Tongue color is white and dull, pulse is large on the right side, irregular in onset and termination, small and rapid on the left side. Accompanied by deafness, fever, insomnia, and slurred speech. This is not Shaoyang Cold Damage (Shaoyang syndrome caused by cold pathogen), but indeed due to miscarriage. Yin Qi cannot recover, empty Qi rises and冒 (assaults) the head, there is fear of convulsions and sudden syncope. Do not regard it as a mild condition.

Second visit
Remove Bai Shao from the previous prescription, add Yuan Shen (Scrophulariae Radix) and Ling Yang Jiao (Capricornu Saigae Tataricae).
Spermatorrhea exits via the spermatic orifice, strangury exits via the urinary orifice. They emerge from the same gate but follow different paths; they must be distinguished carefully. Long-term spermatorrhea that does not heal indicates deficiency due to failure of the essence gate to secure. If there is only slight pain and itching, with fullness and distension in the lower abdomen and bladder, leading to hardness and fullness, this is the indication for Wu Ling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria).
Summer heat caused bleeding in autumn, recurring in early spring. The pulse is large on the right, yet food intake is maintained. The *Jin Gui Yao Lue* states: "In men, a large pulse indicates Lao (exhaustion/chronic depletion); an extremely deficient pulse also indicates Lao." One must understand that a large pulse as Lao is due to fatigue injuring Qi; a deficient pulse as Lao is due to sexual excess causing damage. Quiet rest for one year can lead to recovery.

Cough is treated from the Lung because external pathogens enter via the skin and hair and internally connect with the Lung. However, the Six Evils all transform into Fire; after dispersing, if unresolved, clearing and moistening will bring cure. If the cough is due to internal causes, involving other meridians affecting the Lung, the root cause must be identified; treating only the Lung is of no benefit. The Kidney is the root of pre-heaven, containing the True Yang of Kan, which is stored internally and governs, sealing and storing the Extraordinary Vessels. Chong Yang rises straight from here. Moreover, the Shaoyin meridian circulates along the throat and flanks the base of the tongue. If Yin fluids fail to ascend, Yang burns alone. Thus, Yin ascending and Yang descending leads to longevity; the reverse leads to death. Ba Wei Wan (Eight-Ingredient Pill) represents Yang within Yin, which seems reasonable. However, if flesh wastes and the form emaciates, Gui Zhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) and Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata) are still too acrid and drying. It is appropriate to use Qing Yan (Halitum) to guide the medicine to the Lower Yuan (Lower Origin); this is the correct method.

Living near the sea, wind, miasma, and pestilential Qi invade the brain marrow and bone joints. Qi and Blood are disharmonious, obstructed and steaming internally. Clear Yang of the head and face is bi-blocked. Over time, pathogenic factors and healthy Qi mix together, and herbal medicines cannot take effect. Insect and ant species should be used to unblock and expel pathogens.
Qiang Lang (Scarabaeus) | Feng Fang (Vespa Nidus) | Chuan Xiong (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma) | Wei Ling Xian (Clematidis Radix et Rhizoma)
Made into pills using rice wine and flour.
From yellow eyes and mental fatigue in summer, gradually progressing to middle Jiao distension, extending until Frost's Descent, vomiting blood clots upwards, and passing turbid matter downwards. The pulse is weak, fine, and irregular. The complexion lacks luster. Breathing is accompanied by wheezing. There is a history of cold disease and Qi rebellion. The accumulation of retained fluid has been present for a long time. During the three months of summer, when the Spleen and Stomach govern, the weather is hot, earth Qi ascends, and human Qi leaks out. Added to irregular eating and labor, this leads to reduced appetite and distension. All these diseases originate in the middle and spread up and down. The Six Fu organs function through unblocking; promoting circulation is their method, but there are differences between Yin and Yang. Later methods of attacking and purging, such as Shen You, Zhou Che, and Yu Gong formulas, dare not be lightly tried in such prolonged and lingering illness. We propose specifically unblocking the Yang Qi of the Triple Burner to drive out the entrenched turbid Yin. Warming and tonifying are advanced together. Unless Yang Qi gradually revives, it is difficult to prescribe medication. Referencing Zhang Zhongjing's method, add Cong Bai (Allii Fistulosi Bulbus, 4 pieces), Gan Jiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, sliced, soaked in salt water over twenty times to remove pungency, 3 qian), Zhu Dan Ye (Porci Bile, 10 spoons), and Dan Fu Zi (Aconiti Lateralis Radix Preparata, peeled and de-navelled, wrapped and fire-roasted, 1 qian).
Second visit. Pulse and spirit remain as yesterday. Chest fullness and distension are more urgent. No desire to eat. Nose tip is very cold. Hot sweat flows. Self-vomiting of blood clots and filth. Spirit is now exhausted. Ancients said: when upper and lower mutually drain, regulate the middle. But with Yang deficiency and turbid rebellion, blocking and failing to communicate, Li Zhong Wan (Regulate the Middle Pill) as a standing formula cannot manage complex and severe conditions. This approach protects Yang and unblocks Yang, still incorporating bitter-cold herbs, so that for every point of turbid Yin discharged, one point of Yang is restored. The principle of nourishing the stomach lies herein; details are omitted.
Remove Cong Bai from the previous prescription, add Ren Shen (Panax Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) 3 qian.
Previous use of generating fluids and nourishing Yin has stopped the cough and reduced fever, allowing gradual improvement. Unexpectedly, fever became more severe, lasting three days and nights without abatement. Thirsty with no appetite. Likely due to weak constitution and loose muscle texture, pathogens easily invade. Depressed and unvented, steaming like burning fire. The constitution is Metal Deficiency with Fire Prosperity. Now encountering intense heat, Ministerial Fire fans the wind, summer heat invades externally, mutually scorching fluids, inevitably leading to boiling and desiccation. Wanting to use bitter-cold herbs, but the deficient fire cannot bear direct suppression, and there is concern about damaging Stomach Qi. We propose using Hai Zang Shen Shu Fa (Hai Zang's Divine Skill Method), resolving the Three Yang above, calming the Taiyin below.
Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) | Li Zhi (Pyrus Sinensis Fruit Juice) | Fang Feng (Saposhnikoviae Radix) | Mai Dong (Ophiopogonis Radix) | Gan Cao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma)
Wine drinkers suffering from strangury and turbidity must have damp-heat pathogens attaching to the Qi level. Therefore, Wu Ling San and Ba Zheng San both use draining and promoting methods. Illness persisting for years without healing must be due to sexual excess causing ruined essence and blood obstruction in the inner orifices. Urine and semen follow different paths from the same gate. Obstruction in the penis is mostly due to rotten essence. Unblocking ruined essence is an absolute principle.
Tu Niu Xi (Achyranthis Bidentatae Radix) 1.5 liang. Crushed for juice, mixed with She Xiang (Moschus) 3 fen.
The retention and eruption of Phlegm-Fluids are detailed extensively. *Jin Gui* and *Yu Han*, Zhang Zhongjing, definitely distinguish internal and external. Internal fluids are treated via the Kidney; external fluids are treated via the Spleen.
Alternatively, Du Qi Wan (Nine-Ingredient Pill) is added with Kan Qi (Umbilical Cord) and Hu Tao (Juglans Regia Seed).
Menstruation comes gradually later, color is pale and scanty. During the period, it must be at night. Abdominal pain and distension. Waist and thighs are sore. Meridions pulling relieve slightly. Pulse is rapid. Right is small, Left is large and overflowing. Medication must select those entering the Extraordinary Vessels. The Sea of Blood belongs to the Yangming, subordinate to the Extraordinary Vessels, Liver and Kidney are predominant. We propose a formula to harmonize Qi and Blood and unblock the Extraordinary Meridians.

Mix in Xi Hu Po (Electrum) powder 1 qian.
Facial swelling and asthma, incessant coughing and wheezing. Voice gradually hoarse. Damp-heat accumulated long-term by wine drinkers must steam upwards to the Lung, causing swelling and asthma, blocking the voice. According to *Nei Jing*: "When dampness dominates internally, treat with bland leaching, assist with bitter-warm."

Cold enters the Jueyin meridian, knotting into Qi Hernia. Pain causes swelling to rise and Qi to dissipate, leaving no trace. The Lower Yuan of the elderly is already deficient. Breaking Qi to attack hernia is contraindicated. If urethral pain or urinary obstruction occurs, warm and nourish the Lower Yuan, assisting with unblocking orifices.

Liver and Kidney Essence and Blood are jointly deficient. Yang Qi refuses to hide. Yang rises causing facial redness (Floating Yang), Yang sinks causing insecure essence gate. Seasonally, winter fails to store. Yang generation and movement worsen the disease. Stay quietly in the mountains, do not engage in household affairs. Welcome the return of Yin at Summer Solstice; there will surely be good news. If refusing medicine and managing emotions, it is of no benefit to the body's illness.
Water-processed Shu Di Huang (Rehmanniae Radix Preparata) | Suo Yang (Cynomorii Herba) | Yuan Wu Ban (Testudinis Carapax et Plastrum) | Fu Ling (Poria) | Xian Yu Jiao (Hydrophilus Colla) | Yuan Zhi Tan (Polygalae Radix Carbonized)
Old masses in the hypochondrium are similar to Fei Qi (Fat Qi). Self-reported due to anger, covering Liver accumulation. Long-term depression of Qi and Blood leads to blockage. The Liver stores Ministerial Fire. When summer season brings humid rain, the Spleen and Stomach receive dampness, inevitably becoming fatigued. Liver Wood overacts on Spleen Earth. Distension is extreme. The received damp pathogen has no outlet, steaming into the intestines and stomach, causing sticky pus and stagnation. Bowel movements are not smooth. Middle Jiao is disharmonious, unable to rest even when awake. The condition is difficult to treat. We propose separating and eliminating.
Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) | Hou Po (Magnoliae Officinalis Cortex) | Fu Ling (Poria) | Zhu Ling (Polyporus) | Yin Chen (Artemisiae Scopariae Herba) | Tong Cao (Tetrapanacis Medulla)
During pregnancy, malaria occurs. Ancients first protect the fetus, assisting with treating the disease. Current diagnosis shows dry teeth and white tongue, vomiting, stuffiness, and spontaneous diarrhea. This is latent pathogen from summer heat, erupting in late autumn. It cannot be stopped by Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix) or Zhi Ke (Aurantii Fructus). Vomiting black water, abdominal pain, fetal movement is absent. Pathogen has sunk inward, steaming and forcing the Zang-Fu. This is a critical danger sign.
Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix) | Huang Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma) | Huang Bo (Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex) | Qin Pi (Fraxini Cortex) | Chuan Bei Mu (Fritillariae Cirrhosae Bulbus)
Second visit. Less chills, more fever, which refers to alternating cold and heat. Severe heat attacks the fetus, causing heart pain. The fetus is in the Chong Mai (Penetrating Vessel). Malaria pathogen moves from the extremities towards the Stomach. The Chong Mai and Yangming Stomach meridian govern. Upward vomiting of green-black saliva. The fetus is forced by pathogen, attacking upwards to the heart. Always, pathogenic heat has no way to vent, sinking inward endlessly, inevitably leading to abortion. Furthermore, heat-collateral spontaneous diarrhea, external pathogen exits from inside. There is a warning of "not dying until exhaustion." Formulas for protecting the fetus must solidify Yin and boost Qi. Now, with blazing heat and congestion, Ren Shen (Panax Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma) and Ejiao (Colla Corii Asini) instead provide a banner for the heat pathogen. Previously, pure bitter-cold was used urgently to secure the Upper Jiao Yangming Stomach and Jueyin Liver. Now, sour-bitter-acrid methods are used to drain heat from both meridians. Externally, well mud is used to protect the fetus.
Chuan Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma) | Jue Ming Zi (Cassiae Semen) | Wu Mei Rou (Mume Fructus) | Shi Lian Rou (Nelumbinis Plumula) | Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix) | Bai Shao (Paeoniae Radix Alba) | Chuan Chuan Jiao (Zanthoxyli Pericarpium Stir-fried)
Third visit. Bitter, sour, acrid, and clear methods drain Yangming and Jueyin pathogenic heat, combined with external fetal protection. Disease reduced by two-tenths. Tongue coating shows thorns, center is dry and stiff, heart pain persists. All this is due to heat pathogen pressing inward, Yang fluids and Yin liquids are exhausted. Two days ago, feared sinking and closure by cold. Today, fear coma and convulsions. Hardest to treat. Protecting the fetus and preserving Yin, clearing and removing pathogen, both are indispensable.
E Jiao (Colla Corii Asini) | Xian Sheng Di (Rehmanniae Radix Recens) | Chuan Lian (Coptidis Rhizoma) | Ji Zi Huang (Galli Ovi Yolk) | Zhi Mu (Anemarrhenae Rhizoma)
Rain soaking injures Chong Yang. Hot bath forces cold-damp deep inside. Steaming with grain and water Qi, muscles turn yellow. Chen Wuzhe says: Gu Dan (Grice Jaundice).

Classic says: Planning lies in the Liver, decision-making in the Gallbladder. Managing thoughts and worries, the Yang Qi of the Five Emotions rises but does not descend. The Liver meridian circulates, surrounding the genitalia. Qi rebels and disrupts. Cannot control the power of dispersion and drainage. Symptoms resemble hernia and strangury. Actually, it internally relates to the Liver. Treating strangury and hernia does not exceed He Zi's acrid-aromatic Qi-moving, nor Dan Xi's separating and eliminating heat. Now, form and pulse are already depleted, discuss as deficiency. Three methods for Liver disease: Acrid, Sour, and Sweet-Slowing. Classic says: Eating sour causes strangury (urinary difficulty). Urine is not smooth. Greatly avoid sour flavors.
Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) | Hui Xiang (Foeniculi Fructus) | Chuan Shan Jia (Manis Squama) | Gou Qi Zi (Lycii Fructus) | Sha Ji Li (Tribuli Fructus)
Whenever there is moving Qi at the navel, nodules in the umbilical abdomen, muscle twitching, dizziness, and photophobia. Ancient sages all attribute it to deficiency of Essence and Blood in the Lower Jiao. If the two Qi cannot be grasped and accepted, Fire and Wind become chaotic, resembling confusion. Draining Qi with warm-dry attacking disease is making deficiency more deficient. Warming and nourishing sentient substances is appropriate.
Zi He Che (Placenta Humana) | Rou Cong Rong (Cistanches Herba) | Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix) | Qing Yan (Halitum) | Fu Ling (Poria) | Hu Tao (Juglans Regia Seed) | Huang Bo (Phellodendri Chinensis Cortex) | Xiao Hui Xiang (Foeniculi Fructus) | Bai Zi Ren (Biota Semen) | Zi Shi Ying (Hematitum)
Summer wind entering the Lung causes Dan Malaria (Febrile Malaria). *Jin Gui* calls it independent emission of Yang Qi. Jia Yan says: Body's Yin fluids are originally deficient. The latent heat, mixed into the Blood level over a long time. Yin deficiency, Yang floating. Clear Qi of the Upper Jiao is all covered. Stomach Yang loses harmony, easy to become stagnant if not accepting food. Ultimately, latent pathogen is not gone. Bitter-acrid dispersion and drainage are all prohibited. Upper excess and Lower deficiency, with guest pathogen lingering. Sedation and descent do not respond. Imitating Xu Zhi Cai's example that "light can remove excess," differentiate Qi and Blood, disperse them, drive them away.
Xi Jiao (Rhinocerotis Cornu - Note: Substitute with Niuxi Horn or Water Buffalo Horn in modern practice, here translated literally as per text) | Lian Qiao (Forsythiae Fructus) | Yuan Shen (Scrophulariae Radix) | Tong Cao (Tetrapanacis Medulla) | Zhu Ye (Bambusae Folium) | He Ye (Nelumbinis Folium)
Ten years ago, miscarriage and blood collapse, injury not recovered. Managing household affairs, form and spirit could not be quiet. Last year entering Autumn, leukorrhea and strangury/turbidity. Not only Lipid fluids exhausted, but Extraordinary Vessels and collaterals also have no blood remaining. Qi rushes invading Stomach, epigastric and diaphragm stabbing pain. Hypochondrium protrudes high. Plus Lower Jiao cold, waist feels bound like a belt. Both feet numb, weak when stepping on ground. Urination and defecation blocked and unsmooth. Five fluids dried up. Extreme Yang does not connect with Yin. Seeing pain and using Chen Xiang (Aquilariae Lignum Resinatum) is a major error. Whenever Blood is withered, strongly avoid acrid-dry. Temporarily use fleshy substances combined with Ren Shen (Panax Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma). If Spring warmth arrives, herbs borrow it to grow.

Studying ancient Hai Zang and Ke Jiu generations, all followed this system. Internal damage to Essence and Blood must abstain from desire and rest quietly, allowing increased meals to strengthen Stomach. This is called "Essence is born from Grain." Moreover, long-term Liver and Kidney injury involves the Eight Extraordinary Vessels. Yin injury gradually dries and affects Yang. How can a single net capture it?
A maiden suddenly experiences confused spirit and mind, then menstruation stops. This is exactly what *Nei Jing* says: "Diseases of Er Yang (Stomach and Large Intestine) arise from Heart and Spleen." Because Qi rebels and Blood stasis, meridians and collaterals become chaotic. Day by day adding depression and blockage, how can one be wise? Clear and open feelings. Pathogenic herbs and medicines are all insentient, so they are not easy to achieve success. Propose clearing Heart orifices above to unblock Spirit, regulating Extraordinary Vessels below to unblock menstruation.
