陈实功曰∶平素嗜饮，胃经湿热糟粕之气，上熏肺金，故有赤鼻之证也。（《正宗》）
冯鲁瞻曰∶赤鼻，乃肺中积热，六阳上蒸而成。（《锦囊》）
又曰∶凡鼻头白者，血亡也；赤者，血热也。盖面为阳中之阳，鼻居面中，一身
之血，远至面鼻，皆为至清至精之血。若血亡无以运，则色白而不荣；血热而沸腾，
则独红而且赤。盖肺之为脏，其位高，其体脆，性畏寒，又恶热，故多酒之人，酒
气熏蒸，则为鼻 。准赤得热愈红，热血得冷则凝，污而不行，故色紫黑。其治之
法，亡血者温补之；热血者清利之；寒凝者，化滞生新，四物汤加酒芩、酒红花之
类；气弱者，更加酒浸黄 以运之。其酒 鼻，治法亦然也。
又曰∶鼻为呼吸之门户，热气蒸于外，则为肺风赤鼻，不独因于酒也。热气壅于
内，则为息肉、鼻疮。故息肉者，上焦积热郁塞而生也。

Chen Shigong stated: Individuals who habitually indulge in alcohol consumption may suffer from damp-heat and turbid qi of the Stomach Meridian (Stomach Channel) rising to熏 (fume/steal) the Lung Metal, resulting in the condition of Red Nose (Red Nasal Tip). (From *Waike Zhengzong*)
Feng Luzhan stated: Red Nose is formed by accumulated heat in the Lungs steaming upwards via the Six Yang Meridians. (From *Yizong Jinjian* - Brocade Satchel section)
He further stated: A white nasal tip indicates blood deficiency; a red nasal tip indicates blood heat. The face belongs to yang within yang, and the nose resides in the center of the face. The blood reaching the face and nose from the entire body consists of the purest and most refined blood. If blood is deficient and cannot nourish, the color appears white and lacks luster; if blood heat boils, it manifests as distinct redness. The Lung, as an organ, is located high, has a fragile constitution, fears cold, and detests heat. Therefore, in individuals who consume much alcohol, the fumes of wine steam upwards, causing 酒齄鼻 (Jiuzao Bi, Rosacea-like rhinophyma). The tip of the nose becomes redder when exposed to heat; hot blood coagulates when cooled, becoming turbid and stagnant, thus turning purple-black. The treatment principles are as follows: for blood deficiency, use warming and tonifying methods; for blood heat, use clearing and draining methods; for cold stagnation, resolve stagnation and generate new tissue using Siwu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) added with wine-fried Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) and wine-soaked Honghua (Carthami Flos); for Qi deficiency, add wine-soaked Huangqi (Astragali Radix) to promote circulation. The treatment for 酒齄鼻 follows similar principles.
He also stated: The nose serves as the gateway for respiration. Heat steaming externally results in Lung Wind Red Nose (Feifeng Chibi), which is not solely caused by alcohol. Heat congesting internally leads to polyps or nasal sores. Thus, polyps arise from accumulated heat and depression in the Upper Jiao (Upper Burner) causing blockage.
Verified Prescription 1: Take two liang of golden Ledum (Miduoseng, Litharge), grind into an extremely fine powder, and mix with human milk or white honey to form a thin paste. Apply to the nose slightly heated before bedtime; wash off the next morning with mouthwash. It can be cured within one month.
Another Prescription: Walnut meat (with skin), Gouqizi (Lycii Fructus), and Yuanyanrou (Longan Aril) (three jin each). Mash into a paste to be eaten as a snack occasionally; the redness will naturally subside.
Another Prescription: Rub teeth with salt, then rinse with mouthwash. With time, it will recede spontaneously.
Another Prescription: Chew raw Baiguo (Ginkgo Semen) until mashed and apply to the nose.
For Red Nose and 酒齄鼻 (Rosacea):
Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex), Kushen (Sophorae Flavescentis Radix), Binglang (Arecae Semen) (equal parts). Grind into powder. Mix with pig fat for topical application.
Blood heat entering the Lung causes 酒齄鼻 (Rosacea). (Secret Recipe)
Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Kushen (Sophorae Flavescentis Radix) (four liang each). Grind into powder. Form pills with wine paste, size of Sophora seeds. Take eighty pills after meals with hot tea. Self-healing occurs upon finishing the medicine.
For Red Nose:
Liuhuang (Sulfur), Pixiao (Natrii Sulfas) (equal parts). Grind to flour-like consistency. Rub on before sleep. Complete recovery in one month.
Another Prescription: Niuhuang (Bovis Calculus), Mingxionghuang (Realgar), Nense Liuhuang (Yellow Sulfur) (five fen each), Baipengsha (Borax), Mingfan (Alumen) (one qian, one liang respectively). Grind into extremely fine powder. Moisten the red nose with saliva occasionally, dip in powder, and rub. Rub before sleep; leaving it overnight is particularly effective.
Divine Prescription for Red Nose:
Xueyu (Calceolaria Hominis, Human Hair) (three jin, washed with rice water, then long-flowing water; decocted with Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) one jin, Danggui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) and Baishao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) eight liang each, in five bowls of Wugen Water (water without root source) boiled down to three bowls; dregs re-decocted and filtered clear; used in three batches to boil Xueyu; remaining juice mixed with Xueyu, sun-dried by day and dew-exposed by night until juice is exhausted), Tianmendong (Asparagi Radix, heart removed), Maimendong (Ophiopogonis Radix, heart removed), Shudihuang (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata), BaiFuling (Poria) (four liang each), Shanzhi (Gardeniae Fructus), Gan Ge (Puerariae Radix), Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix), Zhike (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (two liang each).
Place all herbs including Xueyu together, wrap tightly in cotton paper into a ball, coat externally with cooked yellow mud about two cun thick, forming a round ball. Dry in the sun. If cracks appear, patch with mud. Use mulberry wood fire in a Bagua furnace to calcine until smoke rises. When white smoke appears, remove and bury in soil for seven days. Remove soil, grind to powder, form pills with refined honey, size of Sophora seeds. Take two or three qian after morning and evening meals with warm water. After seven days of administration, redness subsides.
