I. Whenever there is an epidemic of variola (smallpox) among neighbors, preventive measures can be taken. One should regulate diet, maintain regular daily routines, adjust clothing according to the weather, and prepare medicinal decoctions in advance. This also adheres to proper restraint and follows the principles of health preservation.
Method of Rubbing with Sesame Oil
Every night before going to bed, use the middle, index, and ring fingers to dip into sesame oil and rub the child's head, forehead, neck, waist, back, both wrists, and both ankles. Then let the child sleep. This can alleviate the severity of the condition. This method also embodies the principle of promoting free flow and ascending/dispersing stagnation.
San Dou Tang (Three Bean Decoction)
Use one cup each of large black beans, adzuki beans, and mung beans, along with one tael of licorice root (Gancao), finely cut. Use these four ingredients daily, simmer them in a clay pot until soft and cooked. Feed the beans and the soup to the child. Black beans resolve toxicity in the Kidney channel and control Ministerial Fire; adzuki beans resolve toxicity in the Heart channel and control Sovereign Fire; mung beans resolve toxicity in the Yangming channel and control Stomach Fire. The use of beans also utilizes the principle of "treating shape with shape" and "following similarity." It is simple and convenient for neighbors, allowing early treatment for children, which is truly ingenious.
Yong Bu Chu Dou Er Wu San (Two-Five Powder for Permanent Immunity from Smallpox) Transmitted by Jia Lanfeng.
Take seven eggs laid by a rooster-hen. Select one egg, make a small hole at one end, and empty the white and yolk completely. Fill it with high-quality cinnabar (Zhusha) weighing four qian nine fen. Seal the hole with paper.
Incubate this egg under a hen to hatch a chick, allowing the cinnabar to absorb the essence of the sun and moon for seven days and nights respectively. Collect and store for use. Take one young loofah gourd that has just begun to form. Wait until it matures and dries out, burn it to ash while preserving its medicinal properties, and grind into fine powder. For each dose, take five fen of the mixed fine powder of cinnabar and loofah ash, administered with honey water. After taking it three times, one will never contract smallpox. This is especially recommended when neighbors' children have smallpox.
You Yin Zi (Sesame Oil Drink)
If an epidemic of smallpox occurs and neighbors nearby are affected, one can take this formula in advance for prevention.
Take one jin of pure sesame oil, boil it until cooked. Give it to the child to drink completely every day. One will never contract smallpox.
Regarding the vein patterns behind the ear: those resembling water-red are superior; apricot-red are secondary; bright red indicates the need to clear heat/fire; purple-black or cyan colors indicate untreatable conditions. Furthermore, the veins should be uniform, straight, extending upwards to the tip of the ear without branching, which is considered auspicious. If there are branches and entanglements, even if pale red, it is an ominous sign. If the pattern extends beyond the hairline, it is mostly incurable.
