Danxi stated: Accumulation (Ji Ju) and mass formations (Zheng Jia) vary in type. "Accumulation" is the general term for stagnation and storage. Treatment should be differentiated based on whether the pathology is located centrally, on the left, or on the right. Any lump is a tangible entity; Qi cannot form tangible entities. These are merely phlegm (Tan), food retention (Shi Ji), and dead blood (Si Xue - stasis). Pathology in the center belongs to fluid retention (Tan Yin); on the right, it belongs to food retention; on the left, it belongs to dead blood (stasis). The general principle is to use salty substances to soften hardness, use reducing agents to削 (xiao - reduce/scrape away) firmness, and focus on moving Qi and resolving phlegm. Do not restrict oneself to any specific plaster; take two sheets of plaster, remove one, sprinkle five fen of Bai Xin powder (White Arsenic Powder) onto it (for children... if abdominal distension and stuffiness occur after application, it indicates the痞 accumulation (Pi Ji) is about to dissipate.

Pound together into a plaster, spread on cloth, and apply according to the size of the pi mass. Add She Xiang (Musk) 2 li. When the pi mass disappears, the plaster falls off naturally.
