《精要》云∶愤郁不遂志欲之人，多犯此疾。
《三因》云∶疽、瘰 ，不问虚实寒热，皆由气郁而成。经云∶气宿于经络，与血俱
涩而不行，壅结为痈疽。不言热之所作而后成痈者，此乃因喜怒忧思，有所郁而成也。
独胜散 治痈疽，皆缘血滞气凝而致者。

香附，进食宽气，自有效。
丹溪云∶独胜散，治气郁血滞，而诸疮
愈后，常服半年尤妙。此皆施于体实气郁之人。予见吴兄，浓味气郁，而形实性重，年
近六十，患背疽，医与他药皆不行，惟香附末饮之甚快，始终只此一味，肿溃恃此以安。
然此等体实，而又病实，乃瘥千百而一见者也。每思香附经不言有补，惟不老汤一方，乃
言于老人有益，用片子姜黄、香附子、甘草三味，而以不老为名，且引铁瓮先生与刘君
为证，夫岂无其故哉！盖于行气中有补之之理耳。天之所以为天者，健而有常也，因其
不息，所以生生无穷。正如茺蔚子活血行气，有补阴之妙，故名益母。胎前产后所恃者，气
血耳。胎前无滞，产后无虚，以其行中有补也。夏枯草治瘰 ，亦然。

《补遗》谓∶妇人男子痈疽，治法无异，惟月闭、血虚、气结三证有异耳。予谓∶妇
人海满则行，月闭一证固异，然妇人情性执着，比之男子十倍，虽有虚证宜补，亦当以
执着为虑。向见楼氏妇，早寡，善饮啖，形肥伟，性沉毒，年六十，六七月间生背疽，近
正脊，医遂横直裂开取血，杂以五香、十宣散，与酒饮之月余，未尝议其寡居之郁，酒
肉之毒，执着之滞，时令之热，卒至于平陷，淹延两三月而不救。

Zhonghe Tang (Harmonizing Decoction): Treats sores belonging to the half-Yin half-Yang syndrome, presenting as neither fully ulcerated nor not ulcerated, neither fully swollen nor not swollen. This is caused by deficiency of Yuan Qi (Original Qi), failing to tonify and expel toxins in time.
Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), Chen Pi (Citrus Reticulatae Pericarpium) (each 2 qian), Huang Qi (Astragali Radix), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Bai Zhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix) (each 1.5 qian), Fu Ling (Poria), Chuan Xiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Zao Jiao Ci (Gleditsiae Sinensis Spina) (stir-fried), Ru Xiang (Olibanum), Mo Yao (Myrrha), Jin Yin Hua (Lonicerae Japonicae Flos), Gan Cao Jie (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma node) (each 1 qian).
The above herbs are decocted with half water and half wine, and taken orally.
Neituo San (Supporting Interior Powder) (also known as Huxin San (Heart-Protecting Powder)): Within one to three days of onset, it is advisable to take more than ten doses consecutively.
Zhen Lv Dou Fen (True Mung Bean Starch) (1 liang), Ming Ru Xiang (Clear Olibanum) (0.5 liang, stir-fried slowly in a silver or earthenware vessel until dry, quickly poured out and fanned cool, then ground extremely fine).
Grind the above ingredients evenly. Take 2 to 3 qian each time, mixed with thickly decocted Gan Cao Tang (Licorice Decoction), sipping slowly from time to time, ensuring the medicine remains in the chest and diaphragm area. If toxins rush to the heart causing vomiting and rebellious qi, this formula is highly suitable. (If vomiting and rebellious qi are caused by cold, this formula should not be used; instead, acrid-warm medicines should be employed.) Danxi stated: The mung bean in this powder resolves Dan Du (Cinnabar Poison/Heat Toxin) and treats Shi Du (Stone Poison); its sweet flavor enters the Yangming Stomach meridian, and its cold nature tonifies, serving as the Sovereign herb; Ru Xiang removes malignant swelling, enters the Shaoyin Kidney meridian, has a damp nature and is good at penetrating, serving as the Assistant herb; Gan Cao has a slow nature, resolves poisons of the five metals and eight stones, and poisons of hundred herbs, serving as the Envoy herb. This formula is specifically designed for those who develop Ju (deep-seated abscesses) after taking Dan Shi (cinnabar and sulfur pills). If the Ju is not caused by Dan Shi, it may not be an essential prescription. It is also said: Neituo San has a cool nature, treats vomiting, and has the principle of descending fire.
Guolao Gao (Elderberry Paste) (Note: "Guolao" is a nickname for Gan Cao/Licorice): Treats all types of Yong Ju (carbuncles and deep-seated abscesses), reduces swelling and expels toxins, preventing toxins from attacking inward. Its efficacy cannot be fully described.
Gan Cao (Large roots, 2 jin).
Crush the Gan Cao, soak in river water overnight, knead until the juice is thick, remove all tendons and dregs, filter through silk cloth again, and simmer slowly in a silver or earthenware vessel into a paste. Store in a container. Take 1-2 spoons each time, with Wuhui Jiu (unadulterated wine) or plain hot water. It can also resolve the effects of previously taken drying or cinnabar medicines. (Ben Shi Fang uses 1 jin of Gan Cao, divided into three doses, taken with warm wine. Now saying 1-2 spoons seems too weak.)
Niupang Zhou (Arctii Root Porridge): Treats sore swellings.
Take three stems of Niupang (Arctii Fructus/Radix, here referring to root based on context of preparation) roots, wash clean, and boil until soft. Grind finely in a basin, remove fascia. Add rice to the juice to make porridge. Saltiness or blandness is optional. Taking one bowl is very effective, with no contraindications.
Jiedu San (Detoxifying Powder): Treats carbuncles and sores; best taken at the first sign of discomfort.
Xi Jiao Xie (Rhinoceros Horn Shavings - *Note: Modern substitute often used*), Chuan Sheng Ma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma), Chuan Pu Xiao (Natrii Sulfas), Chi Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix Rubra), Mu Tong (Akebiae Caulis) (each 1 liang, chopped), Shi Gao (Gypsum Fibrosum) (2 liang), Xuan Shen (Scrophulariae Radix), Mai Men Dong (Ophiopogonis Tuber) (heart removed), Gan Cao (raw, chopped, each 0.5 liang).
Take 4 qian of the above mixture each time. Use 1 zhong of water, decoct to 6 fen, remove dregs. Take warm at any time.
Qingxin Neigu Jinfen San (Clear Heart and Solidify Interior Gold Powder) (also known as Jinhua San (Golden Flower Powder)).
Chen Sha (Cinnabar, ground separately), Bai Fu Ling (Poria with skin removed), Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix, rhizome removed), Gan Cao (Licorice Root) (each 7.5 qian), Lv Dou Fen (Mung Bean Starch) (4 liang, ground), Bai Dou Kou Ren (Amomi Fructus Seed), Po Xiao (Natrii Sulfas, ground separately), Xiong Huang (Realgar, ground), Nao Zi (Borneol), She Xiang (Moschus) (all ground, each 2.5 qian).
Grind Ren Shen, Fu Ling, and Bai Dou Kou into powder, mix with the other ground medicines evenly. Take 1.5 qian each time, mixed with honey water, at any time. This medicine specifically treats malignant sores, intense heat pain, thirst, and irritability, possessing detoxifying properties.
Neizhui Du Dan (Interior-Pursuing Toxin Pill): Clears heart and detoxifies.
Da Zhu Sha (Cinnabar), Xiong Huang (Realgar) (each 5 qian), Sheng She Xiang (Fresh Moschus) (1 qian), Sheng Xi Jiao (Fresh Rhinoceros Horn), Hu Po (Amber) (above separately ground fine), Hei Jiao Chen Xiang (Black Aquilaria Agallocha Wood) (each 5 qian).
Grind into powder, refine honey to make pills the size of Sophora seeds. Take 20 pills each time, with Deng Xin (Junci Medulla) and Bo He (Menthae Haplocalycis Herba) decoction.
Jing Yao states: People who are resentful, depressed, and have unfulfilled desires often suffer from this disease.
San Yin Lun states: Ju (deep-seated abscesses) and Luoli (scrofula), regardless of deficiency/excess or cold/heat, are all formed by Qi stagnation. The classics state: Qi lodges in the meridians, stagnates with blood, obstructs and knots to form Yong Ju (carbuncles and abscesses). It does not say that heat causes the formation of sores, but rather that it is due to anger, joy, worry, and thought causing stagnation.
Dusheng San (Single Victory Powder): Treats Yong Ju (carbuncles and abscesses) caused by blood stasis and Qi condensation.
Xiang Fu Zi (Cyperi Rhizoma, hairs removed cleanly, soaked in Sheng Jiang Jiang (Ginger Juice) overnight, dried, ground extremely fine).
Take 2 qian mixed with plain hot water at any time. It is also said: Ju diseases are often caused by anger. If one has this disease, there must be much anger. Just taking Xiang Fu promotes digestion and moves Qi, which will naturally be effective.
Danxi said: Dusheng San treats Qi stagnation and blood stasis. After the healing of various sores, taking it regularly for half a year is especially wonderful. This applies to people with solid constitution and Qi stagnation. I saw Brother Wu, who consumed rich foods and had Qi stagnation, with a solid body and heavy temperament, nearly sixty years old, suffering from a back carbuncle. Other medicines prescribed by doctors were ineffective, only drinking Xiang Fu powder brought quick relief. He relied solely on this single herb throughout, and the swelling and ulceration were stabilized by it. However, such cases of solid constitution and solid disease occur only once in thousands. I often think that although the classics do not mention Xiang Fu having tonifying properties, the formula Bu Lao Tang (Ageless Decoction) claims benefit for the elderly, using Pianzi Jiang Huang (Curcuma Longa Rhizoma slice), Xiang Fu Zi, and Gan Cao, named "Ageless," and cites Mr. Tie Weng and Jun Liu as evidence. There must be a reason! It lies in the fact that moving Qi contains the principle of tonification. Heaven is Heaven because it is vigorous and constant; because it does not cease, life generates endlessly. Similarly, Chong Wei Zi (Leonuri Fructus) invigorates blood and moves Qi, having the subtle effect of tonifying Yin, hence the name Yi Mu (Beneficial Mother). What is relied upon before and after childbirth is Qi and Blood. Before pregnancy, there is no stagnation; after childbirth, there is no deficiency, because movement contains tonification. Xia Ku Cao (Prunellae Spica) treating Luoli (scrofula) is the same.
Yuanzhi Jiu (Polygalae Wine): Treats all Yong Ju (carbuncles and abscesses) and Back Carbuncles, boils and toxic sores, infiltrating dead blood. If Yin toxin is inside, there is no pain; applying it causes pain. If憂怒 (worry and anger) accumulate and attack inward, pain is unbearable; applying it stops pain. If heat accumulates inside, making hands unable to approach, applying it brings coolness. If Qi is deficient and Blood is cold, ulcerating but not healing, if caused by internal depression of Seven Emotions, treatment will surely cure.
Yuan Zhi (Polygalae Radix) (amount unspecified, soaked in rice washing water, pounded to remove heart, dried, ground to powder).
Use one zhan of wine, mix with 3 qian of powder, let settle, and drink the clear liquid. Apply the dregs to the affected area.
Yueju Wan (Resolving Depression Pill): Treats Six Depressions, toothache, mouth and tongue ulcers, chest and diaphragm fullness, vomiting and acid regurgitation, abdominal distension and leg soreness, etc.
Cang Zhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma, stir-fried), Shen Qu (Massae Fermentatae Medicinalis, stir-fried), Xiang Fu (Cyperi Rhizoma), Shan Zha (Crataegi Fructus), Shan Zhi (Gardeniae Fructus, stir-fried), Fu Xiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Mai Ya (Hordei Fructus Germinatus, stir-fried) (equal parts).
Grind into powder, mix with water and Qu flour to make pills the size of Sophora seeds. Take 70 pills each time, with plain hot water.
Wuxiang San (Five Fragrances Powder): Ascends and descends various Qis, ventilates and benefits the Sanjiao (Triple Burner), unblocks stagnation, disperses evil heat. Treats Yin and Yang Qi, knotted and unresolved, various heats accumulating into toxins, painful swelling and nodules, or resembling carbuncles/boils but not quite, causing headache, nausea, aversion to cold and fever, and rapid breathing.
Mu Xiang (Aucklandiae Radix), Ding Xiang (Caryophylli Flos), Chen Xiang (Aquilariae Lignum Resinatum), Ru Xiang (Olibanum), Lei Xiang (Agastaches Herba) (equal parts).
Chop into pieces. Take 3 qian each time, decoct with 1.5 zhan of water, take warm after meals.
Bu Yi states: The treatment for male and female Yong Ju (carbuncles and abscesses) is no different, except for three conditions: amenorrhea, Blood deficiency, and Qi knot. I believe: Women's menstruation flows when full, so amenorrhea is indeed different. However, women's temperaments are ten times more stubborn than men's. Even if there is deficiency requiring tonification, one must consider their stubbornness. I once saw Lady Lou, widowed early, fond of drinking and eating, fat and tall, with a dark and toxic temperament, aged sixty. In June or July, she developed a back carbuncle near the spine. The doctor cut horizontally and vertically to drain blood, mixed with Wuxiang San (Five Fragrances Powder) and Shixuan San (Ten Acupoints Powder), given with wine for over a month. No one discussed her widowhood-related depression, the toxicity of alcohol and meat, the stagnation of stubbornness, or the seasonal heat. Ultimately, the carbuncle flattened and sank, lingering for two or three months without rescue.
Rendong Jiu (Lonicera Vine Wine): Should be taken at the initial onset. Whether in poverty, living in remote villages, farmers or old villagers, it works perfectly every time.
Rendong Teng (Lonicerae Japonicae Caulis) (freshly taken, a handful, leaves ground in a mortar with a little wine, mixed well, applied around the perimeter leaving the center open; another 5 liang pounded with a wooden hammer, avoiding iron vessels), Gan Cao (Licorice Root, raw chopped, 1 liang).
Put the above two ingredients in a clay pot. Use 2 bowls of water, decoct with mild heat to 1 bowl, add 1 large bowl of good wine, boil for ten+ boils, remove dregs. Divide into three doses, finish within one day and night; for severe heat, two doses can be taken in one day and night. (Rendong Teng tonifies Blood; not suitable for Qi deficiency and excessive cold. Thus, farmers and old villagers find it perfectly effective.)
Jinyinhua Tang (Honeysuckle Decoction): Treats all Yong Ju (carbuncles and abscesses), Back Carbuncles, Ding Chuang (hard carbuncles), Hou Bi (throat closure), Ru E (tonsillitis/mumps).
Jinyinhua Tengye (Lonicera Japonica Vine and Leaves), pounded, extract half a cup of juice, mix with half a cup of hot wine, take warm. For severe cases, no more than 3-5 doses ensure safety.
Huaihua Jiu (Sophora Flower Wine): Treats Back Carbuncles and all sores/toxins, whether formed or not, if painful, treat both.

Yuan Rong: Example of Cold Yong Ju (Carbuncles/Abscesses) in Su Wen (Basic Questions). The classics state: Kidney transmits cold to Spleen, causing swelling and shortness of breath. Spleen transmits cold to Liver, causing swelling and spasms. Also: All cold-induced swellings arise from changes of the Eight Winds. Also: Earth's dampness affects people, harming skin, flesh, sinews, and vessels. Sheng Ji states: Clothes too thick, exterior easily catches cold. The source of acquisition is generally like this. Or eruption without color change, or hard as stone, or painless when pressed. Later changes color and becomes painful, gradually softens into pus, thin like rice water, long-term non-healing, wound edges do not close, transforms into Gan Lou (fistula with tissue decay), destroys muscle, invades bone marrow, leading to atrophy and numbness.
