[Background Information]
Book: *Lizhai Waikke Fahui* (Elaboration on Surgery by Lizhai)
Author: Xue Ji (Ming Dynasty)
Chapter: Preface / Swollen Ulcer (referring to sores/ulcers before suppuration)
Category: Surgery
[English Translation]
Internal and external medicine practiced by physicians are actually interconnected as interior and exterior. Pediatrics is particularly difficult to treat because infants cannot articulate their symptoms, hence it is called the "Mute Department." Although sores and ulcers are visible, tangible conditions, one must first examine the patient's innate constitution and subsequent exposure to pathogenic factors. Therefore, people vary in age and strength, and pulse presentations differ in excess or deficiency, fullness or emptiness. Thus, when treating diseases and sores/ulcers, one must first distinguish between excess (Shi) and deficiency (Xu), and apply treatment principles according to the primary-secondary relationship and urgency. These principles can be verified in the discussions of Dong Yuan, Dan Xi, He Jian, and Zhong Jing. I deeply lament that many mediocre physicians today have not studied books to understand principles, experimenting with prescriptions for sores/ulcers and thereby harming patients, a situation that is not uncommon. I once saw Mr. Xue, Judge of Nanjing, authored *Waike Xinfa* (Essentials of External Medicine), which is precise and essential, worthy of transmission, demonstrating his benevolence in aiding the distressed and reviving the critical. One day, he presented this manuscript to my father, saying, "I wish to compile verified prescriptions from my clinical cases into a book, hoping to benefit others and verify my own skills." Following my father's intent, I categorized the symptoms, intending to record those proven effective, paying special attention to distinguishing excess from deficiency and determining appropriate treatments for primary-secondary and excess-deficiency patterns. I plan to have it printed for dissemination, hoping to assist unnamed physicians in remote villages, not merely for self-verification. Mr. Li Puting, Vice Minister, had seen this work and titled it *Lizhai Waikke Fahui*. Why do you not write a preface? I believe a gentleman does not forget his parents nor hoard benefits privately. Not forgetting parents is filial piety; not hoarding privately is benevolence. Filial piety leads to benevolence, benevolence leads to impartiality, and impartiality leads to universality. Mr. Xue's compilation truly reflects the heart of a gentleman! We Confucian scholars extend ourselves to all things to seek benevolence, aiming to place the world in a realm of benevolence and longevity. The publication of this book will surely greatly benefit humanity; therefore, I wrote this preface to promote and spread it.
On the first day of the first month of autumn in the Wuzi year of the Jiajing era, Zhang Huai, Former Jinshi, Member of the Court of Judicature and Revision in Nanjing, and fellow townsman, wrote the preface.
If swelling is high, painful, and the pulse is floating, the pathogen is at the exterior; use the supporting method (Tuo). If swelling is hard, pain is deep, and the pulse is sinking, the pathogen is internal; use the purgative method (Xia). If there is no external swelling but internal tension/pain or headache, the pathogen is at the exterior; use the dispersing method (San). If pain is severe or absent, the pathogen is excessive; use garlic-separated moxibustion and further employ detoxifying agents. If there is irritability, desire for cold drinks, burning pain, and a rapid pulse, the pathogen is in the upper jiao; use the clearing method (Qing). If there is aversion to cold and the sore does not ulcerate, it is excess qi combined with cold pathogen; use venting and tonifying methods. If there is pain, fever, profuse sweating, extreme thirst, constipation, and delirium, it is a Yang-binding syndrome; use the purgative method. If pus does not form, or if it is ripe but does not ulcerate, it is deficiency; use tonification.
A man suffered from a carbuncle on the chest, with high swelling, pain, and a floating-tight pulse. After two doses of Neituo Fujian San (Internal Supporting Double-Decoction Powder), the exterior symptoms subsided completely. Four doses of Tuoli Xiaodu San (Supporting Interior and Detoxifying Powder) caused the swelling to dissipate.
A man suffered from an abscess on the abdomen, with hard swelling, increasing oppression, irritability, fever, constipation, and a rapid-excess pulse. After one dose of Huanglian Neishu Tang (Coptis Internal-Draining Decoction), he improved slightly; two doses of Huanglian Jiedu Tang (Coptis Detoxifying Decoction) caused immediate relief. Four doses of Jinyinhua San (Honeysuckle Powder) led to drainage and resolution.
A man suffered from leg pain without swelling, with normal bowel and bladder functions. Several doses of Tuoli Rongwei Tang (Supporting Interior and Regulating Ying-Wei Decoction) resolved the condition.
A woman suffered from a toxic swelling on the neck, with local pain and alternating chills and fever. Two doses of Jingfang Baidu San (Schizonepeta and Saposhnikovia Detoxifying Powder) brought slight improvement. Four doses of Xiao Chaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) added with Lqiaoqiao (Forsythia), Niubangzi (Arctii Fructus), and Jiegeng (Platycodon) resolved the condition.
A man suffered from a toxic swelling on the shoulder, with local pain, desire for cold drinks, irritability, constipation, and a rapid-excess pulse. Two doses of Qingliang Yin (Cooling Drink) brought slight improvement. Four doses of Jinyinhua San caused complete resolution. Another prescription, Shixuan San (Ten Acupoints Powder), with Gui Zhi (Cinnamon Twig) removed and Tianhuafen (Trichosanthes Root) and Jinyinhua added, taken for several doses, led to ulceration of the sore head and recovery.
A woman suffered from arm swelling, with aversion to cold and failure to suppurate. Six doses of Shixuan San led to ulceration; several doses of Tuoli San (Supporting Interior Powder) led to cure.
A man suffered from a carbuncle, with hard swollen pain, fever, irritability, desire for cold drinks, a sinking-excess pulse, and constipation. This indicated pathogen in the zang organs. Neishu Huanglian Tang (Internal Draining Coptis Decoction) was used to drain, resolving the condition in four doses.
A man suffered from a toxic swelling on the inner thigh, with hard swollen severe pain and failure to suppurate. Garlic-separated moxibustion for over fifty moxa cones reduced the severity by seven or eight tenths. Four doses of Xianfang Huoming Yin (Immortal Formula for Saving Lives Decoction) led to suppuration. Six doses of Shixuan San led to ulceration and cure. For sores with severe pain or numbness, moxibustion is most beneficial.
A woman suffered from arm swelling, pre-suppurative stage, with poor appetite and pain/fever upon exertion. Two doses of Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Middle-Boosting Qi-Supplementing Decoction) stopped the pain slightly. Subsequent treatment with herbs tonifying qi and blood and strengthening the spleen and stomach resolved the condition.
A man with a weak constitution suffered from a chest carbuncle, with poor appetite and fatigue. Liu Jun Zi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction) added with Xiong (Ligusticum), Gui (Angelica), and Huang Qi (Astragalus) led to suppuration, followed by needle drainage. Further treatment with supporting interior herbs led to recovery.
A woman suffered from a carbuncle on the hypochondrium, pre-suppurative, with aversion to cold and tight pulse. Two doses of Shixuan San added with Chai Hu (Bupleurum) resolved all exterior symptoms. Several doses of Tuoli San led to ulceration and recovery.
A woman suffered from a toxic swelling on the arm, hard and swollen, with throat obstruction, cold limbs, and alternating chills and fever. Two doses of Wuxiang Liaoqiao Tang (Five Fragrances and Forsythia Decoction) brought immediate cure. Four doses of Chuake Liuyin (Surgery Qi-Regulating Decoction) resolved the condition.
A man suffered from an arm carbuncle, with a string-tight forceful pulse. Two doses of Baizhi Shengma Tang (Angelica Dahurica and Cimicifuga Decoction) caused immediate decline. Two more doses led to resolution.
A woman suffered from a toxic swelling below the shoulder, with a string-tight pulse. Two doses of Baizhi Shengma Tang resolved exterior symptoms. Further treatment with supporting interior herbs led to ulceration and recovery.
A man suffered from an arm carbuncle, failing to suppurate. Moxibustion with Dou Chi Bing (Fermented Soybean Cake) and drinking supporting interior herbs for over thirty doses led to ulceration. Recovery took another month.
A man had a ripe abscess that did not ulcerate. I intended to needle it and support the interior. He disbelieved, instead taking attacking/toxic drugs, resulting in nausea and poor appetite. Only then did he realize his error and accept needling. Liu Jun Zi Tang added with Huo Xiang (Patchouli) and Dang Gui (Angelica) for four doses brought slight improvement. Jiawei Shiquan Dabu Tang (Modified Ten Complete Great Tonifying Decoction) for several doses led to wound closure. For ripe abscesses, failure to needle allows pus toxin to erode tissue; mild cases are hard to treat, severe cases incurable. For the elderly and weak, or in remote areas, or vital locations, once pus forms, urgent needling is required, followed by supporting interior therapy, to avoid complications.
A man suffered from toxic pain. Taking cold-natured herbs stopped the pain but reduced appetite further and prevented ulceration. Liu Jun Zi Tang improved appetite; subsequent supporting interior herbs... (Text implies continuation of principle): For pain due to wind-cold-damp, use warm-dispersing agents. For wind-induced pain, dispel wind. For damp-induced pain, guide out dampness. For dryness-induced pain, moisten. For blockage-induced pain, unblock. For deficiency-induced pain, tonify. For excess-induced pain, purge. For blocked pus, open it. For foul flesh erosion, remove it. For yin-yang disharmony, harmonize. For meridian obstruction/stagnation, promote flow. Do not indiscriminately use cold-natured drugs. Blood vessels prefer warmth and dislike cold; if cold qi enters internally, blood stagnates, leading to difficult-to-heal conditions.
A man with a weak constitution suffered from elbow swelling. Seeking internal resolution, he took cold herbs, causing diarrhea and poor appetite. Er Shen Wan (Two Divine Pills) and Xiangsha Liu Jun Zi Tang (Aromatic Cardamom Six Gentlemen Decoction) added with Rou Dou Kou (Nutmeg) strengthened the spleen and stomach. Subsequently, blood-invigorating and meridian-regulating herbs were used adjunctively, considering meridians and seasons, to allow toxin to manifest externally. Early treatment could lead to internal resolution. This is the meaning of internal support. It is also said: For swollen ulcers with internal and external stagnation, prioritize supporting interior and releasing exterior. Using Da Huang (Rhubarb) might be rash. For ulcerated sores with internal and external deficiency, prioritize tonification and connection. Using aromatic dispersants would worsen deficiency. Generally, carbuncles/swellings should not be solely attributed to fire. The Classic states: When Ying Qi does not follow its course and reverses into muscle tissue, carbuncles/swellings arise. Also: Shape injury causes pain, Qi injury causes swelling; six excesses and seven emotions can all cause them. Given individual constitutional excess/deficiency and differences in age/weakness, how can one indiscriminately use cold herbs? If toxin just gathers, pus not formed, and momentum not strong, resolution might be possible. One must investigate etiology and distinguish excess/deficiency. Indiscriminate cold herbs will surely cause errors. If pus is about to form, with excess pathogen and strong qi, using detoxifying agents kills the toxin first; even if pus forms, suffering is less, and ulceration is mild. Using supporting interior herbs now would increase the pathogen's momentum. Use supporting interior therapy only when pus is about to form but doesn't, or fails to ulcerate. For formed pus with strong momentum, needle it. Once pus drains, all symptoms subside.
