(With numbness of the ten fingers of hands and feet)
Jue (Cold Extremities), meaning reversal, refers to coldness in the hands and feet caused by the reversal of Qi and Blood flow. The pathogenesis is primarily due to Qi deficiency, but it can also be caused by Blood deficiency. In Qi deficiency, the pulse is fine; in Blood deficiency, the pulse is large. In Re Jue (Heat-induced Cold Extremities), the pulse is rapid; in exogenous pathogens, the pulse is deep and solid; with phlegm, the pulse is wiry. For cases due to phlegm, use Baizhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma) and Zhuli (Bambusae Caulis in Taenia); for Qi deficiency, use Sijunzi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction); for Blood deficiency, use Siwu Tang (Four Substance Decoction); for Re Jue, use Chengqi Tang (Chengqi Decoction); for exogenous pathogens, use Shuangjie San (Double Release Powder) added with Ginger Juice and Wine. There are Yin Jue and Yang Jue. If Yin declines at the lower part, heat arises; if Yang declines at the lower part, cold arises.
Numbness in the hands and feet belongs to Qi deficiency; a sense of woodenness (loss of sensation) in the hands and feet indicates damp-phlegm or dead blood (stasis); numbness in the ten fingers indicates damp-phlegm and stasis in the Stomach.
[Appendix] Jue means severe, short, or reversed, manifesting as cold extremities. The syndromes are diverse, and records scattered in various medical books are numerous. Here, we briefly summarize the general principles. For example, cold-heat Jue reversal is divided into Yin and Yang Jue. Yang Jue occurs when heat is deep, causing Jue, because extreme Yang generates Jue. It must not be treated as a Yin syndrome using hot medicines, otherwise, the spirit and soul will perish, leading to death. Urgently use Da Chengqi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction) or Xiao Chengqi Tang (Minor Order the Qi Decoction), treating according to the severity. What is called Yin Jue is characterized initially by cold body, deep pulse, cold extremities, curled legs lying down, blue lips and mouth, or spontaneous diarrhea without thirst, and white urine. This is its presentation. Treat with Sini Tang (Sichuan Aconite Root Decoction) or Lizhong Tang (Regulate the Middle Decoction), and rapidly moxa Guanyuan (CV4) for one hundred Zhu (moxa cones). There are also Shi Jue (Corpse Jue), Fei Shi (Flying Corpse), and Cu Jue (Sudden Jue), which are manifestations of Zhong E (sudden poisoning by evil qi). Due to offending improper qi, suddenly the hands and feet become [cold/stiff]. This is Cu Jue Ke Wu (Sudden Jue from Guest Hostility), Fei Shi Gui Ji (Flying Corpse Ghost Strike), visiting mourning, entering temples, climbing tombs, where this disease often occurs. Administer Suhexiang Wan (Styrax Pill). Wait until slightly revived, then use Fuzi Tang? Or add something to Fuzi Tang? Wind striking causes warm body, Qi striking causes cold body; use Bawei Shunqi San (Eight-Ingredient Qi-Regulating Powder) or Tiaoqi San (Qi-Regulating Powder). If there is phlegm, use Siqi Tang (Seven-Word Decoction) or Daotan Tang (Phlegm-Expelling Decoction).
