俱属督脉经，皆由火毒而成。上发背火毒伤肺，生天柱骨下，其形横广如肚；中发背火
毒伤肝，生在背心，其形中阔，两头有尖如瓜；不发背火毒伤肾，生在腰中，其形平漫如龟
。其初起皆形如粟米， 痛麻痒，周身拘急，寒热往来，因循数日，突然大肿，气实者多
痛，气虚者多麻痒。初起治法∶不论虚实，即宜隔蒜艾火灸之，不应，则就患顶当肉灸之，
至知痛为效。是以大化小，移深居浅之法。灸后，用针当疮顶点破一孔，随用药竹筒拔法，
务使毒瓦斯内外疏通，不致内致。如有表症，发热恶寒，脉浮无汗者，服荆防败毒散汗之。如
有里症，发热、恶热、大便燥结，脉数者，服内疏黄连汤下之。表里兼有，脉浮数者，服神
授卫生汤双解之。脓势将成，必行托里，服托里透脓汤，已溃，服托里排脓汤。如溃破、腐
肉不去，外贴巴膏以化之。溃后，总宜补养气血，腐尽，生肌法按汇方选用。
此三症无论老少，总以高肿、红活、 痛者为顺，若漫肿塌陷、焦枯紫黑者为逆。虽
云由火毒而成，然未有不由阴虚而致者。《经》去∶督脉经虚，从脑而出，膀胱经虚，从背
而出，故不可专泥如火治法，所以禁用寒凉也。
治疗对口疮，无论阴证还是阳证都可以服用。金银花五钱，蒲公英一两，生甘草节三钱，用水煎煮，连续服用三剂即可消除。如果已经溃破的，使用七圣汤：真台党参、制白术、生黄芪、当归身各一两，金银花二两，白芥子三钱，上安桂（去掉粗皮）一钱，服用六次可以痊愈。
另一个方子：取滑皮虫（即蜒蚰/蜗牛），捣烂后加入冰片敷在患处，能够止痛。
又一个方子：取灶台上偷油的蟑螂（即蟑螂），去掉翅膀和脚，捣烂后加入冰片，用烂米饭调和做成饼敷在患处，也有效。
又一个方子：用蕻菜（即空心菜）捣烂敷贴，如果没有梗叶时，捣烂根部也可以。
凡是疮毒攻心，导致心神不安，饮食难以下咽。取大虾蟆一个，取下其中的蟾酥，用枣子去核，将酥包裹入枣内，再用大葱白一根剖开，将枣夹入葱内，用酒煮，去掉枣不用，吃下葱，效果极佳。
又一个方子：地骨皮研成粉末，用滚开的蜂蜜水调服即可安宁。
围敷各种肿毒极效。大黄三两，白芷二两，川乌、草乌、南星、半夏、黄柏、白芨、白蔹各一两，五倍子一两半，小粉四两（要带有酸臭味的，用醋炒），以上共同研成细末，用米醋调匀，围绕肿胀部位箍住，留出头部不敷。
又一个方子：生大黄五钱，木鳖子（土炒）三钱，共同研成细末，用真米醋调敷患处，留出头部不敷。
又一个方子：乳香、没药、麝香各三分，蜒蚰两条，共同捣烂，敷在患处即可消除，此方极效。
这些病症都属于督脉经，都是由火毒引起的。上发背是火毒伤肺，生长在颈椎下方，形状横向宽广如同肚子；中发背是火毒伤肝，生长在背心位置，形状中间宽阔，两头尖细如同瓜；不发背（腰背疽）是火毒伤肾，生长在腰部中间，形状平坦弥漫如同龟。它们初起时形状都像粟米，疼痛、麻木、瘙痒，全身拘急，寒热往来，拖延数日后，突然大幅肿胀，气实的人多痛，气虚的人多麻木瘙痒。初起的治法：不论虚实，都适宜用隔蒜灸法艾灸，如果不奏效，就直接在患处的顶端肉上施灸，直到感到疼痛为有效。这是使大病化小，使病位由深变浅的方法。艾灸后，用针在疮顶中心刺破一个孔，随即用药竹筒拔罐法，务必使毒气内外疏通，不至于内陷。如果有表症，发热恶寒，脉浮无汗的，服用荆防败毒散发汗解表。如果有里症，发热、怕热、大便燥结，脉数的，服用内疏黄连汤泻下通里。表里兼有，脉浮数的，服用神授卫生汤双解表里。脓势将要形成，必须行托里透脓之法，服用托里透脓汤；已经溃破的，服用托里排脓汤。如果溃破后腐肉不去，外贴巴膏以化解腐肉。溃破之后，总宜补养气血，腐肉尽去后，生肌敛疮的方法参照汇方选用。
这三种病症无论老少，总以高肿、红活、疼痛的为顺证，如果漫肿塌陷、焦枯紫黑的为逆证。虽然说是由火毒引起，但没有不是由于阴虚而导致的。《内经》说：督脉经虚，病从脑而出；膀胱经虚，病从背而出。所以不可专门拘泥于用火毒治法，因此禁用寒凉药物。
To treat "duikou" sores (a type of carbuncle located at the back of the neck), it can be taken regardless of whether it is a Yin syndrome or a Yang syndrome. Jinyinhua (Lonicerae Japonicae Flos) 5 qian, Pugongying (Taraxaci Herba) 1 liang, Sheng Gancao Jie (Raw Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma with nodes) 3 qian, decocted in water and taken continuously for three doses to eliminate the sore. If the sore has already ulcerated, use Qisheng Tang (Seven Sages Decoction): Zhen Taidangshen (Codonopsis Radix from Taihang Mountains), Zhi Baizhu (Prepared Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Sheng Huangqi (Raw Astragali Radix), Danggui Shen (Radix Angelicae Sinensis root portion) each 1 liang, Jinyinhua (Lonicerae Japonicae Flos) 2 liang, Baijiezi (Sinapis Semen) 3 qian, Shang Angui (Cinnamomi Cortex stripped of rough bark) 1 qian; taking it six times can lead to recovery.
Another prescription: Crush Huapichong (slippery snails/slugs), add Bingpian (Borneolum Syntheticum), and apply externally to relieve pain.
Another prescription: Take Zao Shang Touyoupo (cockroaches found on stoves), remove wings and legs, crush them, add Bingpian (Borneolum Syntheticum), mix with mushy rice to form a paste, and apply externally; this is also effective.
Another prescription: Crush Hongcai (Ipomoea aquatica, water spinach) and apply externally; if stems and leaves are unavailable, crushing the roots is also acceptable.
When sores/toxins attack the heart, causing restlessness of the mind and difficulty swallowing food: Take one large Xiamawa (toad), extract its Chan Su (Chanterelle Toad Venom), place it inside a date stone removed from the flesh, wrap the date around the venom, split one Da Congbai (white part of Allium fistulosum), sandwich the date within the scallion, boil in wine, discard the date, and eat the scallion; this is extremely effective.
Another prescription: Grind Digupi (Lycii Cortex) into powder, mix with boiling honey water, and ingest to achieve relief.
This method is highly effective for encircling various swollen toxins. Dahuang (Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) 3 liang, Baizhi (Angelicae Dahuricae Radix) 2 liang, Chuanwu (Aconiti Radix), Caowu (Aconiti Kusnezoffii Radix), Nanxing (Arisaematis Rhizoma), Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma), Huangbai (Phellodendri Cortex), Baiji (Bletillae Rhizoma), Bailian (Puerariae Lobatae Radix) each 1 liang, Wubeizi (Galla Chinensis) 1.5 liang, Xiaofen (Tapioca Starch, preferably sour-smelling, stir-fried with vinegar) 4 liang. Grind all above into fine powder, mix evenly with Rice Vinegar, apply around the swelling to encircle it, leaving the head exposed.
Another prescription: Sheng Dahuang (Raw Rhei Radix et Rhizoma) 5 qian, Mubiezi (Strychni Semen, earth-fried) 3 qian, grind into fine powder, mix with authentic Rice Vinegar, and apply to the affected area, leaving the head exposed.
Another prescription: Rushiang (Olibanum), Moyao (Myrrha), Shexiang (Moscus) each 3 fen, Yan You (two slugs), crush together and apply to the affected area to eliminate swelling; this prescription is extremely effective.
All these conditions belong to the Du Mai (Governor Vessel) meridian and are caused by Fire-Toxin. Upper Fabei (Upper Back Carbuncle) involves Fire-Toxin injuring the Lung, occurring below the Tianzhu bone (cervical spine), with a shape wide horizontally like a belly. Middle Fabei (Middle Back Carbuncle) involves Fire-Toxin injuring the Liver, occurring on the center of the back, with a shape broad in the middle and pointed at both ends like a melon. Lower Fabei (Lower Back Carbuncle) involves Fire-Toxin injuring the Kidney, occurring in the waist, with a flat and spreading shape like a turtle. Initially, they appear like millet grains, accompanied by pain, numbness, itching, general stiffness, alternating chills and fever. After lingering for several days, sudden massive swelling occurs. Those with excess Qi experience more pain; those with deficient Qi experience more numbness and itching. Initial treatment: Regardless of deficiency or excess, moxibustion with garlic slices should be applied first. If ineffective, direct moxibustion should be applied to the top of the lesion until pain is felt. This is the method of transforming large lesions into small ones and moving deep pathology to superficial levels. After moxibustion, pierce a hole at the apex of the sore with a needle, then use medicinal bamboo cupping to drain. It is crucial to ensure the toxin is vented internally and externally to prevent internalization. If exterior symptoms exist (fever, aversion to cold, floating pulse, no sweat), administer Jingfang Baidu San (Schizonepeta and Saposhnikovia Powder to Overcome Toxicity) to induce sweating. If interior symptoms exist (fever, heat intolerance, dry constipation, rapid pulse), administer Neishu Huanglian Tang (Internal Draining Coptis Decoction) to purge. If both exterior and interior symptoms exist with a floating-rapid pulse, administer Shenshou Weisheng Tang (Divine Grant Health-Preserving Decoction) to resolve both. When pus formation is imminent, employ the method of supporting the interior and penetrating pus by administering Tuoli Tou Nong Tang (Interior-Supporting Pus-Penetrating Decoction). Once ulcerated, administer Tuoli Pai Nong Tang (Interior-Supporting Pus-Discharging Decoction). If necrotic tissue remains after ulceration, apply Bagao externally to dissolve it. Post-ulceration, always nourish Qi and Blood. For flesh regeneration methods after necrotic tissue is cleared, refer to collected prescriptions.
For these three conditions, regardless of age, high swelling, redness, vitality, and pain indicate a favorable prognosis (Shun). Flat swelling, collapse, desiccation, and purple-black discoloration indicate an unfavorable prognosis (Ni). Although attributed to Fire-Toxin, there is no case not resulting from Yin Deficiency. The Classic states: Deficiency in the Du Mai leads to pathology emerging from the brain; deficiency in the Bladder Meridian leads to pathology emerging from the back. Therefore, one must not rigidly adhere solely to treating Fire-Toxin, hence cold-cooling herbs are contraindicated.
