On the first day, the head feels as heavy as a mountain; on the second day, it turns cyanotic and purplish; by the third day, the cyanosis spreads to the chest and heart region, leading to death.
This condition may arise from long-term consumption of aphrodisiacs (Spring Formula medicines) or from eating fried, roasted, and strongly flavored foods.
At the onset, use two jin (approx. 1 kg) of *Jinyinhua* (*Lonicerae Japonicae Flos*), decoct in water, and drink dozens of bowls to slightly alleviate the toxicity.
However, the sores will inevitably ulcerate. Subsequently, use three liang (approx. 112 g) each of *Jinyinhua* (*Lonicerae Japonicae Flos*) and *Yuanshen* (*Scrophulariae Radix*), two liang (approx. 75 g) of *Danggui* (*Angelicae Sinensis Radix*), and one liang (approx. 37.5 g) of *Gancao* (*Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma*). Decoct in water and take one dose daily. The wound will heal after seven days.
Additionally, sores on the fingers of hands and feet are often incurable, but this method can also be applied.

In one case, red sores suddenly appeared on both temples. After scratching them open with hands, bleeding continued like a thread.
Applying a thick slice of lean pork to the affected area stopped the bleeding immediately.
Alternatively, using *Chansanjia* (*Manis Squama*, specifically scales from the tail), stir-fried and ground into fine powder, applied topically, also stopped the bleeding.
Internally administering *Yuanmai Dihuang Tang* (see *Neiwai Beiyong Zhufang*) led to recovery.

Sores frequently appear about one cun below the hairline behind the ears. They are painless upon pressure. Puncture with a needle, squeeze out all pus and necrotic tissue, and apply flesh-regenerating medicine for spontaneous healing.

Equal parts of *Heizhimai Geng* (*Semen Sesami Nigrum Caulis*) and *Liuzhi* (*Salix Twig*) are boiled to wash the hair, promoting hair growth and moisture.
Women soaking these two ingredients in oil to apply to the hair yields even better results.
Washing the hair of children with sparse hair with this solution also promotes growth.
Another prescription: *Hanliancao* (*Ecliptae Herba*, also known as Motou, Modou, Modong), crushed and applied topically, promotes dense and abundant hair growth.
Yet another prescription: Take a large handful of tender *Zaoshupi* (*Ziziphus Jujuba Cortex*), cut into lengths of over one chi, insert vertically into a clean porcelain bottle without touching the bottom, ignite the top, and collect the juice flowing from the bottom. First wash the hair with warm water, then apply the jujube bark juice to the scalp to stimulate hair growth.

Three *Feizi* (*Torreya Semen*), two *Hetao* (*Juglans Semen*, also known as Hutaoren), and one liang (approx. 37.5 g) of *Cebaiye* (*Platycladi Cacumen*) are crushed into a paste, soaked in snow water, and used to comb the hair. This prevents hair loss and...
*Sangye* (*Mori Folium*) and *Maye* (*Bombycis Batryticatus Leaf? Note: Maye usually refers to Cannabis leaf or Mulberry leaf contextually, here likely Cannabis or similar, but WHO standard for Sangye is Mori Folium. Maye is not a standard WHO term, often interpreted as Cannabis Sativa Leaf or similar local herb. Given context of washing, likely Cannabis or Mulberry. Let's stick to literal translation if unsure, but "Maye" is often *Cannabis Fructus* or leaf. However, in hair contexts, sometimes *Cannabis* is used. Let's use *Maye* (*Cannabis Leaf* or similar) or just transliterate if ambiguous. Actually, in TCM hair formulas, *Sangye* and *Maye* (often *Cannabis sativa* leaf or fruit husk) are used. Let's use *Maye* (*Cannabis Leaf*) with caution. Or simply *Maye*. WHO doesn't have a specific entry for "Maye". I will use *Maye* (*Cannabis Leaf*) noting the ambiguity, or better, *Maye* (*Cannabis Sativa Leaf*). Wait, *Maye* can also refer to *Broussonetia papyrifera* leaf? No. In hair growth, *Sangye* and *Maye* are common. I will use *Maye* (*Cannabis Leaf*).
Wash with the decoction made by boiling these in rice-washing water. After seven washes, hair can grow several inches.

One jin (approx. 500 g) of fresh *Cebaiye* (*Platycladi Cacumen*) is ground into powder, mixed with lard to form pills the size of marbles. Use one pill daily, dissolve in rice-washing water to wash the head. After one month, the hair becomes black and glossy.
