人有生痈于小肚之间，断无阳毒之症，以其属于阴之部位也。阴位生阴毒之症，似乎至重，然治之得法，
一用阳药，立可成功。无奈世人一见肚腹生疮，往往多用阴药以消毒，反致痈成难救之症，良可悯也！然余所
谓阳药者，非散火祛风之药，乃补气温火之味耳。盖阴地而结成阴毒者，乃虚寒之故也。寒因虚而不行，毒因
寒而郁结，故用热药以祛寒，自能寒解而毒散也。方用祛寒救腹丹（按∶《辨证奇闻》、《辨证录》改作避寒
救腹丹，非是）∶
白术（三两） 金银花（三两） 茯苓（三钱） 肉桂（三钱） 附子（一钱） 当归（五钱） 蛇床子（五钱）
水煎服（按∶《辨证奇闻》、《辨证录》当归作二两），一剂而痈消矣，倘已溃者三剂而脓尽肉生矣，四
剂痊愈。此方用白术为君，专利腰脐之气，腰脐之气利，则下腹之部位尽利矣。佐以金银花、蛇床子以祛其毒
气，则毒瓦斯易消矣。然恐寒凉之药不能直入，故加附子、肉桂，斩关突围而进也。惟是桂附术床俱是干燥之品，
毒虽祛除，未免耗血，故用当归阳中滋阴，少制其燥，则阴寒散而又无阳旺之虞，所以既能奏功而又无后
患也。
秘诀∶
祛寒救腹术银三，苓桂三钱附一钱，
归床五钱一服消，已溃四剂妙如仙。
此症方用鸣宝丹亦效∶
黄 （二两） 甘草（三钱） 白术（二两） 金银花（二两） 车前子（五钱） 蛇床子（五钱）
柴胡（一钱） 肉桂（一钱） 贝母（一钱） 山茱萸（一钱）
水煎服，一剂消，二剂愈，加人参用之更妙。
秘决∶
肚痈须用鸣宝丹，黄 二两草三钱，
术银二两车床五，柴桂贝萸一钱添。
有人在腹部下方（小腹）之间长出痈疽，这绝对不是阳毒类型的病症，因为该部位属于阴。在阴的部位生出阴毒类的病症，看似非常严重，但如果治疗方法得当，使用温阳的药物，立刻就能取得成效。无奈世上一见到肚腹生疮，往往多用寒凉性质的药物来清热解毒，反而导致痈疽发展成难以救治的病症，实在令人怜悯！然而我所说的“阳药”，并不是疏散火热、祛除风邪的药物，而是补益气温助阳火的药材罢了。大概是因为在阴的部位结成阴毒，是由于虚寒的缘故。寒气因为正气虚弱而不能运行，毒邪因为寒气凝滞而郁结，所以使用热性药物来祛除寒气，自然能寒气解除而毒邪消散。方剂用祛寒救腹丹（按：《辨证奇闻》、《辨证录》改为避寒救腹丹，这是不对的）：
白术（三两）、金银花（三两）、茯苓（三钱）、肉桂（三钱）、附子（一钱）、当归（五钱）、蛇床子（五钱）。水煎服（按：《辨证奇闻》、《辨证录》中当归用量为二两），服用一剂后痈疽即可消除；如果已经溃破的，服用三剂后脓液排尽、新肉生长；服用四剂即可痊愈。此方以白术为君药，专门通利腰脐部位的气机，腰脐之气通畅，则下腹部的所有部位都能得到疏通。辅以金银花、蛇床子来祛除毒气，那么毒邪就容易消散。然而担心寒凉性质的药物不能直接深入病所，所以加入附子、肉桂，像冲破关卡一样直达病灶。只是桂枝、附子、白术、蛇床子都是干燥性质的药材，虽然毒邪被祛除，难免会耗伤阴血，所以使用当归在温阳之中滋养阴血，稍微制约其燥性，这样阴寒散去而又没有阳气过旺的担忧，因此既能奏效又没有后患。
秘诀口诀：
祛寒救腹术银三，苓桂三钱附一钱，
归床五钱一服消，已溃四剂妙如仙。
这种病症使用鸣宝丹也有效：
黄芪（二两）、甘草（三钱）、白术（二两）、金银花（二两）、车前子（五钱）、蛇床子（五钱）、柴胡（一钱）、肉桂（一钱）、贝母（一钱）、山茱萸（一钱）。水煎服，一剂可消，二剂可愈，加入人参使用效果更佳。
There are cases where carbuncles (sores) develop in the lower abdomen. These are absolutely not Yang-toxin syndromes, as this area belongs to Yin. A Yin-toxin syndrome arising in a Yin location appears extremely severe; however, if treated with the correct method using Yang-warming herbs, success can be achieved immediately. Regrettably, when people see sores on the abdomen, they often overuse Yin-cooling herbs to clear heat and detoxify, which instead causes the carbuncle to become incurable. This is truly pitiable! However, by "Yang herbs," I do not mean herbs that disperse fire and eliminate wind, but rather those that tonify Qi and warm the Fire. The formation of Yin-toxin in a Yin region is due to deficiency-cold. Cold stagnates because of deficiency, and toxin becomes trapped due to cold. Therefore, using hot-natured herbs to dispel cold naturally resolves the cold and disperses the toxin. The formula used is Quhan Jiufu Dan (Cold-Dispelling Abdomen-Saving Decoction) (Note: *Bianzheng Qiwun* and *Bianzheng Lu* change the name to Bihan Jiufu Dan, which is incorrect):
Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (3 liang), Honeysuckle Flower (3 liang), Poria (3 qian), Cinnamon Twig (3 qian), Aconite Lateralis Radix Praeparata (1 qian), Angelicae Sinensis Radix (5 qian), Cnidii Fructus (5 qian). Decoct in water and take orally (Note: *Bianzheng Qiwun* and *Bianzheng Lu* list Angelicae Sinensis Radix as 2 liang). One dose eliminates the carbuncle; if already ulcerated, three doses will drain pus and regenerate flesh; four doses lead to complete recovery. In this formula, Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma serves as the Sovereign herb, specifically promoting the flow of Qi in the waist and umbilical region. When the Qi in the waist and umbilicus flows freely, the entire lower abdominal region benefits. It is assisted by Honeysuckle Flower and Cnidii Fructus to dispel toxic qi, making the toxin easier to dissipate. However, fearing that cooling herbs cannot penetrate directly to the site, Aconite Lateralis Radix Praeparata and Cinnamon Twig are added to break through barriers and reach the target. Since Cinnamon Twig, Aconite, Atractylodes, and Cnidius are all dry-natured substances, although the toxin is removed, there is a risk of consuming blood. Therefore, Angelicae Sinensis Radix is used to nourish Yin within Yang, slightly restraining their dryness. This ensures that while Yin-cold is scattered, there is no fear of excessive Yang flourishing, allowing efficacy without subsequent complications.

This condition can also be effectively treated with Mingbao Dan:
Astragali Radix (2 liang), Licorice Root (3 qian), Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (2 liang), Honeysuckle Flower (2 liang), Plantago Seed (5 qian), Cnidii Fructus (5 qian), Bupleuri Radix (1 qian), Cinnamon Twig (1 qian), Fritillariae Bulbus (1 qian), Corni Fruit (1 qian). Decoct in water and take orally. One dose reduces it, two doses cure it. Adding Ginseng Radix enhances the effect.
