Painful and itchy sores and ulcers all belong to Heart Fire. Treatment should be based on the affected meridians and the Heart Meridian.
Yong (Carbuncle) is swelling caused by Yang stagnating in Yin, characterized by a raised head, shiny skin and flesh.
Ju (Deep Abscess) is swelling caused by Yin stagnating in Yang, characterized by no head, large internal spread, wrinkled skin without luster. To identify the Ju orifice, apply wet paper to the swelling; the first place where it dries is the Ju orifice.
At the initial stage of Yong, Ju, Ding, and Ji (boils), observe the meridian distribution. Needle along the respective meridians without skipping days. If needles are applied every other day, it will be ineffective. Do not worry about auspicious dates or taboos; needle daily. Or needle twice a day to drain toxicity, ensuring recovery within ten days. If needle every other day, or after 5-6 sessions the patient suffers and abandons halfway, leading to death. Or if not dead, internal rot develops, new flesh grows slowly over months, causing immense hardship. Compared to enduring 10+ days of continuous needling versus death or extreme suffering, which is lighter? Regret will come too late. If the patient refuses needling, urgently moxa Qi Zhu Ma (EX-B3) 7 burns, miraculously effective.
Another method: Within the first three days of onset, use the fourth finger to collect saliva and smear it on the swelling continuously day and night, keeping it moist. Within 4-5 days, it will heal naturally. No herbal formula surpasses this.
For initial Yong, Ju, toxic swelling within three days, urgently moxa the swelling head 3-7 burns, natural healing. No formula surpasses this. Initially small like millet, people often ignore it; until toxicity erupts, it leads to death, regretting too late. If more than three days have passed, moxa Qi Zhu Ma (EX-B3) each 7 burns, miraculously effective.
For various Yong and Ju swellings that are neither itchy nor painful, with blue-black color, muscle necrosis occurs first, ultimately incurable. At onset, urgently moxa Qi Zhu Ma (EX-B3) each 7 burns.
Swelling at hairline, lips, or face is most critical and dangerous. Do not lightly incise. Must needle daily along meridians to drain toxicity. If needling is not possible, apply self-decaying medication to await pus rupture, and consume 5-6 Chan Kuai (Toad Meat Paste). Effective whether ruptured or not.
Back swelling also requires daily needling of relevant meridians for natural recovery. However, if poorly treated until pus matures, use a large needle to rupture beyond the red halo. Then take 6-7 large toads, make into paste, mix with ginger and mustard juice, and eat. Evil flesh will dissolve, new flesh will grow, bringing back life from death.
When back swelling presents as millet-sized lesions emerging randomly above the swelling, forming perforations, pressing with fingers causes pus to exude from holes; releasing pressure causes pus to return. This indicates mature pus. Use a large needle to rupture the edge of the red halo.
For any size swelling, regardless of duration, moxa Qi Zhu Ma (EX-B3) 7 burns, universally effective.
