用蜞（一种水蛭）针刺并吮吸出血。这种方法只适用于轻微细小的病症。如果毒素积聚在脏腑内部，仅仅通过体外放血只会耗竭血液，对体外并无益处。有一个两岁的孩子患赤斑疹（皮肤出现红色斑块或皮疹），有人取几条大蜞来吮吸其血液，虽然皮疹消退了，但我当时就说：“这不是正确的治疗方法。”三天后孩子因高热而死。这是因为血液被过度流失，导致气无法单独依附生存的缘故。
金银花酒：新鲜采摘金银花的藤叶一把，放入瓷器中捣烂研碎，加入少许白酒，调和至稀稠适度。涂抹在患处周围，中心部位留出以便毒气排出。（另一种方法）取五两藤茎，用木杵槌碎，配伍一两生甘草节。将这两味药放入砂瓶中，加水两碗，先用武火后用文火煎煮至剩下一碗药液。加入一碗无灰酒（指未掺假、纯度较高的酒），再煮沸十余次。滤去药渣，分三次温服。药渣外敷于患处。一天一夜内喝完一剂。如果病情严重，则日夜各服一剂。直到大小便通畅有利，说明药力已经到达病所。也可以使用干品，但终究不如鲜品药效强大且迅速。或者仅用藤茎五六两，捣烂后加入一杯热酒，绞取汁液，温酒送服。药渣外敷患处。服用四五次即可痊愈。这种藤蔓缠绕附着在树木上，或者生长在园圃墙垣之上。藤茎呈方形且紫色，叶子像薜荔一样青绿。三月间开花，气味微香，花蒂带黄色。花朵初开时颜色洁白，经过一两天后变为黄色，所以又被称为金银花。又名鹭鸶藤、金钗股、老翁须。因为藤蔓向左缠绕，所以又名左缠。它凌冬不凋谢，所以又名忍冬。各地都有生长。治疗痈疽、发背、乳痈等症。初期发病应当服用此方。无论疽疮发生在何处，都有奇效。配合麦饭石膏、神异膏贴敷，效果更佳。
槐花酒：槐花四五两，炒至微黄。趁热加入两杯酒，煮沸十余次。滤去药渣，热服。脓未成者服用二三剂，脓已成者服用一二剂。有一人大腿患毒疮疼痛剧烈，服用消毒药物后症状不减，饮用槐花酒一剂后，邪气随即大幅减退。再服用托里消毒药而痊愈。有一人患发背十余日，病情危急，脉象洪大。先饮用槐花酒两剂以遏制病势，待病势退去后再服用败毒散两剂，以及数剂托里药。逐渐溃破。又用桑柴燃烧灸治患处，每天灸治很长时间，仍然用膏药贴敷。灸治数次后，脓液溃出，腐肉脱落，再用托里药中的白术、陈皮等调理，一个多月后痊愈。有一人患肩疽，脉象数急。服用槐花酒一剂，病势顿时减退。随后给予金银花、黄芪、甘草等药十余剂而平复。
大体而言，对于肿毒，如果不先用蒜灸及饮用槐花酒来去除毒邪，即使服用托里诸药，疗效未必很快。槐花治疗湿热之功最为神速，但胃寒之人不宜过量服用。
Sucking blood with leeches. This method can be applied to mild and minor conditions. If accumulated toxins reside in the zang-fu organs, merely depleting blood externally is of no benefit. A two-year-old child suffered from red macules (red patches on the skin). Several large leeches were used to suck out the blood, and the macules subsided. I said, "This is not proper treatment." Three days later, the child died of high fever. This is because when blood is lost, qi cannot exist independently.
Jinyinhua Wine: Take a handful of fresh Jinyinhua (Lonicera japonica) vines and leaves, pound them thoroughly in a porcelain vessel. Add a small amount of white wine, mix until the consistency is appropriate. Apply around the periphery of the lesion, leaving the center open to allow the discharge of toxic vapors. (Another method): Take five liang of vines, crush them with a wooden mortar. Combine with one liang of raw Gancao (Licorice Root) nodes. Place these two ingredients in a clay pot with two bowls of water. Decoct using strong fire initially and then weak fire until reduced to one bowl. Add one bowl of pure wine, boil for more than ten times. Strain the dregs. Divide into three doses and take warm. Apply the dregs to the affected area. Consume one dose within a day and night. If the condition is severe, administer two doses per day and night. Continue until urination and defecation become smooth, indicating that the medicinal power has reached the site. Dried herbs may also be used, but they are ultimately less potent and slower-acting than fresh ones. Alternatively, use only five or six liang of vines, crush them, add one cup of hot wine, squeeze out the juice, and take it warm with wine. Apply the dregs to the affected area. The condition will resolve after four or five doses. These vines creep and attach to trees or grow on garden walls. The stems are square and purple; the leaves resemble those of Ficus pumila (Creeping Fig) and are green. In March, flowers bloom with a slight fragrance; the calyx is yellow. The flowers are initially white, turning yellow after one or two days, hence the name Jinyinhua (Gold and Silver Flower). It is also known as Lusi Teng (Egret Vine), Jinchaigu (Golden Hairpin Thigh), Laowengxu (Old Man's Beard). Because the vine winds to the left, it is also called Zuochan (Left-Winding). It does not wither in winter, hence also called Rendong (Enduring Winter). It is found everywhere. It treats carbuncles, back abscesses, and breast abscesses. At the initial stage, this formula should be taken. Regardless of where the carbuncle occurs, it has miraculous effects. Combined with Maifanshi Gao (Maifan Stone Plaster) and Shenyi Gao (Miraculous Efficacy Plaster) applied topically, the effect is even better.
Huaihua Wine: Take four or five liang of Huaihua (Sophora Flower), stir-fry until slightly yellow. While hot, add two cups of wine, boil for more than ten rolls. Strain the dregs and take warm. For unformed pus, take two or three doses; for formed pus, take one or two doses. One person had a toxic sore on the thigh with severe pain. After taking detoxifying medicines without relief, one dose of Huaihua Wine caused the pathogenic factor to significantly subside. Subsequently, taking Toli Xiaodu Yao (Supporting Interior and Detoxifying Medicine) led to recovery. Another person had a back abscess for over ten days, with a critical condition and a large pulse. First, two doses of Huaihua Wine were taken to suppress the pathogenic force. After the force receded, two doses of Baidu San (Detoxification Powder) and several doses of interior-supporting medicines were administered. Gradually, it ulcerated. Additionally, moxibustion with mulberry wood branches was applied to the affected area for a long time daily, followed by plaster application. After several sessions of moxibustion, pus discharged and necrotic tissue fell off. Treatment with interior-supporting medicines containing Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome) and Chenpi (Tangerine Peel) led to recovery after more than a month. Another person had a shoulder carbuncle with a rapid pulse. One dose of Huaihua Wine immediately reduced the condition. Subsequently, taking Jinyinhua (Lonicera japonica), Huangqi (Astragalus Root), and Gancao (Licorice Root) for more than ten doses resolved the issue.
Generally speaking, for swelling and toxicity, if one does not first remove the toxin using garlic moxibustion and drinking Huaihua Wine, even if interior-supporting medicines are taken, the efficacy may not be very rapid. Huaihua is most swift in treating damp-heat. However, individuals with cold stomachs should not take excessive doses.
