救唇汤∶紫花地丁、金银花各一两,白果二十个,生甘草、知母各三钱,水煎服。至重
三剂必愈。此方治头面口角疔毒俱效,唇疔更妙。

。用蛔虫捣烂敷之,顷刻疮口流出黄水,肿消神清,次日全愈。如无蛔虫,以五谷虫一钱(

此疔流走最快。生于足者,其红丝渐长至脐;生于手者,红丝渐长至心;生于唇面者,
红丝渐长至喉,至则不可救矣。手足两处,可用头发离丝一二寸远紧紧捆住,并将丝头刺破
,或用灯火、或用艾火在丝头烧之,丝即退散而愈。不散再烧,以散为度,其效如神。或照
各前方治之。
救唇汤:紫花地丁、金银花各一两,白果二十个,生甘草、知母各三钱,用水煎煮后服用。病情最重的,服用三剂必定痊愈。此方治疗头面及口角部位的疔毒均有效,治疗唇疔效果更佳。
又一方:有一人唇口生出七个疔疮,头面部肿胀如斗大,心中烦闷、神志昏沉,各种药物都无效。后来有人告知:这名叫“七星赶月”。用蛔虫捣烂外敷患处,片刻之后疮口流出黄水,肿胀消退、神志清醒,第二天完全康复。如果没有蛔虫,可用五谷虫一钱(在瓦上焙干,研成粉末),白矾三分,蟾酥三分,用烧酒溶化后共同调匀,敷在疔疮上。过一会儿疔疮也会破溃流出毒水而痊愈。
又一方:凡是口唇生疔,观察大腿弯曲处是否有紫色的筋络,用银针刺破出血即可痊愈。有人不知道疔疮的具体位置,只是感觉唇内极度瘙痒,不一会儿半侧面部肿胀坚硬且疼痛剧烈,看到腿部后方有紫筋出现,刺破它立刻见效。
又一方:将雄鸡冠上的血点上,疗效神奇。
又一方:取一个大蛤蟆,将其肝脏取出贴敷患处,立刻消散。兼治面部生疔、对口疔等病症。
又一方:取乌色草鱼,去鳞取皮,切片贴敷,随贴随干,干了就另外更换。更换几十次后,疔疮就会破口而愈。
这种疔疮流窜速度最快。生于足部的,红丝逐渐延长至肚脐;生于手部的,红丝逐渐延长至心脏部位;生于唇面部的,红丝逐渐延长至咽喉,一旦到达咽喉就无法救治了。手足两处的疔疮,可用头发离疔疮一二寸远的地方紧紧捆住,并将丝头刺破,或者用灯火或艾火在丝头处烧灼,红丝就会退散而痊愈。如果不散再烧,以红丝散开为限度,疗效神奇。或者参照前面的各方进行治疗。
疔疮形状像韭菜叶宽,长一二寸,肉质呈紫黑色的是此类,忌讳用针刺。用前面的葱白矾散内服,并用稀薄的鸡粪敷在上面,即可痊愈。拖延久了则毒气归入心脏导致致命。
Jiu Chun Tang (Rescue Lip Decoction): Radix Violae Yedoensis (Zihua Diding) and Flos Lonicerae Japonicae (Jinyinhua), each 1 liang; Semen Ginkgo (Baiguo), 20 pieces; Raw Radix Glycyrrhizae (Sheng Gancao) and Cortex Morindae Officinalis (Zhimu), each 3 qian. Decoct in water and take orally. For the most severe cases, three doses will surely cure it. This formula is effective for treating carbuncles and toxic sores on the head, face, and corners of the mouth, with even better results for lip carbuncles.
Another prescription: A person had seven carbuncles growing on the lips and mouth, with the head and face swollen as large as a dou (a unit of volume), accompanied by chest oppression and unconsciousness, to which various medicines were ineffective. Later, someone said: this is called "Seven Stars Chasing the Moon." Apply crushed Ascaris lumbricoides (Hui Chong) externally to the lesion. Within moments, yellow fluid flowed from the wound, the swelling subsided, consciousness returned, and full recovery occurred the next day. If Ascaris lumbricoides is unavailable, use 1 qian of Lumbricus (Wugu Chong) (roasted on a tile and ground into powder), 3 fen of Alumen (Bai Fan), and 3 fen of Toad Venom (Chansu). Dissolve in distilled spirits (Shaojiu), mix well, and apply to the carbuncle. After a short while, the carbuncle will also break open, discharge toxic fluid, and heal.
Another prescription: Whenever a carbuncle grows on the lips, observe if there are purple veins in the popliteal fossa (the bend of the thigh). Puncture them with a silver needle to release blood, and it will heal. Some people do not know where the carbuncle is located but feel extreme itching inside the lips, followed quickly by swelling, hardness, and severe pain on half of the face. If purple veins appear at the back of the leg, puncturing them yields immediate effect.
Another prescription: Apply blood from the comb of a rooster directly onto the lesion; its efficacy is miraculous.
Another prescription: Take one large Bufo bufo gargarizans (Da Xia Ma), extract its liver, and apply it to the lesion for immediate resolution. It also treats carbuncles on the face and duikou carbuncles (carbuncles opposite the navel or on the back).
Another prescription: Use fresh Corbicula fluminea (Sheng Xian), remove the shell, crush and blend, then apply. It dissipates immediately.
Another prescription: Take a dark-colored grass carp (Wuse Cao Yu), remove scales, take the skin, slice it, and apply. Replace when dry. After dozens of changes, the lesion will break open and heal.
This type of carbuncle spreads fastest. If it arises on the foot, the red thread gradually extends to the umbilicus; if on the hand, it extends to the heart region; if on the lips or face, it extends to the throat. Once it reaches the throat, it is incurable. For carbuncles on the hands and feet, tightly bind hair around the limb one or two cun away from the lesion. Pierce the end of the hair bundle, or burn the end of the red thread using a lamp flame or moxa fire. The red thread will recede and the condition will heal. If it does not recede, burn again until it disperses. The efficacy is miraculous. Alternatively, treat according to the previous formulas mentioned above.
The carbuncle resembles the width of a leek leaf, one to two cun in length, with flesh appearing purple-black. Avoid puncturing with needles. Administer Cong Bai Fan San (Green Onion and Alum Powder) orally, and apply thin chicken manure externally. It will heal promptly. Delaying treatment allows the toxin to enter the heart, leading to death.
