论曰∶治金疮者,无大小冬夏。及始初伤血出。便以右灰浓敷裹之,即止痛,又速愈,
若疮甚深,未宜速合者。纳少滑石,令疮不时合也。凡金疮出血,其人必渴,当忍之,啖燥
食并肥腻之物以止渴,慎勿咸食,若多饮粥及浆,犯即血动溢出杀人。又忌嗔怒、大言笑、
思想、阴阳行动、作劳、多食酸咸,饮酒热羹、 辈,疮瘥后犹尔,出百日半年乃可复常也。
治金疮大散方∶
五月五日平旦,使四人出四方,各于五里内采一方草木茎叶,每种各半把,勿令漏脱一
事。日正午时细切,碓捣并锻石极烂熟,一石草断一斗锻石,先凿大实中桑树令可受药,取
药纳孔中,实筑令坚,仍以桑树皮蔽之,以麻捣锻石极密泥之,令不泄气。又以桑皮缠之使
牢,至九月九日午时取出,阴干,百日药成捣之,日曝令干,更捣,绢筛贮之。凡一切金疮
伤折出血,登时以药封裹治使牢,勿令动转,不过十日即瘥,不肿不脓,不畏风。若伤后数
日始得药,须暖水洗令血出,然后敷之,此药大验。平生无事宜多合,以备仓卒,金疮之要
无出于此,虽突厥质雄黄末未能及之。(《肘后方》云∶用百草心,五月五日作,七月七日
出。)
又方 烧干梅为炭,捣末,敷之一宿即瘥,亦治打伤。

It is stated: To treat Jin Chuang (metal-induced traumatic wounds), regardless of size or season. When the injury first occurs and bleeding starts, immediately apply a thick paste of You Hui (Right Ash) to dress and wrap the wound; this will stop pain and accelerate healing. If the wound is very deep and not suitable for rapid closure, add a small amount of Huashi (Talcum Powder) to prevent premature healing. In all cases of Jin Chuang with bleeding, the patient must feel thirsty; one should endure this thirst and consume dry foods along with fatty and greasy items to quench it. Strictly avoid salty foods. If one drinks too much porridge or sweet beverages, it may trigger blood dysregulation and hemorrhage, leading to death. Also, avoid anger, loud talking and laughing, excessive thinking, sexual activity, physical labor, and consuming too many sour or salty foods, alcohol, or hot soups. These restrictions apply even after the wound has healed; normal activities can only resume after one hundred days or half a year.
Formula for Da San Decoction for Treating Jin Chuang:
On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month at dawn, send four people in four directions to collect stems and leaves of herbs within five li in their respective directions. Take half a handful of each type, ensuring no herb is omitted. At noon, finely chop the herbs, pound them in a mortar, and grind them extremely fine together with Duan Shi (Calcined Iron Ore). The ratio is one shi of herbs to one dou of Duan Shi. First, hollow out a large hole in a solid mulberry tree capable of holding the medicine. Place the herbal mixture into the hole, pack it tightly, cover it with mulberry bark, and seal it densely with hemp-wrapped calcined ore to prevent gas leakage. Bind it securely with mulberry skin. Retrieve the mixture on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month at noon, dry it in the shade, and after one hundred days, the medicine is ready. Pound it, sun-dry it until dry, pound it again, sieve it through silk gauze, and store it. For any Jin Chuang involving fractures and bleeding, apply the medicine immediately to seal and dress the wound firmly, preventing movement. It will heal within ten days without swelling or suppuration, and the patient will not fear wind exposure. If the medicine is obtained several days after the injury, wash the wound with warm water to allow blood to drain before applying the dressing. This medicine is highly effective. Prepare ample quantities when idle for emergencies; there is no better method for treating Jin Chuang than this, surpassing even realgar powder from Turkic tributes. (The *Zhou Hou Bei Ji Fang* states: Use the hearts of a hundred herbs, prepared on the fifth day of the fifth month, and retrieved on the seventh day of the seventh month.)
Another prescription: Burn dried plums to charcoal, grind into powder, and apply to the wound; it heals overnight. It also treats contusions from blows.
Another prescription: Grind Cishi (Magnetite) into powder and apply to the wound; it stops pain and bleeding.
Another prescription: Apply juice from Sang Bai Pi (Mulberry Root Bark); wrapping with Sang Bai Pi or sealing with Duan Shi (Calcined Iron Ore) is also excellent.
Another prescription: Boil three jin of Ma Ye (Hemp Leaf) in three sheng of water until cooked thoroughly, take two sheng as a single dose.
Another prescription: Drink several sheng of Mazhi (Hemp Seed Juice). (The *Duan Ju Fang* states: Treats injuries from poisoned arrows.)
Another prescription: Take Fang Cun Bi (a traditional measure approx. 1 cubic inch) of Qiuyinshi (Earthworm Feces) with water, three times daily.
Another prescription: Mix Xing Ren (Apricot Seed) and Duan Shi (Calcined Iron Ore) into a fine powder, blend with Zhu Zhi (Pig Fat), and apply as a dressing. (Also highly effective for dog bites, horse kicks, and Jin Chuang.)
Prescription for Unstoppable Bleeding from Jin Chuang:
Boil Sang Gen (Mulberry Root) for ten boiling periods, drink one sheng to stop bleeding.
Another prescription: Crush Che Qian Cao (Plantain Herb) to extract juice and apply to the wound; bleeding ceases immediately. Using the whole root is also effective.
Another prescription: Seal the wound with Liu Xu (Willow Catkins).
Another prescription: Apply a spider web to the wound; bleeding stops immediately.
Another prescription: Drink five sheng of Ren Niao (Human Urine) to cure.
