Various types of toothache: Rinse the mouth with a decoction of Cyperi Rhizoma (Xiangfu) and Artemisia Argyi Leaf (Aiye), and still apply Cyperi Rhizoma (Xiangfu) powder to the affected area to remove saliva. (From *Puji Fang*) To strengthen teeth, dispel wind, benefit Qi, darken beard hair, and treat toothache and receding gums, this is a wonderful prescription by Mr. Tie Weng.

Carbuncles, sores, and ulcers: Zeng Fuxian said: All carbuncles, sores, and ulcers are caused by Qi stagnation and blood coagulation; it is appropriate to take various aromatic medicines to guide Qi and unblock blood. Chang Qizhi said: Qi and blood flow smoothly when smelling fragrance, but reverse when smelling foul odors. Sores and ulcers are caused by Qi obstruction and blood accumulation; they most strictly forbid foul and unclean conditions, as touching them will cause the toxin to spread. Duke Chen Zhengjie said: Generally, ju diseases (deep abscesses) are often obtained due to anger; simply taking Cyperi Rhizoma (Xiangfu) medicine and eating foods that broaden Qi is highly effective. Du Sheng San (Single Victory Powder): Take Cyperi Rhizoma (Xiangfu), remove hairs, marinate in Fresh Ginger Juice (Shengjiangzhi) overnight, bake dry, and grind into fine powder. Take two qian (approx. 6g) with plain warm water at any time. If the sore has just started, use this as a substitute for tea. After the sore ulcerates, it is also suitable to take it. Or simply use Xiao Wu Chen Tang (Minor Black Sink Decoction) from *Ju Fang*, using less Licorice Root (Gancao); continuing to take it for half a year after recovery is especially excellent. (From Chen Ziming's *Waike Jingyao*)
