《经》云∶湿为停着。凡关节疼痛,重痹而弱,皆为湿着。若气不平,亦使人半身不遂
,口眼 斜,涎潮昏塞,此中湿之候也。夫寒热风湿,皆能并合为病,所谓风湿、寒湿、湿
温者,其证各不同,为治亦别,不可不辨。若治风湿、寒湿,当发其汗,但微微似汗出,则
风湿俱去;若大汗出,风去湿不去,则不能愈;若治单单中湿,只宜利小便,忌不得以火攻
并转利。湿家下之,额上汗出,微喘,小便不利者死;若下利不止者亦死。论曰∶治湿不利
小便,非其治也。

The Classic states: "Dampness tends to stagnate and adhere." Any joint pain, heavy numbness, and weakness are due to dampness adhering. If Qi is not smooth, it can also cause hemiplegia, deviation of the mouth and eye, flooding of saliva leading to coma and obstruction, which are signs of being struck by dampness. Cold, heat, wind, and dampness can all combine to cause disease. The so-called Wind-Damp, Cold-Damp, and Damp-Warmth have different manifestations and require different treatments; this must be distinguished carefully. When treating Wind-Damp or Cold-Damp, one should induce sweating, but only slightly moistening sweat will expel both wind and dampness; if profuse sweating occurs, wind may leave but dampness remains, preventing cure. For isolated Dampness invasion, promoting urination is appropriate, while fire therapy and excessive purgation are contraindicated. If a patient with dampness is treated with purgatives and presents with sweating on the forehead, slight wheezing, and difficulty urinating, death ensues; similarly, if there is unremitting diarrhea, death ensues. It is stated: "Treating dampness without promoting urination is not the correct treatment."
