胃脉络齿荣牙床,胃热则牙缝出血,犀角化毒丸主之。(出《局方》。)肾虚则牙齿动摇,胃虚则牙床溃
烂,急服救生丹,若齿龈黑,急灸关元五十壮。(牙齿动摇或有知其肾虚者,至牙床溃烂,谁不曰胃火上攻,
敢服救主丸并灸关元者鲜矣。)
风寒凝于发际,或冷水沐头,小儿头上生疖,麻油调百花散涂之。如脑痈初起,亦服救生汤。
寒热客于发腠,浸淫成疮,久之生虫,即于头上,灸五十壮自愈。看其初起者,即是头也。
小儿腿 间有疮,若以冷水洗之,寒气浸淫遂成大片,甚至不能步履。先以葱椒姜洗挹干,又以百花散糁
之,外以膏药贴之,出尽毒水,十日全愈。

Summerheat pathogen invades the Heart and transmits to the Small Intestine, resulting in hematochezia (blood in stool); Danggui Jianzhong Tang (Dang Gui Decoction for Building the Middle) is indicated.
The Stomach meridian connects with the teeth and nourishes the gingiva; stomach heat causes bleeding from the interdental spaces, which should be treated primarily with Xijiao Huadu Wan (Rhinoceros Horn Pill for Resolving Toxins). (This formula is cited from *Ju Fang* [Formulary of the Bureau].) Kidney deficiency leads to loose teeth; stomach deficiency leads to ulceration of the gingiva. In such cases, Lifesheng Dan (Life-Saving Pill) should be taken urgently. If the gums appear black, moxibustion should be applied immediately to Guanyuan (CV-4), fifty moxa cones. (While some may recognize tooth loosening as a sign of kidney deficiency, when gingival ulceration occurs, most attribute it to flaming fire of the stomach; few dare to take Lifesheng Dan or apply moxibustion to Guanyuan.)
Wind-cold condenses at the hairline, or cold water is used to wash the head, causing boils to form on the infant's head. These should be smeared with Baihua San (Hundred Flowers Powder) mixed with sesame oil. For early-stage brain abscesses (naoyong), Lifesheng Tang (Life-Saving Decoction) may also be administered.
Cold and heat pathogens lodge in the skin and interstices, gradually infiltrating to form sores. Over time, parasites may develop. Applying fifty moxa cones to the affected area will lead to spontaneous recovery. Observing the initial presentation confirms the location as the head.
If sores appear in the groin of an infant and are washed with cold water, cold qi infiltrates, forming large lesions, potentially rendering walking impossible. First, wash and dry the area with decoctions of scallion, pepper, and ginger. Then, dust the area with Baihua San (Hundred Flowers Powder) and apply external plasters. Once all toxic fluids are discharged, full recovery occurs within ten days.
