Modification Method of Xianfang Huoming Yin (Immortal Efficacy Decoction for Reviving the Dying)
Treats sores such as carbuncles, furuncles, back eruptions, and brain abscesses. Whether the sore is in the early stage (not yet suppurated) or advanced stage (suppurated), this formula ensures success without fail.
*Schizoporeia spinosa* (Three large slices, stir-fried with *Concha Meretrix* until cooked, discard the shell powder) *Tiarium chinense* root *Glycyrrhiza uralensis* node *Boswellia carterii* resin *Paeonia lactiflora* (red) *Fritillaria cirrhosa* (each 1 qian) *Gleditsia sinensis* spine (stir-fried to remove sharp tips) *Commiphora myrrha* (each 5 fen) *Angelica sinensis* tail (washed with wine) *Citrus reticulata* peel (each 1.5 qian) *Saposhnikovia divaricata* (7 fen) *Lonicera japonica* (3 qian) *Angelica dahurica* (1 qian).

If the sore is located on the upper body, take after meals; if on the lower body, take before meals. Those who can drink alcohol should consume an additional four to five cups after taking the medicine. Avoid sour foods, alcohol, food touched by iron, bean sprouts, vermicelli, and greasy foods. After taking the medicine, lie on one side. Mild sweating and warmth will reduce pain by more than half. This formula has miraculous effects, reviving the dying. Details are not fully listed here.

Modification Method of Tuoli Rongwei Tang (Supporting Interior and Nuturing Wei Decoction)
Treats various sores where pathogenic evil toxins reside in the meridians. This formula is suitable for modification. How to know the evil is in the meridian? Externally, there is no obvious redness, swelling, heat, and pain; internally, there is no obstruction in urination or defecation. Thus, we know the evil is in the meridian. One must distinguish the location to determine which meridian is affected, then add the corresponding channel-guiding herb for miraculous effect.
