The *Zhubing Yuanhou Lun* (Treatise on the Pathogenesis and Manifestations of All Diseases) states: The Lung meridian connects with the nose. If the Lung organ is invaded by Wind-Cold, the Qi in the nose becomes disordered, body fluids become stagnant and obstructed, leading to nasal polyps. Cold pathogen clashes with... [text incomplete].
Fan Wang's Formulas (*Fan Wang Fang*) for Nasal Polyps, Tongcao Powder Formula:
Tongcao (Herba Tetrapanacis Agrestis, half tael), Fan Shi (Alumen, one tael [calcined]), Zhenzhu (Pearl, one zhu).
These three substances are mixed, ground, and sifted. Cotton is spread out like a date pit; take an amount of powder equivalent to a soybean, place it at the tip of the cotton, and insert it into the nose, twice daily. (Note: This formula is from *Ji Yan Fang*...)
Qianjin Fang (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) for Nasal Polyps:
Grind Alumen into powder, mix with animal fat (Mian Zhi), wrap in cotton, and insert into the nose. After several days, the polyp will be expelled with the medicine.
Another formula: Moxibustion on Shangxing (GV23) acupoint, 200 moxa cones. Additionally, 100 moxa cones each at points three cun above and below Shangxing.
Ge Shi Fang (Formulas by Master Ge) for Nasal Polyps Causing Obstruction:
Alumen and Hu Fen (Lead Carbonate), equal parts, ground into powder. Mix with fat from a black sheep and apply to the flesh/polyp. Repeated application yields good results.
Another formula: Grind aged Gou Ti (Cucumis Melo Var. Armandii fruit stalk) into powder and instill onto the polyp.
Bo Ji An Zhong Fang (Universal Relief and Safety Formulas) for Nasal Congestion due to Polyps:
Take a small amount of Xixin powder (Asarum Root) and insufflate it into the nose; obstruction will naturally clear.
Xiao Yan Fang (Effective Formulas) for Intranasal Flesh Growth:
Huma (Sesame seeds) and refined Alumen, equal parts, ground into powder. Puncture the polyp with a needle, apply the powder, twice daily. Continue until healed.
The *Zhubing Yuanhou Lun* states: The nose is the external manifestation of the Lung; Lung Qi opens into the nose. If there is heat within the organs, hot Qi rushes to the nose, thus sores arise.
Qianjin Fang for Sores Growing in the Nose:
Burn rice used for ancestral sacrifices, grind into powder, and apply to the nose.
Another formula: Burn an old horse saddle, grind into powder, and apply.
Another formula: Crush Apricot Kernels (Xing Ren) and mix with milk for topical application.
Another formula: Apply earwax from horses or cattle.
It also states: For treating "Han" worms (pronounced 'gai') eating away at the nose: Red-hot copper chopsticks are quenched in vinegar, and the resulting liquid is applied.
Qianjin Fang for Nasal Pain:
Constantly apply oil to the inside and outside of the nose.
Another formula: Applying butter/clarified butter (Su) is also excellent.
Qipo Fang (Formulas by Jivaka) for Heat-Wind causing Dryness in the Nose and Brain:
Apricot Kernels (Xing Ren) one small sheng (peeled and roasted), Su He Xiang (Styrax Resin) two sheng. Place Apricot Kernels into the Styrax Resin and decoct until the kernels turn yellow. Strain the liquid, place in a mortar, and pound into powder, then return to... [text incomplete]
