Carbuncle is a suppurative disease that occurs when qi and blood are congested and blocked by evil poisons and can be divided into internal and external carbuncles, which are mostly caused by the disharmony between Ying and Wei due to exogenous influences of six evils, dietary disorders, and traumatic poisonous infections, and so on, and the coagulation of evil heat and the stagnation of qi and blood are caused by the heat winning over the flesh and rotting. The above symptoms can be relieved by the treatment of eliminating swelling and dispersing knots, i.e., the use of medicinal agents with the ability to detoxify, activate blood circulation, disperse knots and clear the channels, such as Andrographis paniculata, Soapberry or Manganese nitrate, etc., in order to achieve the purpose of eliminating carbuncles and dispersing knots.
