To treat injuries caused by blunt force trauma, scalds, burns, and toxic sores, whether the wound has already ulcerated or not, if the flesh is injured but not yet necrotic, application of this remedy will lead to spontaneous recovery. If the flesh has died, application of this remedy causes the dead tissue to slough off spontaneously, facilitating the easy growth of new flesh; when applied until the flesh color gradually turns white, the toxicity is completely eliminated, and the generation of muscle tissue is most rapid. In cases of blunt force injury where the epidermis remains intact but the underlying tissue undergoes internal putrefaction, the epidermis becomes dry, shrunken, hard, and fails to ulcerate naturally due to internal contraction, causing pain that extends to the healthy surrounding tissue. This condition is colloquially known as "Ding Jia Pi" (hard scab). It prevents the drainage of pus and blood stasis, leading to increased internal distension and pain, and deepening of the rotting and ulceration. Often, without waiting for natural ulceration, the area is surgically excised, resulting in an open wound that is difficult to heal and close. Frail individuals often develop Lockjaw (Po Shang Feng) from this, frequently leading to untreatable conditions. If there is blood stasis within a blunt force injury, use a sharp-edged porcelain shard to lance the affected area to release the stasis, then apply this medicine. The hard scab will form naturally, dead tissue will slough off, and purulent discharge will exit spontaneously. The depth of ulceration will be shallow, and during the process of generating new tissue, no scab will form, thereby avoiding the pain of tearing off scabs. This yields extraordinary efficacy. This is because Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix), Ma You (Sesame Oil), and La (Beeswax) primarily generate muscle tissue, relieve pain, nourish blood, and reconnect tendons, which is compatible with newly formed tissue. I have published this formula, and many practitioners use it.
