无为南汰寺僧宋澄师傅西川文法禁火焰丹,用松明五条,细如箸,以火点着一
头,右手执之,大指掐定第二指中节纹,左手亦如此掐定,面北立,静想北方壬癸
水,渺漫无际,一口吸尽,吹在火上,再想再吹,如是三次,将火向自己口中试,
如不烧人,即以松明火于小儿丹上周回 一遭,兼于丹上十字 过即已,如试得烧
人疼,更想吸水,正旦及端午日受持。
〔薛〕诸疮惟疔毒为甚,杀人亦速,古云∶疔有十二种,种各不同,内三十六疔,
满其数即不可救,亦有不满其数而死者,乃毒瓦斯走散故也,若痘毒染人,发于头面
或遍身者,又非此类。在小儿多因乳母食有毒之物,或儿卒中饮食之毒,或感四时
不正之气,皆能致之,其疮多生头面四肢,形色不一,或如小疮,或如水泡,或痛
或痒,或麻木不仁,外证寒热、呕吐、恶心、肢体拘急,大要当分邪之在表在里,
急用隔蒜炙法并解毒之剂,若不省人事,牙关紧闭,急以夺命丹为末,热酒调灌,
如食生冷之物,或用凉水淋洗,则轻者难愈,重者不治。其生于两足者多有红丝至
脐,生于两手者多有红丝至心,生于唇口之内者多有红丝入喉,急用针挑出恶血,
以泄其毒,可保无虞。其在偏僻之处,药难导达者,惟灸法有回生之功,若投峻厉
之剂,是保其危矣。小儿肌肉柔脆,且不能言痛否,灸法须将蒜切薄片,着肉一面
略剜少空,灼艾燃蒜,先置大人臂上,试其冷热得宜,然后移着疮上,又别灼艾,
如前法试之,以待相易,勿令间歇。
飞龙夺命丹 治疮毒、发背、脑疽等证。
真蟾酥(干者,酒化) 轻粉 枯白矾 寒水石 铜绿 乳香 没药 麝香 朱砂(各六钱)
蜗牛(四十个,另研,如无、亦可)

葱汤下。重者,外用隔蒜灸法。
无为南汰寺的僧人宋澄师傅传授给西川文法一种治疗“火焰丹”(一种急性皮肤感染,形如火焰)的禁咒疗法。具体操作是:取五条松明(松脂制成的火把),粗细如筷子,点燃其中一头;右手握住火把,用大拇指掐住中指的第二指节纹路,左手也做同样的动作;面向北方站立,静心想象北方的壬癸水(五行中代表水的方位和天干),浩瀚无边,一口将其吸尽,然后吹向火苗;再次想象并再次吹气,如此重复三次;最后将火靠近自己口中试探,如果火不灼伤人,就用这松明火在小儿患处的周围绕一圈,并在患处画一个十字即可结束;如果试探时发现火灼伤人且疼痛,则需重新想象吸水,此法需在正月初一及端午节持诵施行。
〔薛己按〕各种疮疡中,疔毒最为严重,致死速度也最快。古语说:“疔有十二种”,种类各不相同。体内若出现三十六处疔疮,达到这个数量就无法救治了;也有未达到这个数量却死亡的,这是因为毒瓦斯扩散走散所致。如果是痘毒传染给人,发于头面或遍身的情况,又不属于这一类。小儿患此病多因乳母食用有毒食物,或婴儿突然中毒物,或感受四时不正之气,都能导致此病。疮疡多生于头面和四肢,形色不一,有的像小疮,有的像水泡,或痛或痒,或麻木无知觉。外在症状表现为寒热、呕吐、恶心、肢体拘急。大抵应当分辨邪气是在表还是在里,紧急使用隔蒜灸法并配合解毒药剂。如果出现神志不清、牙关紧闭的症状,紧急将夺命丹研成粉末,用热酒调匀灌服。如果患儿食用生冷食物,或用凉水淋洗,那么轻症难以痊愈,重症则无法救治。生于两足的疔疮多有红丝延伸至肚脐,生于双手的多有红丝延伸至心脏区域,生于唇口之内的多有红丝延伸至咽喉。紧急时用针挑出恶血以泄毒,可保无虞。对于生在偏僻部位、药物难以到达的地方,只有灸法有起死回生的功效,若投用猛烈峻厉的药物,则是让患者处于危险境地。小儿肌肉柔嫩脆弱,且不能表达是否疼痛,施灸时必须将大蒜切成薄片,贴着肉的一面略挖空少许,放置艾绒燃烧在大蒜上,先放在大人手臂上试冷热适宜,然后移到疮上,另外再烧艾绒,像前面那样测试,以便交替更换,不要让它中断。

药材:真蟾酥(干燥者,用酒化开)、轻粉、枯白矾、寒水石、铜绿、乳香、没药、麝香、朱砂(各六钱)、蜗牛(四十个,单独研磨,如果没有也可不用)。

The monk Song Cheng from Nantai Temple in Wuwei transmitted to Wen Fa from Xichuan a "forbidden method" (incantation therapy) for treating *Huoyan Dan* (Flame Erysipelas, an acute skin infection resembling fire). The procedure involves using five pine torches (made of pine resin), each as thick as a chopstick. Ignite one end of a torch. Hold it in the right hand, pinching the middle crease of the second phalanx of the middle finger with the thumb; perform the same action with the left hand. Stand facing north, calmly visualizing the water of Ren and Gui (the heavenly stems associated with the North and the Water element in Five-Phase theory), vast and boundless. Inhale it deeply with one breath, then blow onto the flame. Visualize again and blow again, repeating this three times. Test the flame by bringing it near your own mouth; if it does not burn, use the pine torch to circle around the infant's lesion once and draw a cross over the lesion to complete the treatment. If the flame burns and causes pain during testing, one must re-visualize inhaling water. This practice should be performed on the first day of the New Year and on the Dragon Boat Festival.
[Xue Ji notes:] Among all sores and ulcers, *Ding* toxin (carbuncle/furuncle with deep-rooted toxicity) is the most severe and fatal speedily. Ancient texts state: "There are twelve types of Ding," each differing in nature. If thirty-six Ding lesions appear internally, reaching this number renders the condition incurable; however, death may also occur before reaching this count due to the dispersion of toxic vapors. Cases where pox toxins infect individuals, manifesting on the head, face, or entire body, do not belong to this category. In infants, this disease often arises from the wet nurse consuming toxic substances, sudden ingestion of dietary toxins by the child, or exposure to abnormal Qi of the four seasons. The sores typically appear on the head, face, and limbs, varying in shape and color: some resemble small pustules, others blisters; symptoms include pain, itching, or numbness/anesthesia. External signs present with chills and fever, vomiting, nausea, and limb stiffness/spasms. Generally, one must differentiate whether the pathogenic factor is in the Exterior or Interior. Urgently apply Garlic-Separated Moxibustion (Ge Suan Jiu) combined with detoxifying formulas. If the patient loses consciousness or exhibits trismus (lockjaw), urgently administer powdered *Duoming Dan* (Life-Restoring Pill) mixed with warm wine and force-fed. If the patient has consumed raw/cold foods or been washed with cold water, mild cases will be difficult to cure, and severe cases will be untreatable. *Ding* sores on both feet often show red streaks extending to the umbilicus; those on both hands show red streaks extending toward the heart region; those inside the lips/mouth show red streaks extending into the throat. Urgently puncture with a needle to drain evil blood and vent the toxin, ensuring safety. For lesions in remote areas where medicinal delivery is difficult, only moxibustion possesses the power to restore life; administering harsh, acrid medicines would endanger the patient. Infants have tender and fragile muscles and cannot articulate pain. When applying moxibustion, slice garlic thinly, slightly hollow out the side touching the skin, place mugwort on the garlic, and test the heat/coolness on an adult's arm until comfortable. Then move it to the sore. Prepare another mugwort cone, test it similarly, and alternate them without interruption.
Feilong Duoming Dan: Treats carbuncles, back abscesses (*Fabei*), brain carbuncles (*Naoju*), etc.
Ingredients: True Toad Venom (*Chansu*, dried, dissolved in wine), Calomel (*Qingfen*), Calcined White Alum (*Ku Baifan*), Arsenolite (*Hanshuishi*), Verdigris (*Tonglv*), Frankincense (*Ruxiang*), Myrrh (*Moyao*), Musk (*Shexiang*), Cinnabar (*Zhusha*) (each 6 qian), Snails (40, ground separately; optional if unavailable).
Preparation: Grind all ingredients into fine powder. Mix with Toad Venom and snail paste, adding a little wine if necessary, to form pills the size of mung beans. Take 1–2 pills per dose, swallowed with warm wine or scallion decoction. For severe cases, apply Garlic-Separated Moxibustion externally.
