瘭疽者，肉中忽生点子如豆粒，小者如黍粟，极者如梅李。或赤、或黑、或青、或
白，其状不定。有根不浮肿痛，伤之应心，根深至肌，经久便四面悉肿， 黯熟紫黑色，能
烂坏筋骨，若毒散逐脉入脏杀人，南人名为拓着毒。浓肉处即割去之，亦烧铁烙之令焦
如炭。或灸百壮，或饮葵根汁，或饮蓝青汁，若犀角汁及升麻汁、竹沥黄龙汤诸单方治，专
去其热，取瘥。其病喜着十指，故与代指相似，人不识之呼作代指，不急治之，亦逐脉
上入脏杀人。南方人得之皆斩去其指，初指头先作黯 ，后始肿亦黑黯， 痛入心是也。

瘭疽，是指肌肉中突然长出像豆粒大小的点状物，小的如黍米、粟米，严重的如梅子、李子。颜色有的发红、有的发黑、有的发青、有的发白，形状不固定。有的有根但不浮肿疼痛，触碰时痛感直达心脏，病根深达肌肉，时间久了便向四周全部肿胀，变成暗熟紫黑色，能腐烂破坏筋骨；如果毒气顺着经脉传入内脏，会致人死亡，南方人称之为“拓着毒”。在肉厚的地方就割除它，或者用烧红的铁器烙烫使其焦黑如炭。或者艾灸一百壮，或者饮用葵根汁，或者饮用蓝靛汁，以及犀角汁、升麻汁、竹沥黄龙汤等单方治疗，专门去除热毒，以求痊愈。这种病喜欢长在十个手指上，所以与代指相似，人们不认识它而叫作代指，如果不及时治疗，也会顺着经脉向上进入内脏致人死亡。南方人得了这个病都斩断手指，起初指头先变暗红，后来才肿胀也变暗黑，痛入心脏就是这种情况。

Boju (Fengju) refers to dot-like lesions suddenly appearing in the muscle tissue, resembling bean grains. Smaller ones are like millet or broomcorn millet seeds, while severe cases resemble plums or plums and apricots. The color may be red, black, green, or white, with indeterminate shapes. Some have roots but no edema or pain; upon injury, the pain feels as if it pierces the heart. The root is deep, reaching the muscle. After a long time, swelling spreads all around, turning dark purple-black, capable of rotting and destroying bone and tendons. If the toxin disperses and enters the viscera via the meridians, it can be fatal. In southern regions, this is called "Tuozhe Du" (Spreading Toxin). In fleshy areas, the lesion should be excised, or cauterized with a hot iron until charred like charcoal. Alternatively, moxibustion of one hundred cones may be applied, or drinking juice from Abutilon indicum roots, Isatis tinctoria leaves, Rhinoceros horn juice, Cimicifuga rhizome juice, or Zhu Li Huang Long Tang (Bamboo Juice Yellow Dragon Decoction), single prescriptions aimed at clearing heat to achieve recovery. This disease favors the ten fingers, thus resembling Daizhi (Paronychia); people who do not recognize it call it Daizhi. If not treated promptly, the toxin also travels up the meridians into the viscera, causing death. People in the south often amputate the finger upon contracting this. Initially, the fingertip turns dark red, followed by swelling and darkening, with pain piercing the heart.
Secret Recipe for Treating Boju:
Shé Gān (Belamcanda Rhizome), Gan Cao (Licorice Root), Zhi Shi (Immature Bitter Orange), Sheng Ma (Cimicifuga Rhizome), Gan Di Huang (Prepared Rehmannia Root), Huang Qin (Scutellaria Root) (each 2 liang), She Xiang (Musk) (2 fen), Qian Hu (Peucedani Radix) (3 fen), Xi Jiao (Rhinoceros Horn) (6 fen), Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) (10 fen).
The above ten ingredients are cut into small pieces. Decoct in 9 sheng of water to obtain 3 sheng. Add Da Huang and boil briefly once. Strain and add She Xiang. Divide into three doses. Stop when recovered. No limit on dosage. This formula is rarely transmitted in the world but is miraculous and effective. (Wai Tai Mi Yao lacks Huang Qin. Shen Shi Formula adds Huang Qin, Ma Huang, Bai Wei, Zhi Shi, Sheng Ma, Song Ye.)
She Gan San (Belamcanda Powder): Treats Boju, where dot-like lesions suddenly appear in the skin and flesh, size of hemp or bean seeds, or like peaches and plums, with unbearable swelling and pain.
She Gan (Belamcanda Rhizome), Chuan Sheng Ma (Cimicifuga Rhizome), Zhi Shi (Immature Bitter Orange, bran-fried), Chuan Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, crushed, slightly fried), Gan Cao (Licorice Root, raw, each 1 liang), She Xiang (Musk, finely ground, 2 qian 5 fen), Qian Hu (Peucedani Radix, de-rhizome, 1 liang 5 qian), Ling Yang Jiao Xie (Antelope Horn Shavings) (7 qian 5 fen).
Crush the herbs, mix evenly with She Xiang. Take 4 qian per dose. Decoct in one zhong of water until reduced to six parts. Strain. Warm and take at any time.
Dan Sha Gao (Cinnabar Ointment): Treats Boju.
Dan Sha (Cinnabar, finely ground), She Gan (Belamcanda Rhizome), Da Huang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma, crushed, fried), Xi Jiao Xie (Rhinoceros Horn Shavings), Qian Hu (Peucedani Radix, de-rhizome), Sheng Ma (Cimicifuga Rhizome), Xiong (Ligusticum Chuanxiong Rhizome), Huang Qin (Scutellaria Root, remove black heart), Chen Xiang (Aquilaria Lignum), Mu Xiang (Aucklandiae Radix) (each 1 liang), Sheng Di Huang (Rehmannia Root, 2 liang), She Xiang (Musk, 1 qian 2 fen 5 li, ground), Zhu Zhi (Pork Fat, 2 jin 5 liang).
Except for Dan Sha, She Xiang, and Zhu Zhi, crush the other ingredients. Mix with half sheng of vinegar and soak overnight. First boil the Zhu Zhi until bubbling, then add the herbs and decoct until Sheng Di Huang turns reddish-black. Strain through silk cloth. Add Dan Sha and She Xiang powders, stir evenly with a willow stick, and store in a porcelain box. Apply to the affected area three to five times daily. Alternatively, take a date-sized amount, mixed with warm wine, taken on an empty stomach and at noon. Another method: mix with warm water and take half a spoonful.
