治疗肌肉顽固性麻木，以及紫癜、白癜风。
荆芥穗、蔓荆子（去皮）、蚵草（去土）、威灵仙（洗净）、何首乌、防风（去芦头）、甘草（炙）。以上药物研为细末。每次服用二钱，饭后用温酒调服。
治疗癜风。诗云：“紫癜和白癜风这两种风病，附子和硫黄最为有效，用姜汁调匀后蘸取茄蒂擦拭，擦两次效果更佳。”
先以布擦拭患处使其微损，然后用茄蒂蘸药液擦拭。另一种说法是，白癜风用白茄蒂，紫癜风用紫茄蒂。
另一个方子：硫黄一两，用米醋煮一天；海螵蛸二个。将两者研为细末，洗澡后用生姜蘸药粉在患处热擦，避风片刻。
又一个方子：鸡蛋一枚，用浓醋浸泡一夜，用针刺一个小孔，滴出蛋清熔化后的汁液，加入少许砒霜和绿豆粉，混合均匀。
又一个方子：雄黄、硫黄、黄丹、密陀僧、大南星（各等分）。
以上药物研为细末，先用姜汁擦拭患处，再用生姜蘸药末擦拭，之后患处逐渐变黑，第二天再擦，黑色消退则无碍了。
灸法：治疗白癜风，灸左右手中指关节凹陷处三壮，若未痊愈，继续施灸。凡是有赘生物、瑕疵和各种痣，只需将艾炷放在上面施灸。
救世之道，没有比医学更重要的了；论述医学之难，救治妇女疾病尤为紧急。为什么呢？妇女的疾病，比男子十倍难以治疗。有人说：七症、八瘕、九痛、十二带下，共三十六种病，虽然有名目数量，但没有详细症状描述，推究其原理，无非都是血病。多因为经脉失去调理，产后护理不善，内部产生七情内伤，外部感受六淫邪气，阴阳失调，劳逸不当，饮食生冷，导致营卫之气不能输布，新陈代谢相互冲突，随经络运行导致污浊，淋沥凝滞，形成症瘕，流溢秽恶之物，疼痛伤害成为痼疾，以致患病不止一种。发病时轻微如秋毫，但致病后果重于山岳。所以女子十四岁时天癸至，“天”指天真之气下降，“癸”指壬癸水名，所以叫天癸，由冲脉和任脉主管。冲脉和任脉，是血的海洋。月经，是经络的余气。大概妇女以血为本，心生成血液，肝运行血液，营卫遍布四肢，如环无端，灌注百脉，剩余的部分成为月事，按时而行。如果血液像水一样自流，自己不觉察，那么经血就不来，而身体充实旺盛并能生育。那些经量过多不断，或过期不来，或未到期先来，参差不齐而生病。当月经来时，在一两天之前，腰腹满痛，或头痛发热，全身关节拘挛急迫，比重病还难受。过了这个时候则发为虚热，自汗，加上五心烦热，遂成为虚劳。血少水涸，燥气乘肺则为咳嗽。宿寒留滞，血与气搏结则为腹痛。败血结块，时而发冷发热则为症瘕。或者风寒湿邪滞留，经血化为水，流溢四肢，称为血分。脾不能制约，血与水并走，浮胀肌肉，称为虚肿。或者冲任气虚，房事过度，风邪冷热之气，进入胞门，秽液与血兼下，冷则白带多，热则赤带多，冷热不调，赤白相半，或为赤白带下。如果冲任劳损，经海动伤，脾虚胃弱，不能约束控制，其血突然暴下，所以称为崩中漏下。所下的五色血，分别对应五脏，五脏都虚弱，五色血并下，以致眩晕烦闷，恶心心悸，迷乱健忘，发狂谵语，小便失禁，这都是血引起的疾病。又有生于富贵之家，爱憎念头郁结，导致气逆于中，所以气有一息不行，血就有一息不运，则胸腹胀痛。眩晕呕吐秽物，疲倦得无法支撑，饮食不能转化为肌肤，导致重病。治疗时，调气为上策，调经次之，这可以定为法则。受孕之后，切忌避开胎神游历之处。如医经所说：刀犯者形体必伤，泥犯者窍道必塞，打击者肤色青黯，击缚者肢体拘挛，甚至母亲死亡，验证如反掌，断不可忽视。小产一证，不像正产，正产如果栗子熟了，壳自然裂开，两无所损。若小产则比采摘砍伐新栗，弄碎其皮壳，损伤其皮膜，然后取得其实，小产正与此类似。因为其胎脏受损，胞系断裂而后胎儿堕下，皆因月份未满，误服药饵，忽受寒邪热毒所伤，忽因举重打伤跌扑，或触犯禁忌，或冲任脉虚漏下所致。生死征象，也像正产那样观察辨认。大体上小产须加十倍调治。如果外证出现喘促痰壅，恍惚昏迷不语，恶露断绝，烦渴，或变为痉证，无复生机。如果有恶露通畅，昏迷偶尔清醒，不喘促，还可以治疗。又有市井人家，乡村妇女，放纵情欲妄作，偷生不正，或多日女婴，厌恶养育，往往用草药毒杀她们，惊恐忧虑导致败血不下，冲心闷乱，喘痰虚汗交作，死者无数，听闻的人能不为戒吗？治疗者必须用解毒行血药紧急抢救，则能治愈二三成。等到正产，怀孕六七个月，切忌放纵情欲交合，入月也忌饮酒、叫怒、洗头，否则临产必难。产妇古人以阵前健儿为比喻，可谓危险啊。临产之初，先脱下平时穿的衣服，用笼子罩住灶头和灶口，则易产。不可喧哗哄闹，宜谨慎选择一位熟练善坐的稳婆，及得力家人扶持，不要让她慌乱，致使产妇忧恐。只应当吃软饭糜粥之类。如果腹中痛，暂且令其扶行，或痛或止，名叫弄痛，不可便行试水手探，听凭产母坐卧，切须忍耐。或者服用催生符药，却不可曲腰眠睡。如果连腰引痛，眼中如见火色，这是胎儿转动。大概肾系于腰，胞系于肾，贴于脊背，更尽脉转甚弦如急珠者，就是其验征了。又须令人扶持，徐徐而行，如果行走艰难，就凭靠物体站立，片刻后扶持再行，直至腰腹相引，阵痛频频，又服催生药，勉强扶行，痛阵转甚，难于行立，认是产时将至，然后坐草。切勿太早，恐怕孩子在腹中难于转侧，及胞浆先破，产道干涩，皆至难产。务要产妇爱惜体力，如果心中热闷，用蜜一匙新汲水调服。如果热闷未解，用生鸡蛋一个打破吞服，直待儿迫产门，头面端正，然后令人抱腰，那个抱腰的人，不必倾斜，则儿顺其理，自然易产。又有卧产者，须待卧定，背平着席，体不伛曲，则儿不失其道，必无难产之理。时当盛暑，应居住在深幽净室，远离日光，开启窗户，多贮清水，以防血晕，血闷，血溢妄行，血虚发热之证。如冬末春初，天色凝寒，宜密闭产室，堵塞缝隙，内外生火，常令暖气如春，仍下袭衣服，不可去掉棉衣，才免胎寒血结，毋致难产矣。及至产毕，先令饮童子小便一盏，不要让其睡觉，且令闭目而坐，片刻后方可扶置于床，宜仰卧立膝，勿令伸足，睡熟亦宜频唤醒，产室不要让风吹到其肌肤，导致其他疾病。况且产下切不可因得男为喜，恐为红汗之证，得女为忧，恐致败血冲心之患。只应当频饮艾、醋等汤药，常熏醋烟，以防紫闷。稍后进少量白粥，勿令过饱。那些破水之后，经过一日而不产者，又应当随证仔细辨别。身重体热作寒，面黑舌青，反舌上冷，母死子活。面赤舌青，母活子死。唇口俱青，吐沫，子母俱毙。仓皇之间，救治不可不审慎。且应当预先告知病家。如果胎衣不下者，停待稍久，不仅产母疲倦，而且流入胞中，被血所胀，上冲心胸，喘急疼痛，必至危笃。宜急断脐带，用少量物体系坠，系坠之时，尤宜用心拴系，然后截断，不然则胞上掩心而死。须使其子血脉不潮入胞中，则胞衣自当萎缩而下，纵淹延数日，亦不害人。我治疗多见这种情况，只希望产母心怀安泰，终自下矣。不可轻信稳婆，妄用手法，因此而死。正产后中风，口眼歪斜，角弓反张，六脉紧大。自汗过多，虚极生风，唇青肉冷。刚柔二痉，项背僵硬，手足挛急，咬齿嚼舌。血虚眩晕频发，闷绝气冷，口鼻黑起，出血不止，虚热变生，名胃绝肺败。喉中气急，喘促不息，烦渴殊甚，恶露断绝，名孤阳绝阴。五七日内强力下床，或忧怒太过，一月之内，或伤于房事，或乱行针艾，以致眼涩口噤，肌肉抽搐，腰脊僵直，语言不出类，皆难治。犹宜敬谨。此外，伤寒及诸杂病与男子等同，当以理血药为助。临治之际，宜以意消息而加减之。
Treats muscle stubborn numbness, as well as purple macules (Zidian) and vitiligo (Baidianfeng).
Jingjie Sui (Schizonepetae Spica), Manjingzi (Viticis Semen), Echinodermata (Hehe), Caocao (unknown herb, likely a typo or specific local name, kept as is), Weilingxian (Clematidis Radix et Rhizoma), Heshouwu (Polygoni Multiflori Radix), Fangfeng (Saposhnikoviae Radix), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, prepared with honey). The above herbs are ground into fine powder. Take two qian per dose, after meals, mixed with warm wine.
Treats dermatosis (Dianfeng). A poem states: "For both purple macules and vitiligo, Fuzi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata) and Liuhuang (Sulfur) are most effective; mix evenly with Ginger Juice (Jiangzhi) and dip eggplant stalks to apply. Rubbing twice yields better results."
First, rub the affected area with a cloth until slightly damaged, then use an eggplant stalk dipped in the medicine to rub. Another theory says, for vitiligo use white eggplant stalks, and for purple macules use purple eggplant stalks.
Another prescription: Liuhuang (Sulfur) one liang, boiled in Rice Vinegar (Micu) for one day; Haipiaoxiao (Sepiae Endoconcha) two pieces. Grind both into powder. After bathing, rub the affected area hotly with fresh ginger dipped in the powder, and avoid wind for a short while.
Yet another prescription: One chicken egg, soaked in strong vinegar overnight. Pierce a small hole with a needle, drip out the melted albumen juice, add a small amount of Pishuang (Arsenic Trioxide) and mung bean powder, and mix evenly.
Yet another prescription: Xionghuang (Realgar), Liuhuang (Sulfur), Huangdan (Lead Monoxide), Mituoseng (Litharge), Da Nanting (Arisaematis Tuber, large variety) (equal parts).
Grind the above into powder. First rub the affected area with ginger juice, then use fresh ginger dipped in the powder to rub. The area will gradually turn black. Rub again the next day; when the blackness disperses, there will be no harm.
Moxibustion method: For vitiligo, moxa cones are applied to the depression in the middle joint of the left and right middle fingers, three doses. If not healed, repeat. For any warts, blemishes, and various nevi, simply place moxa cones on them and moxa.
The way to save the world has nothing more important than medicine; discussing the difficulty of medicine, treating women's diseases is particularly urgent. Why? Women's diseases are ten times harder to treat than men's. It is said that the Seven Syndromes, Eight Masses, Nine Pain syndromes, and Twelve Leukorrhea types, totaling thirty-six diseases, have names but lack detailed symptom descriptions. Tracing their principles, they are all blood disorders. They often arise from neglecting the regulation of meridians, improper care after childbirth, internal emotional disturbances (Seven Emotions), external contraction of Six Evils, imbalance of Yin and Yang, improper labor and rest, and consumption of raw and cold foods. This leads to the failure of Ying and Wei Qi to circulate, conflict between new and old metabolism, turbidity following the meridians, stagnation and condensation, forming masses (Zheng and Jia), flowing out foul substances, causing pain and becoming chronic ailments, resulting in various illnesses. The onset may be slight as an autumn hair, but the disease burden is heavier than a mountain. Thus, at age fourteen, Tian Gui arrives. 'Tian' refers to the descent of Heavenly True Qi, and 'Gui' refers to the Water of Ren and Gui, hence called Tian Gui, governed by the Chong Mai (Penetrating Vessel) and Ren Mai (Conception Vessel). The Chong and Ren vessels are the sea of blood. Menstruation is the surplus of the meridians. Generally, women take blood as their foundation; the Heart generates blood, and the Liver moves blood. Ying and Wei circulate through the four limbs like an endless circle, irrigating the hundred vessels, and the remainder becomes menstruation, flowing according to time. If blood flows freely like water without awareness, menstruation ceases, yet the body remains robust and capable of conception. Conditions where flow is excessive and unceasing, delayed, or premature, irregular and varied, lead to illness. Before menstruation begins, one to two days prior, there is fullness and pain in the waist and abdomen, headache with fever, spasms and urgency in all joints, worse than severe illness. After this, deficiency heat arises, spontaneous sweating, combined with five-center heat, leading to deficiency consumptive disease. With little blood and dried fluids, dryness Qi attacks the Lung causing cough. Retained cold stagnates, blood and Qi struggle causing abdominal pain. Stagnant blood forms masses, alternating chills and fever indicating Zheng and Jia. Or wind-cold-dampness stagnates, menstrual blood transforms into water, flowing to the four limbs, called Blood Division. Spleen fails to control, blood and water combine, swelling muscles, called Deficiency Edema. Or Chong and Ren Qi deficiency, excessive intercourse, wind-cold-heat Qi enters the Bao Men (Uterine Gate), foul fluid and blood discharge together; cold causes more white discharge, heat causes more red discharge, imbalance of cold and heat causes half-red half-white leukorrhea. If Chong and Ren are damaged, the Sea of Blood is disturbed, Spleen is weak and Stomach deficient, unable to restrain, blood suddenly gushes down, called Bangzhong (Metrorrhagia) and Louxia (Metrorrhaxis). The five colors of discharge correspond to the Five Zang Organs; if all Zang are deficient, all five colors discharge, causing dizziness, irritability, nausea, palpitations, confusion, forgetfulness, mania, delirium, and urinary incontinence. All these are blood disorders. Those born into wealthy families, harboring love and hate, cause Qi reversal internally. When Qi stops for a breath, Blood also stops moving, causing chest and abdominal distension and pain. Dizziness, vomiting foul matter, exhaustion beyond bearing, food failing to nourish flesh, leading to severe illness. In treatment, regulating Qi is primary, regulating menstruation secondary; this can be established as a fixed method. After conception, one must strictly avoid areas where the Tai Shen (Fetal God) travels. As the classics state: Injury by knife damages the form; injury by mud blocks orifices; beating causes dark cyan discoloration; binding causes limb contracture, even maternal death, verified easily. Do not ignore this. Abortion (Ban Chan) is not like normal delivery. Normal delivery is like a ripe chestnut splitting open naturally, harming neither shell nor nut. Abortion is like cutting a new chestnut, breaking its skin and membrane to get the nut. Because the fetal organ is damaged and the umbilical cord severed before the fetus falls, it is due to incomplete gestation, mistaken medication, sudden injury by cold-evil or heat-toxin, heavy lifting, falls, violation of taboos, or deficiency and leakage of Chong and Ren vessels. Signs of life and death are observed similarly to normal delivery. Generally, abortion requires tenfold care. If external signs show panting, phlegm obstruction,恍惚 coma without speech, cessation of lochia, thirst, or transformation into spasm, there is no hope for survival. If lochia flows, coma occasionally clears, no panting, it is still treatable. Among commoners and village women, indulging desires, illicit births, or despising female infants, often using herbal poisons to abort, causing fright, worry, stagnant blood failing to descend, attacking the heart with confusion, panting, phlegm, and deficiency sweating, countless deaths occur. Listeners should take warning. Treaters must urgently rescue with detoxifying and blood-moving medicines, achieving two or three successes out of ten. Regarding normal delivery, in the sixth or seventh month of pregnancy, absolutely avoid indulgent intercourse. In the ninth month, avoid alcohol, shouting, anger, and head washing, lest delivery be difficult. Ancient people compared parturient women to soldiers on the front line, which is indeed perilous. At the beginning of labor, first remove ordinary clothes, cover the stove opening with a basket to create warmth, facilitating delivery. Do not make noise; carefully select a skilled midwife and capable family members to support, preventing panic and fear in the mother. Only eat soft rice and porridge. If abdominal pain occurs, let her walk supported. Pain comes and goes, called 'Nong Tong' (playing with pain), do not immediately attempt water tests or probing. Let the mother sit or lie as she wishes, endure patiently. Or take parturition-promoting talismans/medicines, but do not sleep with bent waist. If lower back radiating pain occurs, eyes seeing fire colors, this indicates fetal rotation. Kidney connects to waist, uterus connects to kidney, adhering to the spine. Pulse becoming very wiry like urgent pearls is the sign. Have someone support her to walk slowly. If walking is difficult, stand leaning on objects, rest briefly, then walk again, until waist and abdomen pull together, frequent contractions, take parturition medicine, force walking. Contractions intensify, hard to stand or walk, recognize labor is imminent, then assume the birthing position. Do not be too early, fearing the fetus cannot turn in the womb, or amniotic fluid breaks prematurely, drying the birth canal, leading to dystocia. Ensure the mother conserves energy. If feeling hot and stifled internally, mix one spoonful of honey with fresh water and swallow. If heat persists, break and swallow one raw egg. Wait until the baby presses the birth gate, head and face aligned, then have someone hold the waist. The person holding the waist should not lean, so the baby follows natural principles and delivers easily. There are also lying-down deliveries; wait until settled, back flat on mat, body not curved, so the baby does not lose its path, ensuring no dystocia. During summer heat, reside in deep, quiet rooms, away from direct sunlight, open windows, store plenty of clean water to prevent blood晕 (syncope), blood stagnation, erratic bleeding, and deficiency heat. In late winter and early spring, when cold is severe, tightly seal the delivery room, block gaps, generate fire inside and out, keep warmth like spring, wear layered clothes, do not remove cotton, to avoid fetal cold and blood coagulation, preventing dystocia. After delivery, first drink a cup of child's urine, do not let her sleep immediately, sit with eyes closed, then after a while, help her to bed. Lie supine with knees bent, do not extend legs fully. Even if asleep, wake frequently. Keep wind out of the delivery room touching her skin to prevent other diseases. Moreover, do not rejoice at having a boy, fearing 'Red Sweat' syndrome; do not grieve over having a girl, fearing 'Stagnant Blood Attacking the Heart'. Frequently drink mugwort and vinegar decoctions, fumigate with vinegar smoke to prevent purple stagnation. Gradually advance small amounts of white porridge, do not overeat. If water breaks and delivery does not occur after a day, differentiate symptoms carefully. Heavy body, hot feeling with chills, black face, blue tongue, cold reverse tongue tip: Mother dies, child lives. Red face, blue tongue: Mother lives, child dies. Lips and mouth both blue, foaming at mouth: Both mother and child die. In such emergencies, rescue must be prudent. Inform the family beforehand. If placenta fails to descend, waiting too long causes maternal fatigue, and blood inflow expands the uterus, rushing up to chest and heart, causing panting and pain, leading to critical condition. Urgently cut the umbilical cord, tie it with a weight to prevent retraction. Tie carefully, then cut. Otherwise, the uterus may retract upwards covering the heart, causing death. Ensure fetal blood does not rush back into the uterus, then the placenta will shrink and descend naturally. Even if delayed for days, it harms no one. I have seen many cases; only wishing the mother peace ensures natural descent. Do not trust midwives blindly using manual methods, causing death. Postpartum wind-stroke, facial deviation, opisthotonos, tight and large six pulses. Excessive sweating, extreme deficiency generating wind, blue lips and cold flesh. Rigid and flaccid spasms, stiff neck and back, convulsions of hands and feet, teeth grinding. Frequent dizziness from blood deficiency, fainting, cold qi, blackening around mouth and nose, uncontrolled bleeding, deficiency heat arising, named Stomach Extinction and Lung Failure. Rapid breathing in throat, incessant panting, severe thirst, cessation of lochia, named Solitary Yang Extinct Yin. Forcing bed rest within 5-7 days, or excessive anger, sexual activity within a month, or indiscriminate acupuncture/moxibustion, causing dry eyes, locked jaw, muscle twitching, stiff spine, inability to speak, are all difficult to treat. Still require caution. Other than this, cold damage and miscellaneous diseases are same as men, assisted by blood-regulating medicines. In treatment, adjust according to judgment.
