For any bite wounds that fail to heal over a long period, the second formula for human bites—Gancao (Licorice Root) [Radix Glycyrrhizae]—should be used, which is extremely effective.

Human bites are particularly toxic. If yellowish dental plaque enters the flesh, the pain is unbearable. Bites on the fingers may cause the finger and palm to gradually rot and fall off; if left untreated for years, they are difficult to heal, and severe cases can be fatal. Regardless of whether the injury is fresh or chronic, even if swelling and rotting have occurred, it is essential to first clean the wound with fresh urine from a healthy child (rice-washing water may also be used) to remove dirt and blood...

Another formula: After cleaning as described above, chew Gancao (Licorice Root) [Radix Glycyrrhizae] until it becomes a thick paste and apply it to the wound. Replace it whenever it dries, day and night without interruption. It will definitely heal in three days. This has been tested repeatedly with miraculous results. It is also effective for bites from various animals. For example, someone bitten by a rat on the finger had not healed for years; after cleaning and applying this treatment, it healed in three days. Truly a miraculous formula.

Another formula: Burn Biejia (Tartaric Turtle Shell) [Testudinis Carapax et Plastrum] into ash and apply it to the wound. This yields miraculous effects.

Another formula: First clean with fresh urine from a healthy child. Then, roast Litchi He (Litchi Seed) [Litchi Semen], grind it into a fine powder, sift it, and sprinkle it onto the wound. Cover the outside with Litchi Rou (Litchi Flesh) [Litchi Arillus]. Even if the wound gets wet, it will not rot. The effect is extremely good.

Another formula: Take one high-quality Shibi (Persimmon Cake) [Diospyri Fructus Praeparatus]. Have the patient rinse their mouth thoroughly. Chew the persimmon cake until it is mashed, place it in a bowl, and steam it over a rice cooker until it is extremely soft. Apply this mash to the wound. Full recovery occurs within three days. This has been effective on many people. However, one must first clean the dirty blood with fresh urine from a healthy child for the treatment to work.

When bitten by a tiger, blood flows heavily, and the wound ulcerates immediately with excruciating pain. Immediately apply fresh pork to the wound; it melts upon contact, so replace it as it melts. Quickly take Diyü (Sanguisorba Root) [Sanguisorbae Radix], one jin (approx. 500g), grind it into a fine powder, add Sanqi (Notoginseng Root) [Panacis Quinquefolii Radix] powder, three liang (approx. 90g), and Kushen (Sophora Root) [Sophorae Flavescentis Radix] powder, four liang (approx. 120g). Mix evenly and sprinkle onto the wound. Reapply as the area becomes moist. Bleeding stops immediately, and pain subsides. This is because Diyü cools the blood, Kushen relieves pain, and Sanqi stops bleeding. Combining the strengths of these three herbs yields miraculous results.

Another formula: Chew fresh leaves of Zhangshu (Camphor Tree) [Cinnamomi Camphora Folium] and swallow them, and also chew the leaves to make a paste to apply to the wound. There will be no aftereffects.

Another formula: Drink alcohol until completely drunk. When hair-like spines are vomited out, the patient will recover. Alternatively, consume large amounts of Baishatang (White Rock Sugar) [Saccharum] mixed with water. This is extremely effective.

Another formula: Take Songmao (Pine Needles) [Pinus Massoniana Folium], pound them into a mud-like consistency, and stuff the wound completely. This is extremely effective.

Another formula: Crush Jiucai Bai (White part of Chinese Chive) [Allii Tuberosi Bulbus], extract the juice, drink it, and apply the residue to the wound.

Another formula: Internally consume Shengjiang Zhi (Ginger Juice) [Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens Sucus]. Externally, wash the wound with ginger juice, then apply Baifan (Alumen) [Alumen] powder to the wound.
