This condition presents with swelling and pain of the gums; rinsing the mouth with water causes continuous bleeding from all teeth, hence it is named "Ya Xie" (Tooth Leakage). The treatment principle focuses on stopping bleeding. First, take a handful of Caelestis Folium (Cai Bai Ye, 侧柏叶), crush it to extract its natural juice, and hold it in the mouth. Replace the juice when it becomes warm. After repeating this several times, apply the following powder:

Qing Dai (Indigo Naturalis, 3 qian) Yan Shi (Halitum, 3 qian) Bei Zi (Galla Chinensis, 3 qian) Ku Fan (Alumen Exsiccatum, 1 qian) Bai Cao Shuang (Soot from Burning Straw, 1.5 qian) Zhen Jing Mo (True Beijing Ink Stick, 1 qian) Hong He Zi Hui (Ash of Red Brown Seed, 3 qian)

Mix these ingredients thoroughly. After rinsing the mouth clean with rice washing water (Mi Gan Shui), apply this powder to the gums. Internally administer Zhong Jiu Wan (Central Nine Pills) to resolve heat toxicity.

This condition presents with severe swelling and pain in the throat, unbearable in intensity, erupting suddenly like thunder, constituting an acute emergency.

This sore appears on the chest and bilateral hypochondriac regions. Initially, it causes pain, appearing clustered like millet grains, with redness and swelling of the skin and flesh, making scratching intolerable. There are four simple prescriptions that may cure it.

Prescription Three: Crush Tian Luo (Apple Snail) and apply as a poultice.
