Ankylosis without a name (swelling and toxicity of unknown origin) refers to conditions not limited to the head, face, hands, feet, chest, or abdomen, characterized by redness, swelling, hardness, nodular masses, and pain. It is also known as "Zhong Yang" (Swelling Ulcer) or "Xu Yang" (Deficiency Ulcer). Any swelling lacking a distinct head or clear boundary falls into this category. If the swelling is severe, puncture with a triangular needle to evacuate evil blood; absolutely do not use fire needles for cauterization. If accompanied by aversion to cold and fever, headache, or limb stiffness, employ exterior-releasing and dispersing methods using Jingfang Baidu San (Aster and Saposhnikovia Decoction to Overcome Toxicity). If the swelling is severe and both exterior and interior patterns are excess, use Zhuding Tuoming Tang (Decoction to Pursue Carbuncles and Snatch Life). If there are no exterior or interior symptoms but the swelling is severe, use Liangmian Gui San (Two-Sided Turtle Powder). If sudden onset of redness and swelling occurs, absolutely do not puncture with needles; instead, wash the area with Xizhong Fang (Washing Swelling Formula) and apply external medications such as Baxian Gao (Eight Immortals Ointment) or Jiedu Wan (Detoxifying Pills). In urgent cases, grind Jinnaoxiang Ye (Golden Brain Fragrant Leaves) and Tiancha Ju (Field Tea Chrysanthemum), mix with warm wine for oral administration, apply the dregs to the affected area, and brush the juice onto the lesion. Toxic nodules at the tail and bone joints, resembling plums or peaches in size, red, hot, painful, and limiting movement, are named "Bing [Character Missing]" (Disease [Name]). Crush Furong Ye (Hibiscus Leaf), stir-fry with wine, and bind to the area; if ulcerated, calcinate Wei Ke (Tail Shell) until charred externally but raw internally, powder it, mix with sesame oil, and apply for cure. For Ziyou Xu Yang (Purple Wandering Deficiency Ulcer), decoct Yubaozi Gen (Fish Brood Root) and mix with wine for drinking; additionally, crush Shuili Hua Ye (Water Lily Flower Leaf) and Chizi Ye (Red Child Leaf) and brush on the area. If heat signs are present, add Jishizi (Chicken Droppings) and Jiju Gen (Chicken Spur Root) to Zhuding Tuoming Tang. Swelling of the dorsum of hands and feet with red streaks resembling shrimp is named "Bing Xia Zheng" (Disease Shrimp Syndrome). Stir-fry salted brine with oil until fragrant, quench in hot water to make a decoction, and wash the area while hot to reduce swelling; simultaneously administer Feiyang Yao (Callosity Ulcer Medicine). Nodular swelling and pain near the crease inside the knee, where the nodule is elongated like a fish, is named "Shang Shui Yu" (Upper Water Turtle). Puncture randomly with a triangular needle to evacuate evil blood; bind with Ku (Withered material/Herb), Leiting Teng (Thunder Vine), and Shanzhang Zi Ye (Mountain Camphor Seed Leaf) crushed with bran and stir-fried. Another formula uses Shanleiting Teng (Mountain Thunder Vine), Chiniuxi (Red Achyranthes), Shansumu (Mountain Sappanwood), and Ku crushed with salted bran and stir-fried. Another method uses Leiteng (Thunder Vine), Bie Niao (Turtle Urine), and Tenggen Pi (Vine Root Bark) crushed with bran and stir-fried. Another method uses Yubaozi (Fish Brood) and Ku crushed with bran and stir-fried. Another method uses Shanleiting Genpi (Mountain Thunder Vine Root Bark) and Ku crushed with bran and stir-fried, combined with external application of Qisheng Gao (Seven Sages Ointment) and internal administration of Jiujin Lima San (Nine Gold Six Horse Powder). Generalized rash resembling urticaria, scabies, or erysipelas, white in color, non-painful but itchy, raising white scales upon scratching, is named "Sheshi" (Snake Lice). Decoct Youhui Tianfeizhu (Oil Filth Field Fertilizer Plant), Shanzhang Zi Ye (Mountain Camphor Seed Leaf), Zhangshu Ye (Camphor Tree Leaf), and Baiye (Cypress Leaf), add vinegar, and wash. Another method uses only Ye (Leaf) decocted for washing for faster results; concurrently administer Kushen Wan (Sophora Pill), Lafan Wan (Beeswax Alum Pill), or Jinyin Zaojiao Wan (Silver Acacia Pill). Unbearable swelling and pain of the dorsum of the foot or toes: elevate the leg to relieve pain; lowering the leg causes unbearable pain, named "Daoba Zhongyang" (Inverted Pull Swelling Ulcer). First, decoct Liangmian Gui (Two-Sided Turtle) in wine and drink; then take Liangmian Gui San. If ineffective, grind Sheshu (Snake Yam) in wine and drink for great effect. Unbearable ear pain is named "Naoli Xu Yang" (Brain Interior Deficiency Ulcer). Grind Jinnaoxiang Gen or Ye (Golden Brain Fragrant Root or Leaf), mix with well water, filter, add Pian Nao (Borneol), and drip into the ear. Alternatively, grind root in mint decoction, mix with wine, and drink. Alternatively, grind Jinjishé (Golden Chicken Tongue), Kushen (Sophora), Qingmuxiang (Green Aromatic), and Jinfengwei (Golden Phoenix Tail) in water, add Borneol, filter, and drip into the ear. Concurrently take Liangmian Gui San and decoct Shuitangzi Gen (Water Pond Root) with wine. For Ziyou Feng (Purple Wandering Wind), grind Zitagenpi (Purple Tea Root Bark) in water and brush. Another formula adds Hongxin Wugong (Red Heart Centipede), Xiao Jinqian Doubancao (Small Coin Bean Grass), and Maticao (Horse Hoof Grass), grind Jinying Yewei (Golden Oriole Leaf Tip) in water, add vinegar, warm, and brush.
