《病源论》云∶夫被弓弩所伤，若箭镞有 药，入人皮脉，令人短气，须臾命绝。口噤
唇干，血为断绝，肠满不言，其人如醉，未死之间，为不可治。若营卫青瘀，血应时而出，
疮边壮热，口开能言，其人乃活。毒箭有三种∶岭南夷俚，用焦铜作箭镞。次，岭北诸处，
以诸蛇、虫毒螫物汁，着管中，渍箭镞。此二种才伤皮，便洪肿沸烂而死。唯射猪犬，虽困
得活，以其啖粪故也。人若中之，便即食粪，或饮粪汁，并涂疮即愈。不尔，须臾不可复救。
箭着宽处者，虽困渐活，不必死；若近胸腹，便宜速治，小缓，毒入内，则不可救矣。
《葛氏方》云∶治猝毒箭方∶
捣蓝青，绞饮汁，并薄疮。无蓝，可渍青布及绀辈，绞饮汁，亦以汁灌疮中。
又方∶服竹沥数合至一、二升。
又方∶煮藕饮汁，多多益善。
又方∶以盐满疮中，灸盐上。
《千金方》毒矢方∶
煎地黄汁，作丸服百日，矢当出。
又方∶煮芦根汁，饮一、二升。
《短剧方》猝被毒箭方∶
舂蓝汁饮之，亦灌疮 箭，得蓝即醒。
又方∶服蒲黄二合许，血亦下。
又方∶服麻子汁数升。
《范汪方》治毒箭所伤方∶
掘葛根食之，如常食法，务多为佳。（《千金方》饮汁。）
又方∶干姜、蓝青、盐等分，捣和敷疮上，毒皆出。
又方∶末雄黄，敷疮，疮当沸汗流便愈。
《集验方》治兵疮医不能治方∶
剥桑白皮，去上黑者，以裹之，桑白汁入疮。冬月用桑根皮汁。
《诸病源候论》中说：凡是遭受弓弩伤害，如果箭头带有毒药，进入人的皮肤和血脉，会导致人呼吸短促，片刻之间就会断气。表现为牙关紧闭、嘴唇干燥，血液运行中断，腹部胀满不能说话，病人像喝醉了一样，在死亡之前，属于无法救治的情况。如果营气和卫气出现青紫瘀血，血液能立即流出，伤口边缘剧烈发热，口张开能够说话，这样的人才能存活。毒箭有三种：岭南地区的少数民族，用烧焦的铜制作箭头；其次，岭北各地，将各种蛇、虫毒液注入管中，浸泡箭头。这两种情况只要伤及皮肤，就会迅速红肿溃烂而死。只有射中猪狗时，虽然猪狗受困却能存活，因为它们吃粪便的缘故。人如果被这种毒箭射中，就要立即食用粪便，或者饮用粪汁，并涂抹在伤口上即可痊愈。如果不这样做，片刻之后就无法再挽救了。箭头射入身体宽阔部位的人，虽然处境困难但会逐渐存活，不一定死亡；如果射近胸腹部位，应当迅速治疗，稍微迟缓，毒素进入体内，就不可救药了。
《葛氏方》说：治疗突然被毒箭射伤的方子：
捣碎蓝草（板蓝根等靛蓝植物），绞取汁液饮用，并将药汁薄涂于伤口。如果没有蓝草，可以用青布或深青色布料浸泡，绞取汁液饮用，也将汁液灌入伤口中。
另一个方子：服用竹沥几合到一、二升。
又一个方子：煮藕取汁饮用，越多越好。
又一个方子：用盐填满伤口，在盐上施灸。
《千金方》中的毒箭方：
煎煮地黄汁，制成丸药服用一百天，箭头应当会排出。
又一个方子：煮芦根汁，饮用一、二升。
《短剧方》中突然被毒箭射伤的方子：
捣取蓝草汁饮用，也灌入伤口和箭孔处，得到蓝草汁后病人就会苏醒。
又一个方子：服用蒲黄约二合，淤血也会随之排出。
又一个方子：服用麻子汁数升。
《范汪方》治疗毒箭所伤的方子：
挖掘葛根食用，按照平常吃饭的方法，务必多吃为好。（《千金方》建议饮葛根汁。）
又一个方子：干姜、蓝草、盐各等分，捣碎混合敷在伤口上，毒素都能排出。
又一个方子：将雄黄研成粉末，敷在伤口上，伤口沸腾出汗流淌后即可痊愈。
《集验方》治疗兵器创伤医生无法治疗的方子：
剥下桑白皮，去掉上面黑色的部分，用它包裹伤口，让桑白皮汁液流入伤口。冬季使用桑根皮汁。
The *Zhu Bing Yuan Hou Lun* (Treatise on the Pathogenesis and Manifestations of All Diseases) states: When injured by a bow or crossbow, if the arrowhead is poisoned and enters the skin and vessels, it causes shortness of breath, leading to death within moments. Symptoms include lockjaw (trismus), dry lips, cessation of blood circulation, abdominal fullness with inability to speak, and a state resembling drunkenness; such cases before death are considered incurable. However, if Ying Qi (Nutritive Qi) and Wei Qi (Defensive Qi) show cyanotic stasis, and blood flows out immediately, accompanied by intense heat at the wound margin and the ability to open the mouth and speak, the patient may survive. There are three types of poisoned arrows: In the Lingnan region, ethnic minorities use copper heated until charred for arrowheads. Secondly, in areas north of the Lingling Mountains, juices from various snakes and insects are placed in tubes to soak the arrowheads. Injury from these two types leads to rapid swelling, boiling, and ulceration, resulting in death upon mere skin penetration. Only when pigs or dogs are shot do they survive despite being incapacitated, due to their consumption of feces. If humans are struck by such arrows, one must immediately ingest feces or drink fecal juice, and apply it topically to the wound for recovery. Otherwise, rescue is impossible after a brief moment. If the arrow strikes a broad area of the body, the patient may gradually recover though severely ill, without necessarily dying; however, if it strikes near the chest or abdomen, immediate treatment is required. Any delay allows the toxin to enter the interior, making it incurable.
The *Ge Shi Fang* (Formulas by Ge Hong) states: Formula for sudden poisoning by an arrow:
Crush indigo plants (Isatis root/leaf), squeeze out the juice, drink it, and apply it thinly to the wound. If indigo is unavailable, soak blue cloth or dark blue fabric, squeeze out the juice, drink it, and also pour the juice into the wound.
Another formula: Take bamboo sap (Zhuli) several he up to one or two sheng.
Another formula: Boil lotus root, drink the juice; the more, the better.
Another formula: Fill the wound with salt, and moxa-burn over the salt.
The *Qian Jin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) contains formulas for poisoned arrows:
Decoct Rehmannia root juice (Dihuang Zhi), form pills, and take them for 100 days; the arrow should then be expelled.
Another formula: Boose reed rhizome juice (Lugen Zhi), drink one or two sheng.
The *Duan Ju Fang* (Short Drama Formulas) contains formulas for sudden arrow poisoning:
Pound indigo plants to obtain juice, drink it, and also irrigate the wound and arrow track; obtaining indigo juice will cause the patient to regain consciousness.
Another formula: Take Polygonum multiflorum seed powder (Puhuang) about two he; blood stasis will also be discharged.
Another formula: Take sesame juice (Mazi Zhi) several sheng.
The *Fan Wang Fang* (Formulas by Fan Wang) for treating arrow injuries:
Dig up kudzu root (Gegen), eat it as usual food; consuming large amounts is preferable. (The *Qian Jin Fang* suggests drinking kudzu juice.)
Another formula: Equal parts of dried ginger (Ganjiang), indigo plant (Lanqing), and salt; pound and mix, then apply to the wound; all toxins will be expelled.
Another formula: Powder realgar (Xionghuang), apply to the wound; the wound will boil with sweat flowing out, leading to recovery.
The *Ji Yan Fang* (Collected Proven Formulas) for treating weapon wounds that physicians cannot cure:
Peel mulberry white bark (Sangbaipi), remove the black outer layer, wrap the wound with it, allowing the mulberry white bark juice to enter the wound. In winter, use the juice from mulberry root bark.
