凡气血弱者，则自无所乘载其毒，而痘难形，此气血之本咎也。奈何不悟其理，
强以虫鱼腥膻，牛虱人牙等毒投之，发动中气。嗟乎！以毒攻毒，理难并胜，兼痘
又因时气感触，故固藉此而出矣。殊不知毒药损人元气，元气既阀，则毒瓦斯愈炽，气
无逐毒之能，血失运毒之力，一任毒药攻击，逼出腠理之间，一倍化为数倍，一疮
变作十疮，不成颗粒，如疥如疹，少顷中气归复，气血不外旺，药气如少歇，则酷
烈之毒其势转烈，反为内攻矣。况初起而欲表，暴则鸡冠血、鸡头、鸡脑、羊头、羊
脑可用也；贯脓而欲补托，则嫩羊肉汁，油炒公鸡可食也。常食物中自有最宜之味，既
有切于病情，复有补于血气，何必仗诸恶劣之物哉。
凡脏腑之情，遇香则荣卫通行，遇臭则荣卫凝塞。痘疮全赖荣卫和畅而成功，凝
则热毒无由以舒泄矣。然污秽恶臭，固宜远避，而兰麝诸香，皆能走泄元气，岂其
宜哉。所不禁者，如枣子烧烟之法，一可辟其不正之气，更可助其荣卫之情，且能
开胃进食，如被房事、经水、生产之秽所犯者，俱以大枣烧烟解之；若防发痒者，则
以桦皮和大枣烧烟解之；若被酒厌者，则以葛根、茵陈烧烟解之；被五辛厌者，则
以生姜烧烟解之；被死尸之气及疠气所犯者，则以大黄、苍术烧烟解之；为狐臭、犬、
羊厌者，则烧枫球解之；若遇风雨时者，则烧苍术、枫球避之；若血少而浆难之痘，则
忌烧苍术，盖恐愈燥而浆愈难耳；若遇诸恶气，则通以乳香烧烟熏之，以胡荽酒喷
之。然俗有煮醋熏痘者，以醋能活血，殊不知酸能收敛，大非所宜也。总之，痘疮
一出，则脏腑空虚，饮食宜节，勿饥勿饱，衣服宜调，勿冷勿热，一有不得，灾祸立
见，故诸禁忌，悉宜遵戒。
痘初起，宜食笋尖、羊头、鸡脑、鸡冠血，饭内煮肉、桑虫、酒酿。至酿脓时，
宜食鹅尾肉、雄鸡头、煮烂莲肉、枣子、年深腌肉、圆眼、油炒鸡蛋、白粘米粥、肉
圆、嫩羊肉汁，顶大桑虫。及至收靥，惟宜清凉，忌食毒物。
痘始终忌食落苏、葱、蒜、韭、薤、栗子、螃蟹、鲜鱼、蜜饯、椒辣、时果、圆
蛤、鲜猪肉，一切心肾血髓，肝肠酒糟对象，荔枝、橘子、小米、麦面，火酒、生冷，发热发气，性寒等物。
痘时睡中切不可惊动，否则易成痘前惊、痘后惊，在灌浆时则易于停浆。
痘时如值严冬，房中多置炭火，有回天之能，盛暑多列水冰，得清心之喜，务
须四时和暖，如春令气血和畅为妙。
一忌对梳头。一忌六淫不正之气。一忌生人往来。一忌僧道尼、师巫入房。一

羊。一忌对谎言。一忌饮冷餐冰。一忌饮食歌乐。一忌詈骂呼怒。一忌怀孕妇人。一

忌吹灭烛气。一忌误烧头发气。一忌柴、烟、鱼、骨、诸毛气。一忌葱、蒜、韭、薤气。
一忌死人尸厌气。一忌诸腥臊气。一忌醉酒荤腥气。一点灯宜用真菜油，切不可用
棉油杂油。一宜远避油车，盖闻香即变。
如悉照前戒，重视谨慎则重证可以变轻。如不避禁忌，轻视忽略，则轻证可以变重，慎之慎之。
凡是气血虚弱的人，自身就无法承载和运化毒邪，导致痘疹难以透发，这是气血亏虚的根本过错。为何不明了这个道理，反而强行给患者食用虫鱼、腥膻之物，以及牛虱、人牙等有毒之物来投喂，从而激发中焦之气。唉！以毒攻毒的道理很难两全其美，加上痘疮又因时行疫气感触而发，所以确实借此机会透发出来。却不知道毒药会损伤人的元气，元气既然虚弱，那么毒邪就会更加炽盛，气没有驱逐毒邪的能力，血失去运化毒邪的力量，只能任由毒药攻击，逼迫毒邪外出于腠理之间，原本一倍的毒邪化为数倍，一个疮变成十个疮，不能形成颗粒状，像疥疮或麻疹一样。不久之后中气恢复，气血不再旺盛，药气稍微停歇，那酷烈之毒的势头反而更猛烈，转而向内攻伐脏腑了。况且痘疮初起想要透表时，暴烈之症可用鸡冠血、鸡头、鸡脑、羊头、羊脑等；到了贯脓阶段想要补托时，则可食用嫩羊肉汁、油炒公鸡。日常食物中自有最适宜的味道，既切合病情，又能补益血气，何必依赖那些恶劣之物呢。
大凡脏腑的情志与功能，遇到香气则营卫之气通行顺畅，遇到臭气则营卫之气凝滞阻塞。痘疮完全依赖营卫调和畅达才能成功痊愈，如果凝滞，热毒就没有途径舒散排泄了。然而污秽恶臭，固然应当远离，但兰麝等各种香料，都能耗散元气，哪里适宜使用呢。所不禁用的，比如烧枣子烟的方法，既可以辟除不正之气，又可以助长营卫之气，还能开胃进食。如果是被房事、经水、生产等的秽气所侵犯，都用大枣烧烟来化解；如果是预防发作瘙痒，就用桦树皮和大枣烧烟来化解；如果是被酒气厌恶所困，就用葛根、茵陈烧烟来化解；被五辛（葱、蒜、韭、薤、胡荽）气味厌恶所困，就用生姜烧烟来化解；被死尸之气及疠气所侵犯，就用大黄、苍术烧烟来化解；被狐臭、狗、羊的气味厌恶所困，就烧枫球来化解；如果遇到风雨天气，就烧苍术、枫球来避忌；如果是血少而浆液难成的痘疮，就忌烧苍术，大概担心过于燥烈而使浆液更难生成罢了；如果遇到各种恶气，都通用乳香烧烟熏蒸，用胡荽酒喷洒。然而世俗有用煮醋熏痘的做法，认为醋能活血，却不知道酸味具有收敛作用，非常不适宜。总之，痘疮一出，脏腑空虚，饮食应当节制，不要过饥也不要过饱，衣服应当调节，不要过冷也不要过热，一旦有所不当，灾祸立刻显现，所以所有的禁忌，都应当遵守戒律。
痘疮初起时，适宜吃笋尖、羊头、鸡脑、鸡冠血，饭内煮肉、桑虫、酒酿。到了酿脓阶段，适宜吃鹅尾肉、雄鸡头、煮烂的莲肉、枣子、陈年腌肉、桂圆、油炒鸡蛋、白粘米粥、肉圆、嫩羊肉汁、顶大的桑虫。等到收靥结痂阶段，只宜清凉饮食，忌食毒物。
痘疮全程忌食茄子、葱、蒜、韭菜、藠头、栗子、螃蟹、鲜鱼、蜜饯、辣椒花椒、时令水果、圆蛤、鲜猪肉，一切心肾血髓，肝肠酒糟象贝，荔枝、橘子、小米、麦面，火酒、生冷食物，发热发气之物，性寒之物。
患痘期间睡觉中切不可惊动，否则容易形成痘前惊风、痘后惊风，在灌浆阶段则容易导致浆液停滞。
患痘期间如果遇到严冬，房中多放置炭火，有回天之力；遇到盛暑多摆放水冰，得清心之喜，务必使四季保持和暖，像春季那样气血和畅为妙。
一忌对着梳头。二忌六淫不正之气。三忌生人往来。四忌僧道尼、师巫进入房间。五忌对着抓痒。六忌过冷过热。七忌对着扫地。八忌过饥过饱。九忌惊吓触动。十忌鸡、犬、牛、羊。十一忌对着说谎。十二忌饮冷餐冰。十三忌饮食歌乐。十四忌詈骂呼怒。十五忌怀孕妇人。十六忌对着哭泣。十七忌煎炒油盐鱼腥气。十八忌房中淫液气。十九忌妇人经候气。二十忌麝香臊秽气。二十一忌腋下狐臭气。二十二忌沟粪恶浊气。二十三忌熏抹疮药气。二十四忌牛羊蜡烛气。二十五忌硫黄蚊烟气。二十六忌五辛气。二十七忌诸疮腥臭气。二十八忌吃烟煤烬气。二十九忌远行劳汗气。三十忌吹灭烛气。三十一忌误烧头发气。三十二忌柴、烟、鱼、骨、诸毛气。三十三忌葱、蒜、韭、薤气。三十四忌死人尸厌气。三十五忌诸腥臊气。三十六忌醉酒荤腥气。一点灯宜用真菜油，切不可用棉油杂油。一宜远避油车，因为闻到香味就会变证。
如果能够全部按照前面的禁忌，重视谨慎，那么重症可以变为轻症。如果不避禁忌，轻视忽略，那么轻症可以变为重症，务必谨慎再谨慎。
For those with weak Qi and Blood, they lack the capacity to carry and transform toxins, making it difficult for smallpox lesions to manifest; this is fundamentally a fault of deficient Qi and Blood. Why do people fail to understand this principle and instead forcibly feed them toxic substances such as insects, fish, pungent meats, beef lice, and human teeth to stimulate the Middle Jiao Qi? Alas! The principle of "using toxicity to combat toxicity" rarely achieves mutual victory. Moreover, since smallpox arises from contact with seasonal epidemic pathogens, it indeed emerges through these means. However, one fails to realize that toxic drugs damage the body's Yuan Qi (Primary Qi). Once Yuan Qi is depleted, the toxin becomes even more rampant. With Qi lacking the ability to expel toxins and Blood losing its power to transport them, the toxins are left at the mercy of the drugs, forced out into the interstices of the skin (Cou Li). One part of the toxin multiplies into several parts, one sore turns into ten, failing to form distinct pustules, resembling scabies or measles. Shortly thereafter, when Middle Jiao Qi recovers but Qi and Blood are not yet robust, and the drug's effect temporarily wanes, the fierce toxin intensifies its momentum and attacks inwardly. Furthermore, during the initial stage when the goal is to release the exterior, violent cases may use rooster comb blood, rooster head, rooster brain, sheep head, and sheep brain; during the suppuration stage when the goal is tonification and support, tender lamb juice and oil-fried rooster meat may be consumed. Ordinary foods naturally contain the most suitable flavors that both address the condition and nourish Qi and Blood; why rely on such foul substances?
The functions of the Zang-Fu organs thrive on fragrance, which allows Ying (Nutritive) and Wei (Defensive) Qi to flow freely, whereas foul odors cause stagnation and blockage of Ying and Wei Qi. Smallpox relies entirely on the harmonious and smooth flow of Ying and Wei Qi for successful resolution. If stagnant, heat toxins have no way to dissipate and excrete. Therefore, filth and foul odors should certainly be avoided. However, fragrances like orchid and musk can scatter and deplete Yuan Qi, making them unsuitable. Exceptions include burning jujube smoke, which can repel aberrant Qi, assist Ying and Wei Qi, and stimulate appetite. If infected by filth from sexual activity, menstruation, or childbirth, burning jujube smoke resolves it; to prevent itching, burning birch bark with jujube resolves it; if repelled by wine fumes, burning Kudzu root (Ge Gen) and Yin Chen resolves it; if repelled by the Five Pungents (Wu Xin), burning ginger resolves it; if attacked by corpse odor or plague Qi, burning Rhubarb (Da Huang) and Atractylodes macrocephala (Cang Zhu) resolves it; if repelled by fox odor, dog, or sheep smells, burning maple balls resolves it; in rainy or windy weather, burning Cang Zhu and maple balls provides protection; for smallpox with insufficient Blood leading to difficult pus formation, burning Cang Zhu is contraindicated to avoid excessive dryness hindering pus formation; for various evil airs, generally burning Frankincense (Ru Xiang) for fumigation and spraying Coriander (Hu Sui) wine is used. However, the common practice of fumigating with vinegar is misguided; while vinegar moves Blood, its sour nature is astringent, which is highly inappropriate. In summary, once smallpox erupts, the Zang-Fu organs are empty. Diet should be regulated: neither too hungry nor too full. Clothing should be adjusted: neither too cold nor too hot. Any deviation leads to immediate disaster. Thus, all taboos must be strictly observed.
At the onset of smallpox, it is advisable to eat bamboo shoot tips, sheep head, rooster brain, rooster comb blood, meat cooked in rice, silkworm pupae, and fermented rice wine. During the suppuration stage, goose tail meat, rooster heads, boiled lotus seeds, jujubes, aged cured meat, longan, oil-fried eggs, glutinous rice porridge, meatballs, and tender lamb juice are suitable. At the crusting stage, only cool foods are appropriate, and toxic substances must be avoided.
Throughout the course of smallpox, avoid eggplant, green onion, garlic, leek, Welsh onion, chestnuts, crab, fresh fish, candied fruits, chili peppers, seasonal fruits, clams, fresh pork, heart/kidney blood/marrow, liver/intestines, wine lees, scallops, lychee, tangerine, millet, wheat flour, strong liquor, raw/cold foods, heating/venting foods, and cold-natured foods.
During sleep in the smallpox period, one must not be startled, otherwise pre-suppurative or post-suppurative convulsions may occur, and during the filling stage, pus stagnation may result.
In severe winter, place plenty of charcoal fires in the room to restore vitality; in midsummer, arrange ice water to soothe the Heart. Ensure warmth consistent with the seasons, ideally maintaining the harmonious flow of Qi and Blood as seen in spring.
Taboos include: avoiding brushing hair facing outward; avoiding pathogenic influences of the Six Excesses (Liu Yin); avoiding visits from strangers; avoiding monks, nuns, shamans, or sorcerers entering the room; avoiding scratching towards oneself; avoiding extreme temperatures; avoiding sweeping while facing outward; avoiding extremes of hunger and fullness; avoiding sudden shocks; avoiding chickens, dogs, cattle, and sheep; avoiding lying; avoiding drinking cold liquids or eating ice; avoiding singing and music during meals; avoiding cursing and anger; avoiding pregnant women; avoiding crying towards oneself; avoiding fumes from frying, oil, salt, and fish; avoiding vaginal discharge odors; avoiding menstrual odors; avoiding musk and foul odors; avoiding axillary fox odor; avoiding sewage stench; avoiding fumes from applying wound medicines; avoiding odors from cattle/sheep candles; avoiding sulfur and mosquito coil smoke; avoiding the Five Pungents; avoiding foul odors from sores; avoiding coal dust smoke; avoiding sweat from long travel; avoiding extinguishing candle breath; avoiding burnt hair smoke; avoiding wood, smoke, fish, bone, and hair odors; avoiding green onion, garlic, leek, and Welsh onion odors; avoiding corpse odors; avoiding general fishy/foul odors; avoiding alcohol and meat fumes; using only pure vegetable oil for lamps, never cottonseed or mixed oils; staying away from oil presses, as smelling fragrance causes transformation of the disease.
If all these precautions are followed with care, severe cases may become mild. If taboos are ignored and negligence prevails, mild cases may become severe. Exercise utmost caution.
