(From *Taiping Huimin Heji Jufang*, which is also known as *Shixuan San* in *Waike Jingyao*)

Treats carbuncles and sores that have just begun to develop or are already developed, where the pathogenic factor is located high but the pain is low, the sore is severe while the body is emaciated and weak, and the pulse is forceless (if the carbuncle or furuncle is not caused by excessive consumption of rich food, erysipelas, fire-heat pathogen, or stomach yellow).

Ingredients: Huangqi (Astragali Radix), Renshen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma), Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) [2 qian], Chuanxiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Guixin (Cinnamomi Cortex), Baizhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix), Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Nongpo (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex), Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) [1 qian].
Take this amount per dose to treat back carbuncles and ding sores.

This prescription consists of herbs belonging to the Hand Taiyin, Foot Jueyin, and Yangming meridians. Renshen tonifies Qi, Chuanxiong and Danggui invigorate blood, Gancao detoxifies, Guixin, Baizhi, and Jiegeng expel pus, Nongpo drains excess fullness, and Fangfeng disperses wind pathogens. These are herbs that regulate the exterior and interior, Qi and Blood, collectively achieving the effect of assisting Yang and internal expulsion (Tuoli). Zhu Zhenheng (Danxi) stated: If used for swelling ulcers (unbroken sores) in winter, it can turn a severe condition into a mild one; if used for broken ulcers (ulcerated sores) in summer, due to the warming and dispersing nature of Guixin and Nongpo, assisted by Fangfeng and Baizhi, I fear that despite the presence of Ginseng, it may be difficult to rely on its efficacy. People who do not distinguish between winter and summer, nor consider meridian differences, will inevitably make mistakes. *Jiyao* states: Treating sores requires three methods: Tuoli (internal support/expulsion), unblocking the Zang-Fu organs, and harmonizing Ying and Wei. For pathogenic factors moving from exterior to interior, the pulse is deep and solid, accompanied by fever and irritability, without obvious redness on the surface, and pain is deep inside, indicating the pathogen has penetrated deeply; one should unblock the Zang-Fu organs to cut off the source. For pathogenic factors moving from interior to exterior, the pulse is floating and rapid, swelling is on the surface, and symptoms are externally manifest, fearing that extreme pathogenic energy may move inward; one should first use Tuoli. For conditions between interior and exterior, with no aversion to cold on the surface and smooth functioning of internal Zang-Fu organs, knowing the pathogen is in the meridians, one should harmonize Ying and Wei; employing these three methods, even if immediate cure is not achieved, there will surely be no transformation of the disease.

(From *Zonglu*)

Treats various sores after ulceration, characterized by abundant pus and internal deficiency (after ulceration, excessive loss of pus and blood leads to exhaustion of both Yin and Yang, requiring major tonification of Qi and Blood).
