解虎伤毒
麻油一碗饮之即无妨，仍用葛根汤洗伤处，绵试干，香油涂之，再以青布作条燃火入竹
筒中，放烟熏伤处。口渴者，沙糖调水饮之。
蛇毒
凡被蛇伤，即用针刺伤处出血，用雄黄等药敷之，仍须中留一孔，使毒瓦斯得泄，乃内服
解毒等药。凡伤处两头俱用绳扎缚，庶不致毒瓦斯内攻，流布经络。
一方∶治毒蛇咬伤，急取三七捣烂罨之，毒即消散，神妙无比。
一方∶治蛇虫伤毒，用五灵脂、雄黄等分为末，每服二钱，酒调服，仍敷疮留口，如干
燥，须以油润之。凡居山野阴湿之处，每用雄黄如桐子大一丸，烧烟以熏衣袍被褥之类，则
毒不敢侵，百邪皆远避矣。
一、凡蛇入七窍，急以艾灸蛇尾。又法以刀破蛇尾少许，入川椒数粒，以纸封之，蛇自
出。即用雄黄、朱砂末煎人参汤调灌之，或食蒜饮酒，内毒即解。
一、山居人被蛇伤，急用溺洗咬处，拭干，以艾灸之立效。又方∶用独头大蒜切片置患
处，以艾于蒜上灸之，每三壮换蒜，多灸为妙，凡被毒蛇所伤皆效。
《肘后方》∶用小蒜捣汁服，滓敷伤处。
雄黄辟蛇毒
南海地多蛇，而广府尤甚。某侍郎为帅，闻雄黄能禁制此毒，乃卖数百两分贮绢囊，挂
于寝室四隅。经月余，一日，卧榻外常有黑汁从上滴下，臭甚，使人穿承尘窥之，则巨蟒横
其上死腐矣。于是尽令撤去障蔽，蛇死者长丈许，大如柱，旁又得十数条，皆蟠虬成窠，并
他屋内所驱放者合数百，自是官舍清宁。
疯犬伤人
急于无风处吮出疮口恶血，如或无血，则以针刺出血，用小便洗净，外用香油调雄黄少
加麝香敷之。一、凡遇恶犬咬伤，如仓卒无药，即以百草霜、麻油调敷，或用葱捣烂贴之，
牛粪敷之，或蚯蚓粪敷之，或口嚼杏仁烂敷之，皆能救急。如少延缓，恐毒瓦斯入经为害。一
方∶拔去顶上红发，急令人吮去恶血，以艾灸伤处五、七壮，甚者灸百壮，神效。一方∶用
米泔水洗净，沙糖敷之。一方∶用杏仁炒黑，捣成膏贴之。
避犬法
《琐碎录》云∶凡行道遇恶犬，即以左手大拇指掐寅上，吹气一口，轮至戌上掐之，犬即退伏。
糯米散 治疯犬伤毒。
大斑蝥（二十一个，去头足翅）
上用糯米一撮，先将斑蝥七个入米内，慢火炒，勿令焦，去蝥；又入七个，炒令焦色变
，又去之；再入七个炒米赤烟为度，去蝥不用，只将米研为末。分三分，冷水入香油少许，
空心调下一服，须臾又进一服，以二便利下恶物为度。若腹痛，急以青靛调冷水解之，或先
用黄连、甘草煎汤，待冷服之，不可食热物。或用冷水调益元散解之，甚妙。甚者，终身禁
食犬肉，每见食犬肉而复作者不救。又见单服斑蝥而死者亦有之，盖斑蝥毒之尤者，虽曰以
毒攻毒，惟少用之。兹用糯米以夺其气，尤宜预备青靛、黄连以解其毒，而况单服斑蝥者，
岂有不死？
《宝鉴》定风散 治诸犬伤毒。
南星（生用） 防风（等分）
上为末。凡被犬咬，先以口含浆水吮洗伤处，或小便、盐汤俱可，洗净，用绵拭干，方
上药末，即不发。或用制过南星一、二钱为末，以童便调下。亦可治破伤风。
诸犬咬虫伤灸法
凡野狼、犬、蛇、蝎、蜈蚣诸伤痛极危急，或因伤受风而牙关紧急，腰背反胀，不省人事
者，速切蒜片或捣烂罨伤处，隔蒜灸之，或二、三十壮，或四、五十壮，无不应手而愈，取
效多矣，故《本草》谓蒜疗疮毒，有回生之功。夫积在肠胃，尚为难疗，况四肢受患，则经
络远绝，药不易及，故古人有淋洗灸刺等法，正为通经逐邪，导引气血而设也。
解毒散 一名国老饮。治蛊毒及一切蛇虫恶兽所伤，重者毒瓦斯入腹，则眼黑口噤，手足
强直。此药平易，不伤元气，大有神效，不可以易而忽之也。
明矾 甘草（各一两）
上为末。每服二钱，不拘时冷水调下，亦可敷患处。
治马咬伤 毒瓦斯入心则危。
马齿苋捣烂煎汤服，外以栗子嚼敷患处。
蜈蚣毒
以盐擦咬处，或盐汤洗伤处，痛即止。用后蝎螫方最妙，已试。一方∶用吴茱萸嚼烂擦
之，或取井底泥敷之。
解误吞蜈蚣方
昔有婢用火筒吹火，不知内有蜈蚣，向火一吹，蜈蚣惊窜入口，不觉下喉，求救，人无
措手。适有人云取小鸡一只，断喉取血顿饮之，复灌以香油取吐，蜈蚣随出。
蝎螫毒
用生半夏、白矾等分为末，以醋和敷伤处（亦治蜈蚣伤，无白矾亦可）。又蝎怕胆矾，蛇
性雄黄。徐春甫云∶亲见蝎螫肿痛用胆矾擦之立消。可见南方人家不可无雄黄，北方人家不
可无胆矾，此制蝎第一药也。
解蜂螫毒
以小便洗擦拭干，以香油涂之。或以雄黄末擦之。或以蝎螫方治之。
治鼠咬毒
猫毛烧存性，入麝香少许，香油调敷伤处则不害。
治误吞水蛭
昔一人夜间饮水，误吞水蛭入腹，经停日久，复生水蛭，食人肝血，腹痛不可忍，面目
黄瘦，全不进食，不治必死。方用田中泥一块，小死鱼三枚，同猪膏溶捣匀，再用巴豆十粒
去油，同鱼膏四味捣匀，丸如绿豆大。用田中冷水吞下，大人五、七丸，小儿三丸，须臾泻
下水蛭尽，却用八珍汤调理。
中蚯蚓毒
锻石泡热水凉洗患处，久浸之则愈。小儿多受蚯蚓毒，则阴茎及囊俱肿如水泡，用鸭血
涂之，或以鸭口含少时则消。一方∶用盐汤温洗之即效。
治蚕咬毒 蚕咬人，毒入肉中，令人发寒热。
苎叶捣敷之，汁涂之。今治蚕家以苎近蚕，则蚕不生发也。
解蜘蛛咬毒
姜汁调胡粉敷疮口，或用清油擦之，内饮羊乳。
《本草》云∶蜘蛛咬人，令人一身生丝，惟羊乳饮之可解。贞元十年，崔员外从质云目
击有人被蜘蛛咬，腹大如孕，其家弃之，乞食于道，一僧遇之，教饮羊乳，未几日而平。
《青囊》神授散 治传尸劳瘵，血气末甚虚损者，不必多方，只以此药早服，则虫自不
能为患。无有不愈者。此方得之河南郡王府，济世之功不可尽述。
川椒（二升，去合口者，略炒出汗）
上为细末，空心米饮调服二钱。或酒煮米粉糊为丸，桐子大。每服三十丸，以渐增至五
、六十丸，或用酒送。
解射工溪毒 葱白散。治溪涧中射工虫专射行人形影，人中其毒，则病如疟状，或若伤
寒，俗云沙发，中之深者死，急用后方治之。
葱白（一握，切） 豉（半升） 葛根（二两） 升麻（七钱半）

《千金》治大孔虫痒方
用大枣蒸烂为膏，以水银和捻长二、三寸许，绵裹纳大孔中过宿，明旦虫皆出。但水银
损肠，宜慎之。愚按∶此方水银不必生用，但如治头虱法，烧烟以枣肉拌之用，必更妙。头
发生虱方在新因。
雄麝散 治五种蛊毒。
明雄黄 麝香（各一字，另研）
用生羊肺一指大，以刀切开，安药在内吞下。
《医林》丹砂丸 治蛊毒。

一方∶明矾、芽茶，等分为末，凉水调三钱。
一方∶青蓝汁，频频服半合则解。
一方∶石榴皮，煎汁饮之，当吐出活虫而愈。
解虎伤毒
喝下一碗麻油，就不会有妨碍。仍然用葛根汤清洗受伤部位，用绵布拭干，涂上香油，再用青布做成条状点燃火放入竹筒中，用烟熏烤受伤处。口渴的人，用沙糖调水饮用。
蛇毒
凡是遭到蛇咬伤，立即用针刺破伤口出血，用雄黄等药物敷在伤口上，中间必须留一个孔，使毒气得以排出，然后内服解毒等药物。凡是受伤处的两头都要用绳子扎紧束缚，这样才不会导致毒气向内攻入，流窜于经络之中。
一方：治疗毒蛇咬伤，急忙取三七捣烂敷在伤口上，毒气就会消散，效果神妙无比。
一方：治疗蛇虫咬伤中毒，用五灵脂、雄黄各等分研成末，每次服用二钱，用酒调服，同时外敷疮口并留出洞口，如果干燥了，需要用油滋润它。凡是居住在山野阴湿之处，经常用如梧桐子大一丸的雄黄，烧烟来熏衣服、袍子、被褥之类，那么毒气就不敢侵犯，各种邪气都会远远避开。
一、凡是蛇进入七窍，急忙用艾灸蛇尾。又一种方法是用刀切开蛇尾少许，放入川椒几粒，用纸封住，蛇自己就会出来。立即用雄黄、朱砂末煎人参汤调匀灌服，或者吃蒜喝酒，体内的毒气就会解除。
一、居住在山里的人被蛇咬伤，急忙用尿液清洗咬伤处，擦干，用艾灸它立刻见效。又一方：用独头大蒜切片放在患处，在蒜上艾灸，每灸三壮换一片蒜，多灸为好，凡是遭到毒蛇咬伤都有效。
《肘后方》：用小蒜捣汁服用，药渣敷在伤口处。
雄黄辟蛇毒
南海地区多蛇，而广府尤其严重。某侍郎担任统帅，听说雄黄能禁制这种毒气，于是卖掉几百两雄黄分别装在绢囊里，挂在寝室的四个角落。经过一个多月，一天，卧榻外面常有黑汁从上面滴下来，气味很臭，让人穿上承尘（天花板）窥视，则看到一条巨蟒横在上面死腐烂了。于是全部命令撤去遮蔽物，死的蛇长达一丈多，粗如柱子，旁边又得到十几条，都是盘曲成巢，连同其他屋内驱赶放出的合起来有数百条，从此官舍清净安宁。
疯犬伤人
急忙在无风的地方吮出疮口的恶血，如果没有血流出，就用针刺破出血，用小便洗净，外用香油调雄黄少加麝香敷在伤口上。一、凡是遇到恶犬咬伤，如果仓促间没有药，就用百草霜、麻油调敷，或者用葱捣烂贴敷，牛粪敷，或者蚯蚓粪敷，或者口嚼杏仁烂敷，都能救急。如果稍微拖延，恐怕毒气进入经络造成危害。一方：拔去头顶上的红发，急忙让人吮去恶血，用艾灸受伤处五、七壮，严重的灸百壮，效果神效。一方：用米泔水洗净，沙糖敷。一方：用杏仁炒黑，捣成膏贴敷。
避犬法
《琐碎录》说：凡是走路遇到恶犬，就用左手大拇指掐寅位，吹一口气，轮转到戌位掐之，狗就会退下趴伏。
糯米散 治疗疯犬咬伤中毒。
大斑蝥（二十一个，去掉头足翅）
以上用糯米一撮，先将七个斑蝥放入米内，慢火炒，不要让它们焦，去掉斑蝥；又放入七个，炒到颜色变焦，又去掉；再放入七个炒到米发红冒烟为度，去掉斑蝥不用，只将米研成末。分成三份，冷水加入少许香油，空腹调服一份，一会儿再进一份，以大小便排出恶物为限度。如果腹痛，急忙用青靛调冷水解之，或者先用黄连、甘草煎汤，待冷后服用，不可吃热物。或者用冷水调益元散解之，非常奇妙。严重的，终身禁止吃狗肉，每每看见吃狗肉后又发作的无法救治。又看见单服斑蝥而死的也有，大概斑蝥是毒性特别大的，虽然说以毒攻毒，只有少量使用才合适。这里用糯米来夺取它的毒性，尤其应该预备青靛、黄连来解它的毒，何况单服斑蝥的，难道有不死的？
《宝鉴》定风散 治疗各种犬咬伤中毒。
南星（生用） 防风（等分）
以上研成末。凡是遭到狗咬，先用口含浆水吮洗伤口，或者用小便、盐汤都可以，洗净，用绵布拭干，才上药末，就不会发病。或者用制过的南星一两二钱研成末，用童便调服。也可以治疗破伤风。
诸犬咬虫伤灸法
凡是野狼、狗、蛇、蝎、蜈蚣等各种伤痛极其危急，或者因为受伤受风而导致牙关紧急，腰背反张，不省人事的，迅速切蒜片或捣烂敷在伤口处，隔蒜灸之，或者二、三十壮，或者四、五十壮，没有不随手痊愈的，取得疗效很多，所以《本草》说蒜治疗疮毒，有回生的功效。病积在肠胃，尚且难治，何况四肢受患，则经络遥远隔绝，药物不容易到达，所以古人有淋洗、灸、刺等方法，正是为了通经逐邪，引导气血而设立的。
解毒散 又名国老饮。治疗蛊毒以及一切蛇虫恶兽所伤，重的毒气进入腹部，则眼睛发黑口噤，手足强直。此药平易，不伤元气，大有神效，不可以因为它平淡而忽视它。
明矾 甘草（各一两）
以上研成末。每次服用二钱，不拘时候用冷水调下，也可以敷患处。
治疗马咬伤 毒气进入心脏则危险。
马齿苋捣烂煎汤服用，外用栗子嚼碎敷患处。
蜈蚣毒
用盐擦咬伤处，或者用盐汤洗伤口，疼痛就停止。用后面蝎螫方最妙，已经试过。一方：用吴茱萸嚼烂擦之，或者取井底泥敷之。
解误吞蜈蚣方
过去有个婢女用火筒吹火，不知道里面有蜈蚣，对着火一吹，蜈蚣受惊窜入口中，不知不觉吞下喉咙，求救，人们没有办法。恰好有人说取小鸡一只，切断喉咙取血立刻喝下，再灌以香油催吐，蜈蚣随之吐出。
蝎螫毒
用生半夏、白矾各等分研成末，用醋调和敷在伤口处（也治疗蜈蚣伤，没有白矾也可以）。另外蝎子怕胆矾，蛇性畏雄黄。徐春甫说：亲眼见到蝎子螫伤肿痛用胆矾擦拭立刻消退。可见南方人家不可没有雄黄，北方人家不可没有胆矾，这是制服蝎子的第一良药。
解蜂螫毒
用小便清洗擦拭干，涂上香油。或者用雄黄末擦之。或者用蝎螫方治疗。
治鼠咬毒
猫毛烧存性，加入少许麝香，香油调敷伤口处就没有害处。
治误吞水蛭
过去一个人夜间喝水，误吞水蛭入腹，停留日久，又生水蛭，吃人肝血，腹痛不可忍受，面目黄瘦，完全不吃东西，不治必死。方用田中泥一块，小死鱼三条，同猪膏溶化捣匀，再用巴豆十粒去油，同鱼膏四味捣匀，丸如绿豆大。用田中冷水吞下，大人五、七丸，小儿三丸，一会儿泻下水蛭尽净，却用八珍汤调理。
中蚯蚓毒
锻石泡热水凉洗患处，久浸之则愈。小儿多受蚯蚓毒，则阴茎及囊俱肿如水泡，用鸭血涂之，或者用鸭嘴含少时则消。一方：用盐汤温洗之即效。
治蚕咬毒 蚕咬人，毒入肉中，令人发寒热。
苎叶捣敷之，汁涂之。现在养蚕的人把苎靠近蚕，蚕就不生长发育了。
解蜘蛛咬毒
姜汁调胡粉敷疮口，或者用清油擦之，内饮羊乳。
《本草》说：蜘蛛咬人，令人全身生出丝状物，只有喝羊乳可以解。贞元十年，崔员外从质说目击有人被蜘蛛咬，肚子大如怀孕，家人抛弃他，他在路上乞食，一个僧人遇到他，教他喝羊乳，没过几天就好了。
《青囊》神授散 治疗传尸劳瘵，血气尚未严重虚损的，不必多方，只以此药早上服用，则虫子自然不能为患。没有不愈的。此方得自河南郡王府，济世之功不可尽述。
川椒（二升，去掉合口者，略炒出汗）
以上研成细末，空腹米饮调服二钱。或者用酒煮米粉糊为丸，梧桐子大。每次服用三十丸，逐渐增加到五、六十丸，或者用酒送服。
解射工溪毒 葱白散。治疗溪涧中射工虫专门射击行人的形影，人中了其毒，则病像疟疾一样，或者像伤寒，俗称为沙发，中的深的会死，急忙用后方治疗。
葱白（一握，切） 豉（半升） 葛根（二两） 升麻（七钱半）
以上锉如豆大。每次服用四钱匕，水二盏，煎至一盏，去滓。不拘时候温服，过一段时间再服。
《千金》雄黄兑散 治疗时气病，下部生虫。
雄黄（半两） 桃仁（一两） 青葙子 黄连 苦参（各三两）
以上五味研成末，用绵裹如枣核大，纳入下部。也可以用枣汁服方寸匕，每天三次。
《千金》治大孔虫痒方
用大枣蒸烂为膏，用水银和捻长二、三寸许，用绵裹纳大孔中过夜，第二天早晨虫子都出来了。但是水银损伤肠道，应该谨慎。我认为：此方水银不必生用，只要像治疗头虱的方法，烧烟用枣肉拌着用，一定更妙。头发生虱方在新因。
雄麝散 治疗五种蛊毒。
明雄黄 麝香（各一字，另研）
用生羊肺一指大，用刀切开，把药安在里面吞下。
《医林》丹砂丸 治疗蛊毒。
雄黄 朱砂（各另研） 藜芦（略炒） 鬼臼 巴豆霜（各二钱半）

用小麦面二合，分为三服，用冷水调下，半天服完，应当下蛊即好。
挑生蛊毒简易方
一方：明矾、芽茶，等分为末，凉水调三钱。
一方：青蓝汁，频频服半合则解。
一方：石榴皮，煎汁饮之，应当吐出活虫而愈。
Relieving Tiger Bite Poison
Drink a bowl of sesame oil, and there will be no harm. Still use Ge Gen Tang (Kudzu Root Decoction) to wash the injured area, dry it with cotton cloth, apply sesame oil, then make strips of blue cloth, ignite them, place them in a bamboo tube, and smoke the injured area with the smoke. For those with thirst, drink water mixed with rock sugar.
Snake Poison
Whenever bitten by a snake, immediately prick the wound with a needle to bleed, apply drugs such as Xiong Huang (Realgar) to the wound, but must leave one hole in the center to allow the poison gas to escape, then take internal detoxifying medicines. Both ends of the injured area should be tied tightly with rope so that the poison gas does not attack inward or spread through the meridians.
One prescription: To treat venomous snake bites, quickly take San Qi (Notoginseng Root), crush it, and apply it to the wound; the poison will dissipate, which is incredibly miraculous.
One prescription: To treat snake and insect bite poisoning, mix Wu Ling Zhi (Trogopterus Dung) and Xiong Huang (Realgar) in equal parts into powder. Take two qian each time, mixed with wine for administration, and still apply externally to the sore leaving an opening. If it dries out, moisten it with oil. Whenever living in damp and shady places in mountains and wilds, often use a pill of Xiong Huang (Realreg) the size of a paulownia seed, burn it to produce smoke to fumigate clothes, robes, quilts, etc., so that poison dare not invade, and all evils will stay far away.
First, if a snake enters the seven orifices, urgently moxa-burn the snake's tail. Another method: cut the snake's tail slightly with a knife, insert a few grains of Chuan Jiao (Sichuan Pepper), seal it with paper, and the snake will come out on its own. Immediately decoct Ren Shen Tang (Ginseng Decoction) with Xiong Huang (Realgar) and Zhu Sha (Cinnabar) powder, mix well, and administer orally, or eat garlic and drink alcohol, and the internal poison will be resolved.
First, people living in the mountains bitten by snakes should urgently wash the bite with urine, wipe dry, and moxa-burn it for immediate effect. Another prescription: Place slices of Du Tou Da Suan (Single-clove Garlic) on the affected area, moxa-burn on top of the garlic, change the garlic after every three moxa cones; more moxa-burning is better. It is effective for all venomous snake bites.
*Zhou Hou Fang*: Crush small suan (Allium macrostemon) to extract juice, drink it, and apply the residue to the wound.
Xiong Huang (Realgar) Repelling Snake Poison
The Nanhai region has many snakes, especially Guangfu. A certain Vice Minister serving as commander heard that Xiong Huang (Realgar) could suppress this poison, so he sold hundreds of taels of it, stored them separately in silk bags, and hung them in the four corners of his bedroom. After more than a month, one day, black liquid dripped from above outside the bed, smelling very foul. Someone wearing a ceiling covering looked up and saw a giant python lying dead and rotting on top. Then all obstructions were ordered to be removed. The dead snakes were over ten feet long and as thick as pillars; another dozen or so were found nearby, coiled into nests, along with hundreds driven out from other rooms. From then on, the official residence was peaceful and quiet.
Mad Dog Bites
Urgently suck out the bad blood from the wound in a windless place. If there is no blood, prick the skin with a needle to induce bleeding, wash with urine, and externally apply Xiong Huang (Realgar) mixed with a little She Xiang (Musk) in sesame oil. First, whenever encountering a vicious dog bite, if medicine is unavailable in haste, apply Bai Cao Shuang (Charred Herb Powder) mixed with sesame oil, or apply crushed scallion, cow dung, earthworm dung, or chewed bitter almond paste, all of which can save emergencies. If delayed even slightly, fear that the poison gas will enter the meridians and cause harm. One prescription: Pluck red hairs from the crown of the head, urgently have someone suck out the bad blood, moxa-burn the injured area five to seven cones; for severe cases, moxa-burn one hundred cones, which is miraculously effective. One prescription: Wash with rice washing water, apply rock sugar. One prescription: Stir-fry bitter almonds until black, crush into paste, and apply.
Method to Avoid Dogs
*Suo Sui Lu* says: Whenever encountering a vicious dog while walking, pinch the Yin position with the thumb of the left hand, blow a breath of air, then move to the Xu position and pinch it; the dog will retreat and crouch.
Nuomi San (Glutinous Rice Powder) Treating Mad Dog Bite Poison
Da Ban Mao (Large Mylabris Beetle) (21 pieces, remove heads, feet, and wings)
Take a pinch of glutinous rice. First, put seven Ban Mao into the rice, stir-fry slowly over low heat without letting them burn, then remove the beetles; add another seven, stir-fry until they turn scorched color, then remove; add the final seven, stir-fry until the rice turns red and smokes, then remove the beetles. Only grind the rice into powder. Divide into three portions. Mix one portion with cold water and a little sesame oil, take on an empty stomach. After a short while, take another portion. Continue until foul matter is discharged via urination and defecation. If abdominal pain occurs, urgently resolve it by mixing Qing Dian (Indigo Naturalis) with cold water, or first decoct Huang Lian (Coptis Rhizome) and Gan Cao (Licorice Root), let cool, and drink. Do not eat hot food. Alternatively, mix Yi Yuan San (Benefit Origin Powder) with cold water to resolve it, which is excellent. Severe cases must strictly avoid eating dog meat for life; I have seen cases where eating dog meat led to recurrence, which could not be saved. I have also seen deaths from taking only Ban Mao alone. Although Ban Mao is extremely toxic, and although "using poison to attack poison" is said, it should only be used in small doses. Here, using glutinous rice to neutralize its qi is particularly important. One must prepare Qing Dian (Indigo Naturalis) and Huang Lian (Coptis Rhizome) to detoxify it. How much more so for those taking only Ban Mao alone—would they not die?
*Bao Jian* Ding Feng San (Wind-Stabilizing Powder) Treating Various Dog Bite Poisons
Nan Xing (Arisaema Rhizome, raw) Fang Feng (Saposhnikovia Root) (equal parts)
Grind into powder. Whenever bitten by a dog, first suck and wash the wound with mouthfuls of fermented grain water, or use urine or salt water. Wash clean, dry with cotton cloth, then apply the powder; the disease will not develop. Alternatively, use processed Nan Xing (Arisaema Rhizome) one to two qian ground into powder, taken with child's urine. It can also treat tetanus.
Moxa-Burning Method for Dog Bites and Insect Stings
Whenever wounds from wild wolves, dogs, snakes, scorpions, centipedes, etc., are extremely critical, or when wind invasion causes lockjaw, opisthotonos, or unconsciousness, quickly slice garlic or crush it and apply to the wound, then moxa-burn through the garlic. Use twenty to thirty cones, or forty to fifty cones. There is no case that does not heal instantly. Many successes have been achieved. Thus, *Ben Cao* states that garlic treats sores and poisons, having the power to restore life. Accumulations in the intestines and stomach are difficult to treat; how much more so for limbs, where meridians are distant and drugs cannot easily reach? Therefore, ancients established methods like washing, moxibustion, and acupuncture precisely to unblock meridians, expel evil, and guide qi and blood.
Jie Du San (Detoxification Powder), also known as Guo Lao Yin (National Elder Drink). Treats Gu Poison (parasitic poisoning) and injuries from all snakes, insects, and fierce beasts.
