Commentary states: Rushi (Mineral drugs, mostly silicates) originally possess a hot and fierce nature. If users fail to adjust properly or maintain irregular eating habits, heat toxins may erupt without a specific outlet, leading to acute carbuncles, back sores (Fabei), intestinal abscesses, or the discharge of pasty urine. These conditions are difficult to treat comprehensively. Occasionally, even those who have never taken Rushi may experience similar ulceration and pus discharge due to long-term accumulation of heat toxins in the Zang-Fu organs. Alternatively, this may stem from inheriting the mineral qi during fetal development. The treatment method should first employ purgative and draining agents to neutralize the toxin, followed by external application therapies.

At the critical stage, the sore may be 3 cun wide and 1 cun high, with dozens of holes discharging pus upon pressure. Upon initial appearance, urgently take pure earth, mix with water to make mud, form into a cake (thickness 2 fen, width 1.5 cun). Place moxa cones on the mud cake and moxa 100 times. Change the cake when dry. Simultaneously administer Wuxiang Liaoqiao Tang (Five-Aroma Forsythia Decoction) and Tiejiang (Iron Slurry). If the back sore has not yet formed large pus, shoot it with cold water arrows or apply cold stones. This will heal it.
