凡痈疽轻证初起，七日前后神灯照法最宜，能使未成者消，已成者溃，实有奇验。其法
用雄
许。以真麻油润透点照，离疮半寸许，自红晕外圈周遭徐徐照之，以渐照入疮口上，所谓自
外而内也。更须将捻猛向外提，以引毒瓦斯，使药气从火头上出，内透疮中则毒随气散，自
不内侵脏腑。初用三条，渐加至五、七条。疮热渐消，可渐减之。照罢随用后敷药，如大脓
已出，则不必敷药，只用膏药贴之。
敷药方
用车前草、 蔹草、金银花、五爪龙草各等分，鲜者捣烂加陈米粉两许，飞盐二、三分
，共
倘五爪龙草一时难得，即单用四味亦能奏功，不必一定拘执也。
其法令病患以手肘凭几而坐，男左女右，将手臂竖起要直，用竹篾一条自臂腕中曲处横
纹间
后用二人扛起，令病者脚不着地，仍使人扶定，勿令伛偻，却将前量臂篾，从竹杠上尾 骨
坐处，直贴脊背量至篾尽处记之。此取中之处，非灸穴也。又用薄篾量男左女右手中指节两
横纹处，截为同身寸法。将此寸篾即安前脊中点记处，两边各开一寸尽处即是灸穴。各灸
五、七壮，疽发左则灸右，疽发右则灸左，两边俱甚则左右皆灸。此穴乃心脉所过之处。凡
痈疽皆心火留滞，灸此则心脉流通，则毒自散矣，有起死回生之功。屡效。
凡痈疽（中医外科病名，泛指一切体表化脓性感染）轻证初起时，在发病七日前后使用神灯照法最为适宜，能使尚未成脓的消散，已经成脓的溃破，确有奇效。其方法是：取雄黄少许。用纯正麻油浸透药捻并点燃进行照射，距离疮口约半寸，从红晕的外圈周围徐徐照射，逐渐向疮口中心照入，这就是所谓“由外而内”。同时必须将药捻猛烈向外提动，以引出毒气，使药气从火头处散发出来，向内透入疮中则毒随气散，自然不致内侵脏腑。开始时用三条药捻，逐渐增加至五、七条。待疮部热象逐渐消退，可逐渐减少药捻数量。照射完毕后随即敷用以下药物，如果大脓已经排出，则不必敷药，只用膏药贴敷即可。
敷药方：用车前草、白蔹草、金银花、五爪龙草各等分，鲜品捣烂加入陈年米粉约一两，飞盐二、三分，共同调匀。倘若一时难以找到五爪龙草，即单用其余四味也能奏效，不必一定拘泥执着。
骑竹马灸法的操作要领是：让病患用手肘支撑在几案上坐好，男性取左侧，女性取右侧，将手臂竖起保持笔直。用一条竹篾从臂腕中间的横纹处横向截取一段。然后由两人抬起竹杠，令病患双脚不着地，仍派人扶定身体，不要使其弯腰驼背。接着将之前量好的那段竹篾，从竹杠上尾骨坐着的位置，直贴脊背量至竹篾尽头处做记号。这是取其中的位置，并非直接的灸穴。再用薄竹篾量取男左女右手中指节两个横纹处的长度，截断作为同身寸的标准。将此寸量的竹篾安放在刚才脊背中间点的记号处，向两边各延伸一寸尽头的地方就是灸穴。每个穴位各灸五、七壮，疽发在左边则灸右边，疽发在右边则灸左边，两边都严重则左右皆灸。此穴乃是心脉经过的地方。凡是痈疽都是心火留滞所致，灸此穴则心脉流通，毒气自然消散，有起死回生的功效。屡试屡验。
For mild cases of carbuncle and ulcer (general term for all superficial purulent infections in TCM surgery) at the initial stage, within seven days before or after onset, the Shen Deng Zhao Fa (Divine Lamp Illumination Method) is most appropriate. It can cause those not yet suppurated to resolve and those already suppurated to ulcerate, with remarkable efficacy. The method involves using a small amount of Xionghuang (Realgar). Moisten a herbal roll thoroughly with pure Sesame Oil (Semen Sesami), ignite it, and illuminate the lesion from a distance of approximately half an inch. Start illuminating slowly around the outer circumference of the erythema, gradually moving inward toward the center of the wound, which is referred to as "from outside to inside." Simultaneously, vigorously lift the roll outward to draw out toxic vapors, allowing the medicinal qi to disperse from the flame head. If the medicinal qi penetrates inward into the wound, the toxin will dissipate with the qi and naturally avoid invading the Zang-Fu organs (internal organs). Initially use three rolls, gradually increasing to five or seven. As the heat in the lesion subsides, gradually reduce the number of rolls. After illumination, apply the following topical medicine immediately. If abundant pus has been discharged, no topical medicine is needed; simply apply a plaster.
Topical Medicine Formula: Use equal parts of Cheqiancao (Plantain Herb), Bai Lian Cao (Ampelopsis Rhizome), Jinyinhua (Honeysuckle Flower), and Wuzhao Long Cao (Paederia Scandens Herb). Mash fresh herbs and add approximately one tael of aged rice flour and two to three fen of Feiyan (Refined Salt). Mix well together. If Wuzhao Long Cao is difficult to obtain at the time, using only the other four ingredients is also effective; there is no need to be rigidly attached to this specific formula.
The operational principle of Qi Zhu Ma Jiu Fa (Riding Bamboo Horse Moxibustion) is as follows: Have the patient sit with elbows supported on a table, selecting the left side for males and the right side for females, keeping the arm upright and straight. Cut a strip of bamboo from the transverse crease at the middle of the wrist. Then, have two people lift a bamboo pole so that the patient's feet do not touch the ground, while ensuring someone supports the body to prevent stooping. Place the previously measured bamboo strip against the spine, starting from the coccyx area where one sits, extending straight up along the back to the end of the strip, and mark the spot. This marks the midpoint, which is not the direct moxibustion point. Next, measure the length of the two transverse creases of the middle finger of the left hand for males and the right hand for females using a thin bamboo strip, cutting it off to serve as the standard for "Same-Body Cun" (a proportional measurement unit based on the patient's own body dimensions). Place this cun-measured strip at the marked midpoint on the spine. The points located one cun away to both sides from this center mark are the moxibustion points. Apply five to seven moxa cones (Zhuang) to each point. If the carbuncle/ulcer appears on the left, moxa the right side; if on the right, moxa the left side. If severe on both sides, moxa both left and right. This point lies along the pathway of the Heart Meridian (Xin Mai). All carbuncles and ulcers are caused by stagnation of Heart Fire. Moxibustion at this point promotes the flow of the Heart Meridian, causing the toxin to dissipate naturally, possessing the power to revive the dying. It has proven effective repeatedly.
