曲麦 治酒积；水蛭、虻虫治血积；木香、槟榔治气积；牵牛、甘遂治水积；雄黄、腻粉治
涎积；礞石、巴豆治食积，各从其类也。若用群队之药，分其势则难取效。许嗣宗所谓譬犹
猎不知兔，广络原野，冀一人获之，术亦疏矣。须是认得分明，是何积聚，然后增加用药。
不尔，反有所损，嗣宗自谓不着书，在临时变通也。

Generally, treating accumulations involves attacking them with substances the patient dislikes and enticing them with substances the patient likes, which facilitates healing. For example, using Naocha (Nao Sha) and Hydrargyrum (Shuiyin) for flesh accumulation; Shenqu Maiya (Medicated Leaven and Malt) for wine accumulation; Hirudo (Shuizhi) and Blepharipa (Mengchong) for blood accumulation; Aucklandiae Radix (Muxiang) and Arecae Semen (Binglang) for qi accumulation; Pharbitidis Semen (Qianniu) and Euphorbiae Humifusa Radix (Gansui) for water accumulation; Realgar (Xionghuang) and Calomelas (Nifen) for saliva/phlegm accumulation; Lapis Malachitae (Mengshi) and Crotonis Fructus (Badou) for food accumulation. Each is treated according to its specific nature. If a mixture of drugs is used, dispersing their potency makes it difficult to achieve efficacy. Xu Sizong stated: This is like hunting without knowing where the rabbit is, spreading a net over vast fields hoping to catch one; such methods are too crude. One must clearly identify the type of accumulation before adjusting the medication accordingly. Otherwise, harm may result. Xu Sizong claimed he did not write books, advocating for flexibility in clinical practice.
