Treats scrofula (Luo Li), machete-shaped scrofula (Ma Dao), and scrofula with goiter (Xie Ying). The lesion extends from below the ear or behind the ear down the neck to the shoulder, or enters the supraclavicular fossa (Que Pen); this belongs to the domains of the Hand Shaoyang and Foot Shaoyang meridians. If the scrofula is located below the neck or even reaches the Jiache acupoint, it is caused by pathogenic factors from the Heart and Spleen affecting the Foot Yangming meridian. Now, these three types of syndromes are treated together:
Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix): Protects the skin and hair, consolidates Yuan Qi, invigorates blood and generates new blood; it is the sacred medicine for physicians specializing in sores and ulcers.
Lian Qiao (Forsythiae Fructus): Can dissipate blood stasis and qi stagnation in various meridians; it is indispensable among medicines for sores and ulcers of the twelve meridians.
Lou Lu (Euphorbiae Humifusae Radix)
Sheng Ma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma): Each 1 qian.
Ge Gen (Puerariae Lobatae Radix): 5 fen. These three herbs are intrinsic medicines of the Foot Yangming Stomach meridian.
Mu Dan Pi (Moutan Cortex): Removes retained old blood stasis in the intestines and stomach.
Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Sheng Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix), Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmanniae Radix): These three herbs harmonize blood, cool blood, and generate blood.
Bai Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix Alba): Each 3 fen. Its sour and cold nature tonifies the Middle Jiao and benefits the Lung; it is essential for treating abdominal pain. In summer, double the dosage; in winter when it is cold, do not use it.
Fang Feng (Saposhnikoviae Radix): 5 fen.
Qiang Huo (Notopterygii Rhizoma et Radix), Du Huo (Angelicae Pubescentis Radix): Each 1 qian. These three herbs must be associated with syndromes of the Hand Taiyang and Foot Taiyang meridians; they are used for symptoms such as back pain, stiff neck, sensation of waist breaking, and sensation of head being pulled. Fang Feng is pungent and warm; if the sore is above the diaphragm, it should be used even without Taiyang syndrome, because it can disperse wind-pathogens in the upper body and relieve patient stiffness.
Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix): 8 fen. Its efficacy is similar to Lian Qiao; if the sore is not in the Shaoyang meridian, remove it.
Shu Niu Zi (Arctii Fructus): Resolves toxicity; do not use if there is no swelling.
Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix): 3 fen. Tonifies Lung Qi; add if there is shortness of breath, irregular breathing, or wheezing.
Zhi Gan Cao (Prepared Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma): 5 fen. Harmonizes the Middle Jiao, modulates other herbs, clears fire, benefits Stomach Qi, and also dispels pathogenic factors from sores.
Rou Gui (Cinnamomi Cortex): 2 fen. Dissipates nodules and accumulations; should be used in small amounts for Yin-type sores and ulcers. This reflects the principle of "treating cold with heat"; furthermore, since yin-cold covers the sore, large pungent-hot herbs are used to eliminate floating frozen qi. Remove if irritability is present.
Huang Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma): Used to treat restlessness and oppression.
Huang Bai (Phellodendri Cortex): Stir-fried, 3 fen. Add if there is heat or weakness in the legs and feet; if there is irritability and a desire to remove clothing, indicating latent fire in the Kidney, it is especially suitable to add; do not use if these symptoms are absent.
Kun Bu (Sargassum): 2 fen. Salty flavor softens hardness; suitable for hard sores.
San Leng (Sparganii Rhizoma): Roasted, 2 fen.
E Zhu (Curcumae Rhizoma): Roasted, 3 fen. These two herbs are used for severe, hard sores; do not use if not hard.
Yi Zhi Ren (Alpiniae Oxyphyllae Fructus): 2 fen. Excessive salivation indicates disharmony of the Stomach; add for patients who spit saliva or vomit food due to Stomach cold.
Mai Ya (Hordei Fructus Germinatus): 1 qian. Treats abdominal contraction and urgency; also aids digestion and tonifies the Stomach.
Shen Qu (Massa Medicata Fermentata): Stir-fried; promotes digestion.
Hou Po (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex): 1.2 qian. Add for abdominal distension; otherwise do not use.
Process into pills using steamed wheat cake. Take 3 qian per dose. If Qi movement is obstructed, add Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) and Mu Xiang (Aucklandiae Radix); if constipation occurs, add Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) processed with wine; if blood dryness exists, add Tao Ren (Persicae Semen) and Da Huang; if wind dryness exists, add Hu Ma Ren (Cannabis Semen), Da Huang, Qin Jiao (Gentianae Macrophyllae Radix), and Zao Jiao Zi (Gleditsiae Sinensis Spina).
This prescription consists of herbs for the Foot Yangming, Hand Shaoyang, and Foot Shaoyang meridians. Refer to Li Dongyuan's annotations under each herb for detailed explanations. Li Dongyuan established this method to allow practitioners to adjust the formula flexibly according to the syndrome. If adjusted appropriately, it can indeed manage various sores and ulcers comprehensively, reflecting his infinite benevolence towards future generations.
