神效当归膏 治痈疽疮毒，及汤火、杖疮溃烂，最能止痛，推陈致新。
当归（二两） 麻油（四两） 白蜡（五钱，如用黄蜡一两，尤效）
先用当归入油煎至焦黑色，去渣，入蜡溶化即成膏矣。此方用蜡为君，前人每云蜡
为外科之要药，生肌定痛，续筋补虚，其功不可尽述。常见善讼者。杖后随食蜡两许，饮
酒一两碗，一睡之后，血散痛止，轻者即消，重者虽腐溃，亦易愈，可见蜡之功为大，用
者不可忽之。
神异膏 （《精要》） 治诸般恶毒疮疖，发背痈疽，其妙如神。
露蜂房（要用蜂儿多者为妙，细剪净，一两） 全蛇蜕（盐水洗净，焙干） 玄参（去芦，各半两） 绵
黄（七钱半） 黄丹（五两，研细，后入） 杏仁（去皮尖，切小片，一两） 男子乱发（洗净焙干，如鸡子
大） 真麻油（一斤）
上件药，先将麻油入银铫中，同乱发于风炉上慢慢文武火熬，候发焦熔尽，以杏仁
投入，候杏仁色变黑，好绵滤去渣。再将所熬清油入银铫内，然后入黄 、玄参二味，慢
火熬一二时，取出铫子，安一冷风炉上，候半时久，火力稍息。旋入露蜂房、蛇蜕二味，
将柳枝急搅，移铫于火上，不住手搅，慢火熬至黄紫色。用绵滤过后，复入清油在铫内，
乘冷投黄丹急搅片时，又移挑于火上，文武火慢慢熬，不住手用柳枝搅千余转，候药油
变黑色，滴于水中凝结成珠子，则是膏成就矣。若珠子稀，再熬少时，必候得所，然后
用瓷器内，封收待用。或恐偶然熬火太过，稍硬难用，却入少蜡熬，添麻油在内，瓷器盛
封盖，于甑上蒸，乘热搅匀，收而用之。膏药熬成了，须用所盛瓷器置净水盆中，出火
毒一昼夜，歇三日，方可用。熬此膏药极难，于火候须耐烦看火紧慢，火猛即药中火发，千
万谨成，（膏药方甚多，效无出于此。）

神效当归膏：治疗痈疽疮毒，以及烫伤、火烧、杖刑造成的溃烂伤口，最能止痛，促进新陈代谢（推陈致新）。
配方：当归（二两），麻油（四两），白蜡（五钱，如果使用黄蜡一两，效果更佳）。
制作方法是：先将当归放入油中煎至焦黑色，滤去药渣，加入蜡使其溶化即成膏。此方以蜡为君药，前人常说蜡是外科的重要药物，具有生肌定痛、续筋补虚的功效，其作用不可尽述。常见善于诉讼的人，受杖刑后随即食用约一两蜡，喝一两碗酒，睡一觉之后，瘀血消散疼痛停止，轻症即刻痊愈，重症即使已经腐烂溃败，也容易愈合，可见蜡的功效很大，使用者不可忽视。
神异膏（出自《精要》）：治疗各种恶毒疮疖、发背痈疽，效果神奇。
配方：露蜂房（选用蜂儿多的为好，剪净，一两），全蛇蜕（用盐水洗净，焙干），玄参（去芦头，各半两），绵黄芪（七钱半），黄丹（五两，研细，后加入），杏仁（去皮尖，切小片，一两），男子乱发（洗净焙干，如鸡蛋大小），真麻油（一斤）。
制作方法：以上药材，先将麻油放入银锅中，连同乱发在风炉上用文武火慢慢熬制，等到头发焦黑熔化殆尽，投入杏仁，等到杏仁颜色变黑，用好棉布过滤去渣。再将熬好的清油倒入银锅中，然后加入黄芪、玄参两味药，慢火熬煮一两个时辰，取出锅子，放在冷风炉上，等待半小时左右，火力稍减。接着加入露蜂房、蛇蜕两味药，用柳枝快速搅拌，将锅移回火上，不停地搅拌，慢火熬至黄紫色。用棉布过滤后，再次将清油倒入锅中，趁冷投入黄丹急搅片刻，又移到火上，用文武火慢慢熬，不停地用柳枝搅拌一千多转，等到药油变成黑色，滴入水中能凝结成珠子，就是膏成就。如果珠子松散，再熬一会儿，必须达到标准，然后用瓷器盛装密封保存待用。如果担心偶然火候过大，膏体稍硬难用，可加入少量蜡熬化，添入麻油，用瓷器盛装封盖，放在蒸笼上蒸，趁热搅拌均匀，收存使用。膏药熬好后，必须将盛放的瓷器置于清水盆中，去除火毒一昼夜，歇置三天，方可使用。熬制此膏药极难，对火候必须耐心观察火势紧慢，火猛则药中火气发作，千万谨慎。（膏药方剂很多，疗效没有超过这个的。）

Shenxiao Danggui Ointment: Treats carbuncles, sores, and toxic swellings, as well as ulcerated wounds from scalds, burns, and corporal punishment. It is most effective in relieving pain and promoting the elimination of necrotic tissue while generating new tissue (Tui Chen Zhi Xin).
Formula: Radix Angelicae Sinensis (Danggui, 2 liang), Sesame Oil (MAYOU, 4 liang), White Beeswax (Baila, 5 qian; if Yellow Beeswax Huangla, 1 liang is used, it is even more effective).
Preparation: First, fry Radix Angelicae Sinensis in oil until scorched black, remove the dregs, add wax to melt, and the ointment is formed. In this formula, wax serves as the sovereign drug. Predecessors often stated that wax is a crucial medicine for external surgery, possessing the functions of generating flesh, stabilizing pain, reconnecting tendons, and tonifying deficiency, with merits that cannot be fully described. It is common to see litigious individuals who, after receiving corporal punishment, immediately consume about one liang of wax and drink one bowl of wine; after sleeping, the blood stasis dissipates and pain stops. Mild cases resolve immediately, and even severe cases that have become necrotic and ulcerated heal easily. This demonstrates the great efficacy of wax, which users must not ignore.
Shenyi Ointment (from *Jingyao*): Treats various malignant sores, boils, back carbuncles, and abscesses, with miraculous effects.
Formula: Exopeleus Vespa (Lufengfang, select those with many larvae, cut clean, 1 liang), Whole Snake Slough (Quanshetui, washed with salt water, dried by roasting), Radix Scrophulariae (Xuanshen, remove rhizome, each half liang), Herba Astragali Membranacei (Mianhuang, 7.5 qian), Minium (Huangdan, 5 liang, finely ground, added later), Semen Pruni Armeniacae (Xingren, remove skin and tips, cut into small pieces, 1 liang), Human Hair (Nanzi Luafa, washed clean and dried, size of an egg), True Sesame Oil (Zhenmayou, 1 jin).
Preparation: For the above ingredients, first place sesame oil in a silver pot, along with human hair, and slowly simmer over a wind stove using alternating moderate and high heat. When the hair is scorched and completely melted, add Semen Pruni Armeniacae. When the almonds turn black, filter through fine cotton cloth to remove dregs. Then pour the refined clear oil back into the silver pot, add Herba Astragali Membranacei and Radix Scrophulariae, and simmer slowly for one or two hours. Remove the pot and place it on a cold wind stove for about half an hour until the heat subsides. Next, add Exopeleus Vespa and Whole Snake Slough, stir rapidly with a willow branch, return the pot to the fire, and continue stirring constantly over low heat until the mixture turns yellow-purple. Filter through cotton cloth, then return the clear oil to the pot. While cold, add Minium and stir urgently for a moment, then move back to the fire. Simmer slowly over alternating moderate and high heat, stirring constantly with a willow branch for over a thousand turns. When the medicinal oil turns black and forms beads when dropped into water, the ointment is complete. If the beads are loose, simmer for a short while longer until the standard is met. Store in porcelain vessels, sealed for future use. If accidental overheating makes the ointment too hard to use, add a little wax to melt and add sesame oil. Seal in porcelain, steam over a steamer, stir evenly while hot, and store. After preparation, place the porcelain vessel in a basin of clean water to eliminate "fire toxicity" for one day and night, rest for three days before use. Preparing this ointment is extremely difficult; one must patiently monitor the fire intensity. If the fire is too fierce, the "fire qi" of the medicine will flare up; caution is paramount. (There are many ointment formulas, but none surpass this in efficacy.)
[Zhu Danxi] Reat Sore Cold Ointment
Formula: Radix Angelicae Sinensis (Danggui, washed, dried, 1 liang), Semen Pruni Armeniacae (Xingren, soaked in decoction, skin and tips removed, 100 units), Minium (Huangdan, finely ground, 6 liang), Young Willow Branches (Feineng Liuzhi, 3.5 liang, cut into inch-lengths, washed and dried), Young Peach Branches (Feineng Taozhi, 1 liang, cut into inch-lengths, washed and dried), Sesame Oil (Mayou, 1 jin).
Preparation: Heat the sesame oil first, add peach and willow branches, simmer until semi-charred. Wrap Radix Angelicae Sinensis and Semen Pruni Armeniacae in cotton cloth, simmer together until the willow branches are black and charred. Remove dregs, filter the oil until clear, and wipe the pot clean. Boil again, gradually adding Minium, simmering until drops do not disperse when tested in water.
Cold Sore Hot Ointment
Same as the Reat Sore Cold Ointment. Only change Radix Angelicae Sinensis body (Danggui Shen) to Radix Angelicae Sinensis tip (Danggui Shao), and reverse the proportions of peach and willow branches.
Shenxian Taiyi Ointment: Treats eight types of carbuncles and abscesses, as well as all malignant sores and soft boils, regardless of duration or whether pus has formed.
Indications: Snake or tiger bites, centipede stings, dog bites, scalds, burns, knife or axe wounds. Can be taken internally and applied externally. For back carbuncles, wash the sore with warm water, dry with clean soft cloth, apply the ointment spread on a bandage, and take with cold water. For Qi and Blood stagnation, take with warm wine. For red and white leukorrhea, take with Danggui wine. For cough, throat obstruction, and winding throat wind, wrap the ointment in new cotton and hold in the mouth to dissolve. For all wind-red eyes, shape the ointment into small cakes, apply behind the Taiyang acupoint, and take with Gardenia Decoction. For contusions and injuries, apply externally and take internally with Tangerine Peel Decoction. For lower back and knee pain, apply to the affected area and take with salt water decoction. For hemoptysis, take with Morus Alba Root Bark Decoction. For various fistulas, clean sores with salt water, spread on paper according to size, take one pill per dose (size of a cherry, coated with Tridacna Shell Powder). This ointment can be stored for ten years without spoiling; the older, the stronger. Another prescription for chronic lymphadenitis: same method, wash and apply with salt water, take one pill with wine. For women with menstrual obstruction, take with Licorice Decoction; treats all sores, boils, swelling, and pain. For sores, tinea, and scabies, refine a small amount of oil separately, mix with ointment, and apply.
Formula: Radix Scrophulariae (Xuanshen), Radix Angelicae Dahuricae (Baizhi), Radix Angelicae Sinensis (Danggui), Radix Paeoniae Rubra (Chishaoyao), Cinnamomi Cortex (Rougui, remove coarse bark), Radix et Rhizoma Rhei (Dahuang), Radix Rehmanniae Preparata (Shengdihuang) (each 1 liang).
Preparation: Coarsely crush the herbs. Soak in 2 jin of sesame oil: 5 days in spring, 3 in summer, 7 in autumn, 10 in winter. Simmer over fire until black, filter out dregs, add 1 jin of Minium, stir constantly with green willow branches until drops form beads in water and do not stick to hands. Pour into porcelain vessels, cover with bricks, bury in a cellar under a shady tree, cover with soil for three days to eliminate fire toxicity. To take internally, make pills the size of a chicken head.
Jinsi Wanying Ointment: Treats contusions and injuries, pain in limbs, shoulders, and back, and unbearable pain from cold-dampness Hong Kong foot (tinea pedis). Also for children with spleen malnutrition, dysentery, and cough who refuse medication.
Formula: Asphalt (Qingli, 2.5 jin), Radix Clematidis Chinensis (Weilingxian), Beeswax (Huangla) (each 2 liang), Semen Momordicae (Mubiezi, 28 units, shell removed, sliced and ground), Semen Ricini (Bimazi, 100 units, shell removed, ground), Myrrha (Moyao), Olibanum (Ruxiang) (each 1 liang, separately ground), Sesame Oil (Mayou: 2 liang in summer, 3 liang in spring/autumn, 4 liang in winter).
Preparation: First melt asphalt and Radix Clematidis Chinensis in a pot, stirring with locust or willow branches until scorched black. Filter through heavy cotton. Place asphalt in a water basin to cool into blocks. Weigh out 2 jin of pure asphalt, remelt in the pot, add sesame oil, beeswax, Ricinus paste, and Momordica paste. Stir constantly with locust/willow branches over low heat until drops do not stick to water and can be pulled into golden silk threads. If too hard, add oil; if too soft, add asphalt. Once standardized, add Olibanum and Myrrha. Without removing from the charcoal fire, stir hundreds of times with locust/willow branches. Filter through coarse cloth into a water basin, pull into golden silk threads, changing water frequently, soak for one day. Then stew in a small pot.

Formula: Premium Minium (Huangdan, 8 liang, finely ground), White Rosin (Baijiaoxiang), Clear Myrrha (Mingmoyao), Dripping Olibanum (Diluxiang) (all separately ground), Large Radix Angelicae Sinensis (Da Danggui), Sichuan Baizhi (Chuan Baizhi), Semen Pruni Armeniacae (Xingren, skin and tips removed), Radix et Rhizoma Rhei (Dahuang), Aconitum Kusnezoffii (Caowutou), Aconitum Carmichaelii (Chuanwutou), Radix Paeoniae Rubra (Chishaoyao), Areca Seed (Binglang), Dried Radix Rehmanniae (Shenggan Dihuang), Wild Chuanxiong (Tuxiong), Human Hair (Luafa, clean washed), Blue Pigment (Diqing) (separately ground, each 1 liang).
Preparation: Except for Olibanum and Myrrha, place 1 jin of fragrant oil in a ceramic stone pot, soak herbs overnight, simmer slowly until herbs are black. Add scallion whites and human hair, simmer briefly, filter through raw silk to remove dregs, reserving 1 liang of medicinal oil. Simmer the filtered oil slowly, add Minium, stir constantly with long willow and locust branches. When slight smoke rises, lift the pot and drip medicine onto water surface with willow branch; when it forms stable beads, the ointment is ready. If beads do not form, simmer further until ready. Lift pot, stir until no smoke, add powdered Olibanum, Myrrha, and White Rosin, mix evenly, and pour out. Collect reserved soaking oil and pot oil in the porcelain vessel. Sit the vessel in fresh water, changing water daily for three days to eliminate fire toxicity. If ointment is hard, add appropriate amount of beeswax and clear oil, mix well. (Making ointment is extremely difficult; patience with fire control is essential. Too strong fire causes fire qi to flare, losing medicinal properties and risking injury to the maker; be cautious.)

For ding swellings, first puncture the center and surrounding areas with a silver comb or deer horn needle to release bad blood.

If the sore is severely necrotic and difficult to patch, boil 2-3 slices of Gleditsia Sinensis, mix with oil and ointment to a thick paste, apply thinly. Pus may increase initially; drying occurs after few applications, which is ideal.
