In an emergency, grasp the affected area tightly with both hands. Take a rooster weighing approximately ten liang, cut it open retaining the feathers, remove the internal organs, fill the abdominal cavity with one qian of Moschus (Shexiang, 麝香), and place it covering the umbilicus. The condition will be cured immediately.
Radix Chuanxiong (Chuanxiong, 川芎) and Radix Angelicae Sinensis (Danggui, 当归), each four liang. Decoct in water using a pottery vessel and take frequently. Additionally, take one jin each of Radix Chuanxiong and Radix Angelicae Sinensis, cut into large pieces, and smolder slowly over a stove. Place the patient under a table so that the smoke is continuous. Instruct the patient to lean on the table and inhale the smoke through both nostrils and breasts continuously. If the medication is exhausted without full recovery, continue decocting and fumigating as before until safe. If two doses have been used and although the breasts retract upward they do not return to normal, grind one seed of Ricini Semen (Bimazi, 蓖麻子) with cold water and apply it to the center of the vertex (Baihui, 百会). Wash it off once the breast retraction resolves.

Wearing it will cure the condition. This method is most effective when applied at the onset.

Another prescription: After taking the internal medicine externally, comb around the breast circumference more than four hundred times with a wooden comb. Patency will be achieved.
