专门治疗各种无名肿毒,无论疼痛或瘙痒的简便有效方剂。取生大蒜一枚,如果有独头蒜更好,在多人行走过的土地上,用唾液将蒜在地上磨烂,随即把蒜泥涂抹在患处;如果脓头已经显现,则保留脓头不涂,只涂抹四周,无论是红肿痛痒,立刻见效。
用马齿苋捣烂后敷于患处,不过几次,就能取得疗效。
在农历九月九日采集木芙蓉叶,阴干后研成粉末;在农历五月五日采集苍耳草,烧成灰但保留药性(存性),再研成粉末,两味药材等量混合。使用时,用蜂蜜和水调匀,涂抹在疮疡四周,无论是恶毒还是疔疮,敷上后毒素自然不再扩散。
疔疮是外科中发展迅速的病症,如果不及时救治,大多无法挽救。“疔”字形象地描述了其形状像钉子一样,形体小,根基深,可以在身体任何部位生长,这种疮最恶劣,毒性最猛烈。它由恣意食用浓烈厚味的食物导致积热而成,或者是被蛇虫叮咬以及感染疫死牲畜的毒素所致。毒素有深浅之分,发病部位和形色也有缓急之别,如果不明确指出并加以分辨,人们容易疏忽而延误病情,造成不小的危害。例如生在头顶、胸背部的最为紧急,生在手足骨节部位的稍缓。在一个疔疮之外另生一个小疮的,名叫“应候”;四周红肿胀起但不散漫的,名叫“护场”;四周多处生出小疮的,名叫“满天星”,有此现象的病情较缓,没有此现象的病情紧急。另外观察初起至三五天之间,颜色由白色变为青紫色,疔头溃破流脓,形状像蜂窝,内部没有“七恶”等症状的,属于顺证。如果初起时似疔非疔,呈灰色,顶部凹陷像鱼肚脐,出现青紫黑色的水泡,质地软陷无脓,内部出现“七恶”等症状的,属于逆证。这是辨别疔疮的大致方法。总之,凡是患有疔疮贵在早期治疗,忌讳服用辛热性质的药物,恐怕反而助长邪气;外治忌讳敷用寒凉性质的药物,恐怕逼迫毒素内攻入里。膏药不宜过早贴敷,只有在即将溃破或已经溃破时贴敷,是为了呼出脓液、促进肌肉生长以抵御风寒。刚溃破时忌讳使用生肌收敛的药物,恐怕毒素未尽反而增加溃烂程度。溃破后不宜过早进补,即使见到真正的虚象,也只能平补,尤其需要斟酌。忌食姜、花椒、酒、肉、鸡、鱼、鹅、羊、海鲜腥味、辛辣煎炒食物、生冷及发物,戒除生气发怒、房事劳累、接触臭秽之气、经血污秽等情况,触犯这些禁忌必然导致病情反复,谨慎对待是关键。
A simple and effective prescription specifically for treating all kinds of unnamed swellings and toxic sores, whether painful or itchy. Take one raw garlic clove; a single-clove garlic is preferable. On soil where many people have walked, use saliva to grind the garlic into a paste on the ground. Apply this garlic paste to the affected area. If a head (pustule) has already appeared, leave the head uncovered and apply the paste only around the periphery. Whether there is redness, swelling, pain, or itching, immediate effect will be seen.
Mash fresh Portulaca oleracea (Purslane) and apply it as a poultice. After only a few applications, efficacy can be achieved.
Collect Hibiscus mutabilis (Cotton Rose) leaves on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, dry them in the shade, and grind them into powder. Collect Xanthium sibiricum (Cocklebur) herb on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, burn it to ash while preserving its medicinal properties, and grind into powder. Mix equal parts of these two powders. When using, mix with honey and water to form a paste, and apply around the periphery of the sore. Whether it is a malignant toxin or a carbuncle/furuncle, applying this will prevent the toxin from spreading.
Carbuncles and furuncles (Ding Chuang) are conditions in surgery that progress rapidly. If not treated promptly, they are often incurable. The term "Ding" describes the shape resembling a nail: small in size but deep-rooted, capable of arising anywhere on the body. These sores are the most malignant, and their toxicity is the most intense. They arise from excessive consumption of rich and strong-flavored foods leading to accumulated heat, or from bites by snakes and insects, or from poisoning by animals that died of epidemic diseases. The depth of the toxin varies, and the location and appearance indicate urgency. Without clear identification and differentiation, people tend to neglect this, causing significant harm. For instance, those appearing on the top of the head, chest, or back are most urgent; those on the joints of hands and feet are slightly less urgent. A small sore appearing outside a main Ding is called "Ying Hou" (Responding Signal). Redness and swelling around the four sides without spreading widely is called "Hu Chang" (Protective Field). Multiple small sores appearing around the sides are called "Man Tian Xing" (Stars in the Sky). Cases with these signs are slower/milder; cases without them are more urgent. Furthermore, observe the progression from onset to three or five days: if the color changes from white to cyan-purple, the Ding head ulcerates and suppurates, resembling a honeycomb, and there are no internal symptoms of the "Seven Evils," it is a favorable course (Shun). If initially resembling a Ding but not quite, appearing gray, with a depressed apex like a fish navel, presenting cyan-purple-black blisters that are soft and depressed without pus, and showing internal symptoms of the "Seven Evils," it is an unfavorable course (Ni). This is a general overview of differentiating Ding. In summary, for any case of Ding Chuang, early treatment is crucial. It is contraindicated to take acrid-warm herbs, as this may exacerbate the pathogenic factor. Externally, it is contraindicated to apply cold-cooling herbs, as this may force the toxin inward. Plasters should not be applied too early; they should only be used when the sore is about to ulcerate or has just ulcerated, to promote drainage and tissue regeneration against wind-cold. At the initial stage of ulceration, it is contraindicated to use flesh-regenerating astringents, as the toxin may not be fully cleared, potentially worsening the ulceration. Post-ulceration, tonification should not be started too early. Even if true deficiency is evident, only mild tonification should be considered, requiring careful judgment. Dietary taboos include ginger, Sichuan pepper, alcohol, meat, chicken, fish, goose, mutton, seafood, pungent/spicy fried foods, raw/cold foods, and "fa wu" (stimulating/triggering foods). One must also avoid anger, sexual exertion, foul odors, and contact with menstrual blood. Violating these will inevitably lead to recurrence. Caution is paramount.
