How to prevent the plague?
1. Apply the medicine to the nostrils. For example, Shoushi Fang, an external treatment method, records: "Realgar is ground into fine powder, mixed with water and applied to nostrils, even if it is in the same bed as a patient, it is not contagious." Or apply oil to the nostrils, as recorded in the Complete Works of Experience Prescriptions: "Prescription for treating epidemic disease: apply realgar powder and vegetable oil to the nose." Besides realgar, other commonly used drugs include Atractylodes rhizome, sesame oil, clear oil and rice vinegar.
The general physical examination also records the specific time of application, that is, "after washing your face for the first time, and the time of lying down", and also "rubbing paper in your nose and counting three or five times". This method of wiping nose with realgar, blocking nose with Rhizoma Atractylodis, wiping nose with various oils and sneezing originated from the theory of "God never shuts one door but he opens another" in Su Wen's acupuncture theory.
2. Apply to acupoints or other parts. For example, the Law of External Treatment and the Book of Giving Time record: "Spleen-warming prescription, also known as Xiong Huang powder. Realgar (five taels), cinnabar, calamus, cinnamon wine (two taels each), four flavors, and finally, five hearts, forehead, nose, people and ears are screened out. "
It can even be applied to the whole body. As recorded in Treatise on Febrile Diseases: "Piwen Powder: Xiong Xiong, Shushu, Radix Angelicae Dahuricae, Ligusticum, Linglingxiang (equally divided), at the end, add four ounces of English powder every half, mix well, and often throw it on the body, without English powder and clam powder. If you sweat a lot and want to stop sweating, this method is appropriate. "
