Shi Liu (Stone Tumor) also arises on the surface of the skin; it feels as hard as stone upon palpation, and is painless. The treatment method is the same as that for Gu Liu (Bone Tumor).
Qi Liu (Qi Tumor) presents with no pain or itching. Its size fluctuates, expanding and contracting with the movement of Qi: when Qi is vigorous, it shrinks; when Qi is weak, it enlarges; when Qi flows smoothly, it softens; when Qi is stagnant, it becomes tense.
The treatment must tonify the Zheng Qi (Upright Qi) and resolve Qi stagnation, after which the tumor will dissipate naturally. The prescription is as follows:
Chen Xiang (Aquilaria Lignum) 1 liang, Mu Xiang (Aucklandiae Radix) 2 liang, Bai Shao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) 4 liang, Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) 8 liang, Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) 2 liang, Huang Qi (Astragali Radix) 8 liang, Zhi Ke (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus) 1 liang, Bing Lang (Arecae Semen) 1 liang, Fu Ling (Poria) 4 liang, Xiang Fu (Cyperici Rhizoma) 2 liang, Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata) 5 qian, Tian Hua Fen (Trichosanthis Radix) 4 liang.
Each herb is ground into a fine powder, mixed with honey to form pills. Take 3 qian daily. One course of treatment will completely eliminate the tumor.
Ding Chuang (Carbuncle/Furuncle) often occurs in individuals consuming rich and sweet foods, caused by excessive nutrition leading to the outward emission of Fire Toxin. Although there are various names and locations, they can be categorized into five types based on the Zang Organs: Heart, Lung, Liver, Spleen, and Kidney. Specifically, red ones are Xin Ding (Heart Carbuncle), white ones are Fei Ding (Lung Carbuncle), blue-purple ones are Gan Ding (Liver Carbuncle), yellow ones are Pi Ding (Spleen Carbuncle), and black ones are Shen Ding (Kidney Carbuncle). In the early stage, use:
Zi Hua Di Ding (Viola Herba) 1 liang, Gan Ju Hua (Chrysanthemi Flos) 1 liang.
Decoct in water and take orally. Six doses will result in recovery. For external use:
Si Gua Ye (Luffae Folium) 10 leaves, Ming Fan (Alumen) and Xiong Huang (Realgar, powdered) each 2 qian.
Mash Si Gua Ye thoroughly to extract the juice, mix with the two powdered herbs, and apply to the Ding Chuang using a bird feather. Keep moist as needed; it will subside in a few days. Alternatively, use:
Bai Ju Hua Ye Lian Gen (White Chrysanthemum Leaves with Roots).
Extract one cup of juice, mix with boiling wine, and drink. Severe cases require larger doses. Apply the dregs to the affected area, but do not cover the head/root of the lesion. Cover with a blanket to induce sweating, allowing the toxin to dissipate naturally. If fresh flowers are unavailable, substitute with 4 liang of Gan Bai Ju Hua (Sweet White Chrysanthemum Flower); insufficient dosage will be ineffective.
Drinking a large bowl of Zhen Ma You (Pure Sesame Oil) stops [the symptom/toxin], or Cai Zi You (Rapeseed Oil) is also effective.
The cause is eating pig meat; sufferers are often unaware. It is suitable to use:
Ba Jiao Gen (Musa Basjoo Root).
Extract the juice and ingest it to resolve the toxicity immediately.
Chan Yi (Cicada Slough) and Jiang Can (Bombyx Batryticatus)
Mix equal parts into a powder, blend with vinegar, and apply around the periphery. Wait for the root to emerge, remove it, and reapply until healed.
