Discussion: In treating diseases, one should use methods analogous to the pathology. For instance, when treating bone splinters stuck in the throat, why would one use Lu E (Cormorant) to treat bone injuries or Li Hu (Wild Cat/Tiger) to treat fish bones? The following formulas use bamboo strips to treat various foreign bodies stuck in the throat:
Soak Lu Jin (Deer Tendon) until soft, twist it together to the size of a marble, tie it with a thread, hold one end, and swallow it down the throat. Push it to the site of the foreign body and gently pull back to extract it.
Another formula: Scrape a bamboo strip until smooth and clean, wrap it in cotton, insert it into the throat to reach the foreign body. Move it back and forth to extract the object.
Another formula: Use two liang of cotton, heat it with honey, and apply externally to the area where the foreign body is lodged. Heat a gourd and use it to warm the cotton on the skin. If the object is not expelled, boil another piece of cotton and replace it. Additionally, blow a small amount of Zao Jiao Xie (Gleditsia Sinensis Powder) into the nose to induce sneezing, which helps expel the object.
Another formula: Cook Xie Bai (Allium Macrostemon Bulb) until half-cooked, chew slightly. Tie a thread around the center of the Xie Bai, grasp the thread, and swallow the Xie Bai down to the site of the obstruction. Pull the thread to extract the object.
Formula for treating fish bones stuck in the throat:
Take Hu Gu Mo (Tiger Bone Powder) or Li Gu (Wild Cat Bone), administer one fang cun bi (a square inch measure) orally.
Another formula: Take Qu Mai (Herba Siegesbeckiae) powder, administer one fang cun bi orally.
Formula for treating fish bones stuck in the throat:
Take Lu E Shi (Cormorant Feces), administer one fang cun bi orally.
Another formula: Drink Ju Pi Tang (Citrus Peel Decoction).
Another formula: Drink Sha Tang Shui (Sugar Water).
Another formula: Take Yun Hui (Ash from Fish Nets), administer one fang cun bi orally. (*Bi Xiao Fang* states: Place a fish net over the head, and the object will drop out immediately).
Formula for bone splinters stuck in the throat when conventional treatments fail:
Take Yi Tang (Maltose), form pills the size of a chicken egg yolk, and swallow. If it does not pass, continue swallowing. Gradually increase the size of the pills, up to ten pills.
Another formula: Burn the feces of tigers and wild wolves and consume them.
Another formula: Swallow Zhu Gao (Pork Fat) the size of a chicken egg. If ineffective, swallow more.
Formula for hair swallowed with food that cannot be swallowed and wraps around the throat:
Take Luan Fa (Scattered Hair), burn it to ash, and take one fang cun bi with wine.
Formula for swallowing coins:
Take Ai Hao (Artemisia Annua Herba), five liang. Boil with five sheng of water to obtain one sheng of decoction. Take all at once; the coin will pass.
Another formula: Consume two sheng of Mi (Honey); the coin will be expelled.
Another formula: Grind Huo Tan (Charcoal) into powder, take one fang cun bi with wine or water.
Formula for swallowing gold or silver hairpins/rings:
Consume two jin of Bai Tang (White Sugar) gradually in one meal. Consuming more is also beneficial.
Formula for accidentally swallowing rings:
Burn Er Mao (Goose Feathers), fourteen feathers, grind into powder, and consume. E Yu (Goose Feathers) can also be used.
Formula for accidentally swallowing hairpins:
Wither Jiu Cai (Chinese Chives) by sun-drying, steam until cooked without cutting. Eat one bundle to expel the object. Alternatively, use raw Mai Ye Jin (Wheat Leaf Veins) processed similarly to chives. These work, but consuming larger quantities ensures self-digestion/expulsion.
Formula for accidentally swallowing copper or iron:
Heat Tong Nu Ya (Copper Crossbow Trigger) until red hot, immerse in wine, and drink. Recovery is immediate.
Formula for accidentally swallowing nails, needles, or arrowheads:
Eat large amounts of Zhu Zhi Fei Rou (Pork Fat) until full; the object will be naturally wrapped and expelled.
Formula for accidentally swallowing needles:
Take Xuan Zhen Ci Shi Mo (Magnetite Powder), take one fang cun bi with water to expel the needle. (*Gu Jin Lu Yan* states: If the needle is stuck in the throat, taking magnetite powder causes it to enter the stomach. If the magnetite is held in the mouth, it attracts the needle and pulls it out).
