惟头上及肾俞穴生毒不可灸，元气大虚之人亦不可灸。

如果疮毒已经结块或尚未结块，局部红肿发热、疼痛肿胀，但未见脓头，或者出现一粒黄色如芥子大小的脓点，先用湿纸贴在患处，观察纸张哪里先干，那里就是脓头形成的位置。取独头大蒜，切成约三个铜钱厚度的薄片，放在脓头顶上，用艾火灸三壮，换一片再灸，感到疼痛的灸到不痛为止，原本不痛的灸到有痛感为度。最重要的是尽早发现并尽早施灸，发病一二天的，十次灸治十次能愈。超过七天就不能再灸了！如果有十几个脓头的，将大蒜捣成膏状做成饼铺在上面，聚集艾草燃烧熏烤，也能使病情安定。只有头部以及肾俞穴生毒不可灸，元气极度虚弱的人也不可以灸。
另一个方子：穿山甲四片，黄明牛皮胶四两，在新瓦上炒焦，研磨细碎混合均匀，用酒调匀，从容服完，保证没有大祸患。外用牛皮胶，少加姜汁，熬成稀糊状，用布摊开贴敷非常妙。这个方子救人已多，未溃破的微微渗出黄水，已溃破的就能收口愈合。

治疗痈疽发背，一切无名疔肿恶疮都有效。芙蓉花，不论多少，根据疮的大小，捣烂敷在患处周围，留一个口排脓。如果尚未成形也全部敷上，收敛缩小即消退。如果没有花的时候，干花也可以。叶子、根皮都很好。加入少许赤小豆研成末，用蜂蜜、茶水调敷极有效。术士们不肯传授此方，大多以此珍秘它。
Regardless of whether it is incense sticks or stick incense, grind them into a fine powder, mix with *Baijiu* (fermented spirit), and apply to the affected area for immediate cure.
If the sore has already formed a head or not yet, presenting with redness, heat, swelling, and pain without a visible pus point, or if there is a single yellow grain resembling a mustard seed, first paste a wet paper on the lesion. Observe where the paper dries first; this indicates the location of the abscess head. Take a single-clove garlic, slice it to the thickness of three coins, place it on the abscess head, and moxibustion with three cones (*Zhuang*). Replace with a new slice and continue moxibustion. For painful cases, moxibustion until pain ceases; for non-painful cases, moxibustion until pain arises. It is crucial to detect and treat early. For sores appearing within one or two days, ten treatments yield ten cures. After seven days, moxibustion is contraindicated! If there are dozens of heads, crush garlic into a paste, form into cakes, lay them over the area, and burn gathered mugwort (*Ai Ye*) above them to stabilize the condition. However, sores on the head and at the *Shenshu* (BL-23) acupoint must not be moxibusted, nor should individuals with severe deficiency of *Yuan Qi* (Original Qi).
Another prescription: Four slices of Pangolin Scales (*Chuan Shan Jia*), four taels of Yellow Ming Ox-hide Glue (*Huang Ming Niu Pi Jiao*), stir-fried until scorched on a new tile, ground into a fine powder and mixed evenly. Mix with wine and consume calmly; this ensures no major disaster. Externally, use ox-hide glue with a little ginger juice, boiled into a thin paste, spread on cloth and applied; this is excellent. This prescription has saved many people: for unruptured sores, it causes slight discharge of yellow fluid; for ruptured sores, it promotes wound closure.
Yet another prescription: Five qian of raw Licorice Node (*Gan Cao Jie*), three liang of Honeysuckle Flower (*Jin Yin Hua*), one tael of Angelica Root (*Dang Gui*), five qian of Scrophularia Root (*Yuan Shen*), two qian of Trichosanthes Root (*Hua Fen*), one qian of Alum (*Bai Fan*), one slice of Aconite Root (*Fu Zi*). Decoct in water and drink. For initial onset, one dose eliminates the swelling; for established swelling, two doses eliminate it.
One tael of Honeysuckle Flower (*Jin Yin Hua*), six qian of Zhejiang Fritillary Bulb (*Zhe Bei Mu*), five qian of Red Peony Root (*Chi Shao*), four qian of Angelica Tail (*Dang Gui Wei*), two qian of Scutellaria Root (*Huang Qin*), three qian of Licorice Node (*Gan Cao Jie*), half bowl of yellow wine, two bowls of water. Decoct and drink for cure.
Effective for carbuncles, back sores, and all unnamed stingy swellings and malignant ulcers. Hibiscus flower (*Fu Rong Hua*), quantity unspecified, based on the size of the sore, crush and apply around the affected area, leaving one opening for pus drainage. If not yet formed, apply everywhere; shrinking leads to resolution. If flowers are unavailable, dried ones suffice. Leaves and root bark are also excellent. Add a small amount of Adzuki Bean (*Chi Xiao Dou*) powder, mix with honey and tea for application; highly effective. Practitioners often keep this secret.
Another prescription: For any carbuncle, ulcer, swelling, or toxin causing heart-piercing pain, day and night crying, and insomnia, take two single-clove cloves of garlic, crush them, mix with sesame oil, and apply thickly to the sore. Change when dry.
