After the treatment of sweating for a cold damage disease, if vomiting or purging methods are also applied, and after the exterior pathogenic factor has resolved, symptoms of epigastric fullness and hardness, along with persistent belching (hiccough), occur. In such cases, Xuanfu Daizhe Shi Tang (Inula and Hematite Decoction) is the primary prescription.
After sweating, or vomiting, or purging for a cold damage disease, although the pathogenic factor has resolved, if epigastric fullness and hardness persist along with unrelenting belching, it indicates that the Stomach Qi is weak and disharmonious, causing phlegm-fluids to move upward and reverse.
Xuanfu Hua (Inulae Flos) is salty and warm, capable of moving fluids and descending Qi. Daizhe Shi (Hematitum) is bitter and heavy in texture, capable of sinking phlegm and descending Qi. Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) and Shengjiang (Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens) are acrid and warm. Renshen (Ginseng Radix), Dazao (Jujubae Fructus), and Gancao (Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma Preparata cum Melle) are sweet and warm. Used in combination, they harmonize Stomach Qi and stop deficiency-type rebellious Qi.
Formula: Xuanfu Daizhe Shi Tang (Inula and Hematite Decoction)
Xuanfu Hua (Inulae Flos) (3 liang)
Renshen (Ginseng Radix) (2 liang)
Zhi Gancao (Prepared Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (3 liang)
Shengjiang (Fresh Zingiberis Rhizoma) (5 liang, sliced)
Banxia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) (0.5 sheng, washed)
Daizhe Shi (Hematitum) (1 liang)
Dazao (Jujubae Fructus) (12 pieces, split)
Take the above seven ingredients, add 1 dou of water, decoct to obtain 6 sheng, remove the dregs, and decoct again to obtain 3 sheng. Take 1 sheng warm, three times daily.
After vomiting or purging for a cold damage disease, if there is a sensation of rebellious fullness in the epigastrium, Qi rushing up to the chest, dizziness upon rising, and a deep, tight pulse, further sweating will disturb the meridians, causing the body to tremble and shake uncontrollably. In such cases, Linggui Zhugan Tang (Poria, Cinnamon Twig, Atractylodes Macrocephala and Licorice Decoction) is the primary prescription.
This is a syndrome where the cold damage pathogen has resolved but fluid retention arises. Fluid retention stagnating in the middle causes fullness; reversing upward causes Qi rushing to the chest and dizziness; entering the meridians causes trembling and shaking. The *Jin Gui Yao Lue* states: "For patients with fluid retention between the diaphragm, there is wheezing and fullness, epigastric stiffness and hardness, and a deep, tight pulse." It also states: "With phlegm-fluids in the heart region, there is distending fullness in the chest and hypochondrium, and dizziness." It further states: "If the person trembles violently, there must be latent fluid retention." The phrase "sweating disturbs the meridians" implies that since there is no exterior pathogen to release, sweating instead disturbs the meridian Qi. Therefore, Poria and Atractylodes Macrocephala are used to eliminate fluid retention, while Cinnamon Twig and Licorice are used to generate Yang Qi. This aligns with the principle that for diseases involving phlegm-fluids, one should use warm herbs to harmonize.
Formula: Linggui Zhugan Tang (Poria, Cinnamon Twig, Atractylodes Macrocephala and Licorice Decoction)
Fuling (Poria) (4 liang)
Guizhi (Cinnamomi Ramulus) (3 liang)
Baizhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma)
Zhi Gancao (Prepared Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma) (each 2 liang)
Take the above four ingredients, add 6 sheng of water, decoct to obtain 3 sheng, and divide into three warm doses.
Generally, for any disease, whether treated with sweating, vomiting, purging, or resulting in the loss of Body Fluids, if Yin and Yang can naturally harmonize, the disease will surely resolve on its own.
"Naturally harmonizing Yin and Yang" refers to a state where there is no bias toward Yin or Yang, sweat excretes naturally, and urination and defecation regulate themselves. After sweating, vomiting, or purging leads to the loss of Body Fluids, the pathogenic factor becomes slight, and the Healthy Qi is preserved; thus, self-healing is inevitable.
