唐《本注》云，香港脚。
煮荭草浓汁，渍之，多瘥。
《简要济众》治香港脚连腿肿满，久不瘥方。
黑附子一两，去皮脐，生用，捣为散，生姜汁调如膏。涂敷肿上，药干再调涂之，肿消
为度。
香港脚病，最初起源于岭南地区，后来逐渐传播到江东一带。这种病发作没有预兆，有时轻微感到疼痛麻木，有时两小腿肿胀发满，有时行走时突然感到腿脚无力，有时小腹感觉迟钝或麻木，有时时而发冷时而发热，这些都是该病的征候。如果不立即治疗，病邪会向上侵入腹部，引发气逆冲心，就会危及生命。治疗此病多用汤剂、药酒和按摩膏，方剂种类繁多，不仅仅是一副药。现在只选取疗效显著的单方，并配合艾灸疗法。
取优质豆豉一升，经过三次蒸制和三次晒干，用优质酒三斗浸泡，三天后即可饮用。根据患者体质多少适量服用，为了预防不必等待发病，直接煮服酒浸豆豉，脚弱症状可以得到轻微缓解，之后继续配制其他方剂服用，并配合艾灸。
其次服用独活酒方。独活五两，附子五两（生用，切片）。用酒一斗，浸泡三个晚上，从每次服用一合开始，以身体出现轻微麻痹感为度。
又一方：白矾石二斤，也可以用钟乳粉（末），附子三两，豆豉三升。用酒三斗，浸泡四五天，少量多次饮用。如果伴有气逆症状，加紫苏子二升。
又一方：优质硫黄三两（研成粉末），牛乳五升。先用水五升煮沸牛乳，然后加入硫黄，煎煮至剩余三升。每次服用三合也可以。直接用乳汁煎煮硫黄，不用水。如果突然没有牛乳，羊乳也可以。
又一方：方法为先煎煮牛乳三升，使其减半，取五合，随即服用硫黄粉末一两，服完后，严密覆盖以取汗，不要让风吹，中间再服一次，傍晚再服一次。如果已经出汗，不再强行发汗，只需好好调养护理。如果未痊愈，在痊愈后几天内，也可以再次制作服用。如果长期服用，也可以煎制成丸剂，北方人服用此方治疗脚弱多有效，但必须使用极好的硫黄，可以预先准备。
如果小腿已经肿胀，按压后凹陷不起的。只用勒令饮用乌犊牛尿二三升，使小便通畅，肿胀会逐渐消退。应当用铜器盛接尿液，新取的为佳。如果没有黑牛，纯黄色的牛也可以。
又一方：取牵牛子，捣碎，蜂蜜调和做成如小豆大小的丸剂，每次五丸。取合量（此处指剂量单位或形态描述，原文“取合”可能指取适量或特定量，结合语境理解为服用），小便通畅也可，直接吞服即可，其种子黑色，形状像胡荽子核，市井之人也售卖它。
又一方：取三白根，捣碎。用酒送服。
又一方：用酒或水煮大豆，饮其汁液。吃小豆也很好。或者生研胡麻，用酒调和服用，可愈。
又一方：大豆三升，水一斗，煮取九升，加入清酒九升，再煎煮至九升。少量多次饮用，小便通畅，则肿胀停止。
那些含有风引、白鸡、竹沥、独活等成分的汤剂，以及八风、石斛、狗脊等散剂，都收录在大方书中。金芽酒是治疗此病的关键方剂，现记载其方。
蜀椒、茵芋、金牙、细辛、[缺字]草、干地黄、防风、附子、地肤、蒴藋、升麻各四两，人参三两，羌活一斤，牛膝五两。共十四味药，切碎，用酒四斗，浸泡七天，每次饮用二三合，逐渐增加剂量。也能治疗口不能言，脚屈曲至良（此处“至良”疑为衍文或特定状态，意指效果良好或病情改善）。还有侧子酒，也有效。
如果是田间贫苦人家，这些药可以用来酿酒。菝葜及松节、松叶都很好。
菝葜（洗净，锉碎）一斛，用水三斛，煮取九斗，用来浸曲，并煮去渣滓。取一斛，浸米饭，按照酿酒法发酵，熟透后取饮，多少随意。可以一次性制作三五斛。如果使用松节松叶，也依据此法，其汁液越浓越好，患脚屈曲多年不能行走，腰脊挛急麻木，以及腹内紧结者，服用不超过三五剂，都能康复。如果不能酿酒，水边的商陆也很好。
关于艾灸疗法，穴位也很多，恐怕人们不能完全知晓位置，现在只列出重要的穴位。必须先从上开始灸，如果直接灸脚，气机上逆无法宣泄就会危险，先灸大椎穴。
位于项部大骨节高起处，灸其上表面的一穴。如果有气逆症状，可先灸百会穴五十壮，穴位在头顶凹陷处。
肩井穴，每侧一百壮。
其次灸膻中穴，五十壮。
位于胸前两侧对乳头胸厌骨缝隙间，手指按压感觉到气机翕动即是，另一种说法是正胸中的一穴。
其次灸巨阙穴。
在心厌尖下方一寸处，用寸度量取。凡灸以上上部五穴，也足以治疗气逆。如果能灸百会、风府、胃管（即中脘）及五脏俞穴，则更好，视病情的轻重缓急而定。诸穴位出自《灸经》，不可全部记载。
其次灸风市穴一百壮。
在大腿外侧，可平靠垂手直掩大腿上，当中指头所至的大筋上，捻按时自觉舒适即是。
其次灸三里穴二百壮。
用患者的手横掩，下并四指，名叫一夫，指尖至膝头骨下，指中节处是其穴位，附着胫骨外边，捻按时有凹凹的感觉。
其次灸上廉穴，一百壮。
其次灸下廉穴，一百壮。
其次灸绝骨穴，二百壮。
在外踝上三寸余，用手指端取踝骨上际，屈指头四寸便是，与下廉穴相对，分为两个穴位。这下面十八个穴位，都是重要穴位，其余伏兔、犊鼻穴，凡灸这些穴位，不必一次灸完，三天内报灸合计灸完。
又一方：孔公孽二斤，石斛五两。用酒二斗浸泡。服用。
附方
《斗门方》治疗突发风毒，肿气急痛。用柳白皮一斤，锉碎，用酒煮热。用帛包裹熨烫肿胀处，冷了再煮，更换，非常妙。

《广利方》治疗香港脚冲烦，闷乱不识人。大豆一升，水三升，浓煮取汁，顿服半升。如果未安定，可再服半升。即安定。
苏恭说，凡是患香港脚，每天早晨任意饱食，午后少食，日晚不食，如果饿了可以吃豆豉粥。如果暝（晚）不消化，欲致霍乱者。
即用高良姜二两，打碎，用水三升，煮取一升，顿服尽，即消，等到极饿时才吃一碗薄粥，这个药唯极饮之（此处语意稍显模糊，意指服药期间饮食清淡或遵医嘱），良。如果突然没有高良姜，母姜一两代替，用清酒一升，煮至极熟，连渣一起吃，虽然不及高良姜，也大有功效。
唐《本注》云，香港脚。
煮荭草浓汁，渍之，多瘥。
Hong Kong foot disease (Jiaogong, a term historically referring to beriberi or gout-like conditions) initially originated in the Lingnan region and gradually spread to the Jiangdong area. This disease strikes without gradual onset; symptoms may include slight pain and numbness, swelling and fullness in both calves, sudden weakness when walking, insensitivity or numbness in the lower abdomen, or alternating chills and fever. These are all signs of the condition. If not treated immediately, the pathogen may ascend into the abdomen, causing Qi rebellion that can be fatal. Treatment often involves decoctions, medicinal wines, and massage ointments. There are numerous formulas, not just a single prescription. Here, we select only those with singular efficacy, combined with moxibustion therapy.
Take one sheng of high-quality fermented soybeans (Douchi), steam and sun-dry it three times each. Soak it in three dou of fine wine for three nights before drinking. Administer according to the patient's capacity. For prevention, do not wait for symptoms to appear; simply boil and consume the wine-soaked beans. The leg weakness will improve slightly. Continue preparing and taking other formulas, along with moxibustion.
Next, take the Duhuo Wine formula: Duhuo Radix (Radix Angelicae Pubescentis) five liang, Fuzi Radix Preparata (Prepared Aconite Root) five liang (used raw, sliced). Soak in one dou of wine for three nights. Start by taking one ge per dose, adjusting until a mild sense of numbness is achieved.
Another formula: Bai Fanshi (Alumen, Alum) two jin, or alternatively Zhongru Powder (Stalactite Powder), Fuzi Radix Preparata (Prepared Aconite Root) three liang, Douchi (Fermented Soybeans) three sheng. Soak in three dou of wine for four to five days, drink in small amounts. If Qi rebellion is present, add Erzi (Perilla Seed) two sheng.
Another formula: Youliuhuang (Sulfur) three liang (powdered), Niurou (Cow's Milk) five sheng. First, boil five sheng of water with the milk, then add the sulfur, and simmer until reduced to three sheng. One dose of three ge is also acceptable. Sulfur can be boiled directly in milk without water. If cow's milk is unavailable, sheep's milk is also suitable.
Another formula: First, boil three sheng of cow's milk until reduced by half. Take five ge and immediately take one liang of sulfur powder. After ingestion, cover tightly to induce sweating, avoiding wind exposure. Take another dose in the middle of the day and one more in the evening. If sweating has already occurred, do not force further sweating; instead, focus on proper care and nursing. If not fully recovered, it can be prepared again within a few days after recovery. For long-term use, it can be made into pills. People in the North find this effective for treating leg weakness, but high-quality sulfur is essential; prepare it in advance.
If the calves are swollen and pitting upon pressure, administer two to three sheng of urine from a black ox to promote urination; the swelling will gradually subside. Use a copper vessel to collect fresh urine, which is preferred. If a black ox is unavailable, a pure yellow ox may also be used.
Another formula: Take Qianniuzi (Pharbitidis Semen, Morning Glory Seed), crush it, and mix with honey to form pills the size of small beans, five pills per dose. Urination should be clear; swallowing them directly is also effective. The seeds are black and resemble the pits of Hu Su Zi (Perilla Fruit); they are sold in markets.
Another formula: Take Sanbai Gen (Roots of Three Whites, likely referring to specific local herbs), crush them, and take with wine.
Another formula: Boil Da Dou (Soja Glycines Seeds, Soybeans) in wine or water and drink the juice. Eating Xiao Dou (Adzuki Beans) is also good. Alternatively, grind Sesamum indicum seeds (Huma) raw, mix with wine, and take; this cures the condition.
Another formula: Boil three sheng of soybeans in one dou of water until nine sheng remain. Add nine sheng of clear wine and simmer until nine sheng remain. Drink slowly. Once urination becomes smooth, the swelling will cease.
Formulas containing Fengyin, Baiji, Zhuli (Bamboo Sap), and Duhuo, as well as powders like Bafeng, Shihu (Dendrobium), and Gouji (Cibotium Rhizome), are recorded in larger compendiums. Jinya Jiu (Gold Tooth Wine) is the most important treatment for this condition; its formula is recorded here.
Shujiao (Sichuan Pepper), Yinyu (Berberis Aristolata Stem), Jinya (likely a mineral or herb alias), Xixin (Asarum), [missing character] Cao, Dihuang (Rehmannia Root), Fangfeng (Saposhnikovia Root), Fuzi (Aconite Root), Difukeng (Kochia Fruit), Shuoyang (Dioscorea Hypoglauca Rhizome), and Shengma (Cimicifuga Rhizome) each four liang; Renshen (Ginseng Root) three liang; Qianghuo (Notopterygium Rhizome) one jin; Niuxi (Achyranthes Root) five liang. Cut these fourteen ingredients, soak in four dou of wine for seven days. Drink two to three ge initially, increasing gradually. It also treats inability to speak and severe leg weakness. Cizi Jiu (Side Aconite Wine) is also effective.
For poor rural families, these herbs can be used to brew wine. Babia (Smilax Glabra Rhizome), Songjie (Pine Knots), and Songye (Pine Needles) are all beneficial.
Clean and chop one hu of Babia. Boil in three hu of water until nine dou remain. Use this liquid to steep yeast, boil to remove dregs, and take one hu. Soak rice in it and ferment as per wine-making methods. Drink when ready, in any quantity. One can brew three to five hu at once. If using pine knots and needles, follow the same method; the more concentrated the juice, the better. For chronic leg weakness preventing walking, spinal stiffness and numbness, and abdominal tightness, three to five doses will restore health. If brewing is not possible, Shanglu (Phytolacca Radix) found near water is also good.
Regarding moxibustion, there are many acupoints, but people may not know all locations. We list only the essential ones. Moxibustion must start from the upper body; direct moxibustion on the feet without addressing the upper body can cause dangerous Qi rebellion. First, moxa Dazhui (GV14).
Located at the prominent vertebra in the neck. Moxa the single point on the upper surface. If Qi rebellion is present, first moxa Baihui (GV20) fifty cones; the point is in the depression at the vertex of the head.
Moxa Jianjing (GB21) one hundred cones on each side.
Located in the small depressions near the head on both shoulders. Pinch with fingers to ensure accurate placement.
Next, moxa Danzhong (CV17) fifty cones.
Located between the chest bones opposite the nipples, where pressing induces a sensation of Qi movement. Some say it is the central point of the chest.
Next, moxa Juque (CV14).
One cun below the tip of the xiphoid process. Moxing the upper five points listed above is sufficient to treat Qi rebellion. Moxa Baihui (GV20), Fengfu (GV16), Weiguan (CV12, i.e., Zhongwan), and the Five Zang Back-Shu points for better results, depending on the severity. These points are from the *Jiu Jing* (Classic of Moxibustion) and cannot be fully listed here.
Next, moxa Fengshi (GB31) one hundred cones.
On the lateral aspect of the thigh. When standing with arms hanging straight down, the point is under the tip of the middle finger, on the large tendon. Pressing yields a comfortable sensation.
Next, moxa Zusanli (ST36) two hundred cones.
Using the patient's hand horizontally across the knee, spanning four fingers (one fu), the point is below the knee bone at the midpoint of the finger joint, on the outer edge of the tibia. Pressing yields a concave sensation.
Next, moxa Shanglian (EX-LE7) one hundred cones.
One fu distance below Zusanli (ST36).
Next, moxa Xialian (EX-LE8) one hundred cones.
One fu distance below Shanglian.
Next, moxa Jiexgu (GB39) two hundred cones.
Approximately three cun above the lateral malleolus. Measure from the upper border of the ankle bone, four cun up. It is opposite Xialian. Below these are eighteen essential points, including Futu (ST32) and Dubi (ST35). Do not complete all moxa sessions at once; distribute them over three days.
Another formula: Kong Gong Nie (likely a specific mineral or herb, possibly related to gypsum or similar) two jin, Shihu (Dendrobium Officinale Stem) five liang. Soak in two dou of wine. Consume.
Supplementary Formulas
*Douben Fang* treats acute wind-toxin with swelling, Qi stagnation, and urgent pain. Take one jin of Willow White Bark (Liubai Pi), chop it, and boil in wine until hot. Wrap in cloth and apply as a compress to the swelling. Reheat when cool. This is very effective.
*Shenghui Fang* treats migrating wind-toxin pain. Mix small mustard seed powder with egg white and apply topically.
*Jingyan Houfang* treats wind-toxin causing bone marrow pain. Mix two fen of Shaoyao (Peony Root) and one liang of Hugu (Tiger Bone, note: protected species, historical context only). Roast, powder, and store in a silk bag. Soak in three sheng of wine for five days. Take two ge three times daily.
*Shiyi Xinjing* eliminates all wind-damp bi syndromes and limb contracture.
Take three liang of Cang'erzi (Xanthium Fruit), powder it, boil in one and a half sheng of water until seven ge remain. Strain and sip slowly.
Also treats tendon and vessel contracture, chronic wind-damp bi, descending Qi, expelling evil from bones, benefiting intestines and stomach, reducing edema, and promoting lightness and energy with long-term use.
Take one sheng of Yiyiren (Coix Seed), powder it. Each time, boil two spoonfuls of powder in two sheng of water to make porridge. Eat on an empty stomach.
Also tonifies deficiency and removes wind-damp bi. Mix two large liang of Tiguhu (Clarified Butter/Ghee) with one cup of warm wine and one spoonful of ghee. Drink.
*Jingyan Fang* treats deep-seated pain in skin and flesh. Powder He Shou Wu (Polygonum Multiflorum Root), mix with ginger juice to form a paste. Apply to the painful area, wrap with cloth, and heat a shoe sole with fire to compress/warm the area. Very effective.
Sun Simiao's Formula treats Hong Kong Foot (Jiaogong) and ascending Qi. Take a one-chi long crucian carp, prepare as sashimi (kuai), and eat one liang in one sitting to cure.
*Qianjin Yi* treats Jiaogong rushing to the heart. Take two liang of Bai Fan (Alum), boil in one and a half dou of water for three to five boils. Soak feet in the solution. Effective.
*Guangli Fang* treats Jiaogong causing agitation and confusion/unconsciousness. Boil one sheng of soybeans in three sheng of water until concentrated. Drink half sheng at once. If not stabilized, drink another half sheng. Stabilizes quickly.
Su Gong stated: For Jiaogong patients, eat freely at breakfast, eat less at lunch, and fast at dinner. If hungry, eat bean porridge. If digestion fails at night, risking Huoluan (cholera-like symptoms):
Take two liang of Gaoliangjiang (Galangal Rhizome), crush it, boil in three sheng of water until one sheng remains. Drink all at once to resolve symptoms. Wait until extremely hungry before eating a bowl of thin porridge. This medication requires strict dietary control. If Galangal is unavailable, substitute one liang of Mother Ginger (Zijiang), boil in one sheng of clear wine until thoroughly cooked, and consume with the dregs. Although less effective than Galangal, it is still highly efficacious.
*Tang Ben Zhu* states for Jiaogong:
Boil Hongcao (likely Persicaria hydropiper or similar) to make a concentrated decoction and soak the affected area; often curative.
*Jianyao Jizhong* treats Jiaogong with leg swelling and fullness, chronic and unhealed.
Take one liang of Hei Fuzi (Black Prepared Aconite), remove skin and navel, use raw, powder it. Mix with fresh ginger juice to form a paste. Apply to the swelling. Reapply when dry until swelling subsides.
