(Treating wind-pain, effective immediately regardless of duration)
Fresh ginger, scallion stalks, Chinese chives, and white radish (each 5 jin, juiced), rapeseed oil (0.5 jin, juiced). Decoct together to form a paste until it reaches the consistency of "beading when dropped in water". Add sesame oil, Hongdan (Red Lead Oxide), and calcined gypsum to consolidate the plaster. Adjust the amount of additives according to the volume of juice: more juice requires more additives, less juice requires fewer. Form into plasters for topical application to cure. (*Danfang Huibian*)
(Treating elderly or deficient individuals, and leukorrhea in women)
Suitable for cases accompanied by lower back pain and clear, odorless discharge, indicating deficiency-cold.

Grind all into fine powder. Mix with honey to form pills the size of a bullet. Dissolve one pill in fresh ginger juice to make a porridge-like paste. Apply to the palm, warm it, and massage the painful area of the lower back. Bind with a warm cloth; after a short while, it will feel hot as fire. Take one pill after each meal. (*Ge Kejiu Fang*)
(Treating pain in tendons and bones caused by wind-toxin invasion)
Castor bean kernel (inner flesh, ground, 1 liang), raw Chuanwutou (Raw Aconitum Carmichaelii Tuber, peeled, 5 qian), Ruxiang (Frankincense) (ground, 1.5 qian).

Roll tightly in Wujin paper, seal both ends, and tie securely with thread. When using, press the affected area with the hand and mark clearly with ink. Heat an acupuncture needle in fire, place two to three layers of red cloth over the painful spot, and perform acupuncture. (*Fangchao*)
