The Thunder God True Lord said: When people are bitten by tigers, blood will flow heavily, and the wounds will ulcerate immediately with unbearable pain. Urgently apply fresh pork to the wound; it will melt upon application, and should be replaced as it melts. Quickly take one jin (approx. 500g) of Sanguisorbae Radix (Diyu), grind it into fine powder, add three liang (approx. 112.5g) of Panax notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma (Sanqi) powder and four liang (approx. 150g) of Sophorae Flavescentis Radix (Kushen) powder, mix evenly, and sprinkle onto the wound. Reapply as moisture appears. The bleeding will stop, and the pain will subside. This is because Sanguisorbae Radix cools the blood, Sophorae Flavescentis Radix relieves pain, and Panax notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma stops bleeding. Combining the strengths of these three herbs yields miraculous results.

Scalds and Burns
The Thunder God True Lord said: If a person is accidentally scalded or burned by fire, causing widespread ulceration and nearing death, I have a miraculous internal treatment method that can turn death into life. The formula is named Zhu Huo Dan (Fire-Expelling Pill). Use five qian (approx. 18.75g) of Rheum Palmatum Radix et Rhizoma (Dahuang), four liang (approx. 150g) of Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Danggui), three qian (approx. 11.25g) of Schizonepetae Herba (Jingjie) stir-fried until black, five qian (approx. 18.75g) of raw Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Sheng Gancao), three qian (approx. 11.25g) of Scutellariae Radix (Huangqin), three qian (approx. 11.25g) of Saposhnikoviae Radix (Fangfeng), three liang (approx. 112.5g) of Astragali Radix (Huangqi), and three liang (approx. 112.5g) of Poria (Fuling). Decoct in water and take orally. After one dose, pain reduces by half; after two doses, pain ceases completely; after three doses, the wound heals entirely. It is truly a supreme and holy formula. The brilliance of this formula lies in the heavy use of Rheum Palmatum Radix et Rhizoma within Angelicae Sinensis Radix and Astragali Radix, which both tonifies qi and blood and expels fire pathogens. Especially brilliant is the use of Schizonepetae Herba and Saposhnikoviae Radix to guide the qi- and blood-tonifying effects of Astragali Radix and Angelicae Sinensis Radix to generate new tissue and expel stasis. Even more brilliant is the use of three liang of Poria to ensure all fire qi drains downward through the bladder, thereby eliminating skin pain. As for Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Scutellariae Radix, they merely serve to harmonize and cool.

The Thunder God True Lord said: Regarding carbuncles and sores arising on the back, top of the head, chest, abdomen, limbs, waist, umbilicus, or around the genitals and anus, whether caused by yang toxicity or yin toxicity, a single dose of my formula will cause them to dissipate immediately. Those already ulcerated will heal. It is truly a divine formula. Use four liang (approx. 150g) of Lonicerae Japonicae Flos (Jinyinhua), one liang (approx. 37.5g) of Taraxaci Herba (Gongying), two liang (approx. 75g) of Angelicae Sinensis Radix (Danggui), and one liang (approx. 37.5g) of Scrophulariae Radix (Yuanshen). Add five bowls of water and decoct until reduced to eight-tenths. Take when hungry. One dose will make the condition vanish completely. Do not disdain the heavy dosage and reduce the amounts, or the efficacy will be halved. This formula excels at attacking and dispersing various toxins without depleting true qi. It can be taken repeatedly and over long periods without harm. It is also miraculously effective for treating lung abscesses, large intestine abscesses, and small intestine abscesses internally.

I have finished transmitting this. You shall copy another volume, preserve it within *Yi Shu* (Records of Medicine), to complete the whole book. In future years, it will be printed and distributed throughout the world, transmitted for ten thousand years, demonstrating the greatness of my Dao. This is indeed a joyful matter.

The Thunder God True Lord transmitted this at the market in Yanjing (Beijing). The time was the last day of the seventh month in the Wuchen year of the Kangxi reign. I have no other words, only wishing that you cultivate the Dao to repay the heart of the Supreme Emperor. End.
