人有遍身发癞,皮浓而生疮,血出而如疥,或痛或痒,或干或湿,如虫非虫,
人以为湿热之留于皮肤也,孰知是气血不能周到滋润乎。世多以苦参煎汤或 、
白芷之类外治,而终无成效,正坐于气血之虚也。盖气血足则经络无闭塞之虞,气
血旺则毛窍无干枯之害。且气足血旺,则热散湿消,何至淤滞而不通散,结于皮肤
之外。故治癞之法,专以补气血为主,而佐之消湿散热之味。虽十载沉 ,尚可奏
功于旦夕,矧目前之近癞乎。方用扫癞丹∶
黄 (三两) 当归(二两) 防风(二钱) 茯苓(一两) 白术(一两) 生甘草(三钱)
麦冬(一两) 金银花(二两) 芍药(一两) 川芎(五钱) 熟地(一两) 山萸(五钱) 元参(一两)
荆芥(三钱) 天花粉(三钱) 水煎服。二剂而皮色润,又服二剂而干燥解,连服十剂全愈。
此方大补气血,无异枯涸之田,一旦忽逢霖雨,生机勃勃,又何至有尘埃之敝野哉。
人之腿受官刑,皮肉腐烂,死血未散,疼痛呼号,似宜用膏药、末药外治为佳。
然而受刑深重,不急内消,专恃外治,则逍遥膜外,安能卫心,使恶血之不相犯乎。
此内治之断不宜迟也。然而,世人外治之方多有神奇,而内治之方绝无应验,往往
有一时心乱而死者。虽犯法遭刑,多缘恶积,保无受冤之屈棒乎。冤气在心,则肝
叶开张,肝气收敛,尤善引血入心,使无辜之人一旦轻死,疗治无法,是谁之愆。
铎求异人特传一方,一受官刑,实时煎服,断无性命之虞。服后,然后用膏药、末
药外治,内外夹攻,则疮口易愈矣。内治方名为卫心仙丹∶
大黄(三钱) 当归(一两) 红花(三钱) 桃仁(三十粒) 生地(一两) 丹皮(三钱)
木耳(三钱) 白芥子(二钱) 水煎服。一剂而恶血散矣,不必二剂也。然后以膏药贴之,
膏方名护心仙丹∶
大黄(一两) 没药(三钱) 乳香(三钱) 白蜡(一两) 松香(五钱) 骨碎补(五钱)
当归(一两) 三七根(三钱) 败龟板(一两) 麝香(五分) 各为细末,猪板油一两,将白蜡、
松香同猪油在铜锅内化开,后将各药末拌匀,为膏药。贴在伤处,外用油纸包裹,再用布缠
住。轻者一膏即痊,重者两膏足矣。夹棍伤重,大约不须四个,即可行步无虞矣。
此二方至神至奇,内方使恶血尽散,外方使死肉之速生,合而用之,又何至损人性命哉。
有人全身长出癞疮,皮肤增厚并生疮疡,出血时如同疥癣,有时疼痛有时瘙痒,有时干燥有时湿润,看起来像虫子又不是虫子。人们以为这是湿热之邪停留在皮肤所致,殊不知这是因为气血无法周全地滋润身体。世人多用苦参煎汤或白芷等药物进行外治,但最终没有效果,这正是由于气血虚弱造成的。因为气血充足则经络没有闭塞的担忧,气血旺盛则毛孔没有干枯的危害。况且气足血旺,则热散湿消,怎么会淤滞不通,结聚在皮肤之外呢?所以治疗癞疮的方法,专门以补益气血为主,辅以消除湿气、散发热邪的药物。即使是十年的重病,也可以在短时间内见效,何况是眼前的近疾呢。方用扫癞丹:黄耆(三两)、当归(二两)、防风(二钱)、茯苓(一两)、白术(一两)、生甘草(三钱)、麦冬(一两)、金银花(二两)、芍药(一两)、川芎(五钱)、熟地黄(一两)、山茱萸(五钱)、玄参(一两)、荆芥(三钱)、天花粉(三钱),水煎服。服用两剂后皮肤颜色变得润泽,再服两剂后干燥症状解除,连续服用十剂即可痊愈。此方大补气血,就像干涸的田地,一旦忽然遇到雨水,便生机勃勃,又怎会有尘土飞扬的荒废田野之弊呢?
人的腿部遭受官刑(杖刑),皮肉腐烂,瘀血未散,疼痛呼号,似乎适宜使用膏药、末药进行外治为佳。然而受刑深重,如果不急于内服药物消散,只依赖外治,那么药效只能停留在膜外,怎能护卫心脏,使恶血不侵犯心脏呢?这是内治法绝对不可延迟的原因。然而,世人对内治方的疗效往往不如外治方神奇,导致患者常常因一时心乱而死亡。虽然犯法受刑多因罪恶积累,但难道没有受到冤屈的情况吗?冤气郁结在心,会导致肝叶开张,肝气收敛,尤其容易引导血液进入心脏,使无辜之人突然轻率死亡,治疗无方,这是谁的过错呢?我陈士铎求得异人特别传授的一方,一旦遭受官刑,立即煎服,断不会有性命之忧。服药后,然后再用膏药、末药外治,内外夹攻,则疮口容易愈合。内治方名为卫心仙丹:大黄(三钱)、当归(一两)、红花(三钱)、桃仁(三十粒)、生地黄(一两)、牡丹皮(三钱)、木耳(三钱)、白芥子(二钱),水煎服。一剂后恶血即散,不必服第二剂。然后用膏药贴敷,膏方名为护心仙丹:大黄(一两)、没药(三钱)、乳香(三钱)、白蜡(一两)、松香(五钱)、骨碎补(五钱)、当归(一两)、三七根(三钱)、败龟板(一两)、麝香(五分),各研为细末,取猪板油一两,将白蜡、松香同猪油在铜锅内化开,然后将各药末拌匀,制成膏药。贴在伤处,外用油纸包裹,再用布缠住。轻者一帖膏药即可痊愈,重者两帖膏药足矣。夹棍伤重,大约不超过四帖,就可以行走无忧了。这两方极其神妙奇特,内方使恶血尽散,外方使死肉快速生长,合而用之,又怎会损害人性命呢?
There are cases where a person develops scabies-like lesions all over the body, with thickened skin and sores that bleed like eczema or scabies. The symptoms may include pain or itching, dryness or dampness; it resembles insects but is not actually insects. People assume this is due to the retention of Damp-Heat (Shi Re) in the skin, but who would know that it is actually caused by Qi and Blood failing to circulate fully and nourish the body? In the world, many use decoctions of Sophora flavescens root (Kushen, 苦参) or external treatments with Angelica dahurica root (Baizhi, 白芷), etc., but ultimately achieve no effect. This is precisely due to the deficiency of Qi and Blood. When Qi and Blood are sufficient, there is no fear of meridian blockage; when Qi and Blood are vigorous, hair follicles do not suffer from dryness. Moreover, with sufficient Qi and abundant Blood, Heat dissipates and Dampness vanishes. How could stagnation occur, blocking flow and knotting outside the skin? Therefore, the method for treating scabies focuses primarily on tonifying Qi and Blood, assisted by herbs that eliminate Dampness and clear Heat. Even if the disease has persisted for ten years, efficacy can be achieved in a short time, let alone recent onset. The formula used is Sao Lai Dan (Scabies-Sweeping Elixir): Astragali Radix (Huangqi, 黄耆) 3 liang, Dang Gui (Angelica sinensis Radix) 2 liang, Fang Feng (Saposhnikoviae Radix) 2 qian, Poria (Fuling, 茯苓) 1 liang, Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (Baizhu, 白术) 1 liang, Raw Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Sheng Gancao, 生甘草) 3 qian, Ophiopogonis Tuber (Maidong, 麦冬) 1 liang, Lonicerae Japonicae Flos (Jinyinhua, 金银花) 2 liang, Paeoniae Radix (Shaoyao, 芍药) 1 liang, Chuanxiong Rhizome (Chuanxiong, 川芎) 5 qian, Rehmanniae Radix Preparata (Shu Di, 熟地) 1 liang, Corni Fructus (Shanzhuyu, 山萸) 5 qian, Scrophulariae Radix (Xuanshen, 元参) 1 liang, Schizonepetae Spica (Jingjie, 荆芥) 3 qian, and Trichosanthis Radix (Tianhuafen, 天花粉) 3 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. After two doses, the skin color becomes moist; after another two doses, dryness resolves. Continuous administration for ten doses results in complete recovery. This formula greatly tonifies Qi and Blood, akin to a barren field suddenly receiving rain, becoming full of vitality, thus avoiding the desolation of dusty wastelands.
When a person’s legs suffer from official corporal punishment (caning), the skin and flesh rot, and stagnant blood remains unresolved, causing painful wailing. It seems appropriate to treat externally with plasters and powdered medicines. However, given the severity of the injury, if internal resolution is not prioritized and one relies solely on external treatment, the therapeutic effect remains superficial ("outside the membranes") and cannot protect the Heart, allowing evil blood to invade. Thus, internal treatment must not be delayed. Yet, worldly external formulas often appear miraculous, while internal ones rarely prove effective, leading patients to die from sudden mental agitation. Although those punished for crimes often accumulate evil deeds, are there no cases of unjust suffering? Resentful Qi stagnating in the Heart causes the Liver lobes to expand and Liver Qi to contract, particularly drawing blood into the Heart, causing innocent people to die prematurely. With no cure available, whose fault is this? I, Chen Shiduo, obtained a special transmission from an extraordinary person: upon receiving corporal punishment, decoct and take immediately, ensuring no danger to life. After taking the medicine, then apply external plasters and powders. Internal and external attacks combined will facilitate wound healing. The internal formula is named Wei Xin Xian Dan (Heart-Guarding Immortal Elixir): Rheum Palmatum Rhizome (Dahuang, 大黄) 3 qian, Dang Gui 1 liang, Carthami Flos (Honghua, 红花) 3 qian, Persicae Semen (Taoren, 桃仁) 30 grains, Rehmanniae Radix (Shengdi, 生地) 1 liang, Moutan Cortex (Danpi, 丹皮) 3 qian, Auricularia Judae (Mu'er, 木耳) 3 qian, and Sinapis Alba Seed (Baijiezi, 白芥子) 2 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. One dose disperses the evil blood; a second dose is unnecessary. Then apply a plaster. The plaster formula is named Hu Xin Xian Dan (Heart-Protecting Immortal Plaster): Dahuang 1 liang, Myrrha (Moyao, 没药) 3 qian, Olibanum (Ruxiang, 乳香) 3 qian, White Beeswax (Baila, 白蜡) 1 liang, Pine Rosin (Songxiang, 松香) 5 qian, Drynariae Rhizoma (Gusuibu, 骨碎补) 5 qian, Dang Gui 1 liang, Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma (Sanqi, 三七根) 3 qian, Testudinis Carapax et Plastrum (Baiguiban, 败龟板) 1 liang, and Moschus (Shexiang, 麝香) 5 fen. Grind each into fine powder. Take 1 liang of porcine subcutaneous fat (Zhubanyou, 猪板油). Melt the Baila and Songxiang with the pig fat in a copper pot, then mix uniformly with the herbal powders to form the plaster. Apply to the injured area, wrap with oil paper, and bind with cloth. Mild cases heal with one plaster; severe cases require only two. For injuries from heavy clamping sticks, approximately four plasters suffice to allow safe walking. These two formulas are extremely divine and miraculous: the internal formula disperses all evil blood, and the external formula promotes rapid regeneration of dead tissue. Used together, how could they harm human life?
