For those who have suffered severe falls, crush injuries, or pressure trauma, if there is bleeding from the mouth, nose, and ears, accompanied by coma and unconsciousness, as long as the body remains soft, they can be saved. It is strictly forbidden to have a crowd making noise around them. Only allow relatives to call out to and support the patient, having them sit on the ground, holding them tightly to stabilize them, bending their limbs in a posture similar to a monk's meditation. Immediately administer hot urine from a young boy (horse urine is even better) orally, or mix white sugar with hot wine for oral administration (mixing with water is also acceptable), which is particularly miraculous. If one to two cups can be forcibly swallowed into the throat, the effect is even better. Then gently move the patient into one's arms, carry them indoors, and maintain the sitting position as before. Use the foot to firmly press against the anus. For female patients, press against both the anus and the vulva to prevent Qi from leaking downwards, which could lead to death. Cover the window frames so that the room is dark. Meanwhile, refer to the previous formulas and select the simplest ones for use. In cases of severe injury, there will inevitably be much blood stasis; using the previously mentioned Danggui Tang (Angelica Sinensis Decoction) and White Sugar Drink is especially effective. Other simple and easily accessible formulas may be used concurrently. Under no circumstances should one induce defecation urgently, lest Qi collapse and cause death. One must wait until there are sounds of movement in the abdomen, moving up and down several times, and when the urgency cannot be waited for any longer, then allow defecation. The excreted material will be entirely purple-black blood, indicating that the toxin has been expelled. Only then can the patient be allowed to sleep. If blood stasis is not yet fully resolved, Danggui Tang and White Sugar Drink are particularly suitable for frequent consumption.

Regarding all types of fractures, dislocations, falls from heights, crushing by falling wood or stones, or falling from horses or carriages, resulting in stagnant blood stasis and near-death due to Qi exhaustion: in emergencies without medicine, urgently administer hot urine to prevent evil blood from attacking the heart. Taking white sugar is also excellent. Additionally, take several sheng (a unit of volume) of yellow earth dug from three chi (approx. 1 meter) underground, crush it, steam it in a steamer until hot, wrap it securely in old cloth to make two packs, and alternately apply these packs to the injured area several times until pain ceases and swelling subsides. However, do not make them too hot, lest they damage the skin and flesh.

Longan seeds: Remove the smooth outer skin and do not use it. Grind the seed into an extremely fine powder and sprinkle it onto the wound to stop pain and bleeding immediately. This is an emergency rescue formula from the military camp in Balikun, Western Qin region, and is highly effective. If the patient feels thirsty, they must not drink water; instead, consume greasy food to quench thirst. Porridge is strictly forbidden, as eating it will cause blood to gush out and lead to death. Alternatively, using the previously mentioned Yuzhen San (Jade True Powder) is best.

Another formula: Leaves of Oriza japonica var. odorata (Zhu Lan leaf / Pearl Orchid Leaf) are even better. Crush and mash the leaves and apply them to the wound; this will immediately close the wound and set bones. For wide wounds, add a small amount of white salt. Do not use salt for the second application. The efficacy is extraordinary, surpassing other formulas.

Another formula: Take the leaves of Rosa chinensis (Chinese Rose / Monthly Red), crush and mash them, and apply to the wound. This immediately stops bleeding and reduces swelling; even severed tendons can heal rapidly.

Another formula: Mix equal parts of scallion white (Cong Bai) and white sugar, crush and grind into a paste, and apply to the wound. Pain stops immediately. It also prevents scarring and has proven miraculous through repeated trials.

Another formula: Apply raw Pinellia ternata (Sheng Banxia) powder to the wound. It stops pain and bleeding immediately and facilitates wound closure.

Another formula: Mix raw Rosin (Sheng Songxiang) and cooked Rosin (Shu Songxiang) evenly and apply to the wound for immediate healing. Adding raw Pinellia ternata powder is also an option. This is a military camp emergency formula.

Another formula: Chew old ginger until mashed and apply to the wound. After a few days, recovery will be normal. This formula has proven reliable repeatedly and ensures protection against wind pathogens. However, the application causes extreme pain, which must be endured for a short while.

Another formula: Apply pepper powder to the wound. Not only does it promote rapid healing, but it also prevents tendon retraction/shrinkage. Enduring the pain guarantees effectiveness.

Another formula: Collect wild hemp leaves after the Dragon Boat Festival, remove the veins, and beat/crush them into a cotton-like consistency. Apply to open wounds to immediately stop bleeding and form scabs. The later-mentioned "White Charcoal for Bone Setting" formula is also effective for treating open wounds.
