Formula for Treating All Kinds of Malignant Sores, Scabies, Tinea, Carbuncles, and Fistulas.
Artemisiae Argyi Folium (Rugu), Agrimoniae Herba (Yelangya), Semen Celosiae (Qingxiang), Sanguisorbae Radix (Diyu), Veratri Radix et Rhizoma (Lilu), Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Danggui), Polygoni Avicularis Herba (Jixuecao), Rheum Palmatum Radix et Rhizoma (Yangtigen) [2 liang each], Cnidii Fructus (Shechuangzi), Ampelopsis Radix (Bailian) [6 fen each], Euphorbiae Humifusae Herba (Loulu) [2 fen].
The above eleven medicinal materials are crushed, soaked in vinegar (Ku Jiu) overnight. At dawn, they are decocted with four sheng of rendered pork fat (Cheng Jian Zhu Gao). The mixture is boiled through three cycles of rising and falling. Once the ointment is formed, filter out the dregs and add the following subsequent medicines:
Realgar (Xionghuang), Orpiment (Cihuang), Sulfur (Liuhuang), Alum (Fanshi), Lead White (Hufen), Pine Resin (Songzhi) [2 liang each], Mercury (Shuiyin) [3 liang].
The above seven medicinal materials are finely ground. Observe until the mercury is completely dispersed, then pour into the previous ointment. Stir hundreds of times with ten pairs of chopsticks until uniform. Store tightly in a porcelain vessel to prevent leakage. When preparing the ointment, use low heat; high heat renders it ineffective. Apply externally, avoiding eyes and genitals. First, grind Realgar etc. finely. When the ointment cools slightly, mix well and apply.
Formula for Treating Scabies, Carbuncles, and Various Sores:
Mercury (Shuiyin), Lead White (Hufen) [6 liang each], Coptidis Rhizoma (Huanglian), Phellodendri Cortex (Huangbai) [8 fen each], Turmeric (Jianghuang) [10 fen], Alum (Fanshi), Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata (Fuzi), Cnidii Fructus (Shechuangzi), Sophorae Flavescentis Radix (Kushen) [3 fen each].
The above nine medicinal materials: Mercury and Lead White are separately ground into a paste. The rest are powdered. Mix with rendered pork fat, grind until uniform, and apply externally. (*Qianjin Yifang* omits Turmeric.)
Formula for Chronic Scabies and Tinea:
Cinnabar (Dansha), Realgar (Xionghuang), Orpiment (Cihuang - omitted in Liu Juanzi's formula), Human Hair (Luannfa, washed clean), Pine Resin (Songzhi), White Honey (Baimi) [1 liang each], Artemisiae Argyi Folium (Rugu) [3 liang], Pork Fat (Zhuzhi) [2 jin].
The above nine medicinal materials: First decoct the hair until completely dissolved. Add Pine Resin and White Honey. Boil through three cycles of rising and falling. Filter out dregs. Add all powdered medicines and boil once more. Apply externally. (*Qianjin Yifang* uses wax instead of honey.)
Another Formula: Mercury (Shuiyin), Alum (Fanshi, alternatively Stone Gall), Coptidis Rhizoma (Huanglian, alternatively Realgar), Cnidii Fructus (Shechuangzi) [1 liang each].
The above four medicinal materials are powdered. Mix with 7 he of pork fat and stir until no mercury beads are visible. Apply externally. (Another variant adds Veratri Radix et Rhizoma [1 liang]; another states that Artemisiae Argyi Folium treats various sores, scabies, and tinea that do not heal for a long time:)
Formula for Chronic Sores, Scabies, and Tinea Not Healing:
Mercury (Shuiyin) [1 jin], Rendered Pork Fat from the Twelfth Lunar Month (Layue Zhuzhi) [5 sheng].
The above two medicinal materials: Build a stove inside an iron vessel. Burn horse dung fire for seven days and nights continuously without stopping. Remove and cool to obtain the ointment. The mercury can be removed and used separately. Apply this ointment to all sores; healing should be immediate. (*Qianjin Yifang* uses Mercury Powder mixed with pork fat for application.)
Another Formula: Urine of Steer (Teniu Niao), Rheum Palmatum Radix et Rhizoma (Yangtigen) [5 sheng each].
The above two medicinal materials: Soak Rheum Palmatum Radix et Rhizoma in steer urine overnight. Sun-dry, then return to urine. Repeat until exhausted. Grind into powder and apply to various sores. (*Qianjin Yifang* notes: mixing with pork fat makes it more effective.)
Another Formula: Extract fresh Aconitum Carmichaelii Radix (Sheng Wutou) [10 pieces]. Slice and decoct for juice. Wash the affected area for cure.
Discussion: For all kinds of sores and tinea, at the initial stage when pain or itching begins, use various single-herb remedies. Some chew salt and apply; some apply grain juice; some apply garlic paste. (*Qianjin Yifang* uses garlic butter). Some apply Turmeric; some apply carp brain mixed with other substances; some apply juice from Prunus salicina fruits. If these remedies fail, then use the major formulas mentioned above.
Formula for Fine Tinea:
Cnidii Fructus (Shechuangzi), White Salt (Baiyan, alternatively Kaolin/Bai'e), Rheum Palmatum Radix et Rhizoma (Yangtigen) [1 sheng each], Puerariae Lobatae Radix Rubra (Chige Gen), Sophorae Flavescentis Radix (Kushen), Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma (Changpu) [0.5 jin each], Coptidis Rhizoma (Huanglian), Mastrantis Herb (Mangcao).
The above eight medicinal materials are cut into small pieces. Decoct with 7 sheng of water to obtain 3 sheng. Adjust temperature for washing the body. Ideally, the duration should match the time it takes to steam one dan of rice. After clarification, use while slightly warm. Continue for three days.
Another Formula: Grind Rheum Palmatum Radix et Rhizoma on a stone with vinegar. Before application, scrape the sore surface. Dry with heat, then apply 4-5 times. (*Qianjin Yifang* says: Pound Rheum Palmatum Radix et Rhizoma, place in porcelain, mix with white honey. Before use, scrape the sore to cause injury, then apply. Wait as long as steaming one dan of rice, wipe off, then reapply mixed with aged strong vinegar. If the sore is not scraped, it will not heal.)
Another Formula: Use 5 sheng of Rheum Palmatum Radix et Rhizoma. Decoct with ash lye from mulch wood for 4-5 boils, then wash. It is best to harvest Rheum Palmatum Radix et Rhizoma before sunrise in any formula using it.
Another Formula: Take 5 jin of Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma powder. Soak in 5 sheng of wine in a cauldron and steam to extract flavor. Abstain from alcohol for one day before taking. Take 1 sheng or 0.5 sheng per dose.
Another Formula: Burn the center of Vitex Negundo Seeds (Jingzi). Collect the juice flowing from both ends in a container. Scrape the sore to cause injury and apply the juice.
Formula for Tinea:
Take hot pancake and apply as a compress. Frequency is unlimited, but once daily is good. Also treats Impetigo (Jinyinchuang).
Another Formula: Clean the sore. Mix soybean paste (Jiangban) and sparrow feces (Que Shi) and apply. Stop when healed. (*Qianjin Yifang* says: Mix soybean paste with urine for application.)
Another Formula: Mix Mercury (Shuiyin) and Chuan Fritillaria Bulb (Wuyi) with butter and apply.
Another Formula: At noon, pound fresh peach leaves for juice and apply.
Another Formula: Pound Thistle (Stachys) for juice. Apply externally and ingest internally.

Formula for Bromhidrosis (Yi):
Grind Cuttlebone (Wuzeigu) with three-year-aged vinegar. First rub the skin with cloth until red, then apply.
