Features: This book focuses on the topical application method for treating internal conditions within the category of external treatment for internal diseases. It includes external topical applications such as sores, general skin conditions, or external treatment methods like acupuncture, steam baths, and massage, but does not cover these topics.
1. Cases that appear as external conditions (e.g., sores or surgical issues) but require cross-disciplinary treatment and can be directly applied to the affected area or related acupoints are included.
2. Diseases that resemble surgical or dermatological conditions but require multi-purpose medication in modern medical treatment are also included in this selection.
3. Persistent, chronic, cross-disciplinary difficult and refractory diseases where topical application is proven effective are included.
4. For topical applications, there are two types of titles: one organized by organ systems followed by specific organ diseases, and another directly classified by disease names. This chapter is designed for easy reference and practicality.
5. Entries from reference books retain their original citations if the original source is noted. Directly from journals, the journal name, issue, and page number are listed. For review articles from journals, the original source is noted, along with an additional citation of the journal name and month selected by this compiler.
6. In the selected prescriptions, if a single formula has multiple uses and treats different conditions, it is repeated in the selection.
