Treatment for Yangming Cold Damage (Yangming Shanghan), presenting with a long pulse, body heat, aversion to cold absent, eye pain, nasal dryness, inability to sleep, abdominal fullness, throat dryness and thirst, hard stool, and delirium; or a deep and solid pulse after sweating; or diarrhea with hardness in the epigastrium; or after purgation has already been administered, yet the pulse remains forceful upon both superficial and deep palpation.
Dahuang (Rhubarb Radix et Rhizoma, washed with wine, ban liang) Mangxiao (Natrii Sulfas, fen, separately ground and added) Nongpo (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex, ginger-processed, yi liang) Zhishi (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus, fen, sliced, stir-fried, pith removed)
The above ingredients are coarsely powdered. Each dose consists of five qian, boiled with two zhan of water until reduced to eight fen, filtered to remove dregs, then Mangxiao is added and boiled again before administration. If the pulse is slow and slippery, accompanied by sweating, heavy body, and periodic tidal fever; or if, within two to three days of illness, there are no Taiyang syndrome signs, but rather irritability, epigastric hardness, and delirium following diarrhea, remove Mangxiao; this formula is named Xiao Chengqi Tang (Minor Order the Qi Decoction). If, after sweating, the pathogen remains unresolved, with steaming-hot fever, nausea, chest pain, and loose stools; or after vomiting and diarrhea, with abdominal distension, cold extremities with irritability, and delirium, remove Nongpo and Zhishi, add Gancao (Licorice Root) ban liang and Mangxiao fen, boil and administer; this is named Tiaowei Chengqi Tang (Regulate the Stomach Order the Qi Decoction). If heat binds in the Bladder, presenting as maniacal behavior, bloody stool, and urgency/clumping in the lower abdomen, remove Nongpo and Zhishi, add Taoren (Persicae Semen) twelve kernels, Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig) ban liang, Gancao ban liang, and Mangxiao fen; this is named Taohe Chengqi Tang (Peach Kernel Order the Qi Decoction).
The treated symptoms are generally similar to those of Dachengqi Tang. For mild cases, Chaihu Tang is used; for severe cases, Dachengqi Tang is used.
Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix, si liang) Huangqin (Scutellariae Radix) Chishao Yao (Paeoniae Radix Rubra, each yi liang ban) Banxia (Pinelliae Tuber, blanched to remove slipperiness, yi liang yi fen) Zhishi (Aurantii Fructus Immaturus, bran-fried, fen)
The above ingredients are coarsely powdered. Each dose consists of three da qian, boiled with one and a half zhan of water, five slices of Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger), and one Zao (Jujube Fruit), until reduced to eight fen, filtered to remove dregs, and taken warm after meals. If there is internal heat and interior excess, with body pain indicating that the exterior syndrome is not yet resolved, it must not be taken.
Cold damage affecting the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian presents with chest and hypochondriac pain, deafness, bitter taste in the mouth, throat dryness, alternating chills and fever, vertigo, and dry retching. Its pulse flow is similar to Wind Injury; since Shaoyang governs the Gallbladder and belongs to the Half-Exterior Half-Interior level, it undergoes San Chuan (three-stage transmission).
