It is also said: When two Yang meridians are involved simultaneously (Two-Yang concurrent disease), at the initial stage of the Taiyang disease, diaphoresis was applied, but the sweating was not thorough. Consequently, the pathogen transferred to the Yangming. Subsequently, there is continuous slight sweating and aversion to cold is absent. If the Taiyang syndrome has not yet resolved, purgation must not be used; using purgation in this case is a contraindicated error (Ni). In such situations, mild diaphoresis may be employed. If the patient's face is persistently red, it indicates that Yang Qi is constrained and stagnating at the exterior. It should be treated by resolving the exterior and using fumigation. If diaphoresis was not thorough, it is insufficient to cause Yang Qi to be constrained and unable to vent. If sweating should have been induced but was not, the person will become restless and irritable, unaware of the specific location of pain, which may shift between the abdomen and the four limbs, and cannot be located by palpation. The person experiences shortness of breath and can only sit upright, due to incomplete sweating. Re-inducing diaphoresis will lead to recovery. How do we know the sweating was incomplete? By observing a choppy pulse (Se Mai), we can ascertain this. Pang Anchang stated that Mahuang Tang (Ephedra Decoction) is appropriate. Guo Yong argued that Pang placed this in Yangming due to errors in ancient texts; it should be corrected to its original context.
It is also said: A floating and rapid pulse (Piao Shu Mai) indicates that recovery should occur through diaphoresis. If purgation is mistakenly used, resulting in heavy body sensation and palpitations (Xin Ji), further diaphoresis is contraindicated. Recovery will come when spontaneous sweating occurs. This is because a faint pulse at the Cun position of the Chi pulse (Chi Zhong Mai Wei) indicates interior deficiency. One must wait for the exterior and interior to become solid and for the Body Fluids (Jin Ye) to harmonize naturally, after which spontaneous sweating will occur and the disease will resolve. Chang Qizhi stated that if sweating does not occur, Xiao Chaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) may be given. Guo Yong opined that if there is epigastric palpitations accompanied by irritability, Xiaojianzhong Tang (Minor Construct the Middle Decoction) is suitable. If both exterior and interior are deficient, Guizhi Mahuang Ge Ban Tang (Guizhi and Mahuang Half-Dose Decoction) is suitable. If one were to use Chaihu Tang for harmonization, one should use Chaihu Guizhi Tang (Bupleurum and Cinnamon Twig Decoction) to harmonize Ying and Wei to unblock the Body Fluids. This syndrome results from interior deficiency following mistaken purgation. Therefore, Zhang Zhongjing waits for the Qi to recover and Body Fluids to harmonize spontaneously before sweating occurs, without using medication. This case is not "syndrome without treatment"; the absence of medication is itself the treatment. Chang insisted on harmonization, likely believing his prescription was too strong. Thus, I use a gentle formula to moderate the effect, aiming for balance. Ultimately, if one can endure slightly and wait for natural harmony, following Zhang Zhongjing’s method of no medication is superior.
It is also said: A floating and tight pulse (Piao Jin Mai) typically presents with body pain and should be treated with diaphoresis. However, if the Chi pulse is slow (Chi Zhong Chi), diaphoresis is contraindicated. Why? Because Ying Qi is insufficient and Blood is scant. Guo Yong noted this case is similar to the previous one; Xiaojianzhong Tang is suitable, followed by Chaihu Guizhi Tang. It is better to wait for other syndromes to appear before treating. The previous case was post-purgation, so no other syndromes would emerge, hence no medication. This case is pre-diaphoresis, so other syndromes must emerge; thus, waiting is better. Knowing Blood is scant, one must not immediately use Xiao Chaihu Tang.
It is also said: A floating pulse indicates the disease is at the exterior; diaphoresis is permissible, and Mahuang Tang is suitable.
It is also said: A floating and rapid pulse permits diaphoresis; Mahuang Tang is suitable.
It is also said: A floating and tight pulse: Floating indicates Wind, Tight indicates Cold. Wind injures Wei Qi, Cold injures Ying Qi. Both Ying and Wei are diseased, causing bone and joint discomfort. Diaphoresis is indicated; Mahuang Tang is suitable.
It is also said: Patients who frequently sweat spontaneously have harmonious Ying Qi. However, the exterior is disharmonious because Wei Qi does not harmonize with Ying Qi. Ying Qi moves within the vessels, while Wei Qi moves outside. Inducing diaphoresis again will harmonize Ying and Wei, leading to recovery; Guizhi Tang is suitable.
Question: If Ying Qi is harmonious, why is there spontaneous sweating? Guo Yong answered: In healthy individuals, Ying and Wei Qi are constantly harmonious. If Wei Qi is attacked by Wind but Ying Qi is not attacked by Cold, then Wei Qi has pathogenic factors while Ying Qi does not. The presence of pathogens makes it strong; the absence makes it weak. Due to this strength disparity, Ying Qi cannot harmonize with Wei Qi, leaving Wei Qi without support. Relying on this unrestrained, vigorous Qi, aided by pathogens, the excess overflows the muscle spaces (Xi Gu). Since Ying is deep and Wei is superficial, Wei Qi in the skin cannot merge internally with Ying and instead leaks out through pores, causing spontaneous sweating. Using Guizhi to resolve the muscle-level exterior allows the pathogenic factor in Wei Qi to depart. Without pathogens, the excessive Qi subsides, naturally returning internally to harmonize with Ying, stopping the sweating.
Zhang Zhongjing said: If a patient has no internal organ diseases but suffers from periodic fever and spontaneous sweating that does not resolve, this is disharmony of Wei Qi. Inducing diaphoresis prior to the onset of symptoms will lead to recovery; Guizhi Tang is the primary treatment.
It is also said: In Shanghan with a floating and tight pulse, if diaphoresis is not performed and nasal bleeding (Nu) ensues, Mahuang Tang is the primary treatment.
It is also said: In Shanghan, if there is constipation for six or seven days, headache, and fever, Chengqi Tang may be given. If urination is clear, the disease is not in the interior but remains in the exterior; Chengqi Tang should not be given. Diaphoresis is required. If there is headache, nasal bleeding will likely occur; Guizhi Tang is suitable. Chang Qizhi suggested this might be an error. If diaphoresis is needed, Mahuang Tang should be used. Otherwise, Guizhi Mahuang Ge Ban Tang can be used to induce slight sweating. Guo Yong stated that in Zhang Zhongjing’s texts, Guizhi Tang has no protocol for treating nasal bleeding, whereas Mahuang Tang does. Thus, Chang suspected an error and switched to Mahuang. However, if there is no headache, there will be no nasal bleeding; if no bleeding, Mahuang Tang is contraindicated. Therefore, Guizhi Mahuang Ge Ban Tang is suitable to induce slight sweating. One must decide based on the presence or absence of sweating. How could there be transcription errors in Zhang Zhongjing’s book?
It is also said: After Shanghan diaphoresis resolves, if restlessness returns after half a day and the pulse is floating and rapid, diaphoresis may be repeated; Guizhi Tang is the primary treatment. Guo Yong noted the phrase "half a day" is crucial; if restlessness returns after this period, it constitutes relapse due to exertion (Lao Fu), and Guizhi Tang is not used.
It is also said: For any disease, whether treated with diaphoresis, emesis, or severe purgation, or resulting in loss of Blood or Body Fluids, if Yin and Yang can self-harmonize, the disease will surely resolve spontaneously. Guo Yong clarified that "any disease" includes non-Shanghan conditions. If Shanghan has not harmonized, wait for harmony or use Chaihu Guizhi Tang in small doses; Xiao Chaihu Tang is not necessary.
It is also said: After severe purgation followed by diaphoresis, if urination is difficult, it is due to loss of Body Fluids. Do not treat it directly; once urination becomes normal, the condition will resolve spontaneously. Guo Yong added that one should not use drugs to promote urination; waiting for natural patency leads to recovery.
It is also said: Following purgation and subsequent diaphoresis, chills and a faint, thin pulse may occur. This is due to deficiency in both interior and exterior. Chang stated that for patients without heat signs, Shaoyao Fuzi Tang (Peony and Aconite Decoction) may be given. For those with heat signs, Huangqi Jianzhong Tang (Astragalus Construct the Middle Decoction) may be given.
It is also said: After purgation and diaphoresis, if the patient is irritable and cannot sleep during the day but is quiet at night, without vomiting, thirst, or exterior signs, and with a sinking, faint pulse and no significant fever, Ganjiang Fuzi Tang (Dried Ginger and Aconite Decoction) is the primary treatment.
It is also said: After diaphoresis, if body pain persists with a sinking, slow pulse, Guizhi Jia Shaoyao Shengjiang Ge Yi Ren Shen San Liang Xinjia Tang (Newly Added Decoction with Added Peony and Fresh Ginger and Three Taels of Ginseng to Guizhi Decoction) is the primary treatment.
It is also said: After diaphoresis, Guizhi Tang must not be used again. If there is sweating, wheezing, and no high fever, Mahuang Xingzhi Gancao Shigao Tang (Ephedra, Apricot Kernel, Licorice, and Gypsum Decoction) is the primary treatment.
It is also said: After diaphoresis, if palpitations occur below the umbilicus, indicating impending Ben Tun (Rushing Pig) syndrome, Fuling Guizhi Gancao Dazao Tang (Poria, Cinnamon Twig, Licorice, and Jujube Decoction) is the primary treatment.
It is also said: If excessive diaphoresis causes the patient to cross hands over the heart region, experiencing palpitations and a desire for pressure, Guizhi Gancao Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Licorice Decoction) is the primary treatment.
It is also said: After diaphoresis, if abdominal fullness occurs, Nongpo Shengjiang Banxia Gancao Renshen Tang (Magnolia Bark, Fresh Ginger, Pinellia, Licorice, and Ginseng Decoction) is the primary treatment.
It is also said: In Shanghan, after emesis or purgation, if there is epigastric fullness and rebellious Qi rushing to the chest, dizziness upon standing, and a sinking, tight pulse, further diaphoresis will disturb the collaterals, causing tremors and swaying. Fuling Guizhi Baizhu Gancao Tang (Poria, Cinnamon Twig, Atractylodes Macrocephala, and Licorice Decoction) is the primary treatment.
It is also said: If after diaphoresis the disease does not resolve and aversion to cold appears, it indicates deficiency; Shaoyao Gancao Fuzi Tang (Peony, Licorice, and Aconite Decoction) is the primary treatment.
It is also said: If after diaphoresis or purgation the disease persists with irritability, Fuling Sini Tang (Poria and Four Reversal Decoction) is the primary treatment.
It is also said: After diaphoresis, aversion to cold indicates deficiency. Absence of aversion to cold with only fever indicates excess. One should harmonize Stomach Qi by giving Tiaowei Chengqi Tang (Regulate the Intestines and Order the Bowels Chengqi Decoction). Guo Yong noted that for deficiency, Shaoyao Gancao Fuzi Tang is used.
It is also said: In Taiyang disease, after diaphoresis with excessive sweating, if the Stomach becomes dry, causing irritability and insomnia, and the patient desires water, give small sips of water until Stomach Qi harmonizes and recovery occurs. If the pulse is floating, urination is difficult, and there is slight fever with polydipsia, Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria) is the primary treatment.
It is also said: After diaphoresis, if the pulse is floating and rapid with irritability and thirst, Wuling San is the primary treatment.
It is also said: In Shanghan with sweating and thirst, Wuling San is the primary treatment. If there is no thirst, Fuling Gancao Tang (Poria and Licorice Decoction) is the primary treatment.
It is also said: In Fengzhong (Wind Strike) with fever persisting for six or seven days without resolution, accompanied by irritability, exterior and interior signs, thirst for water, and vomiting after drinking (Shui Ni/Water Revulsion), Wuling San is the primary treatment.
It is also said: Before taking the pulse, if the patient crosses hands over the heart, and upon instruction to cough does not cough, this indicates bilateral deafness. This results from heavy diaphoresis causing deficiency. Chang stated that for patients without heat signs, Shaoyao Fuzi Tang may be given. For those with heat signs, Huangqi Jianzhong Tang may be given.
It is also said: After diaphoresis, excessive drinking may cause wheezing. Washing the body with cold water may also cause wheezing. It is commonly stated that Mahuang Xingzhi Gancao Shigao Tang may be given.
It is also said: After diaphoresis, if water and medicine cannot be retained, it is a adverse reaction. Further diaphoresis will cause incessant vomiting and diarrhea. It is commonly stated that Banxia Fuling Tang (Pinellia and Poria Decoction) may be given.
It is also said: After diaphoresis, emesis, or purgation, if there is empty irritability and insomnia, or severe cases with tossing and turning and mental anguish (Ao Nan), Zhizi Chi Tang (Gardenia and Fermented Soybean Decoction) is the primary treatment. If Qi is deficient, Zhizi Gancao Chi Tang is used. If vomiting occurs, Zhizi Shengjiang Chi Tang is used.
It is also said: After diaphoresis or purgation, if there is irritability, heat, and chest oppression, Zhizi Chi Tang is the primary treatment.
It is also said: In Shanghan on the fifth or sixth day, after severe purgation, if fever persists and there is painful knotting in the heart, the disease has not resolved. Zhizi Chi Tang is the primary treatment.
It is also said: After purgation in Shanghan, if there is irritability, abdominal fullness, and restlessness day and night, Zhizi Houpo Tang (Gardenia and Magnolia Bark Decoction) is the primary treatment.
It is also said: When using Zhizi Tang formulas, if the patient has a history of loose stools, they must not be administered.
It is also said: After Taiyang diaphoresis, if the disease does not resolve, fever persists, palpitations occur, dizziness is present, and the body trembles violently as if falling, Zhenwu Tang (True Warrior Decoction) is the primary treatment.
It is also said: If the throat is dry, diaphoresis is contraindicated. Chang stated that Xiao Chaihu Tang may be given.
It is also said: For patients with sores (Chuang Jia), even if there is body pain, diaphoresis is contraindicated. Sweating will cause spasms. Chang stated that Xiao Chaihu Tang may be given.
It is also said: For patients with strangury (Lin Jia), diaphoresis is contraindicated. Sweating will cause hematuria.
It is also said: For patients with frequent nasal bleeding (Nu Jia), diaphoresis is contraindicated. Sweating will cause depression of the temporal arteries, tight and rapid pulse, fixed gaze, inability to blink, and insomnia. Chang stated that Xijiao Dihuang Tang (Rhino Horn and Rehmannia Decoction) may be given.
It is also said: For patients with blood loss (Wang Xue Jia), diaphoresis is contraindicated. Sweating will cause chills and trembling. Chang stated that Shaoyao Dihuang Tang may be given.
It is also said: For persons who sweat excessively, re-inducing diaphoresis will cause mental confusion and palpitations, along with pain in the genitalia after urination. Yuyuli Wan (Hematit Pill) is given. The formula is missing. Chang stated that Hematit alone, calcined and powdered, may be taken. Guo Yong clarified that Hematit refers to the mineral, not the shell.
It is also said: If a patient with cold signs undergoes diaphoresis, the Stomach becomes cold, leading to expulsion of roundworms. Chang stated that Wu Mei Wan (Mume Pill) may be taken. Guo Yong opined that Lizhong Wan (Regulate the Middle Pill) is suitable.
It is also said: If diaphoresis should have been performed first but purgation was used instead, this is an error. If diaphoresis is performed first, the treatment is not erroneous. If purgation should have been performed first but diaphoresis was used instead, this is an error. If purgation is performed first, the treatment is not erroneous. Guo Yong explained: This is an error because the disease required diaphoresis first, but purgation was used. If diaphoresis was already done and then purgation, it is not an error. Or if purgation was required first but diaphoresis was used, it is an error. If purgation was already done and then diaphoresis, it is not an error. For example, in Taiyang syndrome, diaphoresis is indicated; using purgation is an error. In Shaoyin syndrome, purgation is indicated; using diaphoresis is an error. Both are erroneous treatments.
