孙真人治狂犬咬法∶春末夏初,犬多狂 ,其时咬伤人至死者,世皆忽之不以为事。
其被咬人则精神失守,发为狂疾。诸般符药治疗,莫过于灸。便于所咬处灸百炷,自后日灸
一炷,不可一日阙。灸满百日,方得免祸,终身勿食犬肉、蚕蛹,食之毒发即死。又特忌初见
疮较痛止,自言平复,此最可畏,大祸即至,死在旦夕。若被咬已经三四日方欲灸者,视疮中
有毒血,先刺出之,然后灸。
上诸灸法皆救仓卒患难,所有人神血支血忌,及大风大雨,病患本命,并不避忌。务发
敬信心,疾速检用,得此本能,多多转授他人,庶几与我同志也。
凡点灸时,须得身体平直,四肢无令拳缩,坐点无令俯仰,立点无令倾侧。灸时孔穴
不正,无益于事,徒烧好肉,须忍痛楚之苦。凡病先灸于上,后灸于下,先灸于少,后灸于多,
皆宜审之。
凡下火点灸,欲令艾炷根下赤辉广三分。若三分孔穴不中,不合得经络,缘荣卫经脉气
血通流,各有所主,艾穴不中,即火气不能远达,而病未能愈矣。
古来用火灸病,忌八般木火,切宜避之。八木者,松木火难差增病,柏木火伤神多汗,
竹木火伤筋目暗,榆木火伤骨失志,桑木火伤肉肉枯,枣木火内伤吐血,枳实火大伤气脉,
橘木火伤荣卫经络。有火珠耀日以艾亟之,遂得火出。此火灸病为良,凡人卒难备矣。次有
火照耀日以引之,便得火出,此火亦佳。若遇天色阴暗,遂难得火。今即不如无木火也,灸
人不犯诸忌,兼去久 ,清油点灯,灯上烧艾茎,点灸是也。兼滋润,灸后至疮愈易安,且无
疼痛。用蜡烛更佳,诸蕃部落知此八木火之忌,用镔铁击KT 石得火出,以艾引之,遂乃着灸。
孙思邈治疗狂犬咬伤的方法:春末夏初,狗容易发狂,此时被狗咬伤致死的案例很多,世人往往忽视,不把它当回事。
那些被咬的人精神失守,引发狂病。各种符咒药物进行治疗,都不如艾灸。在被咬的地方直接施灸一百壮,之后每天灸一壮,不可有一天中断。灸满一百天,才能免除灾祸,终身不要吃狗肉和蚕蛹,吃了毒发就会死亡。又特别忌讳刚看到伤口疼痛停止,自己说已经康复,这最可怕,大祸马上就到,死在旦夕之间。如果被咬已经三四天才想艾灸,要看伤口中有毒血,先刺破排出,然后再灸。
以上各种灸法都是用于急救危难,所有关于人神、血支血的禁忌,以及大风大雨天气,病患的本命日,都不需要避忌。务必保持恭敬信心,迅速检查使用,得到这个本能方法,多多传授给他人,希望与我志同道合的人也能受益。
凡是在点灸时,必须让身体平直,四肢不要蜷缩,坐着点灸不要让身体前俯后仰,站着点灸不要让身体倾斜侧歪。灸时的孔穴如果不正,对事情没有益处,白白烧坏好肉,必须忍受疼痛之苦。凡是治病,先灸上部,后灸下部;先灸少处,后灸多处,都应该仔细审察。
凡是下火点灸,希望艾炷根部下的红光范围宽三分。如果三分的孔穴位置不对,不合经络,因为营卫经脉气血流通,各有主管,艾穴不中,那么火气就不能远达,而病就不能痊愈了。
古来用火灸病,忌讳八种木材的火,切宜避开。八木是:松木火难治愈且增加病情,柏木火损伤精神多汗,竹木火损伤筋脉导致目暗,榆木火损伤骨骼导致失志,桑木火损伤肌肉导致肉枯,枣木火内伤导致吐血,枳实火大伤气脉,橘木火损伤营卫经络。有火珠照耀太阳用艾草引燃,于是得出火。这种火灸病很好,但凡人很难准备。其次有镜子照耀太阳引出火,便得火出,这种火也很好。如果遇到天色阴暗,就难得火。现在就不如不用木火了,灸人不犯各种禁忌,加上去掉久积的污垢,用清油点灯,在灯上烧艾茎,点灸就是。兼滋润,灸后至疮愈容易安定,而且无疼痛。用蜡烛更好,各蕃部落知道这八种木火的禁忌,用镔铁敲击燧石得火出,用艾草引燃,于是进行灸治。
Sun Simiao's method for treating rabies bites: In late spring and early summer, dogs often go mad. During this time, people bitten by dogs who die are numerous, yet the world generally ignores it and does not consider it a serious matter.
Those who are bitten lose their spiritual control and develop manic disorders (Kuangji). Among various talismans and medicines for treatment, none is superior to moxibustion. Apply one hundred moxa cones directly at the bite site. Thereafter, apply one moxa cone daily without missing a single day. After completing one hundred days of moxibustion, disaster can be avoided. One must never eat dog meat or silkworm pupae in their lifetime; consuming them will cause the poison to erupt and lead to death. Furthermore, one must be particularly wary of the situation where the wound pain stops initially, and the patient claims to have recovered. This is most terrifying, as great disaster is imminent, and death may occur within a day or evening. If one wishes to perform moxibustion three or four days after being bitten, observe if there is toxic blood in the wound; prick and drain it first, then perform moxibustion.
All the aforementioned moxibustion methods are for emergency relief. All taboos regarding Human Spirit (Renshen) and Blood Branch Blood (Xuezhixue), as well as conditions of strong wind and heavy rain, and the patient's natal destiny day, need not be avoided. One must maintain a reverent and confident mind, quickly examine and use these methods. Having acquired this innate skill, pass it on to others generously, hoping that those with similar aspirations may benefit.
When performing moxibustion, the body must be kept straight. The limbs should not be curled. When seated, avoid leaning forward or backward. When standing, avoid tilting to either side. If the acupoint (Kuxue) is not accurately located during moxibustion, it yields no benefit and merely burns healthy flesh; one must endure the suffering of pain. Generally, when treating illness, moxibustion should be applied to the upper parts before the lower parts, and to fewer points before more points. These principles should be carefully considered.
When applying fire for moxibustion, the red glow under the base of the moxa cone should spread three fen (approx. 1 cm). If the three-fen area does not align with the acupoint or meridian, it is ineffective. Since Ying-Wei (Nutritive and Defensive) meridians and Qi-Blood flow have specific dominions, if the moxa point is misplaced, the fire energy cannot reach far, and the disease will not be cured.
Since ancient times, using fire for moxibustion has required avoiding eight types of wood fires, which must be strictly shunned. The eight woods are: Pine wood fire is difficult to cure and may aggravate the illness; Cypress wood fire damages the spirit and causes excessive sweating; Bamboo wood fire damages tendons and leads to dim vision; Elm wood fire damages bones and causes loss of will; Mulberry wood fire damages flesh and causes emaciation; Jujube wood fire causes internal injury and hematemesis; Zhi Shi (Immature Bitter Orange) fire severely damages Qi and vessels; Tangerine wood fire damages Ying-Wei and meridians. Fire obtained by focusing sunlight with a crystal lens onto mugwort is excellent for moxibustion, though difficult for ordinary people to prepare. Alternatively, using a mirror to focus sunlight to ignite the mugwort is also good. However, on cloudy or dark days, obtaining fire is difficult. Therefore, it is better to abandon wood fires altogether. To avoid all taboos for moxibustion, remove old impurities, light a lamp with pure oil, burn the stem of the mugwort on the lamp flame, and use this for moxibustion. This method provides moisture, facilitates easier healing of wounds after moxibustion, and reduces pain. Using candles is even better. Various foreign tribes know the taboos of the eight wood fires; they strike iron against flint to create sparks, ignite the mugwort, and proceed with moxibustion.
