الفصد

" شرطة محجم " ما قد يتناول الفصد، وأيضا فالحجم في البلاد الحارة أنجح من الفصد،

 والفصد في البلاد التي ليست بحارة أنجح من الحجم .

مواضع الفصد فقد حصروها في أربعة وثلاثين وريدا:

أثنى عشر في الرأس كاليافوخ والخششاء والأرنبة والودجين،

واثنى عشر في اليدين كالكحل والباسليق،

 وثمانية في الرجلين كعرق النساء، والاسيلم وحيث يربط الزند  فوق الكوع بأربع أصابع

أما الشرايين فتارة تفصد وتارة تبتر وتارة تسل  وتارة تكوى
