Lu (Niudian Bridge): Blood fails to nourish the sinews, compounded by wind-dampness obstructing the collaterals. The deficiency of the Yangming channel cannot bind the bones and sinews to facilitate joint movement, resulting in numbness and insensitivity of the fingers. This is what is known as "wind invading the extremities" (Feng Yin Mo Ji). The pulse is small, wiry, and rapid. Treatment should harmonize the Ying (Nutritive) level to dispel wind-dampness.
Coix Seed (Yiyi Ren), Western Gentian Root (Xiqinjiao), Poria with Skin (Daipiling), Tender Cinnamon Twig (Nengguizhi), Dioscorea Hypoglauca Rhizome (Chuanbi), Whole Angelica Sinensis (Quandanggui), Silkworm Frass (Wancansha), Turmeric Tuber Slice (Pianjiang Huang), Chaenomelas Fruit (Xuanmugua), Safflower Seeds (Honghuali).
If Safflower is unavailable, it may be replaced with Spatholobus Stem (Jixueteng) and Wild Mulberry Branch (Yesangzhi).
Another patient: Wind-dampness has caused Bi syndrome, characterized by wandering pain without a fixed location. Add Frankincense (Ruxiang) 7 fen and half a cup of aged rice wine to the previous prescription for decoction.
Qiu: The mixed invasion of wind, cold, and dampness constitutes Bi syndrome. When wind predominates, it is called Wandering Bi (Xing Bi); when cold predominates, it is called Painful Bi (Tong Bi); when dampness predominates, it is called Fixed Bi (Zhuo Bi). The bi obstruction of the foot sinews arises from blood failing to nourish the sinews, with cold-dampness sinking into the Yangming channels and collaterals. The pulse is wiry and rapid, and the tongue coating is thin and white. Treatment should involve dispersing and resolving.

Wild Mulberry Branch hanging down (Chuixia Yesangzhi), Xiao Huoluo Dan (Little Live-Lotus Pill) (one pill, split open and dissolved in boiling water for administration).
Mr. Kang Zuo (July): Cold-dampness sinks downward, causing swelling and pain in the sinews and collaterals at Zusanli (ST36), making it impossible to bear weight on the feet. The *Neijing* states: "Extension but not flexion indicates disease in the bone." The pulse is wiry and slow. Treatment should harmonize the Ying (Nutritive) level to drive out wind-dampness.
Referencing Qiu's formula, add Prepared Aconite Root (Shu Fupian) and Clematis Root (Weilingxian).
Mr. Li Zuo (26 years old, Guanqian, 10th day): Hemiplegia is largely due to the loss of nourishment to the bones and sinews, allowing cold-dampness to invade the sinews and collaterals through gaps. The previously proposed method of warming and unblocking the sinews and collaterals has yielded slight improvement. The pulse is wiry and slow; continue with the previous method with modifications.

Furthermore, regarding hemiplegia, the Hejian Tiger-Hiding Method (Hejian Hujian Fa) was proposed. Movement has been achieved, but there is weakness in the tibia, and the large sinews are soft and short. This is still due to blood failing to nourish the sinews. The pulse is wiry; continue following the previous method.
