Use pure yellow sulfur. Those mixed with other colors are unusable.
Indications: Aids digestion, dispels accumulations, stops bleeding, kills scabies mites, treats dysentery, and tonifies yang. It was once cherished by those practicing ingestion for longevity, but it is prone to causing poisoning and should not be trusted. In case of sulfur poisoning, drinking one bowl of fresh hot blood from a white sheep yields miraculous effects.
Sulfur and Mugwort Decoction (Su Ai Tang): Use 3 qian of Japanese sulfur, taken down with mugwort decoction. Treats severe cold and reversal due to yin-pattern cold damage, characterized by extreme cold, cold limbs, restlessness, abdominal pain, absence of pulse, and critical condition. After administration, if the patient falls asleep and sweats, the disease resolves.
Sulfur Unique Powder (Su Huang Bu Er San): 1 qian of sulfur, 1 fen of indigo flower, ground into powder, mixed with one cup of cool water and ingested. Treats syphilis manifesting in the throat, causing ulceration, pain, and difficulty swallowing even liquids.
Raw sulfur is used according to the specific syndrome.
Indications: Dries dampness, resolves phlegm, quenches thirst, stops bleeding, and alleviates pain. Its nature is extremely astringent; it is strictly contraindicated in cases of excess damp-heat, significant accumulation of stagnation, and yin deficiency presenting with sore throat or cold abdominal pain.
Phlegm-Resolving Pill (Hua Tan Wan): 1 liang of alum, 5 qian of fine tea, ground into powder, formed into pills the size of mulberry seeds using honey. Children take 10 pills, adults take 50 pills, taken down with tea. Long-term use causes phlegm to be expelled naturally via stool, eliminating the root cause.
Another prescription: 1 liang of alum, 5 qian of toothed soap pod, ground into powder. Take 1 qian per dose, mixed with warm water. Treats wind-stroke phlegm-closure, characterized by flaccidity of the four limbs and qi obstruction/blockage.
Unblocking Orifice Powder (Tong Guan San): Take 3 qian of alum, melt it in an iron pot, add three split croton seeds, boil until dry, remove the croton seeds, and grind the remaining alum for use. For severe cases, mix with vinegar and apply topically. Treats throat carbuncles and tonsillitis (Ru E).
Another prescription: Equal parts of alum and salt flowers, applied to the mouth. Treats lockjaw, allowing saliva to flow freely.
Another prescription: Fill alum powder into pig gallbladders and air-dry them in the shade. Grind into powder. Blow 1 qian into the throat each time to induce salivation. Treats throat swelling and pain.
Another prescription: 2 liang of alum and 2 liang of sulfur, calcined in a pot, add 1 fen of cinnabar, grind into powder, form into pills the size of soybeans using wheat paste. Take 15 pills down with ginger decoction. Treats regurgitation and vomiting.
Yuhua Dan: Alum ground into powder, formed into pills the size of mulberry seeds using vinegar paste. Dosage varies by patient's size, taken down with papaya decoction. Treats diarrhea caused by latent summer-heat.

Another prescription: Equal parts of alum and licorice root, ground into powder, taken with cold water, 2 qian per dose. Treats injuries from venomous insects such as snakes, she-gong, and sha-li, resulting in locked jaw, darkened eyes, stiff limbs, and toxic qi entering the abdomen.
Injuries from broken wall mirrors are fatal unless treated immediately with alum application. For lacquer dermatitis, wipe with alum decoction.
For knife or axe wounds (metal injuries), mix equal parts of alum and red lead oxide (Dan) into powder and apply externally for best results.
2 liang of alum, added to 1.5 dou of water, boiled for three to five boils, used to soak both feet. Treats Hong Kong foot (Beriberi/Chronic Foot Edema) attacking the heart.
