巨阙穴，用于治疗蛊毒。（《铜人腧穴针灸图经》记载于心痛条下。）民间也有用灸法治疗的。在南方地区，若患蛊病，在心下部按压后，用大艾炷灸一百壮。此法也主治猫鬼病，同样可以灸治痊愈。另外，还应在足下小趾尖上灸三壮。此时会有异物排出。如果是饮酒后得的蛊，会有酒液排出；如果是进食米饭后得的蛊，会有饭粒排出；如果是进食肉类蔬菜后得的蛊，会有肉菜排出。这样即可痊愈，效果神奇灵验。这些排出的东西都从灸疮中出来。（出自《千金方》）
梅师治疗突然中蛊的人。症状为下血像鸡肝一样，脏腑败坏。将桔梗捣汁服用七分（剂量），效果更佳。《录验方》也说，突然中蛊，血像鸡肝，昼夜出血。将桔梗捣成粉末，用酒送服一方寸匕的剂量，每日三次。如果药咽不下去，撬开嘴灌进去。又有使用马蔺根末，用水送服一方寸匕，随呕吐则毒物排出，极其神效。《肘后备急方》说，凡是中蛊，让人心腹剧烈疼痛，好像有东西在咬。或者吐血、下血。如果不立即治疗，会腐蚀人的五脏，全部蚀尽就会死亡。取蓖麻一枚去皮，与朴硝一钱共同研碎，用新汲水作为一次服用的量。连续服用二三服即见效。这个方子虽然未经尝试，但也算是奇方。
外丘穴，治疗被狗咬伤。毒素不能排出，引发寒热症状。迅速用三壮艾炷灸咬伤处，立刻痊愈。（出自《铜人腧穴针灸图经》）春末夏初，狗咬人，会让人发狂。过了一百天才能免除（危险）。应当终身禁止食用犬肉和蚕蛹，吃了这些就会发病，不可救治。先去除恶血。在灸疮中灸十壮。第二天以后，每天灸一壮，一百天后停止。忌酒。每七天捣韭汁饮用一二盏。如果睡觉时蛇进入七窍，用艾灸蛇尾，蛇就会出来。又一种方法：用刀切开蛇尾少许，放入花椒七粒，蛇自己就会出来。出来后急忙将雄黄、朱砂细研，用人参汤煎调灌服，以取出蛇毒。（出自《单方》）
山居的人如果被蛇咬伤，立即用尿液淋洗伤口，擦干，用艾灸治疗有效。
《朝野佥载》记载，用艾炷在毒蛇咬伤处灸，引出毒气而病愈。薄切独头蒜贴在蛇咬处灸，透热就停止。在蛇毒上灸二十一到二十七壮。如果没有艾，就用火头的大小来称量疮孔的大小进行灸治。（出自《千金翼方》）狂犬咬人，让人吮去恶血直至干净，灸一百壮后每天灸，一百天为止。如果血出不来，一生忌酒和猪肉。（出自《千金翼方》）
Jueque (CV14) is indicated for treating Gu poison (a traditional concept referring to diseases caused by venomous insects or magical poisoning). (Recorded under Heartache in *Tongren Shuxue Zhenjiu Tujing* [Illustrated Manual of Acupoints and Needling and Moxibustion of the Copper Man].) Folk medicine also employs moxibustion. In southern regions, if one suffers from Gu disease, after pressing on the epigastrium, apply large moxa cones, 100 moxa units (Zhuang), at this point. This method also treats Cat Ghost disease (a folk illness attributed to supernatural causes), which can also be cured by moxibustion. Additionally, apply 3 moxa units on the tip of the little toe. At this time, foreign matter will be expelled. If the Gu was contracted through alcohol consumption, liquid resembling wine will be discharged; if contracted through rice consumption, rice grains will be discharged; if contracted through meat or vegetable consumption, meat and vegetables will be discharged. The patient will then recover. This is highly effective and miraculous. All discharges occur from the moxibustion blisters. (From *Qianjin Fang* [Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold])
Master Mei treats sudden onset of Gu poisoning. Symptoms include hematochezia with blood resembling chicken liver, and deterioration of the Zang-Fu organs. Crush Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix [Balloon Flower Root]) to extract juice and administer 7 fen (approx. 2-3 grams); this is optimal. *Luyuan Fang* [Verified Records Formula] also states that for sudden Gu poisoning, blood resembles chicken liver, bleeding day and night. Crush Jiegeng into powder, administer with wine, one Fangcun Bi (approx. 5-10 ml volume of powder), three times daily. If the patient cannot swallow, pry open the mouth and force-feed. Another method uses Malin Gen (Iris lactea var. chinensis root) powder, administered with water, one Fangcun Bi. Vomiting will expel the toxin; this is extremely effective. *Zhouhou Beiji Fang* [Emergency Prescriptions Kept Up One’s Sleeve] states that anyone suffering from Gu experiences severe heart and abdominal pain, as if being bitten by something. There may be hematemesis or hematochezia. If not treated immediately, it will erode the five Zang organs; once all are eroded, death ensues. Take one seed of Bimamu (Ricini Semen [Castor Seed]), peeled, and mix with 1 qian (approx. 3-5 grams) of Puxiao (Natrii Sulfas [Mirabilite]). Grind together, prepare as a single dose with fresh well-water. Administer continuously for 2-3 doses for efficacy. Although this prescription has not been tested personally, it is considered a remarkable formula.
Waiqiu (GB36) is indicated for injuries caused by dog bites where toxins fail to exit, leading to aversion to cold and fever. Quickly apply 3 moxa units to the bite site; recovery is immediate. (From *Tongren Shuxue Zhenjiu Tujing*). In late spring and early summer, dog bites can cause madness. Danger persists for over 100 days. One must abstain from consuming dog meat and silkworm pupae for life; ingestion triggers relapse, which is incurable. First, remove the evil blood. Apply 10 moxa units within the moxibustion blister. From the next day onwards, apply 1 moxa unit daily until 100 days have passed. Avoid alcohol. Every seven days, drink 1-2 cups of freshly crushed Jiuzhi (Allii Tuberosi Juice [Chinese Chive Juice]). If a snake enters the seven orifices during sleep, apply moxibustion to the snake’s tail to make it exit. Another method: slightly incise the snake’s tail with a knife, insert 7 grains of Huajiao (Zanthoxyli Pericarpium [Sichuan Pepper]), and the snake will exit spontaneously. After expulsion, rapidly grind Xionghuang (Realgar [Arsenic Sulfide]) and Zhusha (Cinnabar [Mercury Sulfide]) into fine powder, mix with Ginseng Tang (Ginseng Decoction), and administer to extract snake venom. (From *Danfang* [Single Formulas])
People living in mountainous areas who are bitten by snakes should immediately urinate on the wound, wipe dry, and treat with moxibustion for efficacy.
*Chaoye Qianzai* [Records of the Court and the World] records applying moxa cones to the site of a venomous snake bite to draw out toxic vapors, resulting in recovery. Apply thin slices of Dutou Suan (Allium unibracteatum [Single-Scale Garlic]) to the bite site and moxibustate until heat penetrates, then stop. Apply 21-27 moxa units directly on the snake venom site. If moxa is unavailable, use the flame size to match the size of the wound. (From *Qianjin Yifang* [Supplement to Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold]) Rabid dog bites require sucking out all evil blood thoroughly, followed by 100 moxa units, then daily moxibustation for 100 days. If blood does not flow, avoid alcohol and pork for life. (From *Qianjin Yifang*)
