许慎说，人患肥脉瘾疹（一种皮肤红肿瘙痒的病症），应当取姓曹的人所用的帛布擦拭患处，病就能痊愈。
灯花灰敷在金疮上可以止血生肉；让疮口变黑；让烛花落下是有喜事到来的征兆，否则是得钱的征兆。（出自《本草》）
赵瞿患有癞病多年，医生无法治愈。于是有人让他收拾行李，将他遗弃在山洞中。赵瞿自怨不幸，叹息哭泣，持续了一个月。有位仙人经过山洞看见他，怜悯他，详细询问了他的情况。赵瞿知道此人不是凡人，便叩头请求饶命。于是仙人从囊中取出药物赐给他，教他服用百余日，疮口愈合，面色红润，肌肤润泽。仙人再次来看望时，赵瞿感谢救命之恩，并乞求留下药方。仙人说：“这是松脂，那里非常多，你可以炼制后服用。长期服用身体会变得轻盈，力气增加百倍，攀登危险高处整天也不感到困倦，活到百岁牙齿不脱落、头发不掉色，夜间睡觉常能看到光亮如镜子一样。”（出自《抱朴子》）
有人患脚疮，冬天突然没事，夏天却臭烂疼痛难忍。一位道人查看后说：“你因为走在草地上，沾染了蛇交配留下的分泌物，疮中有蛇仔，冬天潜伏夏天出来，所以疼痛。”用生蛤蟆捣碎敷在患处，每天换三四次，总共三天，有一条小蛇从疮中爬出，用铁钳夹住取出，病就痊愈了。（出自《摭青杂说》）
指挥使姚欢八十多岁，胡须和头发都不白。他自己说六十岁时患癣疥，遍布头顶到脚跟。有人教他服用黄连，于是痊愈。长期服用因此头发不白。其方法是：选取宣州黄连，去掉须根，用酒浸泡一夜，焙干研为细末，用蜂蜜制成梧桐子大小的药丸，中午和临睡前用酒送服二十粒。（出自《东坡大全》）
五绝是指病人出现五种气已断绝的情况：一曰自缢死，气已绝；二曰被墙壁房屋倒塌压死，气已绝；三曰溺水死，气已绝；四曰鬼魇死（因惊吓或梦魇导致的气闭），气已绝；五曰产乳死（难产而死），气已绝。这些都能救治。问葛生传授给何人这种神术能救人性命？葛生说：“我进山采药时遇到一位白衣人，问我：‘你不是葛医生吗？我是半夏的精魂。’他说如果遇到有五绝之病的人，用我来救治就能活命，只需将我制成粉末，用水泛丸使其干燥，塞入鼻中即可苏醒。”（出自《名医录》）
Xu Shen stated that for a person suffering from Feimai Yin Zhen (a skin condition characterized by redness, swelling, and itching), one should take cloth used by someone surnamed Cao to wipe the affected area, and the illness will be cured.
Denghua Mo (Lamp wick ash) applied to Jin Chuang (metal-inflicted wounds) can stop bleeding and promote flesh regeneration; causing the wound to turn black; if candle wax drops onto it, it is an omen of happy events, otherwise, it is an omen of gaining money. (From *Bencao*)
Zhao Qu suffered from Lai Bing (leprosy or severe scabies) for many years, and physicians could not cure him. Consequently, he was told to pack his belongings and was abandoned in a mountain cave. Zhao Qu lamented his misfortune, sighing and weeping for a month. An Immortal passing by the cave saw him, felt pity, and asked about his situation in detail. Zhao Qu realized this person was extraordinary, kowtowed, and begged for his life. The Immortal then took medicine from his pouch, bestowed it upon him, and instructed him to take it for over a hundred days. Afterward, the sores healed, his complexion became rosy, and his skin and muscles became moist. When the Immortal visited again, Zhao Qu thanked him for saving his life and requested the prescription. The Immortal said, "This is Songzhi (Pine resin). There is plenty of it here. You can refine and take it. Long-term use will make your body light and your strength increase a hundredfold. You can climb dangerous heights all day without fatigue. Living to a hundred years, your teeth will not fall out, your hair will not lose its color, and at night while sleeping, you may often see light as bright as a mirror." (From *Baopuzi*)
A person suffered from Jiao Chuang (foot ulcer). In winter, the condition suddenly resolved, but in summer, it became foul, rotting, and excruciatingly painful. A Daoist examined it and said, "You walked on grass and were contaminated by the secretions left by mating snakes. Snake larvae are inside the wound; they hibernate in winter and emerge in summer, hence the pain." Crush fresh Xiamawa (Toad) and apply it to the lesion, changing it three to four times daily. After three days, a small snake emerged from the wound. It was removed with iron tweezers, and the disease was cured. (From *Zhiqing Zasuo*)
Commander-in-Chief Yao Huan was over eighty years old, yet his beard and hair remained black. He claimed that at sixty, he suffered from Xuanjie (ringworm and scabies) covering his head and heels. Someone advised him to take Huanglian (Coptis Rhizome), after which he recovered. Long-term consumption kept his hair from turning white. The method is: Select Xuanlian (Coptis from Xuancheng), remove the rootlets, soak in wine overnight, dry by baking, grind into powder, and form pills the size of paulownia seeds using honey. Swallow twenty pills with wine at noon and before bed. (From *Dongpo Daquan*)
Wu Jue (Five Extremes/Death-like States) refers to five conditions where the patient's Qi has seemingly ceased: First, death by hanging, Qi is cut off; Second, crushed by collapsing walls or houses, Qi is cut off; Third, drowning, Qi is cut off; Fourth, Gui Yan Si (death by spirit oppression or nightmare-induced Qi closure), Qi is cut off; Fifth, Chanru Si (death during childbirth), Qi is cut off. All these can be treated. Asked whom Ge Sheng learned this divine art from to save lives, Ge Sheng replied, "While gathering herbs in the mountains, I met a man in white who asked, 'Are you not Dr. Ge? I am the essence of Banxia (Pinellia Tuber).' He said that if you encounter someone with Wu Jue, use me to treat them, and they will live. Simply grind me into powder, make pills with water until dry, and insert them into the nose to restore consciousness." (From *Mingyi Lu*)
