Ruoye (Bamboo Leaf) is burned to ash. The juice is extracted by pouring water over it using a cloth, and the affected area is washed with this juice. Continuous washing will naturally yield results. Another method: Clean the roots of Chinese chive (Allium tuberosum). Wrap them externally with leaves of the citrus tree. Insert these into the nostrils; healing occurs overnight, with repeated efficacy. Another method: Take a small amount of Lemna minor (Qingping), grind it until paste-like. Add a small amount of Bingpian (Borneol) collected from the top of plum blossoms. Apply to the eye; symptoms gradually dissipate overnight. This treats Pterygium (fleshy growth climbing onto the cornea) with miraculous efficacy. Another method: In winter, collect clean winter snow. Grind large water chestnuts together with snow water into powder, then dry in the sun. Add a little Borneol, place it in a goose feather tube, and instill into the eyes for effective results.

Hongdan (Lead Monoxide) is mixed with white honey and applied to the Taiyang acupoint (Ex-HN5, Temple); pain relief is immediate. Another method: Wash the area with salt water decoction. Another method: Soak Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma) in human milk, steam it, and apply frequently for efficacy. Another method: Burn branches of Zingiber officinale (Ginger plant/Jingmu) to extract yellow juice and apply to the affected area. Another method: Mix Hibiscus mutabilis (Furong) powder with water and apply to the Taiyang acupoint. Another method: Mix Jiangzhi (Ginger Juice) with Feifan (Calcined Alum) and apply to the eyelids; pain stops immediately.

Another method: For astringent pain, apply Sanshui (Three Waters) to the eye socket and eyelids for efficacy. Another method: Powdered Morus alba (Sangye) leaf is rolled in paper and smoked; inhale the smoke through the nose for efficacy. Another method: Apply juice of water chestnut; efficacy is immediate. Another method: For chronic cases not healing, use Ruiren (Persicae Semen/Brazil Nut Kernel - *Note: Context implies Prunus persica seed or similar kernel used in ophthalmology, often translated as Peach Kernel but specifically selected white ones here*) (select white and clean ones, remove shell, grind finely, and remove oil completely; if oil is not removed, it is ineffective). Mix with white honey. Use a bone hairpin to instill into the inner canthus of the eye; redness recedes with excellent verification.

Tongbian (Child's Urine) is used to decoct Ganju (Chrysanthemi Flos). Wash the area frequently. Another method: For long-standing ailments not healing, where no nebula (corneal opacity) has formed yet, instill one drop of Shengjiangzhi (Fresh Ginger Juice) for immediate healing.

Remove the fat from the gallbladder of a castrated ram. Fill it thoroughly with good honey, mix well, and steam until dry. Then put it in a bottle, grind finely, and prepare as a paste for instilling into the eyes.

It is named "Yi Mo Gao" (One-Wipe Paste). Another method: Soar Bohe (Menthae Haplocalycis Herba) in ginger juice overnight, dry in the sun, and grind into powder.

Dip a brush in the medicinal juice and draw two pupils on the gauze. Then drip the juice. Parasites should emerge.
