through the gum margins. For inferior diseases, use Tongtian Zaizao San (Heaven-Penetrating Rebirth Decoction) to discharge foul matter, parasites, and accumulations via the bowels. Subsequently, regulate with Fangfeng Tongsheng San (Saposhnikovia Decoction for Unobstructed Vitality), and additionally apply three-edged needle bleeding at Weizhong (BL40). Cases involving both upper and lower parts with severe symptoms rarely survive unless treated by a divine physician and endured by an iron-willed patient. Gradual onset from above or below indicates treatability. People often neglect such slow-progressing diseases. Even with correct treatment and full recovery, failure to abstain from rich flavors and sexual desire leads to recurrence and eventual death. I treated five patients; only one woman survived because her extreme poverty limited her food intake (indirectly enforcing dietary restrictions). The others relapsed after three to four years. Sun Simiao stated: Having treated hundreds, none survived. Not because Sun could not cure, but because no one could keep the taboos. That woman, besides treating the main disease, took over a hundred doses of Jiajian Siwu Tang (Modified Four Substance Decoction). After more than half a year, her menstruation resumed, and she recovered completely.
Zuixian San dosage must be adjusted according to the patient's constitution (size, deficiency, or excess). For severe and acute cases, first administer Zaizao San to purge, then wait for restoration before giving this medicine. Strict avoidance of salt, soy sauce, vinegar, fish, pepper, nuts, fried, roasted, and grilled foods is required. Only plain congee and lightly boiled vegetables are allowed; even eggplant is forbidden. Only Ushao She (Zaocys) and Caohua She (Dinodon) steamed in plain wine can assist the medicinal power.
*Waike Jingyao* (Essentials of External Medicine) establishes laws for various sores but omits Leprosy. Perhaps because Wind is the chief of all diseases, causing severe damage to skin and limbs, bringing death near, making it harder to treat than ordinary sores, hence omitted. Winds from eight directions arise from eight directions; following seasons promotes growth, violating them causes destruction. Those with innate "killing" constitution are susceptible. Combined with improper lifestyle, diet, and sexual activity, stagnant qi forms. Accumulated in the body, the Spleen suffers first, leading to Dampness. Prolonged warmth generates Fire. Fire spreads, causing turbid qi and polluted blood (or blood heat coagulation with unclear qi), generating parasites that transmit sequentially through zang-fu organs. Though deemed fatal, survival is possible. Early stage involves slight Stomach qi injury. Since Spleen governs muscles, progression is slow and gradual, allowing medical intervention. Declared fatal not just due to medical ignorance, but primarily because patients cannot abstain from desires—truly pitiable!
Recent crude physicians add Dafengzi Oil (Semecarpus Anacardium Oil), unaware that its hot nature dries phlegm but damages blood, sometimes causing blindness before cure.
Song Dongxu stated: There are five types of Da Feng; black-colored ones are untreatable, others are treatable. Parasites eating Liver cause eyebrow loss; eating Lungs cause nasal collapse; eating Spleen cause hoarseness; eating Heart cause sole perforation and knee swelling; eating Kidneys cause tinnitus, ear ulcers, numbness, or stabbing pain; eating Body cause itching like insects crawling. Onset from head/face is Shun Feng (Smooth Wind); from feet is Ni Feng (Reverse Wind). Usually caused by Cold-Heat and turbid qi accumulation. Treatment: First purge with Leigong San (i.e., Zaizao San), nourish with thin congee, avoid exertion for half a month, then use Zuixian San. Vomiting or diarrhea during treatment is normal; do not fear. If face/throat swells preventing swallowing, or foul fluid/blood streaks emerge from gums, or speech is lost, or suffocation occurs, feed thin congee via tube for 10 days to a month until face whitens and calms. Severe cases require Huanji San (Skin-Replacing Powder).
Huanji San treats chronic Da Feng unresponsive to treatment, causing eyebrow loss and nasal collapse. Effective within a month.
Ingredients: Hei Hua She (Black Flower Snake) and Bai Hua She (White Flower Snake) from Qichun/Huangzhou, soaked in wine overnight; Dilong (Earthworm, de-soiled, 3 liang each); Danggui (Angelica Sinensis); Xixin (Asarum); Baizhi (Angelica Dahurica); Tianma (Gastrodia Elata); Manjingzi (Vijaya Fruit); Weilingxian (Clematis Root); Jingjie Sui (Schizonepeta Spike); Gan Juhua (Chrysanthemum); Kushen (Sophora Flavescens); Zishen (Bupleurum?

Process: Grind to fine powder. Take 5 qian per dose, mixed with warm wine. More wine is better.
Zuixian San
Humazi (Sesame), Niubangzi (Arctium Fruit), Manjingzi (Vijaya Fruit), Gouqizi (Goji Berry) (all stir-fried until purple); Bai Jili (Tribulus); Kushen (Sophora); Gualougen (Trichosanthes Root); Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia) (5 qian each; *Baojian* lists first four as 1 liang each).
Process: Grind to fine powder. Mix 1 liang 5 qian of powder with 1 qian Qingfen (Calomel). Take 1 qian per dose, mixed with clear tea. Three times daily (morning, noon, evening). After 5-7 days, foul saliva will emerge from gums, whole-body pain, dizziness like drunkenness, followed by purging of pus-blood and foul stool indicates efficacy.
Tongtian Zaizao San
Yujin (Curcuma Longa Rhizome, 5 qian); Zaojiaoci (Gleditsia Spine, single-grown black large ones, tip removed); Dahuang (Rhubarb, soaked, 1 liang); Bai Chou (Belamcanda Seed, head powder, 6 qian, half raw half fried).
Process: Grind to powder. Take 5 qian per dose, mixed with non-intoxicating wine before sunrise, facing east. Must purge foul matter, foul pus, or worms that day. Black worm mouths indicate chronic disease; red indicates recent. Repeat dose after several days if worms remain. Stop when no worms accumulate.
Yufeng Dan (Wind-Nourishing Pill) treats Li Ji (Leprosy), numbness of hands/feet, hair/eyebrow loss, generalized eruptions, and skin itching. Effective for sores from scratching and all scabies/wind-diseases.
Kushen (Sophora, 1 jin, take first powder, 4 liang); Tu Tao She (Local Peach Snake, 1 strip, soaked in wine 2-3 days, deboned/dried); Wushao She (Zaocys); Baihua She (Elaphe) (1 strip each, processed similarly).
Process: Grind to fine powder. Take 1 jin Zaojiao (Gleditsia), cut into 1-cun pieces, soak in non-intoxicating wine overnight. Remove wine, add 1 bowl fresh water, rub to extract thick juice, strain. Boil residue in silver/copper vessel to make paste. Mix with powder, form pills like paulownia seeds. Take 60-70 pills per dose, delivered with decoction of Fangfeng Tongsheng San, pressed with congee/rice. Three times daily. Bathe on day 3 until heavy sweating occurs; bathe again on day 5 for heavy sweat; three baths ensure stability. (Bathing method see later).
Method 1: Use branches of Peach, Willow, Mulberry, Locust, and Paper Mulberry. Decoct strongly. Soak sitting in a large vat, neck-deep, for one day until liquid resembles oil. Cured. Materia Medica records: For severe diseases with generalized sores, strong decoction of Spirodela (Water Lentil) bath for half a day is highly effective—a divine prescription. Also, equal parts Jingjie Sui, Dahuang, Zhizi, Weijin (likely typo for something else, possibly Wujitou or similar), Dihuang, Duzhong, Fangfeng, Qianghuo, Duhuo, Bai Jili. Grind to fine powder. Mix with Dafengzi Oil and refined honey, form paulownia seed pills. Take 40-50 pills with clear tea, three times daily. ...
Method 2: Soak 5 jin Kushen in 3 dou good wine for one month. Take 1 he per dose, three times daily. Continuous use stabilizes Spleen. Fine powder administration is also good, especially for Urticaria.
Prescription
From *Tujing*, Tao Hongjing used wine-soaked drink for malignant sores; long-term use lightens the body. *Rihua Zi* claims it kills parasites. *Bencao* states it clears latent heat and nourishes Liver/Gallbladder qi. I once used Cang'er Ye (Xanthium Leaf) as sovereign, this herb as minister, plus wine-boiled Ulva (Sea Lettuce/Wuli Fish?) to substitute for Snake deficiency. Grind fine, make paste pills, paulownia seed size. Take 50-60 pills, up to 70-80, with hot clear tea, three times daily. Recover in 1-2 months. Adding Ziping (Spirodela) is faster. Ziping hosts leeches; collect in cold months from mountain ponds, wash clean, steam dry.
Method 3: For finger contracture and severe joint pain progressing to amputation. Use Bi Ma Zi (Castor Bean, shelled) and Huanglian (Coptis), cut pea-sized, 1 liang each. Soak in 1 sheng water in small bottle: 3 days spring/summer, 5 days autumn/winter. Take castor bean, break open. At dawn, face east, swallow one pill of soaking liquid. Gradually increase to 4-5 pills. Mild diarrhea is acceptable. Avoid pork/fish. Eat bland. Repeatedly effective.
Method 4: First take Jiajian Tongsheng San to purge toxic filth. Then use three-edged needle to prick blackened flesh and purple veins at Weizhong to release dead blood. Do not bleed excessively to avoid damaging True Qi. Then take Shenxian Zihua Wan.

Deliver with clear tea. Taboos: Sexual abstinence; salty/sour/alcohol/vinegar/pickles; pork/sheep/chicken/horse/donkey meat; fish/fried fruits; Five Pungents (Onion/Garlic/etc.), Ginger/Pepper/Majiao; Spicy/Hot foods; Buckwheat/Mung beans. Failure to observe taboos/abstinence renders medicine useless; recurrence inevitable. Other meats allowed one year post-cure. Pork/Sheep/Chicken strictly forbidden lifelong. This is the divine formula for Leprosy; do not neglect.
Trauma Methods: For falls/injuries, use Sumu (Sappan Wood) to invigorate blood, Huanglian (Coptis) to descend fire, Baizhu (Atractylodes) to harmonize middle. Decoct with Child's Urine (Tongbian) for best effect. Lower injuries: purge stasis, but first tonify/support. Upper injuries: drink Leek Juice or mix with congee. Never drink cold water; blood congeals with cold. Even a trace of blood entering the Heart causes death. (Danxi)
Bone Fractures: Use 5 fen ancient copper coins quenched in vinegar; Ruxiang (Frankincense) and Moyao (Myrrh) 1 qian each. Grind in wine and take. Or use Jiegu San (Bone-Knitting Powder). (Danxi)
Jiegu Dan (Bone-Knitting Pill) (Yuanjong)
Moyao (Myrrh); Ruxiang (Frankincense); Danggui (Angelica); Chuanjiao (Sichuan Pepper); Ziran Tong (Pyrite, calcined/quenched in vinegar); Chishao (Red Peony); Gusuibu (Drynaria, wine-fried); Baiguiban (Tortoise Plastron,酥-baked); Hu Jinggu (Tiger Tibia,酥-baked); Baizhi (Angelica); Qianjinteng (Prunus Armillaris/Prunus Bush Cherry Kernel - Note: Text says equals Li Ren/Durian Kernel? Likely error for Prunus seed) (Equal parts).
Process: Grind to fine powder. Melt 5 qian beeswax. Form pills like marbles. Take 1 pill per dose, dissolve in 0.5 sheng good wine, decoct. Stir with Southeast-facing Willow branch. Drink hot. Alternative adds Longgu (Dragon Bone) and Chuanxiong.
General Trauma Principle: Excellence lies in tonifying Qi and Blood. Crude practitioners ignore this, seeking quick effects, overusing Ziran Tong (Pyrite) for knitting bones. This herb must be refined before use. Newly fired pyrite has fire/gold toxicity interacting with aromatic/hot drugs. Though it knits bone, its drying/scattering disaster exceeds swords/knives. Beware! Beware! (Danxi)
Metal Wounds: Immediately apply thick layer of Duanshi (Smelted Iron Oxide/Powder) to wrap. If wound is deep and shouldn't close quickly, add Huashi (Talcum) powder.
Another Prescription: Old Fir Bark powder applied topically.
Abdominal pain after trauma indicates blood stasis. Use Taoren Chengqi Tang (Peach Kernel Decoction for Downward Directing) plus Sumu (Sappan Wood) and Honghua (Safflower) to purge.
Danggui Daozhi Tang (Angelica Guiding Stagnation Decoction) (Dongyuan) Treats trauma, stasis obstruction, etc.

Dahuang (Rhubarb, 1 liang); Xingren (Apricot Seed, 21 kernels, remove skin/point, grind separately).
Process: Grind to powder. Decoct in large bowl of wine to 70%. Strain. Take at cockcrow. By dawn, stasis will be purged and cured. (Comment: Uses Xingren instead of Taoren because trauma affects Qi level of Blood; Xingren moves Qi-level Blood.)
