Taiyang wind-stroke (Taiyang syndrome due to wind pathogen). There is diarrhea and vomiting with counterflow qi. Only when the exterior syndrome is resolved can one proceed to attack the interior. If the person sweats, with attacks occurring at specific times, headache, fullness and hardness in the epigastrium, distension radiating to the hypochondriac region, dry retching, shortness of breath, sweating without aversion to cold, this indicates that the exterior is resolved but the interior is not harmonized. Shi Zao Tang (Ten Jujube Decoction) should be administered.
This is an external contraction of wind-cold with internal suspension of fluid (xuan yin). The diarrhea and vomiting with counterflow qi result from the fluid attacking upward and then draining downward. However, one must wait until the wind pathogen has been resolved before attacking the fluid. If the person sweats and has no aversion to cold, it signifies that the exterior is resolved; fullness and hardness in the epigastrium, distension radiating to the hypochondriac region, dry retching, and shortness of breath signify that the interior is not harmonized. Although there is a headache, since it occurs at specific times, it is known not to be wind pathogen in the meridians, but rather fluid qi attacking upward. Therefore, Shi Zao Tang (Ten Jujube Decoction) is suitable to descend qi and expel fluid.
Shi Zao Tang (Ten Jujube Decoction) Formula:
Yuan Hua (Genkwa Flos), Gan Sui (Kansui Radix), Da Ji (Euphorbiae Pekinensis Radix), Da Zao (Jujubae Fructus, ten pieces).
The above three herbs (Yuan Hua, Gan Sui, Da Ji) are of equal parts, each separately pounded into powder. Use one sheng and half of water, first decoct ten fat jujubes (Da Zao) until eight ge of liquid remains, remove the dregs, and add the powders of the other herbs. Strong individuals take one fang cun bi (a measure for powder); weak individuals take half a fang cun bi. Take warm. Administer on an empty stomach in the morning. If the purgation is slight and the disease persists, administer again the next day, increasing by half a fang cun bi. After obtaining free and profuse purgation, nourish oneself with millet porridge.
According to the Jin Gui Yao Lue (Essential Prescriptions of the Golden Cabinet): "After drinking, if water flows and stays in the hypochondriac region, causing pain upon coughing and expectoration, it is called suspension of fluid (xuan yin)." It also states: "For those suffering from suspension of fluid, Shi Zao Tang (Ten Jujube Decoction) should be administered." Here, the fullness and hardness in the epigastrium with distension radiating to the hypochondriac region indicate suspension of fluid. Suspension of fluid cannot be removed without purgation. Yuan Hua (Genkwa Flos), Gan Sui (Kansui Radix), and Da Ji (Euphorbiae Pekinensis Radix) are harsh drugs for expelling fluid. To attack the fluid, one must protect the healthy qi. Da Zao (Jujubae Fructus) is sweet and warm, benefiting middle qi, thereby preventing damage from the toxicity of the medicine.
Wind-stroke with fever, unresolved after six or seven days, accompanied by vexation, presenting both exterior and interior syndromes, thirst desire to drink water, but vomiting immediately after ingestion, is named water counterflow (shui ni). Wu Ling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria) should be administered.
Taiyang wind pathogen, persisting for six or seven days without resolution, transforms into heat and transmits to the interior, causing vexation and thirst. "Presenting both exterior and interior syndromes" refers to body heat, vexation, and thirst. Thirst desire to drink water, but the water qi fails to circulate and instead counterflows upward causing vomiting. Named "water counterflow," it means counterflow due to water qi, not fire counterflow or qi counterflow. Therefore, one should use Wu Ling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria), a formula with acrid, sweet, and bland properties, to guide out water and drain heat.
Wu Ling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria) Formula:
Zhu Ling (Polyporus), Fu Ling (Poria), Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma, 18 zhu each), Gui Zhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus, half liang), Ze Xie (Alismatis Rhizoma, 1 liang 6 zhu).
The above five herbs are pounded into powder. Mix with white rice drink (congee water) and take one fang cun bi per dose. Take three times daily. Drink plenty of warm water afterwards; recovery occurs with sweating.
