湿邪有三大原因，曰天地人。何则？属于天者，雨露之湿，从天而下降也。属于地者，泥水之湿，由地之所
生也。属于人者，酒浆之快饮，生冷之恣食，汗衣之穿，湿席之卧，澡浴衣履之不干，无一非人自取之地。经
曰∶诸湿胀满，皆属于脾。是治湿固当以理脾为先着，然湿因于寒为寒湿，因于热为热湿，因于风为风湿，因于
燥为燥湿，是湿又当视其所因而通变之。治湿之法∶湿在上宜散，湿在中宜燥，湿在下宜清，然此亦守经之法。
施于小儿，又当大而变之之谓化，化而不可知之之谓神，法虽不能尽详，爰照一隅之举，为伤湿病。
After a child contracts summerheat (Shu, 暑) and subsequently is exposed to wind-cold (Fenghan, 风寒), the symptoms include fever without sweating, thirst with desire to drink, flushed complexion, dry retching or nausea, or colicky abdominal pain. The child may exhibit lethargy and loss of appetite. Ancient methods primarily recommend Erxiang Yin (Two Fragrances Decoction), which contains Perillae Folium (Suye, 紫苏叶), Agastache Herba (Huoxiang, 藿香), Poria (Fuling, 茯苓), Dolichos Lablab Seed (Bian Dou, 扁豆), Magnolia Bark (Nongpu, 厚朴), Citrus Reticulatae Pericarpium (Chenpi, 陈皮), Pinellia Rhizome (Banxia, 半夏), Glycyrrhiza Root (Gancao, 甘草), Areca Peel (Dafupi, 大腹皮), Angelica Dahurica Root (Baizhi, 白芷), Platycodon Root (Jiegeng, 桔梗), Coptis Rhizome (Huanglian, 黄连), and Elsholtzia Herba (Xiangru, 香薷), with Fresh Ginger (Shengjiang, 生姜) and Juncus Effusus Spike (Dengxin, 灯芯) as guides.
[Commentary by Chen Shouzhen] Xiangru (Elsholtzia Herba) is acrid and warm in nature, possessing ascending and dispersing properties. Even if its action is restrained by bitter-descending agents such as Apricot Kernel (Xingren, 杏仁), Scutellaria Root (Huangqin, 黄芩), and Coptis Rhizome (Huanglian, 黄连), it is generally not suitable. Therefore, it is recommended to use Perillae Folium (Suye, 紫苏叶) 1.5g, Agastache Herba (Huoxiang, 藿香) 1.5g, Poria (Fuling, 茯苓) 4.5g, Magnolia Bark (Nongpu, 厚朴) 2.4g, Dolichos Lablab Seed Coat (Biandouyi, 扁豆衣) 3g, and Coptis Rhizome (Chuan Huanglian, 川黄连) 0.9g, with Fresh Lotus Stem (Xian Hegeng, 鲜荷梗) 6g and Juncus Effusus Spike (Dengxin, 灯芯) 10cm as guides, prepared as a decoction.
When a child suffers from summerheat leading to Qi deficiency, presenting with fever accompanied by sweating, headache, thirst, restlessness, cold feet, aversion to cold, weak breath, and mental fatigue, Ginseng Radix et Rhizoma (Renshen, 人参) should be added in small amounts to tonify Qi within a formula that clears summerheat.
For children suffering from summerheat complicated by food stagnation, manifesting as vomiting or diarrhea, use only Magnolia Bark (Chuan Nongpu, 川浓朴) 3g, Dolichos Lablab Seed Coat (Biandouyi, 扁豆衣) 4.5g, Hawthorn Fruit (Shanzha, 山楂), Polyporus (Zhu Ling, 猪苓) 9g, Immature Bitter Orange (Zhishi, 枳实) 1.5g, Raw Licorice Root (Sheng Gancao, 生甘草) 0.9g, and Fresh Lotus Leaf Margin (Xian Heyebian, 鲜荷叶边) 4.5g as a guide.
Pediatric Summerwind Disease (Shufeng, 暑风) occurs when summerheat-heat attacks the Liver, resembling convulsive disorders. Symptoms include irritability, thirst, fever with sweating, and spasms of the hands and feet. It is urgent to clear fire and descend phlegm. Use Coptis Rhizome (Chuan Huanglian, 川黄连) 1.8g, Forsythia Fruit (Lianqiao, 连翘) 4.5g, Gardenia Fruit (Hei Zhizi, 黑栀子) 1.5g, Calcined Talcum (Fei Huashi, 飞滑石) 9g, Akebia Caulis (Xi Mutong, 细木通) 2.4g, Scutellaria Root (Dan Huangqin, 淡黄芩) 2.4g, Immature Bitter Orange (Xiao Zhishi, 小枳实) 2.4g, Trichosanthes Powder (Gualou Shuang, 栝蒌霜) 4.5g, Plantago Seed (Cheqianzi, 车前子) 3g, Raw Licorice Root (Sheng Gancao, 生甘草) 0.9g, and Fresh Lotus Flower Dew (Xian Hehua Lu, 鲜荷花露) 30ml. Mix the herbs and administer slowly.
When summerheat-heat rushes to the Heart in children, or when it carries phlegm upward, causing mental confusion and stupor, use Cinnabar Yi Yuan San (Chensha Yiyuan San, 辰砂益元散) 9g and Juncus Effusus Spike (Dengxin, 灯芯) 10cm. Decoct these in water and dissolve Baolong Wan (Bao Long Pill, 抱龙丸) 0.3g to administer orally.
The causes of Dampness (Shi, 湿) are threefold: Heaven, Earth, and Human. What belongs to Heaven? Rain and dew moisture descend from the sky. What belongs to Earth? Mud and water moisture arise from the ground. What belongs to Human? Rapid consumption of alcoholic beverages, excessive intake of raw and cold foods, wearing sweat-soaked clothes, sleeping on damp mats, and not drying clothes and shoes after bathing—none of these are not self-inflicted. The Classic states: "All dampness-induced distension and fullness belong to the Spleen." Therefore, treating dampness must prioritize regulating the Spleen. However, dampness caused by Cold becomes Cold-Dampness; by Heat, Heat-Dampness; by Wind, Wind-Dampness; by Dryness, Dryness-Dampness. Thus, treatment must vary according to the causative factor. Methods for treating dampness: Dampness in the Upper Jiao should be dispersed; Dampness in the Middle Jiao should be dried; Dampness in the Lower Jiao should be cleared. These are standard classical methods. When applied to children, further transformation is required. This transformation is called "Hua" (Transformation); when transformation reaches an unpredictable level, it is called "Shen" (Spirit/Divine). Although methods cannot be exhaustively detailed, one example is provided here regarding diseases caused by Dampness.
