The so-called foolishness is used for the essence of Qi and blood. The second difficulty is to discuss with the example of chrysolite, which is the toxic ear. Shi Zhen's statement is very clear. He can't try it, but he can't do it outside. "

"Ben Jing" is used to treat hernia and Qi, remove the internal accumulation, treat carbuncle and swelling, and remove the external evil. But the sex is the most violent, which makes people feel dizzy. Qian Jin Fang and Yinyu are both powerful agents for removing evil and wind. They are rarely used in modern times. Except for poisonous fish, they only use bath to block damp wind and fry insect teeth, but do not let them enter the eyes when bathing. "
