This prescription was circulated in the Shangshu Tang (Department of State Affairs) herbal decoction office at the capital.
Take Chaenomelis Fructus (Papaya), remove the pulp and seeds, steam it together with Shi Hua San until cooked, then grind them together into a fine powder. If the mixture is too sticky or mushy, add more Shi Hua San until it can be formed into pills, sized like Sophora japonica seeds.
The Elder of Jinshan Temple recounted this prescription at a vegetarian banquet hosted by Zhang Xianxue at Ganlu Temple. He stated that he previously suffered from Hongxiangjiao (Hongxiangjiao, a term often referring to gout or rheumatic pain in the feet). He had received this prescription from a monk in Tiantai Mountain, steamed mugwort leaves and took them orally, which gradually alleviated his symptoms. Later, while residing at Jinshan Temple, he climbed mountains and waded through streams daily, causing his feet to become sore and heavy again. He obtained this prescription from fellow monks there, combined it with his previous regimen, and felt significantly lighter and healthier than before.

Gansui (Kansui Radix, Kansui root) (ground into fine powder, mixed with water and applied topically to the swollen area)
Decoct a single herb, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Licorice Root), in concentrated form and take orally; the swelling will immediately dissipate. These two herbs have contrary properties. They must be purchased by two different people and stored separately; they must never be mixed together. Han Yong, a local official named Pianzi from Qingliu, suffered from this condition. After one dose, seven or eight parts of the illness were eliminated; after a second dose, he was cured. He said he obtained this from a horse and cattle merchant. The physician's intent was precisely to utilize the principle of mutual antagonism and synergy. Thus, Gansui is applied externally, while Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Licorice Root) draws it inward. The efficacy is akin to a magnet attracting iron needles.
