If not cured, apply two hundred moxa cones to the Qichong (Stomach 30) acupoint, located in the middle of the bone below the throat on the chest, also known as Qitang.

(All Types of Erysipelas/Dan Du) (Thirty-eight Categories)

*Zhubing Yuanhou Lun* (Source Book of All Diseases and Symptoms) - Pediatric Dan Syndrome: Wind-heat toxic pathogens lodge in the couli (interstices). Heat-toxin clashes with blood and qi, steaming outward. The skin becomes hot and red, resembling the color of cinnabar, hence named "Dan". If prolonged without cure, muscles rot and are damaged. (*Taiping Shenghui Fang* states: If prolonged without cure, muscles necrose; if toxic pathogens enter the abdomen, it causes death.)

Tuhui Dan (Earth Snake Dan): Starts in both hands' fingers, presenting as red threads that meander down to the joints, causing death. (For Dan types without listed formulas below, consult the "All Dan" category.)

Feihuo Dan (Flying Fire Dan): Attaches to both arms, back, and knees.

Liuhuodan (Retaining Fire Dan): Forms sores within one day and night, like a jujube, bright red.

Lanzhu Hou (Blue Injection Syndrome): Children suffer from wind-cold invading blood vessels. Blood congeals due to cold, forming nodules. Skin and flesh appear blue, persisting for a long time, known in the world as Lanzhu.

*Luxin Jing* (Cranial Fontanelle Classic): Yellow Emperor asked Qibo: Why do infants and young children often suffer from severe diseases and Dan Du? How were these two distinguished previously? Qibo replied: Yang dissociation after ten years of age constitutes "Du" (Toxin); under ten years constitutes "Dan". Dan and Du are essentially the same, distinguished only by size/severity. Treatment using correct formulas ensures no error. Someone asked: If both men and women suffer from Dan Du toxins entering the body, how many unjust deaths occur? This is largely due to believing evil teachers and being terrified. Do not let ignorant people handle this; please follow the formulas.
