【方歌】各种刺入肉中的情况属于外伤,将蝼蛄捣碎后涂抹患处最为有效。如果刺已经取出但伤口仍然疼痛,再次涂抹蝼蛄即可消除不适。
【注】各种异物刺入肌肉,属于外伤类的病证。对于质地较软且刺入较浅的,可以用针挑拨取出;对于质地坚硬且刺入较深的,可以将蝼蛄捣烂后涂抹在伤口上,片刻之后异物即可排出。如果异物已经取出但伤口仍然感到疼痛,再次涂抹蝼蛄就能痊愈。
【方歌】皮肉破损导致风邪从外部侵入,起初感觉牙关紧闭无法张开,严重时身体呈角弓反张的姿态,口吐涎沫、四肢抽搐,发作没有休止的时候。需要仔细辨别是由动、静、惊、疮溃四种原因引起的破伤风:若出现下陷、收缩、神志昏迷、不能言语的症状则预后凶险。病邪在表应当用发汗法,在里应当用泻下法,在半表半里之间则用调和法。
【注】这种病症是由于皮肉破损,风邪侵袭经络所致。初起时先发冷发热,牙关紧急紧闭,严重时身体像角弓反张一样弯曲,口吐涎沫,四肢抽搐,没有安宁的时候,甚至不省人事,伤口处感觉锈涩僵硬。然而破伤风有四种成因:因动受风、因静受风、因惊受风、疮口溃破后受风,这些情况都可能感染风邪。因动而受风的,是因为愤怒导致气机上逆,人处于跳跃活动状态,皮肉被触碰破裂,虽然受到风邪伤害,但风邪停留在体表,因为气血旺盛鼓动,风邪不会深入体内,属于轻症。因静而受风的,是在起居平和之时,气血没有充盛鼓动,偶然被破伤,风邪容易侵入体内,属于重症。因惊而受风的,是因为惊吓导致气机下陷,偶然受伤破裂,风邪随着气机直接陷入阴分,多导致死亡,属于逆证。如果风邪传入阴经,则身体发凉、自汗,伤口反而感觉平塌陷缩,严重时神志昏迷、不能言语、嘴唇紧缩舌头卷曲,这种证候贵在早期治疗,应当分辨风邪是在表、在里,还是半表半里,从而施以汗、下、和三种治法。如邪气在表的,表现为寒热、拘急、牙关紧闭咬牙,适宜服用千里奔散,或者雄鼠散发汗;随后频繁服用蜈蚣星风散,以追出尽臭汗。如邪气在里的,表现为惊恐兼抽搐、脏腑秘结不通,适宜用江鳔丸泻下。如邪气在半表半里,无汗的适宜用羌麻汤主治;如果只有头部出汗而身体无汗的,不可再发汗,适宜用榆丁散调和。如果自汗不止,大小便不通且颜色红赤的,适宜用大芎黄汤主治。又有因发表(发汗)太过,虽然脏腑调和,但自汗不止的,适宜服用防风当归散。发表之后,表热仍不止的,适宜服用小芎黄汤。攻里(泻下)之后,里热仍不止的,适宜服用栝蒌石汤。如果受伤时出血过多,不可再发汗,适宜用当归地黄汤主治。
至于生疮溃破后受风的,是因为生疮溃破后伤口未愈合,缺乏调护,风邪乘虚侵入疮口,先从疮口周围起粟粒状皮疹并感到瘙痒,重则牙关紧闭、颈部软弱下垂视物,不宜发汗,误用发汗法会导致人变成痉病。应当用参归养荣汤,加入僵蚕为主药,先固护根本,风邪自然平息。如果手足颤抖不停止的,适宜用朱砂指甲散主治。如果痰多、抽搐且身体发凉的,适宜用黑花蛇散主治。外治的方法,遇到刚破伤的一两天内,应当使用灸法,令其出汗,风邪才能解除。如果天数已久,就禁止使用灸法,适宜用羊尾油煮至微熟,用绢布包裹趁热熨烫破损处,多次更换以拔尽风邪,未尽者第二天再熨烫,同时配合漱口水清洗,每天敷贴玉真散,直到破口不再生锈涩感并开始生脓时,换贴生肌玉红膏,缓缓收敛。
按语:刘完素只论述了三阳经的汗、下、和三种治法,而不论述三阴经的情况,大概是因为风邪传入阴经后,病情已经危重,如腹部胀满、自利、口燥咽干、舌卷囊缩等证候,都是没有生机可救的,所以省略不讨论。

又方:生肌玉红膏(见溃疡门)
[Formula Song] Various cases of foreign bodies penetrating the flesh belong to external injuries. The most effective treatment is to crush and apply mole (Lougu) topically. If pain persists after the foreign body has been removed, applying mole again will alleviate the discomfort.
[Annotation] Foreign bodies penetrating the muscle constitute a category of external injury. For those that are soft and shallow, they can be extracted using a needle. For those that are hard and deep, crushed mole should be applied to the wound; the foreign body will be expelled shortly thereafter. If pain persists after extraction, reapplying mole will lead to recovery.
[Formula Song] Skin and flesh damage allowing wind pathogen to invade externally initially presents with trismus (lockjaw). Severe cases exhibit opisthotonos (arched back), salivation, and frequent convulsions without relief. One must carefully distinguish between four causes: movement, stillness, fright, and post-ulceration. Symptoms such as sinking, contraction, coma, and muteness indicate a poor prognosis. When the pathogen is in the Exterior, sweating method is indicated; when in the Interior, purgative method is indicated; when in the Half-Exterior Half-Interior, harmonizing method is indicated.
[Annotation] This condition arises from skin or flesh trauma where wind pathogen invades the meridians. Initially, there is chills and fever, followed by trismus. In severe cases, the body assumes an opisthotonos posture, with salivation, limb convulsions, loss of consciousness, and a rusty/stiff sensation at the wound site. There are four etiologies for traumatic tetanus: due to movement, stillness, fright, or ulceration.
1. Due to movement: Anger causes Qi to rise; jumping/activity leads to skin/flesh rupture. Wind remains in the Exterior because vigorous Qi prevents deep invasion; this is mild.
2. Due to stillness: Peaceful state with non-vigorous Qi allows wind to easily enter the Interior upon minor trauma; this is severe.
3. Due to fright: Fright causes Qi to sink; wind follows Qi directly into the Yin levels, often fatal; this is adverse.
4. If wind enters the Yin meridians: Body becomes cold with spontaneous sweating, wound appears flat/sunken, coma, muteness, lip curling, and tongue retraction. Early treatment is crucial. Differentiate whether wind is in the Exterior, Interior, or Half-Exterior/Half-Interior to apply sweating, purgative, or harmonizing methods respectively.
- Pathogen in Exterior: Chills, fever, stiffness, trismus. Use Qianli Bensan (Thousand-Mile Running Powder) or Xiongshu San (Male Rat Powder) to induce sweating. Follow with Wugong Xingfeng San (Centipede, Aconite, and Wind Powder) frequently to expel foul sweat.
- Pathogen in Interior: Fright with convulsions, constipation. Use Jiangbiao Wan (Fish Swim Bladder Pill) to purge.
- Pathogen in Half-Exterior/Half-Interior: No sweat, use Qiangma Tang (Notopterygium and Ephedra Decoction). Head sweat only, no body sweat: do not sweat; use Yuding San (Sanguisorba and Violet Powder) to harmonize. Spontaneous sweating with dry/red urine/stool: use Da Xionghuang Tang (Large Ligusticum and Rhubarb Decoction).
- Over-sweating leading to persistent sweating despite harmonized Zang-Fu: Use Fangfeng Danggui San (Saposhnikovia and Angelica Powder).
- Persistent exterior heat after sweating: Use Xiao Xionghuang Tang (Small Ligusticum and Scutellaria Decoction).
- Persistent interior heat after purging: Use Guashi Tang (Trichosanthes and Talcum Decoction).
- Excessive blood loss at injury: Do not sweat; use Danggui Dihuang Tang (Angelica and Rehmannia Decoction).
For wind invasion after ulceration: Unhealed ulcers allow wind to enter via deficiency. Initial symptoms include millet-like rash and itching around the wound. Severe cases show trismus, neck weakness, and downward gaze. Sweating is contraindicated as it may cause spasms. Use Shengui Yangrong Tang (Ginseng and Angelica Nourishing Nutrient Decoction) with Tan-She (Bombyx Batryticatus) to secure the root and settle wind. For persistent tremors: Zhusha Zhijia San (Cinnabar and Nail Powder). For phlegm, convulsions, and cold body: Hei Huashe San (Black Flower Snake Powder).
External treatment: Within 1-2 days of injury, moxibustion is used to induce sweating and resolve wind. After several days, moxibustion is forbidden. Boil sheep tail fat until slightly cooked, wrap in silk, and apply hot compress to the wound repeatedly to extract wind. Rinse with mouthwash. Apply Yuzhen San (Jade True Powder) daily until the wound stops feeling rusty and pus forms, then switch to Shengji Yuhong Gao (Flesh-Generating Jade Red Ointment) for gradual healing.
Commentary: Liu Wansu discussed sweating, purging, and harmonizing for the Three Yang meridians but omitted the Three Yin meridians. This is because wind entering Yin meridians indicates critical illness (e.g., abdominal fullness, diarrhea, dry mouth/throat, curled tongue, contracted scrotum), which is incurable; thus, it was excluded.
