【神灯照法歌】
痈疽的轻症在发病七天左右时，使用神灯照法最为适宜。若脓未形成可自行消散，若已化脓则能促使溃破，立即起效且使腐肉脱落，确实称奇。用油浸透的火把（神灯）在疮周环绕照射，起初使用三根，逐渐增加数量。照射后敷药并贴于患处，若有脓液需用汤剂清洗，不宜拖延。
【注】凡是痈疽轻症，在初起前后七天内，神灯照法最为适宜。能使未成脓者自行消散，已成脓者自行溃破，不起发者随即起发，不腐者随即腐熟，确有奇效。将神灯照用的麻油浸透，用火点燃，距离疮口约半寸，从外向内，环绕徐徐照射，火头向上，药气进入体内，毒邪随火势解散，自然不至于内侵脏腑。起初用三根，逐渐加至四五根，等到疮势逐渐消退时，仍继续照射。但照射后立即敷药，围绕敷贴疮根范围，比疮晕大二三分为标准。疮口用万应膏贴敷。如果干燥或有脓，用猪蹄汤润洗。如果已经溃破，脓液大量排出时，不必再用此照法。

【桑柴火烘法歌】
痈疽初起时肿胀且疼痛，沉重如背负石头般坚硬而不溃脓，桑柴火烘法能解毒，止痛消肿有奇功。取新桑树根劈成条状，木枝长约九寸多，劈得如手指粗细，一头点燃，吹灭明火后用余火烘烤患处。片刻后火尽宜再更换，再用三四枝才灵验，每天须烘烤二三次，直至肿消、溃破、腐肉脱落、新肉生长。
【注】凡是痈疽初起肿痛，沉重如负石，坚硬而不溃破者，用桑柴火烘烤，能解毒止痛，消肿散瘀，毒水一出，即能内消。若已溃破但不腐熟，新肉不生，疼痛不止者，用此法可助阳气，散瘀毒，生肌肉，使病位由深变浅，确有奇效。方法是用新桑树根，劈成条，或桑木枝，长九寸，劈如手指粗细，一头燃着后吹灭，用火向患处烘烤片刻，火尽再换。每次烘烤三四枝，每日烘烤二三次，以感到温热、肿消、溃破、肉腐为标准，这是古法。但桑柴火力很猛，宜用于未溃之前，可以生发阳气，速溃速腐。如果已经溃破之后，或者疮口寒冷，或者天气寒冷，或者肌肉生长迟缓者，也必须烘烤，使肌肉常保持温暖。方法是将桑木烧作红炭，用漏勺盛之，悬于患处以上，从四周围烘至疮口，或高或低，总以疮口感到温热为标准。每天烘烤后，再更换敷贴的药物。因为肌肉遇暖则生长，溃后烘烤法，也是疡科所不可缺少的。
[Song of the Divine Lamp Illumination Method]
For mild cases of carbuncles and sores around the seventh day after onset, the Divine Lamp Illumination Method is most appropriate. If pus has not yet formed, it can resolve spontaneously; if pus has already formed, it promotes ulceration. It takes effect immediately and causes necrotic tissue to slough off, truly remarkable. A torch soaked in oil (Divine Lamp) is used to illuminate the area surrounding the lesion. Initially, three lamps are used, gradually increasing the number. After illumination, medicaments should be applied and patched onto the affected area. If pus is present, it should be washed with a decoction without delay.
[Note] For mild cases of carbuncles and sores within seven days before or after onset, the Divine Lamp Illumination Method is most suitable. It enables lesions that have not yet suppurrated to resolve spontaneously, and those that have suppurrated to ulcerate spontaneously. Lesions that do not rise will subsequently rise, and those that do not putrefy will subsequently putrefy, demonstrating remarkable efficacy. The hemp seed oil-soaked wicks for the Divine Lamp are lit by fire, held approximately half an inch away from the sore, and slowly illuminated in a circular motion from the outside inward, with the flame pointing upward. The medicinal vapor enters the interior, and toxic pathogens disperse with the heat, preventing internal invasion of the Zang-Fu organs. Start with three lamps, gradually increasing to four or five. Continue illumination as the lesion's severity subsides. Immediately after illumination, apply medicaments, covering the base of the lesion, extending two or three fen larger than the erythema. Apply Wanying Gao (Universal Plaster) to the wound opening. If dry or purulent, rinse with Zhu Ti Tang (Pig Trotter Decoction). If already ulcerated with profuse discharge, this illumination method is unnecessary.
Formula for Divine Lamp Illumination Method
Cinnabar (Zhusha), Realgar (Xionghuang), Dragon's Blood (Xuexie), Myrrh (Moyao) (each 2 qian), Musk (Shexiang) (4 fen).
Grind all into a fine powder. Use 3 fen per application. Wrap the powder in red cotton paper, roll into a stick seven cun long, soak thoroughly in sesame oil, and set aside for use.
[Prescription Song] The Divine Lamp Illumination Method acts quickly and urgently; Musk, Myrrh, Realgar, Cinnabar, and Dragon's Blood are suitable. Grind into powder, wrap in paper, moisten with sesame oil, ignite to fumigate the sore, driving away fire-toxins.
[Song of Mulberry Wood Fire Roasting Method]
When carbuncles and sores first appear with swelling and pain, feeling heavy as if bearing a stone, hard without suppuration, the Mulberry Wood Fire Roasting Method can detoxify, relieve pain, reduce swelling, and eliminate edema with remarkable efficacy. Use new mulberry tree roots split into strips, or branches about nine cun long, split to the thickness of a finger. Ignite one end, blow out the open flame, and roast the affected area with the residual heat. Replace when the fire burns out; using three or four sticks yields better results. Roast two to three times daily until swelling subsides, ulceration occurs, necrotic tissue sloughs off, and new flesh grows.
[Note] For initial carbuncles and sores presenting with swelling, pain, heaviness like bearing a stone, hardness, and lack of suppuration, roasting with mulberry wood can detoxify, relieve pain, reduce swelling, dissipate stasis, and promote internal resolution once toxic fluids exit. If ulcerated but not putrefying, with no new flesh growth and persistent pain, this method aids Yang Qi, dissipates stasis and toxins, generates muscle tissue, and moves deep pathology to superficial levels, demonstrating remarkable efficacy. The method uses new mulberry root split into strips, or mulberry branches nine cun long, split to finger thickness. Ignite one end and blow out the flame. Roast the affected area with the heat for a period, replacing when exhausted. Use three or four sticks per session, twice or thrice daily, stopping when warmth is felt, swelling subsides, ulceration occurs, and tissue putrefies. This is an ancient method. However, mulberry wood fire is intense and should be used before ulceration to generate Yang Qi and accelerate suppuration and putrefaction. After ulceration, if the wound is cold, weather is cold, or flesh growth is delayed, roasting is also necessary to keep the tissue warm. Burn mulberry wood into red charcoal, place in a perforated ladle, suspend above the lesion, and roast from the periphery toward the center, adjusting height based on sensation of warmth. Change dressings after each daily roasting session. Since flesh grows when warm, post-ulceration roasting is indispensable in surgical dermatology.
