于栀子豉汤内加入。甘草(二两)
余根据前法。得吐。止后服。
内台方议云。心烦懊 等证。属栀子豉汤。已主之矣。若其人少气者。为元气虚乏。热搏不能固也。加甘草之甘。
以缓其中而补其气。愚以少气者。乃热伤气而气促急。非真气虚乏也。加甘草者。以甘缓之之义。服汤后。宜徐徐吐之。
妙。

于栀子豉汤方内加 生姜(五两)
余根据前法。得吐。止后服。
内台方议云。心烦懊 等证。与栀子豉汤吐之则已也。若又呕者。为热气搏逆不散。加生姜之辛以散其气。而止
其呕也。
发汗若下之。而烦热。胸中窒者。栀子豉汤主之。(窒塞也。汗下后。邪热未解。客于胸中。胸中窒塞。故生烦热。
与栀子豉汤者。以吐胸中之邪热也。愚以胸中窒者。内有物也。或问内有物。何以下之而不出。以其物在膈上。故宜用
吐法也。尚论篇以此条论为实烦证。非是故欤。)
伤寒五六日。大下之后。身热不去。心中结痛者。未欲解也。栀子豉汤主之。(伤寒五六日。若似乎可下矣。然此终
是太阳表证仍在。为不可下之时。所以大下之后。身热不去者。表受邪也。心中结痛者。邪客于胸也。成注云。若大下
后。身热去。心胸空者。为欲解。今者身热不去。心中结痛。是未欲解。与栀子豉汤。以吐胸中之邪热。盖吐中有发散
之义。故身热亦从此而去。按成注云。大下后。身热去心中结痛者。结胸也。身热不去。心中结痛者。虚烦也。彼以仲
景栀子豉汤第一条证。心中懊 者。为虚烦。故以此条用栀子豉汤。亦云虚烦证也。殊不知心中结痛。比上条胸中窒更
甚。当是实烦之证。但身热不去。此为热气未尽。收敛于内。比结胸证。为少轻耳。用药虽同证则迥异。)
(附例)下利后。更烦按之心下濡者。为虚烦也。宜栀子豉汤(濡当作软。此条自厥阴篇移附于此。下利后更烦者。
此非用药下后而发烦。乃自利之后而更烦也。盖阳经下利。本发烦热。但既下之后。则烦当减而邪欲解矣。若其烦比前
更加。及按之。心下却软而不硬不痛者。是为虚烦。成注云。此邪气乘虚。客于胸中也。与栀子豉汤。吐之则愈。或问
邪传三阴。则下利。子何得以厥阴下利之证。而移之太阳篇也。余答云。如厥阴病热下利。则不但烦而当见消渴证矣。
若谓阳经无下利之证。则是仲景葛根汤证。非太阳阳明合病之自下利乎。学人当以理格之。)
伤寒下后。心烦腹满卧起不安者。栀子浓朴汤主之。(本太阳伤寒。表邪未解而误下之。以致心烦腹满。心烦者。邪
入而壅于高分也。邪热壅于高分。则心以下之气不能宣越。因而腹满。既烦且满。故令卧起不安成注云。与栀子浓朴汤。
以吐烦泄满。)

Add Gancao (Licorice Root, *Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma*) (two liang) to Zhizi Chi Tang (Gardenia and Fermented Soybean Decoction).
Prepare and administer the remaining herbs according to the previous method. If vomiting occurs after taking the medicine, stop administering the remainder.
The commentary in *Neitai Fangyi* states: Symptoms such as vexation and restlessness (Xin Fan Ao Nao) belong to the Zhizi Chi Tang pattern and have already been treated with this formula. If the patient also presents with "shao qi" (shortness of breath or deficiency of vital energy), it is due to a deficiency of primordial qi, where heat binds and fails to secure the qi. The addition of the sweet flavor of Gancao serves to moderate the middle jiao and tonify the qi. I believe that "shao qi" in this context refers to急促 breathing caused by heat damaging the qi, rather than a true deficiency of primordial qi. The addition of Gancao follows the principle that "sweetness moderates urgency." After taking the decoction, one should expect a gradual expulsion of pathogens via vomiting. This is ingenious.

Add Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger, *Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens*) (five liang) to the Zhizi Chi Tang formula.
Prepare and administer the remaining herbs according to the previous method. If vomiting occurs after taking the medicine, stop administering the remainder.
The commentary in *Neitai Fangyi* states: For symptoms such as vexation and restlessness, inducing vomiting with Zhizi Chi Tang will resolve them. If vomiting additionally occurs, it is because pathogenic heat binds and rebels upward without dispersing. The addition of the pungent flavor of Shengjiang disperses the qi and stops the vomiting.
After treatment with sweating or purging methods, if vexation-heat and a sensation of obstruction in the chest appear, Zhizi Chi Tang should be administered. (Obstruction refers to a feeling of blockage. After sweating or purging, if pathogenic heat remains unresolved and lodges in the chest, causing chest obstruction, vexation-heat arises. Zhizi Chi Tang is given to induce vomiting and expel the pathogenic heat from the chest. I consider that "chest obstruction" implies the presence of tangible pathogenic factors within. One might ask: If there are tangible factors inside, why use vomiting instead of purgation? Because the pathogen is located above the diaphragm, the vomiting method is appropriate. *Shanglun Pian* classifies this clause as an excess vexation pattern, questioning whether it is not so.)
In Shaoyang disease progressing for five to six days, after severe purging, if body heat persists and there is a knotted pain in the heart region, the condition has not yet resolved; Zhizi Chi Tang should be administered. (At five to six days of Shaoyang disease, it may seem appropriate to purge. However, this ultimately remains a Taiyang exterior pattern, making it a time when purging is contraindicated. Therefore, after severe purging, if body heat persists, it is because the exterior was affected by pathogens. Knotted pain in the heart region indicates pathogens lodging in the chest. Cheng Wuji's annotation states: If after severe purging, body heat subsides and the chest feels empty, resolution is imminent. Now, since body heat persists and there is knotted pain in the heart, resolution has not occurred. Zhizi Chi Tang is given to vomit out pathogenic heat from the chest. Generally, the vomiting method contains the meaning of dispersion, so body heat also departs thereby. According to Cheng Wuji: After severe purging, if body heat subsides but knotted pain in the heart remains, it is Jie Xiong (Chest Binding); if body heat persists and knotted pain in the heart remains, it is Xu Fan (Deficiency Vexation). He based this on the first clause of Zhang Zhongjing's Zhizi Chi Tang, where "vexation and restlessness" is classified as deficiency vexation, thus considering this clause using Zhizi Chi Tang as also deficiency vexation. Little does he know that "knotted pain in the heart" is more severe than the "chest obstruction" in the previous clause and should be considered an excess vexation pattern. However, since body heat persists, it indicates that heat is not fully exhausted and has contracted inward. Compared to Jie Xiong, it is slightly milder. Although the medication is the same, the patterns are distinctly different.)
(Attached Example: After diarrhea, if vexation increases and palpation of the epigastrium reveals softness, it is deficiency vexation; Zhizi Chi Tang is appropriate. ("Ru" should be interpreted as "soft". This clause was originally moved from the Jueyin chapter and appended here. Diarrhea followed by increased vexation is not vexation induced by medicinal purging, but vexation arising spontaneously after natural diarrhea. Generally, diarrhea from Yang meridians naturally induces vexation-heat. But once diarrhea has occurred, vexation should decrease, and pathogens should desire to resolve. If vexation becomes worse than before, and palpation of the epigastrium reveals softness without hardness or pain, this is deficiency vexation. Cheng Wuji annotates: This is pathogenic qi taking advantage of deficiency to lodge in the chest. Giving Zhizi Chi Tang and inducing vomiting will cure it. One might ask: When pathogens transmit to the Three Yin meridians, diarrhea occurs. Why do you move a Jueyin diarrhea pattern to the Taiyang chapter? I reply: If Jueyin disease involves heat-induced diarrhea, one would not only see vexation but also thirst and excessive drinking. If one claims that Yang meridians have no diarrhea patterns, then isn't Zhang Zhongjing's Gegen Tang syndrome simply spontaneous diarrhea from a combined Taiyang-Yangming disease? Learners should reason through this medically.)
After Shaoyang disease is treated with purging, if vexation, abdominal fullness, and restlessness (unable to lie down or sit up comfortably) occur, Zhizi Houpo Tang (Gardenia and Magnolia Bark Decoction) should be administered. (Originally Taiyang Shaoyang disease, where exterior pathogens remained unresolved, mistaken purging led to vexation and abdominal fullness. Vexation arises because pathogens entered and obstructed the upper portion (high fen); pathogenic heat obstructing the upper portion prevents the qi below the heart from circulating freely, resulting in abdominal fullness. With both vexation and fullness, one becomes restless. Cheng Wuji annotates: Zhizi Houpo Tang is given to vomit out vexation and drain fullness.)
