多是气弱，有火兼痰，宜人参、竹沥之类。切不可作风治，兼用风药。大率与痫病相似，
比痫病为甚为虚，宜带补。广按∶ 病发作则通身而战掉，皆因气虚挟痰火所致，正犹火炎
而旋转也。火能燥物而使气液之不足。世人不谙，误认为风而用风药，风能胜湿，是不足中
而又见损也。
《玉匮密钥》曰∶休治风，休治燥。治了火时，风燥了。夫火为风燥之本，能治其火，
则是散风而润燥，何风燥之有哉！此 症所以宜补气液而兼散痰火也。以四君、二陈、天花

This condition is mostly due to weak qi, accompanied by fire and phlegm-dampness. It is suitable for using Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma (Renshen), Bamboo Sap (Zhuli) and similar substances. One must absolutely not treat it as a wind syndrome nor use wind-dispelling herbs. Generally, it resembles epilepsy (Xian Bing), but is more severe and deficient than epilepsy, so treatment should include tonification. Guang An (Commentary): During attacks, the whole body trembles and shakes; this is caused by qi deficiency carrying phlegm-fire, just like fire burning and rotating. Fire can dry substances, leading to insufficiency of qi and fluids. People of the world do not understand this, mistakenly believing it to be wind and using wind-dispelling drugs. Wind can overcome dampness, which causes further damage to an already insufficient state.
The *Yukui Mi Yu* states: Do not treat wind, do not treat dryness. When you treat the fire, wind and dryness are resolved. Because fire is the root of wind and dryness, treating the fire effectively disperses wind and moistens dryness; what wind and dryness would there be? Therefore, this syndrome is suitable for tonifying qi and fluids while simultaneously dispersing phlegm-fire.
