自刎救法 自刎者，迅速之症，须救在早，迟则额冷气绝，必难救矣。初刎时，气未绝，身未冷，急用活鸡一
二只，扯下热鸡皮，冷则无用。将线缝刀口，周遭缠护，用软绢帛并棉花扎之外，将女人旧布裹脚，周遭再缠五六转，
勿使泄气，其中自然合一，令刎者仰卧、以高枕枕脑后使头郁而不直，刀口不开。三日后，解去前药，用桃花散掺刀口，
或玉红丹敷患处，外用生肌长肉大膏药贴之，仍以绢帛围裹，针线缝紧，候其肉长收功。（《江苏胡臬台刊传方》）
附∶桃花散方 锻石（二升） 大黄（四两，切片） 同炒，候锻石变红色，检去大黄，筛极细末，收贮瓶内，
过月余，去火气，然后应用。

用刀自刎 一人因角口，用刀自刎，伤长二寸余，食嗓半断，伤口冒血痛甚，在地滚跌，不能敷药。因缚其手
足，令卧凉地，用枕垫其首，使伤口渐合，即敷“铁扇散” 之，少顷血凝，半日后汤饮如常，三日而愈。（《金疮铁
扇散医案》）
剃刀自刎 一人因角口忿激，用剃刀自刎，食喉半断，喘气伤口俱有血泡。盖喉间之气已伤于伤口也。用散药
敷之， 少顷，血即凝，两日全愈。（同上）
自刎急救法：自刎是一种病情发展迅速的急症，必须尽早施救，若拖延则会导致额头发冷、气息断绝，必定难以救活。刚发生自刎时，如果患者气息未绝、身体尚未变冷，应立即取活鸡一两只，撕下尚有余温的鸡皮，若鸡皮变冷则无效。用丝线缝合刀口，并在周围缠绕保护，再用柔软的绢帛和棉花包扎外部；接着用妇女旧时的裹脚布在周围再缠绕五六圈，防止漏气，伤口自然会愈合。让自刎者仰卧，用高枕头垫在后脑勺处，使头部保持屈曲状态而不挺直，从而保证刀口不张开。三天后，解开之前的药物，在刀口上撒桃花散，或者涂抹玉红丹，外部贴上生肌长肉的大膏药，仍然用绢帛包裹，并用针线缝紧，等待肌肉生长收口。（出自《江苏胡臬台刊传方》）
附：桃花散方剂组成：锻石（二升）、大黄（四两，切片），两者同炒，待锻石变为红色时，拣去大黄，筛成极细粉末，装入瓶中收藏，存放一个多月以去除火气，然后方可应用。
玉红丹方剂组成：黄丹（二钱，炒制）、白龙骨（二钱，煅制）、石膏（三钱，煅制），共同研成细末，装入瓶中备用。
生肌长肉膏药配方：当归、黄芪、山慈菇、白芷、甘草、血余、天麻、独活、穿山甲、露蜂房、五倍子、天花粉、荆芥、金银花、白蔹、肉桂、牛蒡子、白芍各一两（净重），麻油三斤。按照常规方法熬煮至药材焦枯去渣，加入飞过的黄丹一斤半进行收膏。再加入白占、黄占、血竭、铜绿各二两，待冷却后，加入轻粉、乳香、没药（各已去油处理）、龙骨（煅制）、象皮（炒制）、樟脑、儿茶、赤白脂各一两，麝香五厘，冰片二钱，均制成粉末，混合搅拌均匀，装入瓷瓶收藏备用。
用刀自刎案例：有一人因争吵，用刀自刎，伤口长约二寸多，食管咽喉被切断一半，伤口出血且疼痛剧烈，在地上翻滚跌倒，无法敷药。于是绑住其手脚，让其躺在凉地上，用枕头垫高头部，使伤口逐渐闭合，随即敷上“铁扇散”，不久后血液凝固，半天后饮食如常，三天痊愈。（出自《金疮铁扇散医案》）
剃刀自刎案例：有一人因争吵愤怒，用剃刀自刎，食管咽喉被切断一半，呼吸时伤口处均有血泡冒出。这是因为喉间之气已受伤口损伤所致。使用散剂药物敷贴，不久后血液即凝固，两天完全痊愈。（同上）
First Aid Method for Self-Mutilation by Cutting the Throat: Self-mutilation by cutting the throat is a rapidly progressing condition that requires immediate intervention; delay may result in coldness of the forehead and cessation of breath, making rescue impossible. At the initial stage, if the patient's breath has not ceased and the body is not yet cold, immediately take one or two live chickens, tear off the hot chicken skin (cold skin is ineffective). Suture the wound with thread and wrap it for protection. Outside this, bind with soft silk fabric and cotton wool. Then, use old cloth foot-bindings worn by women to wrap around the area another five or six times to prevent air leakage, allowing natural healing. Instruct the victim to lie supine with a high pillow placed under the occiput to keep the head flexed and not straight, ensuring the wound remains closed. After three days, remove the previous dressings, apply Taohua San (Peach Blossom Powder) to the wound, or apply Yuhong Dan (Jade Red Pill), and cover externally with a large plaster for generating flesh and promoting tissue regeneration. Wrap again with silk fabric, suture tightly, and wait for muscle growth and completion of healing. (From *Jiangsu Hu Nie Tai Kan Chuan Fang*)
Appendix: Formula for Taohua San (Peach Blossom Powder): Duan Shi (Calcined Iron Ore, 2 sheng) and Da Huang (Rhubarb Root and Rhizome, 4 liang, sliced) are stir-fried together until Duan Shi turns red. Remove Da Huang, sieve into an extremely fine powder, store in a bottle, and let stand for over a month to dissipate "fire qi" before use.
Formula for Yuhong Dan (Jade Red Pill): Huang Dan (Lead Monoxide, 2 qian, stir-fried), Bai Long Gu (Fossilized Mammal Bones, 2 qian, calcined), and Shi Gao (Gypsum Fibrosum, 3 qian, calcined) are ground into a fine powder and stored in a bottle for use.
Plaster for Generating Flesh and Promoting Tissue Regeneration: Dang Gui (Angelica Sinensis Root), Huang Qi (Astragalus Membranaceus Root), Shan Ci Gu (Fritillaria Cirrhosa Bulb), Bai Zhi (Angelica Dahurica Root), Gan Cao (Licorice Root), Xue Yu (Burnt Human Hair), Tian Ma (Gastrodia Elata Rhizome), Du Huo (Angelica Pubescens Root), Chuan Shan Jia (Pangolin Scales), Lu Feng Fang (Honeycomb), Wu Bei Zi (Chinese Gall), Tian Hua Fen (Trichosanthes Root), Jing Jie (Schizonepeta Spike), Jin Yin Hua (Lonicera Japonica Flower), Bai Lian (Ampelopsis Radix), Rou Gui (Cinnamon Bark), Niu Bang Zi (Arctium Lappa Seed), and Bai Shao (White Peony Root) each 1 liang (net weight); Ma You (Sesame Oil, 3 jin). Boil according to standard method until herbs are charred and removed from dregs. Add Fei Huang Mi (Refined Lead Monoxide, 1.5 jin) to consolidate the ointment. Then add Bai Zhan (Yellow Beeswax), Huang Zhan (Red Beeswax), Xue Jie (Dragon's Blood), and Tong Lv (Malachite) each 2 liang. After cooling, add Qing Fen (Calomel), Ru Xiang (Olibanum/Gum Resin), Mo Yao (Myrrh) (each de-oiled), Long Gu (Fossilized Mammal Bones, calcined), Xiang Pi (Elephant Skin, fried), Zhang Nao (Borneol), Er Cha (Catechu), Chi Bai Zhi (Red and White Litharge) each 1 liang, She Xiang (Musk) 5 li, and Bing Pian (Borneolum Syntheticum) 2 qian. All ingredients should be processed into powder, mixed uniformly, and stored in a porcelain bottle for use.
Case of Self-Cutting with a Knife: An individual, due to an argument, cut their own throat with a knife. The wound was over 2 cun long, severing half of the esophagus and larynx. The wound bled profusely with severe pain, causing the person to roll on the ground, making dressing application difficult. The hands and feet were bound, and the patient was made to lie on a cool floor with a pillow supporting the head to allow gradual wound closure. "Tie Shan San" (Iron Fan Powder) was applied. Shortly after, blood coagulated. Half a day later, normal diet resumed, and full recovery occurred within three days. (From *Jin Chuang Tie Shan San Yi An*)
Case of Self-Cutting with a Razor: An individual, enraged by an argument, cut their throat with a razor. The esophagus and larynx were severed halfway, and blood bubbles appeared in the wound during breathing. This indicated that the qi in the throat had been damaged by the wound. A powdered medicine was applied. Shortly after, blood coagulated, and complete recovery occurred within two days. (Ibid.)
