Nine articles in total, three formulas.
(1) Question: What is the condition known as Huoluan (cholera-like syndrome)? Answer: Vomiting and diarrhea characterize this condition, which is named Huoluan.
"Huo" refers to vomiting; "luan" refers to chaos or disorder. The *Ling Shu* states: Clear Qi resides below, Turbid Qi resides above. When Clear and Turbid Qi interfere with each other and become chaotic in the intestines and stomach, it results in Huoluan.
(2) Question: In a disease presenting with fever, headache, body pain, aversion to cold, accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea, what disease does this belong to? Answer: This is named Huoluan. It involves spontaneous vomiting and diarrhea. If the diarrhea stops but fever recurs,
Fever, headache, body pain, and aversion to cold indicate external pathogenic invasion. Vomiting and diarrhea indicate internal injury. The previous article deduced symptoms from the disease name; here, symptoms are used to confirm the disease name, illustrating the intent of detailed explanation through repetition.
(3) In Taiyang Cold Damage (Shanghan), if the pulse is faint and choppy, the root cause was originally Huoluan. Now it has transformed into Shanghan. After four or five days, when it transmits to the Yin meridians, diarrhea will inevitably occur. If there was originally vomiting and diarrhea, it is difficult to treat. If one feels the urge to defecate but only passes flatus without stool, it belongs to Yangming syndrome; the stool will likely be hard. Recovery occurs on the thirteenth day. This is because the meridian cycle has completed its course.
The terms "zhuan" (transmit) and "shi" (lose/pass) appear in the Yangming chapter. "Ben" means root or origin, indicating that the etiology originated from Huoluan. The meaning regarding original vomiting is similar.
After diarrhea ceases, the stool should become hard. If the patient can eat despite hard stool, recovery ensues. If the patient cannot eat now, but later, during the subsequent meridian cycle, begins to eat slightly, and eats normally after exceeding one cycle, they should recover within a day. If not, it does not belong to Yangming syndrome.
This elaborates on the final section of the preceding text.
(4) For Huoluan presenting with headache, fever, and body pain: if heat predominates and the patient desires water, Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria) is indicated. If cold predominates and the patient does not desire water, Lizhong Wan (Regulate the Middle Pill) is indicated.
Formula for Lizhong Wan:
Renshen (Ginseng Radix, 3 liang), Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, 3 liang), Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, 3 liang), Ganjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma, 3 liang).
Grind the four ingredients into powder, mix with honey to form pills the size of chicken egg yolks. Dissolve one pill in a small amount of boiling water, crush well, and take warm. Take three to four times daily, and twice at night. If warmth is not felt in the abdomen, increase to three or four pills per dose. However, decoction is more effective than pills.
Decoction method: Cut the four ingredients according to the weights above, add eight sheng of water, boil to obtain three sheng, strain, and take one sheng warm, three times daily.
This provides treatment options. Heat predominance with thirst indicates excess Yang pathogen; cold predominance without thirst indicates excess Yin pathogen. Wuling San promotes water metabolism to dissipate heat, achieving simultaneous resolution of exterior and interior. "Li" means to regulate; "Zhong" means interior, referring to Interior Yin. Renshen and Baizhu are sweet and warm, warming the interior; Gancao is sweet and neutral, harmonizing the middle; Ganjiang is acrid and hot, dispersing cold. See Wuling San formula in Taiyang Upper Chapter.
Modifications:
If there is pulsation above the umbilicus, Kidney Qi is moving; remove Baizhu, add Guizhi (Cinnamon Twig) 4 liang. (Kidney Qi movement suggests impending Ben Tun (fleeing pig); remove Baizhu as the Kidney dislikes dryness; add Guizhi to subdue Kidney pathogen and drain Ben Tun.)
If vomiting is excessive, remove Baizhu, add Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger Rhizome) 3 liang. (Vomiting is rebellious Qi; Baizhu can obstruct Qi, so remove it; Shengjiang disperses Qi and is a supreme herb for vomiting.)
If diarrhea is excessive, retain Baizhu. If palpitations occur, add Fuling (Poria, 2 liang). (Excessive diarrhea indicates dampness excess; retaining Baizhu dries dampness, stopping diarrhea. Palpitations here refer to those caused by excessive water intake due to fluid retention; adding Fuling promotes water metabolism, relieving palpitations.)
If thirsty and desiring water, add Baizhu to reach a total of 4.5 liang. (Thirst indicates Spleen deficiency; adding Baizhu moderates the Spleen.)
If abdominal pain occurs, add Renshen to reach a total of 4.5 liang. (Abdominal pain indicates Interior deficiency; adding Renshen tonifies the Middle.)
If cold is severe, add Ganjiang to reach a total of 4.5 liang. ("Cold" refers to severe aversion to drinking water; Ganjiang is acrid and hot, dispersing cold, essential in such cases.)
If abdominal fullness occurs, remove Baizhu, add Fuzi (Aconite Lateralis Preparata Radix) 1 piece. After taking the decoction, wait about the time of a meal, drink approximately one sheng of hot porridge to induce slight warmth, and do not uncover clothes/bedding. (Qi stagnation causes fullness; Baizhu is sweet and cloying, hence removed; Fuzi is acrid and warm, hence added. Hot porridge assists medicinal power. Slight warmth aims for mild sweating. Covering prevents re-infection. Note: In this text, "Baizhu" is written simply as "Zhu" without the character "Bai". Why? Likely due to tight spacing in the manuscript preventing insertion of characters, preserving the original text's authenticity against later alterations. Thus, versions containing "Bai" are likely apocryphal. Observing these details reveals the author's insight. As the saying goes, observe people in their neglects.)
If vomiting and diarrhea cease but body pain persists, carefully harmonize the exterior using a small dose of Guizhi Tang (Cinnamon Twig Decoction). (Cease of vomiting/diarrhea indicates Interior harmony; persistent body pain indicates residual Exterior pathogen and new deficiency. "Xiaoxi" means to weigh/proportion. Guizhi Tang secures Wei Qi and harmonizes the Exterior. "Xiaohe" means administering small amounts to avoid excess.)
(5) With vomiting, diarrhea, sweating, fever, aversion to cold, tetanic contraction of limbs, and cold extremities, Sini Tang (Frigid Extremities Decoction) is indicated.
Vomiting, diarrhea, tetanic limbs, and cold extremities indicate Interior Yin/Blood deficiency. Sweating, fever, and aversion to cold indicate Exterior Yang decline. Sini Tang treats both Interior and Exterior simultaneously. See Sini Tang formula in Taiyang Lower Chapter.
(6) With vomiting and diarrhea, frequent urination, profuse sweating, diarrhea with undigested food, Interior cold with Exterior heat, and a faint pulse nearly imperceptible, Sini Tang is indicated.
This case is largely similar to the previous one in pathology and treatment.
(7) After vomiting has ceased and diarrhea has stopped, but sweating and cold extremities persist, limb tetany remains unresolved, and the pulse is faint and nearly imperceptible, Tongmai Sini Tang plus Zhuhuangdan (Pig Bile) is indicated.
Formula for Tongmai Sini Tang plus Zhuhuangdan:
Add Ban He (half he) of Zhuhuangdan (Pig Bile) to the Sini Tang formula. Prepare the rest according to the Sini Tang method.
"Yi" means stop; "Xia" means diarrhea; "Duan" means cut off. This summarizes the cessation of both vomiting and diarrhea, listing remaining unresolved symptoms for specific treatment. These unresolved symptoms indicate extreme Yang deficiency and extreme Yin excess, with Spleen Qi also declining. In critical conditions, standard treatment may be rejected; thus, Tongmai Sini Tang plus Pig Bile uses reverse adjuvant therapy (similar to Shaoyin Bai Tong Tang) to overcome rejection.
(8) With aversion to cold, faint pulse, and recurrent diarrhea, if diarrhea stops due to blood depletion, Sini Tang plus Renshen (Four Reversal Decoction plus Ginseng) is indicated.
Formula for Sini Tang plus Renshen:
Add Renshen (Ginseng Radix) 1 liang to the Sini Tang formula. Prepare the rest according to the Sini Tang method.
Blood depletion implies exhaustion of Jin Ye (Body Fluids). Renshen generates fluids.
(9) After vomiting, diarrhea, and sweating, if the pulse becomes normal but mild irritability/fan remains, it is due to new deficiency being unable to handle the digestion of grain qi.
This parallels the final article of the lower compilation; although detail varies, the principle is identical, serving as complementary exposition.
