茅昆来家传的医方中有蓬莱火疗法:使用西黄、雄黄、乳香、没药、丁香、麝香、火消各等分。去掉西黄,加入硼砂、草乌,也可以。用紫棉纸包裹药末,捻成条状,粗细如同官香,以紧实为关键。治病时剪取二三分长的一段,用粽叶粘附在患处皮肤上点燃,不超过三次即可除根。如果穴位点得准确,灸至药物燃尽,皮肉起泡爆裂,疾病立即痊愈。每次三壮,重症不过三次即可除根,不再复发。灸后忌食猪肉,待疮口平复后再食用,这是茅氏家传五代验证有效的神验方。
治疗风痹、跌打损伤、瘰疬(均按患处施灸)。水胀、膈气、胃气(按穴位施灸)。
赵学敏汇集的要方:古代有烙法,如今很少使用。不仅是粗劣的医生不知道如何使用,而且患者见到也会感到惊恐,所以用此法替代。方法是用干蟾酥切成薄片焙干研细,朱砂水飞处理、川乌、草乌各五分,僵蚕一条,分别研细。将硫黄一两五钱放入勺内,用微火熔化,加入药末搅拌均匀,急搅是关键,迟了就会凝固。倒入瓷盆内,迅速结成片状,待冷却后收存备用。使用时取甜瓜子大小的一块,上尖下平,先用枣肉擦拭患处,将药块粘在上面,用香火点燃,即起火焰,五壮、七壮或九壮,根据病症施用。灸完后立即饮用半酒杯米醋,等待起小泡,用线针穿破,流出少许黄水,用膏药盖住,毒性即消除(此方遗漏写了冰片、麝香两味药,原稿眉批注)。
治疗湿痰流注。附骨阴疽、寒湿疮毒、经久不消,内部溃烂但不痛的,能使未形成的消散,已形成的溃破,已溃破的收敛。如果是风痹,用竹筷点按,有酸痛的地方,用笔蘸墨标记,照着墨迹施灸。如果腿膝疼痛,灸鬼眼穴。各种疮疡初起,灸三五壮即可痊愈。
Mao Kunlai's family medical heritage includes the "Penglai Fire" method: equal parts of Xihuang (Bezoar), Xionghuang (Realgar), Ruxiang (Frankincense), Moyao (Myrrh), Dingxiang (Clove), Shexiang (Musk), and Huoxiao (Saltpeter). Remove Xihuang, adding Pengsha (Borax) and Caowu (Aconitum carmichaelii lateral root processed) is also acceptable. Wrap the powdered medicine in purple cotton paper, roll into strips as thick as official incense sticks, ensuring they are tight and solid. For treating diseases, cut a segment two or three fen long, attach it to the affected skin using sticky rice paste, and ignite it. The disease can be eradicated within no more than three applications. If the acupoints are accurately selected, moxibustion until the medication is consumed will cause the skin and flesh to blister and burst, leading to immediate recovery. Each session consists of three zhuang (moxa cones); severe cases require no more than three sessions to eradicate the disease and prevent recurrence. After moxibustion, pork should be avoided until the wound heals flat; this is a divine and effective formula tested for five generations by the Mao family.
It treats wind-bi (Wind-Dampness obstruction), traumatic injuries, and scrofula (apply moxibustion directly on the affected area). It also treats water swelling, diaphragmatic qi stagnation, and stomach qi disorders (apply moxibustion on specific acupoints).
Collected essential formulas by Zhao: In ancient times, cauterization was used, but it is rarely employed today. Not only do incompetent physicians not know how to use it, but patients are also terrified by it; thus, this method serves as a substitute. The method involves slicing dried Toad Venom (Gan Chansu) into thin slices, drying them over fire, and grinding them into powder. Cinnabar (Zhusha) treated with water flotation, Chuanwu (Aconitum carmichaelii lateral root prepared), Caowu (Aconitum carmichaelii lateral root raw) each at 5 fen, and one Silkworm (Jiangcan), all ground finely. Place 1 liang 5 qian of Sulfur (Huang) in a spoon, melt it over low heat, add the powdered medicines, and stir evenly. Rapid stirring is crucial; otherwise, it will solidify. Pour into a porcelain basin, quickly forming a sheet, let it cool, and store for use. When needed, take a piece the size of a sweet melon seed, pointed at the top and flat at the bottom. First, rub the affected area with jujube pulp, stick the medicinal piece onto it, and ignite it with an incense stick, which will produce flames. Apply five, seven, or nine zhuang depending on the condition. After moxibustion, immediately drink half a cup of rice vinegar. Wait for small blisters to form, pierce them with a thread needle to drain a little yellow fluid, cover with a plaster, and the toxicity will dissipate (Note: This formula originally omitted Bingpian (Borneol) and Shexiang (Musk), as noted in the manuscript margin).
It treats wet-phlegm flowing accumulation. For deep-seated yong-sores (bone abscesses), cold-dampness sores and toxins that persist without resolving, and internal ulcers that do not hurt, it can cause unformed lesions to resolve, formed lesions to suppurate, and suppurating lesions to heal. For wind-bi, press with a bamboo chopstick; mark areas of soreness and pain with ink, then apply moxibustion on the marked spots. For leg and knee pain, apply moxibustion to Guiyan Acupoint. For various sores in their initial stage, three to five zhuang of moxibustion will lead to recovery.
