Cover with blankets to induce sweating. If sweat is delayed, use green onion soup to induce more. Sweat will follow, patient feels refreshed, disease vanishes. For unformed sores, they dissipate; for formed ones, they swell and suppurate. If no exterior syndrome, dissolve in hot wine. This formula was originally in the Wind Paralysis section; I use it to disperse sore toxins effectively, hence recorded here. Why is it effective for swelling? Sores arise from disharmony of Ying and Wei, qi and blood stagnation. This formula disperses, regulates qi, searches for wind, unblocks meridians. "What is knotted should be opened." Toxin accumulates over time; only sweet-warm and acrid-hot dispersal via sweat can resolve it. "Dispersal does not avoid heat," fitting this formula. Avoid wind after taking, eat congee, avoid cold and sexual activity. Pregnant women should not take.

Commentary: Back sores of yin nature result from prior zang-fu damage, preventing internal toxin from venting outward. Old methods include chicken comb blood drops, vinegar-boiled mugwort paste, pig brain hot compress, divine lamp burning. These are for yin abscesses. I used them often but saw little effect. Yin abscesses failing to rise are like rotten tree roots; forcing branches/leaves yields no growth. I use reason-based medication, saving 3-4 in 10. First, loosen soil (Cangzhu, Houpo, Fuling, Chenpi); second, unblock veins (Chuanxiong, Danggui, Zicao, Honghua); third, aid root (Renshen, Huangqi, Gouqi, Yuyu); fourth, return yang (Fuzi, Muxiang, Gancao, Duohuo). If a thread of life remains in the root, survival is possible. Signs of efficacy: warm limbs, sore heats up, swelling begins, pain returns, dark color becomes alive, hardness rots, stomach qi returns. Must respond within three doses for auspiciousness. External methods assist returning yang. This is the general method for yin abscesses.
