Consume one to two bowls of yellow mud water. Alternatively, decoct Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma) and Gancao (Licorice Root) into a concentrated liquid for drinking. (This treats the ingestion of silver.)

Consume more water chestnuts (Eleocharis tuberosa) and walnuts (Juglans regia).

Decoct Sharen (Amomi Fructus Rotundus) in large quantities to make a concentrated juice for administration. (Also treats the ingestion of copper objects.)

Alternatively, peel half a bowl of charcoal skin, grind it into powder, and administer with three bowls of thick porridge. (Also treats the ingestion of iron nails.) (For other formulas, refer to the sections on Throat and Tongue Disorders and Pediatric Disorders.)

Ingesting iron bones or similar objects (where a sensation of heaviness and dragging is felt in the intestines): Consume more green vegetables and lard to facilitate natural expulsion.

Pour copious amounts of water into a duck's mouth. After a short while, hold the duck upside down to collect the saliva that flows out, and have the patient drink it to dissolve the obstruction. (Also treats obstructions caused by snail shells stuck in the throat; under no circumstances should the duck's life be harmed.)

Eat several egg whites. After a short while, when the pain subsides slightly, drink a cup of raw tea oil to induce vomiting, allowing centipedes wrapped in blood to be expelled. Subsequently, take Xionghuang (Realgar) mixed with water. Alternatively, grind ten fingernails in cold water and drink this mixture in large quantities; or decoct Camphora Leaf (Cinnamomi Camphora Folium) and drink it cold; or eat three raw eggs; or drink Di Jiang Shui (Earth Slurry Water).

Slowly consume five hundred grams of Yitang (Maltose). (Also treats the ingestion of bamboo or wood splinters.)

(When consuming sea clams, one must beware of this parasite. Its shell resembles that of the clam but can be identified by its lack of surface luster. Ingestion causes madness, restlessness, and a desire to jump into water, resembling possession by evil spirits.)

Drink white horse urine to dissolve the toxin.

Drink vinegar to resolve the toxicity.

Drink one cup of rice washing water from glutinous rice.

If sharp fragments of porcelain or tiles pierce the forehead or eyebrows, or if bleeding occurs from both arms amounting to one sheng (approx. 200ml), the condition will heal.

Apply Bai Fan (Alumen) to the affected area.

The condition resembles severe leprosy, with complete loss of eyebrows and hair, accompanied by a nightly sensation of sounds like earthworms moving within the body. Soak and wash frequently with salt decoction.

Lesions appear in patches resembling prickly heat. Wash Zhuma Ye (Boehmeriae Caulis et Folium) leaves with roots attached, crush them to extract juice, mix with Qingdai (Indigo Naturalis) or Lan Dian (Indigo Paste) (not too thick), and apply using a duck feather. (Zhuma juice must be freshly crushed for immediate use; overnight juice is unusable.)

This refers to the blood of the "Crane's Crown" (likely referring to a toxic plant secretion or venom), which adheres to trees and grass. Accidental contact by hands or feet causes immediate redness, swelling, and pain. Mash Qingsong Mao (Pinus massoniana needles) together with glutinous rice and apply as a poultice.

Apply mud from the bottom of a well. Alternatively, dip water into Mingfan (Alumen) powder and rub it on the skin, or grind fresh ginger on the ground and apply the juice.

Drink cold water or spray cold water on the face.

Chew Su Ye (Perilla Leaf) to cure.

Drink plenty of Sesame Oil to induce vomiting, or take half a bowl of juice extracted from Black Bean powder mixed with wine.
