【歌】五瘿多缘气与痰，结于颈项两颐间。若生身体肌肤内，气聚成瘤不等闲。
【论】夫瘿有五∶气、血、石、筋、肉是也。瘤有六∶骨、肉、脓、血、脂、石是也。瘿但生于颈项之间；
瘤则遍身体头面、手足，上下不拘其处，随气凝结于皮肤之间，日久结聚不散，累积而成。若人之元气循环周
流，脉络清顺流通，焉有瘿瘤之患也，必因气滞痰凝，隧道中有所留止故也。瘿气绝不可破，破则脓血崩溃，
多致夭枉，但当破气豁痰，咸剂以软其坚结，自然消散。丹溪云∶瘿气先须断浓味。只此一言，深达病机之旨
也。盖瘿初起如梅、李，久则滋长如升、斗，大小不一，盖非一朝一夕之故也。然六瘤中惟脂瘤可破，去脂粉
则愈，余皆不可轻易决破也。慎之！慎之！

【歌诀】五种瘿病多由气滞与痰凝引起，结聚在颈部和两侧面颊之间。如果生长在身体肌肤内部，气机郁结形成瘤，也不是小事。
【论述】瘿病有五种：气瘿、血瘿、石瘿、筋瘿、肉瘿。瘤病有六种：骨瘤、肉瘤、脓瘤、血瘤、脂瘤、石瘤。瘿病只生长在颈部之间；而瘤则遍布全身、头面、手足，上下各处不拘，随着气机凝结在皮肤之间，日久结聚不散，累积而成。如果人的元气循环周流，脉络清顺流通，怎么会有瘿瘤的祸患呢？必定是因为气滞痰凝，在经络隧道中有停留阻滞的缘故。瘿病绝对不可破溃，一旦破溃则脓血崩溃，多导致早亡，只应当用破气豁痰的方法，配合咸味药物以软化其坚结，自然消散。朱丹溪说：“治疗瘿气首先必须断绝浓味饮食。”仅这一句话，就深刻通达了病机的宗旨。大概瘿病初起像梅子、李子大小，久了则滋长如升、斗那样大，大小不一，这并非一朝一夕形成的缘故。然而六类瘤中只有脂瘤可以破溃，去除脂粉即可痊愈，其余都不可轻易决破。慎重啊！慎重啊！

[Verse] The five types of Ying (goiter) mostly arise from Qi stagnation and Phlegm accumulation, knotting between the neck and the parotid regions. If they arise within the body's skin and flesh, Qi gathering to form a Liu (tumor) is no trivial matter.
[Dissertation] There are five types of Ying: Qi Ying, Blood Ying, Stone Ying, Sinew Ying, and Flesh Ying. There are six types of Liu: Bone Liu, Flesh Liu, Pus Liu, Blood Liu, Fat Liu, and Stone Liu. Ying only arises in the neck region; whereas Liu can appear all over the body, head, face, hands, and feet, without restriction on location, condensing with Qi between the skin. Over time, they knot and accumulate without dispersing. If a person's Yuan Qi circulates smoothly and meridians are clear and unobstructed, how could there be a disaster of Ying or Liu? It must be due to Qi stagnation and Phlegm coagulation, causing stasis in the collaterals and tunnels. Ying absolutely must not be ruptured; if ruptured, pus and blood will collapse, often leading to premature death. One should instead use methods to move Qi and resolve Phlegm, combined with salty agents to soften the hard knots, allowing them to dissipate naturally. Danxi said, "In treating Ying Qi, one must first cut off rich flavors." This single statement deeply grasps the essence of the pathogenesis. Generally, Ying initially appears the size of a plum or cherry; after a long time, it grows to the size of a sheng or dou vessel. Sizes vary, as this does not happen overnight. However, among the six types of Liu, only Fat Liu can be ruptured; removing the fat powder leads to cure. The others must not be easily punctured. Be cautious! Be cautious!
Ying
For the five types of Ying, use Po Jie San (Break Knots Powder). For Ying below the neck in both men and women, regardless of duration, Shen Xiao Kai Jie San (Divine Efficacy Opening Knots Powder) is highly effective. For submandibular nodules the size of plums or cherries that do not resolve, use large spiders in any quantity, soak in wine, grind into a paste, mix with wine, and take before bed. To treat the five types of Ying, use 1 liang of Kelp (Kunbu), chopped, soaked in vinegar, and swallowed slowly to dissolve naturally.
