自汗，大忌生姜，以其开腠理故也。

(Attached: Facial Heat and Facial Cold)
Yang deficiency leads to aversion to cold. Use herbs such as Renshen (Radix Ginseng); in severe cases, add a small amount of Fuzi (Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata) to promote the Qi-moving action of Renshen. A woman suffering from aversion to cold was treated with Kushen (Cortex Phellodendri), one qian ground into powder, mixed with vinegar water for oral administration. After inducing vomiting, she was given a mixture of Chuanxiong (Rhizoma Chuanxiong), Nanting (Rhizoma Arisaematis), Cangzhu (Rhizoma Atractylodis Chinensis), and Huangqin (Radix Scutellariae) stir-fried with wine, ground into powder, and taken with warm water. In winter, the dosage of Huangqin is halved, mixed with ginger juice, and formed into pills using a paste made from fermented grain. For Xu Lao (Consumptive Disease), if aversion to cold is severe in winter, patients with excess Qi may benefit from purgatives, but exterior-releasing methods are also appropriate, using Chaihu (Radix Bupleuri) and Gange (Radix Puerariae). For chronic aversion to cold, methods to resolve depression are also employed.
Dai Yuanli stated: When there is severe aversion to cold in the back, accompanied by a floating, large, and forceless pulse, this indicates Yang deficiency.
Facial heat rising like fire is due to cold stagnation generating heat; facial cold resulting from the retreat of heat indicates stomach heat.
[Appendix] The *Neijing* states: Facial heat is a disease of the Hand-Yangming Large Intestine Meridian. When the Qi of the Yangming meridian is excessive, the anterior part of the body becomes hot. This meridian is rich in blood and Qi; wind-heat ascends, and all Yang meridians converge at the head, hence facial heat. First, use Chengqi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction) added with Huanglian (Rhizoma Coptidis) and Xijiao (Cornu Rhinocerotis) to clear the root heat; subsequently, use Shengma...

Zihan (Spontaneous Sweating) belongs to Qi deficiency, Blood deficiency, Dampness, Yang deficiency, and Phlegm. Li Dongyuan had methods and formulas: use Renshen (Radix Ginseng) and Huangqi (Radix Astragali), with a small addition of Guizhi (Ramulus Cinnamomi).
If Yin deficiency, Fuzi (Radix Aconiti Lateralis Preparata) can be used in small amounts, but must be boiled in urine. Fire Qi steaming upward from dampness in the stomach can also cause sweating; the primary formula is Liangge San (Cool the Diaphragm Powder). Phlegm syndromes also involve sweating.
For spontaneous sweating, Ginger (Shengjiang) is strictly contraindicated because it opens the Couli (pores).
[Appendix] Someone asked: Are Dampness and Sweat Yin or Yang? The answer is: The southwest corresponds to Kun Earth, which in the human body corresponds to the Spleen and Stomach. Human sweat is like rain between heaven and earth. Yin nourishing dampness becomes dew; dew accumulates to become rain. Yin-dampness descends, representing Earth Qi. Excessive sweating leads to loss of Yang; when Yang departs, Yin prevails. Severe cases lead to Cold in the Middle. Dampness prevailing causes the voice to sound as if coming from an urn, indicating obstruction and lack of flow, clarifying the diagnosis of Dampness. The *Neijing* says: "External cold," although internal heat is seen with steaming sweat, it ultimately transmits to Great Cold, knowing that it began as Internal Heat. Exterior deficiency with loss of Yang cannot withstand external cold, ultimately transmitting to Cold in the Middle, forming Bi syndrome and Cold patterns. Complexion observes Heaven's changes; pulse observes Earth's changes. Form is used to observe the Yin and Yang of Earth, so pulse and climate observations reveal both form and formless manifestations. It also says: "What the Heart stores internally is Blood; what emerges externally is Sweat." Sweat is the fluid of the Heart. Spontaneous sweating syndromes invariably result from dual deficiency of Heart and Kidney. Thus, Yin deficiency leads to Yang encroachment, causing fever and spontaneous sweating; Yang deficiency leads to Yin invasion, causing syncope and spontaneous sweating. Therefore, Yin and Yang imbalance...
