夫疖者。由风湿冷气。搏于血结聚所生也。人运役劳动。则阳气发泄。因而汗出。遇冷
湿气搏于经络。血得冷折。则结涩不通。而生疖肿。结如梅李也。又云。肿一寸二寸为疖也。
其不消而溃者。即宜 捻去脓。至清血出。若脓汁未尽。其疮合者则更发也。其着耳颔颈腋

【附论】
疖这种病，是由于风湿冷气与血结聚搏结而形成的。人在劳作运动时，阳气外泄，因此出汗，此时若遇到冷湿气侵袭经络，血液因受冷而凝滞，导致气血结涩不通，从而产生疖肿。疖肿初起如梅子或李子大小。又说，肿胀直径在一寸到二寸之间的称为疖。如果疖肿不消散而化脓溃破，就应当挑破排出脓液，直到流出清亮的血液为止。如果脓汁没有排尽，疮口愈合后又会再次发作。如果疖肿长在耳部、下颌、颈部或腋下，且脓汁未排尽，大多会转变为瘘管（漏）。

Jie (boil/furuncle) is a condition caused by the binding and accumulation of wind-dampness and cold qi with blood stasis. When people engage in physical labor, their yang qi is dispersed outward, leading to sweating. If exposed to cold and dampness during this state, the cold qi attacks the meridians. The blood, congealed by the cold, becomes stagnant and obstructed, resulting in the formation of Jie (boils). Initially, the swelling resembles a plum or apricot. It is also stated that a swelling with a diameter of one to two cun is called Jie. If the boil does not resolve and suppurates, the pus should be drained until clear blood flows out. If the pus is not completely expelled, the wound may heal and then recur. If boils occur on the ears, jaw, neck, or axilla, and the pus is not fully drained, they often transform into fistulas (Lou).

Qi Zhen Fa (Leech Therapy):
For carbuncles and boils regardless of age, at the initial stage of fever and swelling, apply clean mud from beside a well. The spot that dries first indicates the apex of the sore. Place a large brush tube over it. Put one large horse leech inside. Frequently pour cold water on it. The leech will suck the toxic blood from the swelling. If the toxin is heavy and the leech is small, use 3-4 leeches. The leech will likely die; revive it with water. If bleeding does not stop, apply mud from lotus root nodes; Bai Mao Hua (Imperatae Rhizoma flower) is also good.
