Borax (1.5 qian) Shuifen Danggui (each 1 qian)

Jiegu Mu (Adansonia digitata Stem), i.e., Shuodiao (3 liang) Ruxiang (Frankincense Resin) (3 liang) Chishao Yao (Red Peony Root) Danggui (Angelica Sinensis Radix) Chuanxiong (Ligusticum Chuanxiong Rhizome) Ziran Tong (Pyritum) (each 1 liang)
Grind the above into powder. Melt 4 liang of yellow beeswax and mix it thoroughly with the aforementioned powders. Roll into pills the size of longan fruits. For severe pain due to struck tendons and bones or sprains that are unbearable, take one pill, soak it in hot wine until dissolved, and drink it while warm; the pain will cease immediately. In cases of major trauma, first reduce the bone, then grind Chuanwu (Aconitum Carmichaelii Lateralis Radix Praeparata) and Caowu (Aconitum Kusnezoffii Rhizome) in equal proportions into powder, mix with fresh ginger juice, and apply topically. Immobilize the injury and take the internal medicine; there will be no failure in efficacy.
My commentary: The previous three formulas are all effective, so they are recorded in full for practical use.

Treats pain in tendons and bones due to blunt force trauma, blood rebellion with fainting, retention of blood stasis causing abdominal pain, or distension and stuffiness in the chest and diaphragm.

My commentary: Jiegu San (Bone-Setting Powder) and Moyao Wan (Myrrh Pill) are suitable for patients whose Yuanqi (Primary Qi) is not depleted. For those with inherently weak Kidney Qi or elderly patients with deficient Kidney Qi, Dihuang Wan (Rehmannia Pill) and Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Decoction for Invigorating the Middle and Augmenting Qi) should be used to consolidate the root constitution.
