Apply powder and ointment alternately into the sore hole fifteen times. Delay slightly over days until cured, flesh fills up, pus stops. Extremely miraculous. (From Volume Six)
The *Zhou Hou Bei Ji Fang* discusses this disease originally in the sores section of various formulas. Since disease types are numerous, it is now presented as a separate chapter. Generally, swelling diseases resemble those caused by mice, snakes, bees, frogs, and earthworms, with slight differences. These arise from essence obtained through diet, entering the body's tissues, changing form. Once the sore perforates and invades the meridians, it can be fatal. Mice and ants are most common because they are close to humans.
