肾脏虽然开窍于耳，但应当知道耳朵是听会之处，主管接收五音，外在对应宫、商、角、徵、羽五声，内在对应嘘、嘻、呵、吹四种气机声音，内关联五脏，外合六淫（风、寒、暑、湿、燥、火六种外感病邪），所以风寒暑湿会导致耳聋耳鸣；忧思喜怒等情志因素，多产生内部阻塞；至于劳逸过度，则不言而喻。此外还有出血化脓、耳底生疮、或耵聍（耳屎）排不出、飞虫走兽进入耳道等情况，各种证候既然不同，治疗方法也各有讲究。

Gan Jiang (Dried Ginger), Ban Xia (Pinellia Rhizome) (washed with decoction to remove slipperiness, equal parts).
Grind the above into powder. Place a small amount on the tongue and swallow with saliva. Another method: apply salt to the tip of a chopstick, open the mouth, and press against the affected area, five or six times daily.
Treating Gu Zei Shi Yan (pharyngeal foreign body sensation/itching caused by swallowing grain awns), characterized by itching in the throat. This is due to accidentally swallowing grain awns that pierce and irritate the throat, causing itching and pain.
Zhi Ma (Sesame Seed) (stir-fried, quantity as needed).
Grind the above into powder and take with warm water. It is important to distinguish between "Gu Zei" (grain awn irritation) affecting the pharynx and "Ma Hou Feng" (acute laryngeal obstruction) affecting the larynx.
Treating Ma Hou Bi (severe sore throat with hoarseness resembling a horse's neigh), characterized by massive swelling extending to the cheeks and frequent, rapid breathing.
Ma Bian Cao Gen (Root of Calotropis Gigantea).
Crush and extract the natural juice. Swallow approximately one he (ancient unit of volume) per dose. Another method: administering the decoction of a horse bit iron is also effective.

General treatment for various types of choking/gagging.
Boil Xie Bai (Allium Macrostemon Bulb) until half-cooked, tie it with a thread, hold the thread, chew slightly, and swallow. When the bulb reaches the site of impaction, pull the thread repeatedly to expel the object.
Another method: use a small piece of cotton soaked in honey, applied similarly to the Xie Bai method.
Yu Xie Wu You San (Jade Dust Worry-Free Powder) treats all types of foreign body impaction. (Formula see previous section).
Although the Kidney opens into the ears, one must understand that the ear is the meeting point of hearing, governing the reception of the five tones. Externally, these correspond to Gong, Shang, Jue, Zhi, and Yu; internally, they relate to the sounds Xu, Xi, He, and Chui. The ears connect internally with the five Zang organs and externally with the Six Exogenous Pathogens (Wind, Cold, Summerheat, Dampness, Dryness, Fire). Therefore, Wind, Cold, Summerheat, and Dampness can cause deafness, tinnitus, and ringing in the ears; emotional factors such as worry, thought, anger, and joy often cause internal blockage; while overwork and lack of exertion are self-evident. Additionally, there are conditions involving bleeding and pus formation, sores at the bottom of the ear canal, impacted cerumen (earwax), or insects entering the ear. Since these syndromes differ, their treatments vary accordingly.
Treating sudden ear pain and deafness/blockage where sound cannot be heard.
Shi Chang Pu (Acorus Tatarinowii Rhizome), Fu Zi (Prepared Aconite Lateral Root) (prepared, skin and umbilicus removed, equal parts).
Grind the above into powder, mix with vinegar to form pills the size of almond kernels. Wrap in cotton and insert into the ear, changing twice daily.

Grind the above herbs into powder. Mash the sheep kidneys finely, cook with wine and flour paste to form pills the size of wu-tzu seeds. Take 30 to 50 pills before meals, washed down with salt water or wine.
