It is also said: In Yangming disease, if there is fever and profuse sweating, urgent purgation should be employed. Da Cheng Qi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction) is indicated. (Another version suggests Xiao Chai Hu Tang).
It is also said: If sweating fails to resolve the condition and abdominal fullness with pain occurs, urgent purgation should be employed. Da Cheng Qi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction) is indicated.
It is also said: If abdominal fullness does not decrease, or any decrease is negligible, purgation should be employed. Da Cheng Qi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction) is indicated.
It is also said: In combined diseases of Yangming and Shaoyang channels (He Bing), diarrhea will inevitably occur. A pulse that does not show mutual overcoming is a favorable sign; one that shows overcoming is unfavorable. Mutual overcoming and damaging are termed "Fu" (Negative/Overcoming).
It is also said: A slippery and rapid pulse indicates retained food stagnation. Purgation should be employed. Da Cheng Qi Tang (Major Order the Qi Decoction) is indicated. Guo Yong states: This originally connects with the preceding syndrome; it likely refers to combined diseases with a slippery and rapid pulse. Please examine further.
It is also said: If a patient presents with neither exterior nor interior syndromes but has had fever for seven or eight days, even if the pulse is floating and rapid, purgation may be used. Suppose purgation has already been applied, yet the rapid pulse persists. The combination of heat leads to excessive digestion and hunger. If after six or seven days there is no bowel movement, this indicates blood stasis. Di Dang Tang (Resist the Pill) is indicated.
It is also said: If the rapid pulse persists and diarrhea continues unceasingly, pus and blood will inevitably appear in the stool due to heat. Chang Shi states: Bai Tou Weng Tang (Pulsatilla Decoction) can be used. *Qian Jin Fang* (Essential Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold) combines the preceding syndromes into one.
It is also said: After sweating for cold damage, the body and eyes turn yellow. The reason is that cold-dampness remains inside and cannot resolve. It is considered inadvisable to use purgation; instead, treatment should seek methods suitable for cold-dampness. Chang Shi states: Wu Ling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria) can be used.
It is also said: After cold damage for seven or eight days, if the body is yellow like an orange peel, urination is difficult, and there is slight abdominal fullness, Yin Chen Hao Tang (Artemisia Capillaris Decoction) is the primary treatment.
It is also said: In cold damage, if the body is yellow with fever, Zhi Zi Bai Pi Tang (Gardenia and Phellodendron Bark Decoction) is the primary treatment.
It is also said: In cold damage, if stagnant heat is trapped inside, the body will inevitably turn yellow. Ma Huang Lian Qiao Chi Xiao Dou Tang (Ephedra, Forsythia, and Adzuki Bean Decoction) is the primary treatment.
Zhang Zhongjing says: When both the Cun (Inch) and Chi (Cubit) pulses are wiry (Xian), Shaoyang disease is present. It typically manifests on the third or fourth day. The channel traverses the hypochondrium and connects to the ears; therefore, there is pain in the chest and hypochondrium and deafness. When all three Yang channels are affected but have not entered the Fu organs, sweating therapy alone is sufficient.
It is also said: The defining symptoms of Shaoyang disease are bitter taste in the mouth, dry throat, and vertigo/dizziness.
It is also said: In Shaoyang wind-strike, if there is bilateral hearing loss, red eyes, chest fullness, and irritability, emetics and purgatives must not be used. Using them will cause palpitations and fright. Pang Shi states: Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Minor Order the Gallbladder Decoction) can be used. Chang Shi states: For palpitations and fright caused by emesis/purgation, Gui Zhi Qu Shao Yao Jia Long Gu Mu Li Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction without Peony plus Dragon Bone and Oyster Shell) can be used. Guo Yong states: This syndrome should be treated with Chai Hu Jia Long Gu Mu Li Tang (Bupleurum Decoction plus Dragon Bone and Oyster Shell); using Gui Zhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction) alone is incorrect.
It is also said: In cold damage, if the pulse is wiry and thin, accompanied by headache and fever, it belongs to Shaoyang. Shaoyang disease should not be treated with sweating. Sweating will lead to delirious speech (Chan Yu). This then involves the Stomach. If the Stomach harmonizes, recovery occurs; if not, irritability and palpitations ensue. (Another version reads "restlessness"). Pang Shi states: Cases leaning towards Shaoyang should use Tiao Wei Cheng Qi Tang (Regulate the Stomach Major Order the Qi Decoction). This belongs to Shaoyang-Yangming combined disease. Shaoyang requires harmonizing the exterior; pure sweating syndromes are rare. For harmonizing the exterior in Shaoyang, Zhang Zhongjing indicates Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Minor Order the Gallbladder Decoction).
It is also said: If the original Taiyang disease does not resolve and transfers to Shaoyang, presenting with hardness and fullness under the ribs, dry retching, inability to eat, alternating chills and fever, and if no emesis, purgation, or acupuncture has been used, and the pulse is deep and tight, Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Minor Order the Gallbladder Decoction) is given. Pang Shi states: If the pulse is tight, Xiao Chai Hu Tang plus Mu Li (Oyster Shell) is given.
It is also said: If emesis, purgation, or warm needle therapy has already been used, leading to delirious speech, and the Chai Hu syndrome has ceased, this is termed a "Huai Bing" (Ruined/Damaged Disease). One must determine what error was committed and treat according to the law. Pang Shi states: "What error" refers to errors involving four types of warm diseases, resulting in a ruined disease. Guo Yong states: *Qian Jin Fang* combines the preceding cases into one; thus, seeing Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Minor Order the Gallbladder Decoction) at the beginning and end is appropriate. For delirium caused by warm needles, Gui Zhi Gan Cao Long Gu Mu Li Tang (Cinnamon Twig and Licorice Decoction plus Dragon Bone and Oyster Shell) is also indicated.
It is also said: In combined diseases of the three Yang channels, if the pulse is floating and large, prominent above the Guan (Bar) position, and the patient desires sleep, sweating occurring when closing the eyes, Chang Shi states: Chai Hu Gui Zhi Tang (Bupleurum and Cinnamon Twig Decoction) can be used. Pang Shi states: The absence of "wiry" implies it is hidden within the floating and large quality.
It is also said: In cold damage, after six or seven days, if there is no significant external heat but the person is restless and irritable, this indicates the departure of Yang and entry into Yin. Chang Shi states: Ba Shi San (Eight Minerals Powder) and Fu Ling Tang (Poria Decoction) can be used. Pang Shi states: Four to five days or seven to eight days.
It is also said: After three days of cold damage, the pathogenic factors in the three Yang channels are exhausted, and the three Yin channels should receive the pathogen. If the person can eat and does not vomit, this indicates the three Yin channels do not receive the pathogen. Pang Shi states: Once the disease reaches Yin, vomiting and diarrhea must occur.
It is also said: In cold damage, if the Shaoyang pulse becomes small, the disease is about to resolve. Pang Shi states: This means the pulse is small, calm, and uniform.
It is also said: The time when Shaoyang disease tends to resolve is from Yin hour to Chen hour.
