Why does insomnia occur in Shaoyang diseases? Excessive sweating leads to dryness in the Stomach and restlessness. (Zhang Zhongjing stated: In Taiyang disease, after administering diaphoresis, if profuse sweating occurs, it causes dryness in the Stomach, leading to irritability and inability to sleep. The patient desires water; one should provide small amounts of water frequently. Once Ying and Wei Qi harmonize, the condition will resolve.) It may also result from deficiency-heat causing vexation due to improper use of emesis or purgation. (Zhang Zhongjing stated: After diaphoresis, emesis, or purgation, deficiency-vexation leads to insomnia. If severe, the patient tosses and turns with a feeling of stifling discomfort in the chest; Zhi Zi Chi Tang (Gardenia and Fermented Soybean Decoction) is indicated.) It may also stem from high fever disturbing the mind, causing delirious speech. (Yang Du heat diseases typically involve insomnia.)
When urination is difficult accompanied by thirst, vexation, and shortness of breath causing suffering. If sudden fluid retention in the Heart region causes fullness, Zhu Ling Tang (Polyporus Decoction) can ensure recovery. (Zhang Zhongjing stated: For insomnia caused by Stomach dryness, Zhu Ling Tang is used.) After the resolution of Cold Damage, residual heat remains; this is due to Yang Qi prevailing while Yin has not yet recovered. (The *Bing Yuan* states: Wei Qi travels through the Yang meridians during the day and Yin meridians at night. Yin governs the night and sleep. When Yang Qi exhausts and Yin Qi abounds, the eyes close for sleep. Now, since heat has not dispersed and merges with Yang Qi, Yang becomes excessive while Yin is deficient. Thus, even post-illness, insomnia persists because Yin has not returned to its root. The *Wai Tai Mi Yao* cites Wu Mei Tang (Black Plum Decoction) from *Zhou Hou Bei Ji Fang*.)
Dryness in the Stomach results in scanty urine; do not forcibly promote diuresis. (The *Bing Yuan* states: After sweating for Cold Damage, if sweating continues incessantly, body fluids decrease, Stomach dryness ensues, and latent heat exists in the Small Intestine, causing urinary obstruction. Therefore, forced diuresis is contraindicated.) Heat in the Lower Jiao causing obstruction requires medication based on the floating or sinking nature of the disease to guide and unblock. (For heat in the Lower Jiao, guiding and unblocking methods are applicable.) Coughing with internal fluid retention indicates Xiao Qing Long Tang (Minor Blue Dragon Decoction). (Zhang Zhongjing stated: In Cold Damage where the exterior syndrome is unresolved, with fluid accumulation in the epigastrium, presenting as dry heaves, fever, and cough, or additionally urinary difficulty, lower abdominal fullness, or wheezing, Xiao Qing Long Tang is indicated.) Neck stiffness without sweat indicates Gui Zhi Qu Gui Jia Fu Ling Bai Zhu Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction minus Cinnamon Twig plus Poria and Atractodes Decoction). (Zhang Zhongjing stated: After taking Gui Zhi Tang or undergoing purgation, if headache, neck stiffness, mild fever, absence of sweat, epigastric fullness, distending pain, and urinary difficulty persist, Gui Zhi Qu Gui Jia Fu Ling Bai Zhu Tang is indicated.) Generally, for jaundice caused by dampness, first promote diuresis to clear the pathways. (Generally, for jaundice due to dampness, diuresis should be promoted first. Zhang Zhongjing stated: The manifestation of dampness involves urinary difficulty but loose stools; only diuresis should be employed. Regarding wind-dampness, Zhang Zhongjing noted: If mistakenly purged, urinary difficulty ensues. Also, in Cold Damage, if the body color resembles jaundice like an orange peel, with free urination and slight abdominal fullness, Yin Chen Hao Tang (Artemisiae Scopariae Decoction) is indicated.) In Yangming disease, excessive sweating depletes fluids; thus, promoting diuresis is contraindicated. (Zhang Zhongjing stated: In Yangming disease, with profuse sweating and thirst, Zhu Ling Tang must not be given, as profuse sweating already causes Stomach dryness, and Zhu Ling Tang would further drain fluids via diuresis.) If Yang Qi invades the Yin aspect (pronounced 'qù shēng'), Yin deficiency allows Yang intrusion, making urination difficult with heat residing within. (The *Su Wen* states: In Yin deficiency, Yang inevitably crowds in. When Yang enters the Yin aspect, the Bladder becomes heated, causing dysuria.) Profuse sweating leakage with continuous perspiration is treated with Gui Zhi Jia Fu Zi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction plus Prepared Aconite Root). (Zhang Zhongjing stated: In Taiyang disease, after diaphoresis, if sweating leaks continuously, accompanied by aversion to wind, dysuria, and tetany of the four limbs, Gui Zhi Jia Fu Zi Tang is indicated.) Yangming Wind Strike is treated with Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction).
