论胞上升 论头痛 论肠下 论疮毒初起
天师曰∶吸治者，不可用汤药，而用吸治也。如人生产，子落地而胞不堕，或头痛而久不愈，或
肠下而久不收，或疮毒初起，而未知阴阳之症，皆可用药以吸之也。产妇子落地矣，而胞忽上升者，必有
恶血奔心之症，势甚危急。倘以下药下之，则虚其元气，恐致暴亡，不若用蓖麻子一钱捣烂，涂于本妇
之足心，则少顷胞胎自下矣。更有胞落子生而大肠堕下者，更为可畏。此虚极下陷，法当用人参加升麻、
柴胡提之。而产妇初生，未便用升麻、柴胡以发散其正气，恐气散而肠愈难收，不若仍用蓖麻子一味，
捣烂，涂于本妇之顶心，少顷肠自收入。急用温汤，将顶上蓖麻洗净，不使少留些须。倘若时辰太久，则
肠且上悬，又成危症而不可救矣。胞胎一落，亦是同然，俱宜洗净为祷。至于头痛之症，止消用蓖麻子一
粒，捣碎，同枣肉些须，同捣匀，丸如黄豆大，外用丝绵裹之，纳于鼻孔。少顷，必有清涕流出，即将丸药
取出，不可久放其中，头痛即愈，永不再发。倘久留在中，
必致脑髓流出，又成不可药救之症。切记切记。
疮毒初起，有一种解毒之石，即吸住不下。但毒轻者，一吸即下；重者，必吸数日而始下。不可急
性，而人自取下也。此石最妙，一石可用三年，然止可用以治小疮口可耳。大毒痈疽，仍须前汤药治之为
妙。此吸治之宜知也。
张公曰∶吸法尽于此，无可再谈。
陈士铎说：吸治法，不能使用汤药，而应采用吸治的方法。例如妇女分娩后，胎儿已落地但胎盘不下；或者头痛经久不愈；或者大肠脱垂久久不能收回；或者疮毒刚刚发作，尚不清楚是阴证还是阳证，这些情况都可以用药通过鼻腔吸入来治疗。产妇胎儿已经生下，但胎盘突然向上逆行上升的，必定伴有恶血冲心的症状，形势非常危急。如果用泻下药强行攻下，会耗损元气，恐怕会导致突然死亡，不如用一钱蓖麻子捣烂，涂抹在产妇的足心，不久胎盘自然就会下降。更有甚者，胎盘已脱落、胎儿已出生，但大肠却脱垂出来，这就更加可怕了。这是极度虚弱导致的中气下陷，治疗方法应当用人参配合升麻、柴胡来提升中气。但是产妇刚生产完，不便使用升麻、柴胡等发散药物来扰动正气，恐怕会导致气机涣散，使肠管更难收回，不如仍然只用蓖麻子一味药，捣烂后涂抹在产妇的头顶百会穴处，不久肠管自然就会缩回体内。此时急忙用温水将头顶上的蓖麻子洗净，不让它残留丝毫。如果时间拖得太久，肠管可能会向上悬吊，又变成无法挽救的危症。胎盘脱落的情况也是如此，都应当清洗干净为妙。至于头痛的症状，只需取一粒蓖麻子，捣碎，加入少许枣肉，一起捣匀，制成如黄豆大小的丸药，外面用丝绵包裹，塞入鼻孔。不久，必然会有清涕流出，这时就要将药丸取出，不可长时间留在鼻中，否则头痛即可痊愈，且永不复发。如果长时间留在鼻中，必然导致脑髓流出，又成为无法医治的病症。切记切记。
疮毒初起时，有一种解毒的石药，即“吸石”，能吸附毒物使其排出。毒邪轻的，吸一次就能排出；毒邪重的，必须吸几天才能排出。不可急躁，人自然会取下它。这种石头最妙，一块可以用三年，但它只适用于治疗小疮口。对于大毒痈疽，仍然需要用前面的汤药治疗才为妥当。这就是关于吸治法需要知道的内容。
张公说：吸法就到这里，没有什么可以再谈的了。
Chen Shiduo said: The method of nasal suction therapy should not use decoctions, but rather employ the technique of nasal suction. For instance, when a woman gives birth and the fetus is delivered but the placenta does not descend; or when headache persists for a long time without healing; or when the rectum prolapses and fails to retract for a long time; or when sores and toxins first appear, and it is unknown whether the syndrome is Yin or Yang, all these conditions can be treated by administering medicine via nasal inhalation. After the fetus has been born, if the placenta suddenly ascends upwards, there must be symptoms of evil blood rushing to the heart, which is an extremely critical situation. If one uses purgative medicines to force it down, it will deplete the primordial Qi, possibly leading to sudden death. It is better to take one qian (approx. 3-5g) of Ricini Semen (Bibangzi, 蓖麻子), crush it into a paste, and apply it to the sole of the mother's foot; shortly thereafter, the placenta will naturally descend. In more severe cases where the placenta has fallen and the child is born, yet the large intestine prolapses, this is even more terrifying. This is due to extreme deficiency causing sinking of Qi. The treatment principle should involve using Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) combined with Sheng Ma (Cimicifugae Rhizoma) and Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix) to lift the Qi. However, immediately after childbirth, it is inappropriate to use Sheng Ma and Chai Hu as they are dispersing herbs that might scatter the Zheng Qi (Upright Qi), fearing that the Qi will disperse further making it harder for the intestine to retract. Instead, one should still use only Ricini Semen (Bibangzi, 蓖麻子), crush it into a paste, and apply it to the top of the mother's head (Baihui point); shortly thereafter, the intestine will naturally retract into the body. Urgently wash off the Ricini Semen (Bibangzi, 蓖麻子) from the top of the head with warm water, ensuring no residue remains. If too much time passes, the intestine may hang upwards, becoming another critical and incurable condition. The same applies to the descent of the placenta; cleanliness is essential in both cases. As for headaches, simply take one grain of Ricini Semen (Bibangzi, 蓖麻子), crush it, mix it with a small amount of Zao Rou (Jujube Flesh, 枣肉), pound them together evenly, and form pills the size of a soybean. Wrap the pill externally with silk floss and insert it into the nostril. Shortly, clear mucus will flow out; at this point, remove the pill. Do not leave it inside for long, otherwise the headache will heal and never recur. If left inside for too long, it will inevitably cause the brain marrow to leak out, resulting in an incurable condition. Remember this well, remember this well.
When sores and toxins first appear, there is a detoxifying stone, known as "Suction Stone," which adheres to the sore and extracts the toxin. If the toxin is light, one suction is sufficient to extract it; if heavy, several days of suction are required before it comes out. One must not be impatient, as the patient will naturally remove it. This stone is excellent; one piece can be used for three years, but it is only suitable for treating small sores. For major toxic carbuncles and ulcers, it is still best to treat them with the aforementioned decoctions. These are the points to know regarding nasal suction therapy.
Master Zhang said: The methods of nasal suction end here; there is nothing more to discuss.
