Lung abscess (Fei Yong) may also cause pain in both hypochondriac regions; it should be referred to alongside lung diseases. White mustard seed (Baijiezi, 5 qian stir-fried) is ground into powder and taken with boiling water. It is effective regardless of whether the pain is on the left or right side.
Another prescription: Equal parts of Aurantium Fructus (Zhike) and roasted Licorice Root (Gancao) are ground into powder. Take 2 qian each time, mixed with light salt water. It is extremely effective.
Yet another prescription: Stir-fry 1 liang of Fennel Seed (Xiaohuixiang) and 5 qian of Aurantium Fructus (Zhike) stir-fried with flour. Grind them together into powder. Take 2 qian each time, mixed with salt and wine. It takes immediate effect.
Liuwei Dihuang Wan (Six-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia)
See various prescriptions for internal and external use. Add Eucommia Bark (Duzhong) and Dipsacus Root (Xuduan). They can be decocted for drinking or made into pills. If there is no improvement, use Bawei Dihuang Wan (Eight-Ingredient Pill with Rehmannia, see above), add Fennel Seed (Xiaohuixiang), and it will heal spontaneously.
Wash the intestine with hot vinegar. Even if the intestine protrudes for several days, it can be reduced. Use 5 qian of Taizhen Codonopsis (Zhen Taidangshen) and 5 qian of Goji Berry (Gouqi), decoct them strongly to make a thick soup, and pour it over the lesion. The skin will naturally close. Eat porridge cooked with sheep kidneys, and it will heal in ten days.
For those with redness and swelling, treat according to carbuncle-toxin (Yong Du). For those with pale color and flat collapse, treat according to yin-abscess (Yin Ju).
Take a small amount of salt, place it inside the ear of a white cow, then take the dirt from the cow's ear and apply it to the sore. It will heal immediately. If salt is not used, the cow's ear will not itch, and the dirt is difficult to obtain. Alternatively, distinguish between red and white types, and treat according to the respective methods for carbuncle-toxin and yin-abscess.
Stir-fry salt, wrap it in cloth, and apply heat compresses (I) to the affected area.
Refer to the sections on carbuncle-toxin and yin-abscess. Back carbuncle (Fa Bei) is a major affliction among carbuncles and ulcers because its location corresponds to the heart, lungs, and umbilicus. When it occurs on one side, it is called "Da Shou" (Hand-Reaching), named so because it can be reached by hand. If it presents with redness, swelling, and severe pain, it should be called back carbuncle (Bei Yong), which is easy to treat. If the lesion is pale with swelling and pain, treat it using the method for flowing deposits (Liu Zhu). If it is flat and painless, treat it using the method for yin-abscess (Yin Ju). These all belong to yin back carbuncle. If cold-natured medicines are mistakenly taken, cold plasters are mistakenly applied, or cooling pastes are mistakenly used, the toxin will inevitably attack the internal organs, leading to untreatable conditions. This is the secret method of Linwu Shanren.
4 liang of Ox Hide Glue (Niujiao) is steamed until melted, mixed with good wine for oral administration. For those who do not drink alcohol, mix with boiling water. Taking this at the initial stage prevents the toxin from attacking internally and spreading into malignant symptoms.
Another prescription: For lesions that have not yet suppurated, use one live toad (Laixama). Tie it to the upper part of the sore for half a day. The toad will die after absorbing the toxin. Place it in water, where it will revive after expelling the toxic gas. Replace it with another one, following the same method. After replacing three or four toads, the toxin will dissipate. This has been tested repeatedly with extreme efficacy. For severe cases, use one or two or three live toads, cut them open, and apply the whole body, including the belly, hot onto the sore. Soon, it will become unbearable due to odor. Replace it two or three times, and it will heal. This also treats all kinds of carbuncle-toxins, proving miraculous in repeated tests. One must abstain from eating toads for life.
