To treat tongue swelling, hanging down by more than a chi (approx. 33 cm), and in cases of Shanghan (Cold Damage) where heat-toxin attacks the Heart, causing the tongue to protrude several cun (approx. 10+ cm).
Use Pian Nao (Bingpian, Borneolum Syntheticum), place it in pieces on the tongue, repeat three or four times until recovery.
Another prescription:
Take thirty to forty seeds of Ricini Semen (Castor Bean), grind them finely in a mortar, extract the oil, and apply it to two sheets of paper. Burn one sheet over charcoal fire and use the smoke to fumigate the tongue. If symptoms do not recede, burn another sheet until the condition subsides. If not fully cured, repeat the application until healed. This method can also be used for treating a protruding bovine tongue. Another method involves rolling yellow-dyed paper, crushing castor beans, burning them to produce smoke, and using the smoke for fumigation, which causes the tongue to retract completely.
To treat conditions after Shanghan (Cold Damage) where control is lost, and the tongue protrudes and cannot be retracted.
Use one seed of Crotonis Fructus (Croton Seed), remove the oil to obtain the residual cake (Ba Dou Shuang), roll it into a paper wick, insert it into the nose, and the tongue will naturally retract.
