According to the *Bing Yuan Lun* (Treatise on Disease Etiology), Dai Zhi (Nail Paronychia) is characterized by initial swelling of the finger, accompanied by heat and pain, with the skin color not appearing dark. Subsequently, pus forms along the edge of the nail; in severe cases, the nail may fall off.
The *Duan Ju Fang* (Short Drama Formulas) method for treating Dai Zhi:
Boil Licorice Root (*Gancao*) alone and soak the affected area. If Licorice Root is unavailable, soak it in the juice of Mirabilite (*Mangxiao*). Alternatively, soaking in the juice of any single cold-natured medicinal herb or vegetable is sufficient. [Note: (Text missing here)]

The *Xin Lu Fang* (Newly Recorded Formulas) for treating Dai Zhi:
Seal the area with ash mixed with vinegar, two or three times daily.
Another formula: Soak in salt water; this is effective.
The *Ji Yan Fang* (Collected Proven Formulas) for treating Dai Zhi:
Soak in a decoction of Licorice Root (*Gancao*) alone.
Another formula: Soak in the juice of Mirabilite (*Mangxiao*).
The *Seng Shen Fang* (Monk Shen's Formulas) for treating Dai Zhi:
Make mugwort cones and apply direct moxibustion seven moxa cones directly on the painful spot.
The *Ge Shi Fang* for sudden unbearable pulling pain in the finger spreading upwards:

Heat an iron tool until red-hot and cauterize the lesion.
Also stated: For sudden spasm and stiffness of the five fingers preventing flexion and extension:
Apply several moxa cones above the wrist bone.
