大凡疮疽刚开始生成时,都像黍米那样小。其症状极其轻微,人们往往忽视它,因而酿成大祸。能在病症未显现时加以预防,在疾病未形成时加以调理,早晨发觉晚上治疗,就必定没有危险困顿了。否则脓血结聚,毒邪深入体内,束手待毙,后悔也来不及了。以无价之躯,却缓慢疏忽对待。又托付性命给平庸的医生,任由他们处置,危险困苦立刻就会到来,所以医生不可不慎重选择。然而应当知道(所选医生)饱读经书,久谙疾候,洞明色脉,汤药熟闲,更平素仁善孝义,临事不惑者,方为良医而济我事也。又要在病患自克,不可恚怒悲忧,叫呼忿恨,及骄性情,纵口腹,任劳役,惟宜恬淡耐烦。至如患人左石,尤宜止息烦杂。一切打触器物,诸恶音声,争辩是非,咒骂斗殴,产妇淫男,体气不洁,腥膻秽浊,鸡犬畜兽,并须远离。设亲友问疾者,可以预嘱徐行,低声款曲,礼毕躬退。勿令咨嗟惊讶,话旧谈新,妄言虚实,乱举药方,久坐多言,重叠省问,劳烦病体,惑乱性情,为害非浅小也。其侍患者,宜寿近中年,性情仁浓。调治药物,无失其时。畜中勿食野兽自死有病之肉。水族勿食异状杂鱼,及父母自身本命生属。蔬中勿食不时、无名、大热、大寒、滑泄之菜。果中勿食不时、酸涩难化及虫蛀之物。只宜黄白粱米,稀粥,软饭,瓜荠萝卜姜酱,及酥烂洁净猪羊等肉。勿令过饥,勿令太饱。此时犹忌一应面果炙 、煎炒肥甘浓味。若肌肤将平,恶肉去尽,疮口收敛,尚忌起立行步,揖待宾客,房室宴会,嗔怒沐浴,登陟遨游,冲寒冒暑。直待疮瘢平复,精神如故,气力完全,方无所忌。百日内,慎勿触犯之。此篇不但将护疮疽,即一切虚损久疾,信能奉行,自然大有裨益。故录出与世共宝之。
大凡疮疽初起时,都如同黍米大小。其形态极为微小,人们常常忽视,从而酿成重大祸患。能够在病症尚未显现时进行预防,在疾病尚未成形时加以调理,早晨察觉晚上治疗,就一定不会有生命危险。否则脓血积聚,毒邪深入体内,只能束手待毙,后悔莫及。以珍贵的身体,却轻慢疏忽对待。又将性命托付给庸医,任由他们随意处置,危险困苦即刻就会降临,因此医生不可不慎重选择。然而应当考察医生是否饱读医书,精通病情,透彻掌握望诊和脉诊,对汤药运用熟练,并且平时仁爱善良、孝顺正义,遇事不迷惑的人,这才是良医,才能救助我们。此外,患者自身也要克制自己,不可愤怒悲伤忧愁,大声呼叫怨恨,以及骄傲放纵性情,放纵口腹之欲,承担劳累役务,只适宜保持心境恬淡、耐心忍耐。至于患者身边,尤其应该停止消除繁杂干扰。一切敲打触碰器物的声音,各种恶劣的声音,争论是非,咒骂斗殴,产妇产后或淫乱男子,体味不洁净,腥膻污秽浊气,鸡狗牲畜野兽,都必须远离。假如有亲友来探视疾病,可以预先嘱咐他们慢慢行走,低声细语,礼貌完毕后躬身退出。不要让他们叹息惊讶,谈论旧事新事,胡乱说虚实,乱开药方,久坐多言,反复探视询问,劳累烦扰病体,迷惑扰乱性情,造成的危害不是浅显微小的。护理患者的人,适宜年龄接近中年,性情仁慈浓厚。调配治疗药物,不要错过时机。肉类中不要吃野兽病死自死的肉。水产类不要吃形状怪异混杂的鱼,以及与自己父母生肖相冲的生属食物。蔬菜中不要吃反季节、无名目、大热、大寒、滑肠泄泻的蔬菜。水果中不要吃反季节、酸涩难消化以及被虫蛀的食物。只适宜吃黄白粱米,稀粥,软饭,瓜荠萝卜姜酱,以及酥烂洁净的猪羊肉。不要让患者过于饥饿,也不要让患者吃得太饱。这个时候还忌讳所有面食瓜果烧烤、煎炒肥腻甘甜浓味的食物。如果肌肤将要平复,腐肉去除干净,疮口收敛,仍然忌讳起身站立行走,作揖接待宾客,房事宴会,生气洗澡,登高游览,顶着寒冷冒着酷暑。直到疮疤平复,精神恢复如常,气力完全恢复,才没有什么禁忌。一百天内,谨慎不要触犯这些禁忌。这篇内容不仅适用于护理疮疽,即使是所有的虚损久病,如果能确实奉行,自然大有益处。所以记录下来与世人共同珍视。
Generally speaking, when sores and carbuncles first appear, they are as small as millet grains. Their appearance is extremely subtle, and people often overlook them, leading to major disasters. If one can prevent before the manifestation and treat before the formation, discovering in the morning and treating in the evening, there will surely be no danger or distress. Otherwise, pus and blood accumulate, toxins penetrate deeply, leaving one helpless awaiting death, with regret coming too late. With a body of immeasurable value, yet treating it with slowness and negligence, and entrusting one's life to mediocre physicians who handle matters arbitrarily, danger and peril arrive immediately; therefore, physicians must not be chosen lightly. However, one must know that only those who have read extensively through medical classics, are well-versed in disease patterns, thoroughly understand complexion and pulse diagnosis, are proficient in decoctions and medicines, and are ordinarily benevolent, kind, filial, and righteous, remaining unconfused in critical moments, can be considered good physicians capable of saving us. Furthermore, patients must exercise self-restraint, avoiding anger, sorrow, grief, shouting, resentment, arrogance, indulgence in food and drink, and overwork. One should only maintain tranquility and patience. Regarding those around the patient, it is especially important to eliminate noise and clutter. All sounds from striking or touching objects, various unpleasant noises, arguments over right and wrong, cursing and fighting, postpartum women or sexually promiscuous men, unclean bodily odors, fishy and pungent foul smells, chickens, dogs, livestock, and beasts must all be kept away. If relatives and friends come to inquire about the illness, one may pre-instruct them to walk slowly, speak softly and gently, and bow respectfully upon leaving after their visit. Do not allow them to sigh in surprise, talk about old or new matters, make false statements about deficiency or excess, randomly suggest prescriptions, sit for long periods talking much, repeatedly ask questions, which would fatigue and trouble the sick body and confuse and disturb the temperament, causing harm that is far from insignificant. The caregivers should be near middle age in years, with strong benevolent dispositions. When preparing and administering medicines, do not miss the proper timing. In meat, do not eat flesh from wild beasts that died of disease on their own. In aquatic products, do not eat strange-looking mixed fish, nor foods corresponding to the zodiac signs of one's parents or oneself. In vegetables, do not eat out-of-season, nameless, excessively hot, excessively cold, or laxative vegetables. In fruits, do not eat out-of-season, sour and astringent hard-to-digest items, or those infested by insects. Only yellow and white sorghum rice, thin porridge, soft rice, melon, shepherd's purse, radish, ginger sauce, and tender, clean pork and mutton are suitable. Do not let the patient become overly hungry, nor overly full. At this time, one must still avoid all wheat-based pastries, roasted items, fried foods, fatty sweets, and strong flavors. If the skin is about to heal, foul tissue has been completely removed, and the wound is closing, one should still avoid standing up and walking, greeting guests with bows, sexual intercourse, banquets, bathing while angry, climbing heights, traveling, braving cold, or enduring heat. Only when the scar has flattened, spirit returns to normal, and strength is fully restored, are there no further taboos. Within one hundred days, carefully avoid violating these rules. This section applies not only to the care of sores and carbuncles, but also to all chronic conditions involving deficiency and damage; if faithfully observed, it will naturally bring great benefit. Therefore, it is recorded here to be treasured by the world.
