Whenever a ding (a type of acute suppurative infection) arises on the lips or mouth, examine the popliteal fossa (the bend behind the knee). If purple veins are visible, puncture them with a silver needle to release blood; the condition will be cured immediately.
In another case, a patient had a ding on the lips and mouth that swelled to the size of a dou (a large measure), and all medicines failed. A physician later diagnosed this as "Seven Stars Chasing the Moon" and applied crushed Ascaris lumbricoides (roundworms) topically. Within moments, yellow fluid drained from the wound, the patient's mental clarity returned, and full recovery occurred the next day.
If Ascaris lumbricoides is unavailable, use five-grain insects (Wuguchong, 5 qian, dried on a tile and ground into powder), Alum (Baifan), and Chan Su (Toad Venom, each 3 fen). Mix evenly with water and apply to the ding. After a short while, the ding will rupture, draining toxic fluids, leading to recovery.
Alternatively, applying blood from a rooster's comb yields miraculous effects. Applying fresh clam meat also brings immediate relief.
Another method involves using a dark-colored grass carp: remove scales, take the skin, slice it, and apply it to the lesion. Replace the patch when it dries. After dozens of applications, the lesion ruptures and heals.
Additionally, applying the liver of one large toad (Xia Ma) results in immediate resolution. (This also treats facial dings and duikou ding [carbuncles at the back of the neck]).
Grind seven house flies (Fan Ying) with one to two li of Borneol (Bingpian) until paste-like, and apply. This prevents the toxin from spreading internally (zouhuang).
Mash rotten yellow chicken manure with lychee flesh and apply; healing occurs immediately.
Alternatively, use two or three green snails (Qingluo, also known as Guiluosi) found in flower pots. Take coarse straw paper containing rice husks (select an area equivalent to 20-30 grains), remove the husks, grind the rice fine, mix with rock sugar, and apply to the ding. Recovery follows after several applications.
This type of ding is prone to zouhuang (toxin spreading inward). Treat by puncturing the red thread with a needle and plucking one red hair from the scalp. Grind fine the ash from broken wooden rafters found in old cesspits, mix with maltose syrup, and apply to the ding, leaving the head exposed. The toxin is drawn out, and the patient is safe. Without urgent treatment, death occurs within two days.
The progression is rapid: if located on the foot, the red thread extends to the umbilicus; if on the hand, it extends to the heart region; if on the lips or face, extension implies incurability.
For lesions on hands or feet, tightly bind hair around the red thread, one or two cun away from the thread itself. Puncture the tip of the thread or cauterize it with moxa fire. The red thread will recede, and the patient will heal. Repeat cauterization until the thread dissipates. The effect is miraculous.
Additionally, grinding one cockroach (Zhanglang) with green sugar and applying it yields effective results.
