Jaundice in Shanghan (Cold Damage) occurs only in the Yangming and Taiyin meridians. In Yangming disease, sweating should be generalized over the whole body; however, now there is only sweating on the head, and urination is difficult. With vexation and irritability in the chest and epigastrium (Xin Zhong Ao Nao), jaundice will inevitably develop because heat and blood stasis are trapped inside, with no outlet for release from within or without. After inducing sweating, if the body and eyes become yellow, it is due to excessive sweating of a dampness-pattern patient; the wind pathogen has left, but the dampness remains. After inducing sweating, if the condition shifts to Taiyin disease, jaundice should appear because of difficulty in urination; dampness and earth qi are steamed by heat, causing the yellow color to manifest externally. If urination is spontaneous and normal, but the lower abdomen is hard and full, this is jaundice caused by blood stasis.
Shao's Commentary: Distinguishing between jaundice caused by blood stasis and that caused by damp-heat based on whether urination is free or obstructed is correct. However, jaundice caused by bile entering the blood (Dan Huang) requires additional discussion regarding its symptoms and treatment. Regarding treatment methods: Yangming jaundice results from heat transferring from the Stomach to the Spleen; both stool and urine must be constipated/obstructed, so Yinchen Hao Tang (Artemisiae Scopariae Decoction) is indicated. Taiyin jaundice results from damp-heat in the Spleen; urination must be difficult, while stool tends to be loose, so Yinchen Wuling San (Artemisiae Scopariae and Five-Ingredient Poria Powder) is indicated.
Shao's Commentary: Jaundice varies in terms of damp-heat affecting the Taiyin and Yangming meridians, presenting as excess or deficiency patterns. If jaundice presents with obstruction of both stool and urine, it indicates Yangming Stomach excess, where heat transfers to the Spleen; thus, purgative therapy is appropriate. If jaundice presents with difficult urination and loose stool, it indicates Taiyin Spleen dampness steaming into heat; thus, clearing and draining therapy is appropriate.
If jaundice presents with sweating followed by cold limbs and a deep, slow pulse, it is Yin Jaundice (Yin Huang); Yinchen Wuling San plus Ganjiang (Dried Ginger) is indicated (referencing *Zhun Sheng*).
Shao's Commentary: Cold-damp stagnation leads to Yin Jaundice, so warming and unblocking therapy is appropriate. If accompanied by Yang deficiency, Yinchen Sini Tang (Artemisiae Scopariae and Four-Ingredient Reversal Decoction) can be used.
*Yizong Jinjian* states: For exterior excess with no sweating and jaundice, Mahuang Lianqiao Chixiaodou Tang (Ephedra, Forsythia, and Red Bean Decoction) should be used to induce sweating. For interior excess with constipation, Yinchen Hao Tang should be used to purge. For severe heat without exterior or interior signs, Zhizi Bopi Tang (Gardeniae and Phellodendri Bark Decoction) should be used to clear heat. For loose stool, difficult urination, and jaundice, Yinchen Wuling San should be used to promote diuresis. For Yin syndrome jaundice, Yinchen Sini Tang should be used to warm. Blackening around the mouth with cold sweat indicates a fatal case of Yin Jaundice. A dry, rough body resembling soot indicates a fatal case of Yang Jaundice.
Shao's Commentary: There are five treatment methods for jaundice: sweating, purging, clearing, draining, and warming. The methods for treating jaundice do not exceed these principles. Yin Jaundice leading to the exhaustion of Yang, and Yang Jaundice leading to the depletion of Yin, are both fatal conditions.
