Scallion white and granulated sugar in equal parts are ground into a paste and applied to the affected area, stopping pain immediately.

The smooth outer skin of longan seeds is peeled off, using only the kernels, which are pounded and ground into an extremely fine powder. This powder is packed and applied to the wound for healing.

Seven Gardenia fruits (Gardeniae Fructus) and seven Apricot kernels (Armeniacae Semen Amarum) are ground together into a powder. One egg white is added, along with an appropriate amount of distilled liquor and wheat flour, mixed into a thick paste. Apply to the affected area; after one night, removing the dressing reveals a bluish-green color, indicating recovery.

For all metal injuries and fractures, cold water must not be consumed. Anger, loud shouting, and physical exertion should also be avoided.

For stab or cut wounds that have not penetrated the peritoneum/chest wall, use one piece each of Frankincense (Boswelliae Resina) and Myrrh (Commiphorae Resina), sized like a soap bean pod. Grind them thoroughly, then decoct with half a cup of urine and half a cup of good wine. Administer orally, then apply Huarui Shi San (Flower Stamen Stone Powder) to the wound to stop bleeding immediately. Alternatively, grinding Cuttlebone (Sepiae Endoconcha) into powder and applying it is also effective.

This formula treats falls, blows, and injuries, whether caused by metal blades or other objects, including severe cases with bone fractures, tendon ruptures, and uncontrollable bleeding. It is the premier formula for metal injuries. The ancient dosage was seven li, while the modern dosage is three fen. It is convenient for injured persons to carry and use as needed.
Cinnabar (Zhusha, purified by water flotation, 1 qian 2 fen), Real Musk (Shexiang, 1 fen 2 li), Borneol (Bingpian, 1 fen 2 li), Frankincense (Ruxiang, de-oiled, 1 fen).
Select an auspicious day to grind these ingredients into a fine powder. The noon hour on the Dragon Boat Festival is particularly suitable. Store in a porcelain jar sealed with yellow wax. Take seven pills per dose, washed down with distilled liquor or yellow wine. Mix approximately 7-8 fen of the powder with liquid to apply to the wound for excellent results; increase the amount for severe injuries or heavy bleeding. For severe blade wounds or severed throats, urgently wrap with chicken skin and sprinkle dry powder directly on the wound to stop pain and bleeding immediately. (Also treats all kinds of unnamed swellings and sores using the same method, adjusting the amount according to the size of the sore for miraculous effects. Pregnant women may apply externally but must not ingest internally.)

After applying medicine to metal injuries, exposure to wind and dampness must be avoided, and washing with water is prohibited. If changing the dressing, wash the area with a strong decoction while avoiding wind before reapplying medication.

In emergencies, heat scallion whites in a hot pan and apply them all over the wound. The patient will likely groan; replace the scallions and reapply until the patient regains consciousness and stabilizes. Then, apply Sanqi (Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma) powder mixed with saliva to the wound for immediate healing.
