夫瘿瘤者，皆因气血凝滞，结而成之。瘿则忧恚所生，多着于肩项，皮宽不急，捶捶而
垂是也。瘤则随气留住，初作梅李之状，皮嫩而光，渐如杯卵是也。瘿有五种，其肉色不变
者，谓之肉瘿；其筋脉现露者，谓之筋瘿；赤脉交络者，名血瘿；若随忧恼而消长者，名气
瘿；若坚硬而不可移者，名石瘿。瘤亦有六种，一曰骨瘤，二曰脂瘤，三曰肉瘤，四曰脓瘤
，五曰血瘤，六曰石瘤。瘿瘤二者虽无痛痒，最不可决破，恐脓血崩溃，渗漏无已，必致杀
。其间肉瘤不可攻疗。若夫脂瘤气瘿之类，则当用海藻、昆布软坚之药治之，如东垣散肿溃
坚汤，亦可多服，庶得消散矣。

Generally speaking, ying and liu (goiter and tumor) are all formed due to the stagnation of Qi and blood, leading to accumulation. Ying disease is mostly caused by worry and indignation, often occurring in the shoulder and neck area, with loose and non-tight skin that hangs down when beaten. Liu disease arises from the retention of Qi; initially resembling a plum or apricot, the skin is tender and shiny, gradually enlarging to the size of a cup or egg. There are five types of ying: those with unchanged flesh color are called Rou Ying (Flesh Goiter); those with exposed tendons and vessels are called Jin Ying (Tendon Goiter); those with intersecting red veins are called Xue Ying (Blood Goiter); those that fluctuate with emotional distress are called Qi Ying (Qi Goiter); and those that are hard and immobile are called Shi Ying (Stone Goiter). There are also six types of liu: Gu Liu (Bone Tumor), Zhi Liu (Fat Tumor), Rou Liu (Flesh Tumor), Nong Liu (Pus Tumor), Xue Liu (Blood Tumor), and Shi Liu (Stone Tumor). Although ying and liu are neither painful nor itchy, they must never be incised or ruptured, lest pus and blood collapse and leak endlessly, inevitably leading to death. Rou Liu cannot be treated with attacking methods. For conditions such as Zhi Liu and Qi Ying, herbs with the property of softening hardness and dissipating nodules, such as Haizao (Sargassum Herba) and Kunbu (Laminariae Thallus), should be used. Dongyuan's Sanzhong Kuijian Tang (Decoction for Dispersing Swelling and Hardness) can also be taken frequently to achieve resolution.

Take one large Nanxing Arisaematis Rhizoma, grind finely until thick and sticky, add five to seven drops of vinegar to make a paste. If fresh material is unavailable, use dried material ground to powder and mixed with vinegar. First, prick the affected area with a small needle to allow Qi penetration, then spread the paste on paper and apply it to the lesion according to its size.

Then, take equal parts of Daji Euphorbiae Pekinensis Radix, Yuanhua Genkwa Flos, and Gansui Kansui Radix, grind into fine powder, mix with rice vinegar, and use another brush to paint only the center, avoiding the area previously painted with Gancao paste. The next day, the tumor will shrink. Paint the shrinking rim with Gancao paste three more times. Continue using Daji, Yuanhua, and Gansui in the center as before, and it will naturally dry up and shrink.
