夫金疮裹缚不密,为风水气所中,则疼痛不止,而肿痛,内生青黄汁。
金刃中于经络者,下血必多,腑脏空虚,津液竭少,无血气荣养,故须补之。
夫金疮有久不瘥,脓汁不绝,肌肉不生者,其疮内有破骨、断筋、伏血、腐肉、缺刃、
竹刺,久而不出,令疮不愈,喜出青汁。当破出之,疮则愈。
夫被打,陷骨伤头,脑眩不举,戴眼直视,口不能语,咽中沸声如 子喘,口急,
手为妄取,即日不死,三日小愈。
夫有瘀血者,其人喜忘,不欲闻物声。病患胸满,唇萎舌青,口燥,但欲漱水不欲咽,
无热,脉微大来迟,腹不满,其人言我腹满,为有瘀血。汗当出不出,内结亦为瘀。病患胸
满,口干,膊痛,渴,无寒热,为有瘀血。腹满,口燥不渴,唾如浆状,此有留血尔。
从高顿仆,内有血,腹胀满。其脉牢强者生,小弱者死。得笞掠,内有结血。脉实大者
生,虚小者死。其汤熨针石,别有正方。补养宣导,今附于后。

Metal wounds (traumas caused by metal sharp instruments) that are not bound tightly will be invaded by wind and water-dampness pathogens, resulting in unceasing pain, swelling, and the internal generation of bluish-yellow pus.
When metal blades injure the meridians, bleeding must be profuse, leading to emptiness of the fu-zang organs, exhaustion of body fluids, and a lack of blood and qi nourishment; therefore, tonification is required.
In cases where metal wounds fail to heal for a long time, with continuous suppuration and failure of muscle regeneration, it is because there are broken bones, severed tendons, latent blood stasis, necrotic flesh, residual blade fragments, or bamboo splinters within the wound that have remained inside for a long time without being expelled, preventing healing and predisposing to the discharge of bluish pus. These foreign bodies must be surgically opened and removed for the wound to heal.
In cases of beating injuries causing bone depression and head trauma, symptoms include dizziness and vertigo preventing the patient from rising, eyes fixed upward and staring straight ahead, inability to speak, gurgling sounds in the throat resembling infantile asthma, oral tension, and involuntary grasping movements with the hands. If the patient does not die on the day of injury, slight improvement may occur after three days.
For any person suffering fractures, if night sweats occur on the night of the injury, this indicates severance of the marrow and death will follow in seven days. If no sweating occurs, the patient will survive.
Patients with blood stasis often suffer from forgetfulness and dislike hearing sounds of objects. The patient experiences chest fullness, withered lips, cyanotic tongue, dry mouth, a desire only to rinse the mouth with water without swallowing, absence of fever, and a pulse that is slightly large but slow in arrival. Although the abdomen is not distended, the patient claims abdominal fullness; this indicates blood stasis. When sweat should be excreted but fails to do so, internal condensation also forms blood stasis. Patients with chest fullness, dry mouth, shoulder pain, thirst, and absence of aversion to cold or fever have blood stasis. Abdominal fullness with dry mouth but no thirst, and saliva thick like paste, indicates retained blood. Falling from a height results in internal blood accumulation causing abdominal distension. A firm and strong pulse indicates survival, while a small and weak pulse indicates death. After receiving blows or scourging, internal clotted blood forms. A solid and large pulse indicates survival, while a deficient and small pulse indicates death. Treatments involving decoctions, hot compresses, acupuncture, and stone therapy have separate specific formulas. Methods for tonification, nourishment, and guided exercises are attached below.
The *Yangsheng Fang* (Prescriptions for Nourishing Life) · *Daoyin Fa* (Guiding and Pulling Methods) states: Sit upright, straighten the waist, raise the left hand with the palm facing up, support the right hypochondrium with the right hand, inhale through the nose, and hold the breath to its limit for seven cycles of respiration. This eliminates blood stasis and stagnant qi.
It further states: Inhale through the nose, close the mouth, and hold the breath to its limit for seven cycles of respiration. This eliminates accumulated blood and qi under both hypochondria.
It again states: Sit upright, straighten the waist, raise the left hand, support the right hypochondrium with the right hand, and inhale through the nose for seven cycles of respiration. This eliminates blood stasis.
It again states: Sit upright, place the right hand on the waist, inhale through the nose for seven cycles of respiration, and twist the head left and right thirty times each. This eliminates systemic blood stasis and neck/headache.
It again states: Grasp the waist with both hands, fingers facing each other, extend to the limit, and shake forward and backward fourteen times. Additionally, extend the thumbs backward to the limit and shake fourteen times. Without moving the hands, align them up and down, coordinate with the qi sinking to the limit, and repeat twenty-one times. This removes blockage of blood and qi at Yunmen (LU 1) and the waist/flank area.
