[Preparation and Usage Method] Wash the live snails thoroughly, then crush them together with their shells until they become a paste-like consistency. Apply the paste onto the ulcerated surface, cover it with a wet gauze, and change the dressing once a day.

[Indications] Promote blood circulation and unblock the channels, remove necrotic tissues and generate new muscles. It is used for treating thromboangiitis obliterans.

Note: According to the record in “Shaanxi Journal of Traditional Chinese Medicine”: A male patient suffered from this condition. The area below the ankle joint of the affected limb was red, swollen and 发紫 (turned purple). The anterior two-thirds of the dorsum of the foot was purplish black, and four toes had fallen off. The wound was dark purple, the middle toe was necrotic internally, the tendons were rotten and the bones were exposed. The ulcer surface was 5 cm by 6 cm in size and gave off an extremely foul smell. The calf was also swollen, and the muscles in the areas without swelling had obviously atrophied. The dorsalis pedis artery, posterior tibial artery, and popliteal artery could not be felt for pulsation. The patient was emaciated all over, with a pale complexion. The hospital had suggested amputation. Later, this method was used. Half a day after applying the paste, the pain gradually subsided, and the patient only felt a slight pulling pain and itching sensation at the local area. The dressing was changed every other day, and after a total of 6 applications, the pain disappeared. All the necrotic tissues had fallen off. New granulation tissues grew, the tender skin gradually grew, the swelling in the non-ulcerated areas subsided, and the skin color gradually returned to normal. The ulcer healed after half a month. The patient could walk without the aid of a crutch. Three months later, the two lower limbs were of equal thickness. The artery resumed pulsation. The patient could walk without a limp, and his physical condition recovered. It has not recurred for 4 years up to now.

This recipe also has a miraculous effect on treating varicose ulcers.

It should be noted that although there are relevant records regarding the treatment methods for some diseases, in practical application, especially when it comes to serious illnesses, they should be treated with caution. It is necessary to consult the opinions of professional doctors and not simply rely on such folk remedies.
